Thank you for all your work. I'll definitely tune in to your casting at the finals.
P.S. Writing a blog about what happened today at the venue.

It is OK Kim Carrier, Because what you and the other guys made SC:BW has allowed the opportunity for eSports to grow out of proportions. If you had asked anyone 12-15 years ago where they thought eSports today would be in 10-15 years, Hell even 5, then there would only have been a few people who would even dream of what we have today. Only through the works of people such as you have we been able to go beyond even the wildest imaginations, and into the today. It is OK Kim Carrier, we might not be in your shoes completely, but we grew up as the first generation who had access to eSports when ever we wanted, sure it existed before that, but not like this. We have had so much enjoyment, rage, tears as our favorite players lost, happiness and some of us has even become almost religious when it comes to defending our players, our teams, our favorite casters. Even though we might be drawing to an end, we all know that the memories that we have gained along the way will never be lost. And one day when my grandchildren are watching eSports on television, or on the internet or whatever they might have in the future, and watch as their favorite players or teams win or lose and start to ask where it, eSports, came from; Ill tell them how it all begun in a land far far away, long before their time. And I will tell them the stories, the drama, the creation of OGN and MBCGame, the tales of the majestic OSL and the Proleague. Then I will dig out the old VODs and show them the rise of Boxer, the legend of Saviour, the games of the Dreamer, NaDa and Iloveoov. The 6 dragons, not to mention the Ultimate weapon Flash and his games (and so many more). And when all is done, I shall remember what a beautiful time it was, and to illustrate the whole picture I will find this picture and tell them: This. This is eSports. | ||

I'm going to fly to Korea for the final, and have been pulling for Jangbi since the beginning. Although I really like Zero, this is JANGBANGER'S OSL. Now at least we are all but guarenteed a good final, no matter who wins. Was fisting pumping pretty hard and yelling a bit. Thought all was really lost there, and my trip would be much less purposeful. I'm really happy right now. | ||

The biggest regret I have is that everybody whose careers so closely revolved around broodwar (Mainly broadcasters, players, commentators) somehow pays a hefty price for it. For me, the golden age of electronic sports have past - there's just too many uncertainties and (personal) doubts I have with it now. And solely for this I wish korean esports the best in the future. | ||

I walked in to her house with a giddy smile on my face. Her: What's the matter with you? Me: I just saw one of the most amazing Zerg vs Protoss series ever, on a computer game that was released 14 years ago. For the second time. Her: What? | ||

I've started out with sc2, but watching broodwar for the past few months have just really made me feel the intensity and the depth of the BW, and how one video game made over a decade ago can evolve and affect so many emotions and lives. As much as I love sc2, Broodwar has come to a point where it's something more than just a video game we play; some one said earlier a "culture". I'd love to see sc2 reach that point one day, but man, it's going to be nearly impossible. I've been playing more broodwar than sc2 recently..it's pretty funny lol. Broodwar forever! Excellent post Good: SC2 helped bring more fans (not a lot but some) to BW. Sad: This is the last dance  | ||
