Kingdom streams on Afreeca - http://www.afreecatv.com/kkingw
Don't think we'll ever see GGPlay ever again - when he retired, his main reason was because of wrist-related issues which are ongoing.

Judging from a brief view of his afreeca and memory, I don't think Kingdom streams regularly and when he did, played BW rarely. But it'll be nice to see all the Kings stream BW at the same time.

Cool to see him back! Starcraft remastered is very hype and i'm sure he is not the last to come back to the best game.
Old school korean gosu has opportunity to stream and make more money than they used to.

Not sure if you mean they will make more money than they used to as progamers or that they will have more of an opportunity to make money from streaming than they used to. I think the former is decidedly untrue for players of Reach's caliber playing in the golden era of BW hype, while the latter is quite possible.

This is exciting. What are the chances he gets serious with it?

That doesn't take much imagination. I'd think it likely if he's serious about comeback.

Reach was one of the early superstars of Brood War. Very good and very popular.
He was also the face of the KTF MagicNs team for many years until Flash came along. Reach would later become the head coach of KTF MagicNs/KT Rolster and was a mentor to Flash and many other KT players.

I dunno. He'd have to be really serious. Reach was good, but he wasn't a top player in the most competitive era of BW, and it's only gotten better since then. Obviously there is talent there, but going from B on Fish to competing with the best players in ASL is a MAJOR step up.
It would be cool to see a former "old school" champion start putting in the big 8-12 hour days and make a run at returning to prominence, but I'd guess most of them are at points where they aren't young and single-mindedly hungry for BW glory having families, relationships, and other life aspirations in the mix. Being good at BW is incredibly time demanding. You can do it, but you need a pretty single-minded focus to do so.

Reach was known for being tall and muscular. For example, he could lift an entire bison over his head. And then devour it. He had to change keyboards between games as his fingers continually punched through them. Also Reach's MANlots were at least twice as powerful as regular zealots, which was a hack but he had a grandfathered in exemption to the rule as he'd been using it before it was banned in competitive play. He defeated Boxer and became champion by taking him at his word and punching him several times to the head between games.

One of the few players who, not only by his play, but also by his natural aura seems larger than life... Something about the champions of old that not even the net-best players of all time can reach (no pun intended).
