I havn't been following BW for years now.

Can someone explain who this Sonic is, and why everyone is praising him?

Sure we already had our Terran Emperor in (T)BoxeR, a (Z)sAviOr, and a God in (T)Flash, but Sonic is truly what we needed as a community to bring us back to this, a true fan and spectator of the game we loved.

He basically revived organised, high level brood war in SKorea. He scarified an incredible amount of time and money (financing everything through his business or personal loans) to achieve this. The guy poured his heart and soul into his dream of reviving brood war and he 'officially' accomplished this with the OGN partnership. Above all else, he's kept alive the game a lot of us have cherished for a long time, but feared was fading into obscurity. For this, a lot of people, myself included (if it wasn't obvious), have a great respect for the guy.

I really hope BW gets "revived" by KeSPA somehow.

I honestly think that it will only be a matter of time before KeSPA gets back into BW, Get the whole Hybrid thing going on again. :-P

i suggest you start reading here and here to get up to speed. But basically, Sonic is the Bonjwa of BW Organizers/Supporters.

Wow...never expected this to happen. Hope the quality of the games will continue to improve and in time surpass those held in the pre sc2 era.

All the best!

Those mice are worth $8,000. I think they will look for any excuse not to give them out so easily. If this tournament goes down well they might just reboot their whole OSL without Sonic which would be amazing.

SSL would become the new MSL.
