Schools having to shut down their internet because everyone was skipping class to watch the boy who would be MarineKing playing Starcraft 1. Jaedong's Mutalisks, Fantasy's Vultures, and Bisu's probes. All gone. Jangbi, Fantasy, play us out in style. This almost made me tear up. O__O | ||

The 4th will be a very special day, the day the last BW champion will be crowned, the day the glory of RTS will fade away from the universe, a complete epic history filled with legends, gods and traitors. | ||

Boxer, iloveoov, fantasy Make it happen also my feelings for last osl/bw finals: owheroiwueoruw308470934091u32434 ;; T_T :D awu483u409234 3 gah asdf On August 04 2012 05:46 kornetka wrote: It would be absolutely unjust if this series didn't come to fifth set. Like, really unjust. I agree. Hopefully the importance of this last one wont make 1 significantly more shaky than the other. If they are both shaky and not playing their best, that's ok because it can create tension. But I don't want to see 1 get dominated. I want both of these players to have practiced like crazy and bring the best they can to this finals. | ||

The OSL is the cold clanking of a sieging tank, the shrill squeal of the zergling and the immortal cry of the zealot. The OSL is Boxer in Coca Cola. Nada in Panasonic and July in Gilette. It is the tears shed at EVER 2004, the bitter disappointment of So1 and the the single jewel in the crown of a King at Shinhan 3. The OSL is every alarm clock you have set so you wouldn't miss a stream. The OSL is every post you have made, every thread you have read, every translation you have pored over. The OSL is every silent prayer you have uttered as your hero took to the booth. The OSL is about a story, told and retold, from mensrea and Waxangel, down the ages, passed on from generation to generation of Broodwar fan. The OSL is the story of you, the story of me, the story of TeamLiquid. Most of you reading this piece have seen hundreds, if not thousands of games. You have seen players rise and fall and watched strategies shift and times change. Yet, all of you have a few special moments, a handful of memories that you carry with you, some of them written out in 240p from a time before HD, some of them jotted down in long forgotten LR threads. And sometimes, if you're really, really lucky, on a starry night in Seoul, you will get to add to those memories, and for a moment, a minute, a second, as psi storms fill the sky and a zealot drops from a shuttle to accomplish the impossible, the unthinkable, you will be filled with the awe and wonder what you felt when you first found this beautiful game. For when you distil its essence, the OSL is just that - a decade long story. The story of us." - Riptide, OSL Legacy | ||
