Very nice write up, I'm pretty sure anyone from MBC would smile while reading it.
Sad that something that give people so many fun and dreams had to end, but nothing is forever T_T
However, as they said, though their history will sleep now, our dreams never will.

Thanks for video compilation, I can't wait to see them all.

I was listening to this whilst reading... And when I got to this part:

"Starting from just four desks in 2001, we were a gathering of people who loved games and imagined the future.
What we imagined became reality, and in turn, that reality has become undeniable history.
Though our history will sleep now, our dreams never will.
Thank you for your love."

I lost it.

I wish that I had been there when sAviOr shattered everything there was to know about TvZ, when Nal_ra made the most insane recalls... When the boy defeated the bonjwa.

RIP
MBC Game
I barely knew you.
<3

Loved MBC and the starcraft played there. My favorite game of all MBC was JD vs Bisu on bluestorm. Glad its in the top 25 games.

Even though I stopped playing BW I still watch my favorite players play. And always think back at the time I was B on iccup as zerg and sometimes felt so increadible frustrated when losing to a good protoss. That just makes watching players like JD so tense and fun, when you know how hard it is to pull of what they are doing.

So sad this is coming to an end.

Sad that I'm going to Korea for the first time after this is over...

Thank you for the amazing written recollection and retrospective.

What a great looking post.
I'm always impressed by the consistent and unique production quality of these articles and graphics.
It's not something that's mentioned a lot, but this truly is of remarkable quality.
TL setting the bar so high that no one will want to compete.

This is the single best piece I've read/seen (it truly is a visual masterpiece) on TL. MBCGame constantly rose in quality of games. Similarly, TL has constantly risen in quality of coverage and presentation. I wish this could be translated into Korean and posted everywhere, because the MSL needs to be remembered like THIS, not as it was in the MBC program. Simply breathtaking.

Thank you to everyone who has worked in MSL coverage, I have read every update for the past 7 years if not longer.

I actually prefered the MSL to OSL. I don't know exactly why, but I just found it a little more exciting. I liked the matches a little more, the format a little more. It's really sad to see it go, and it's sad to think what this will mean for the incomes of progamers in Korea. I really hope some other company will start a new esports channel; competition is a good thing.

That was truly an amazing time. Really hard to realize that bw's time is running out....Watch those top25 of MSL - you'll never see that again in any other game. U will never be able to experience these emotions from another game. Starcraft : Brood War - It IS just a game, but sometimes it's more than that. Peace!
