Above in the OSL vod, scroll to 3:48:07 (let it play from 0:00 before you scroll, or there may be no sound).
The song itself in the version they used is here (they cut it carefully and put on repeat):

Kim Carrier got his carrier one last time at least. Made me cry man.
that's probably one of the moments i'll remember when i think of brood war. the way the crowd cheered and you kind of felt they were cheering for the carriers themselves, for kim carrier, and for the dying sport itself all at once
I want to say, I'm extremely happy for Jangbi's victory. Because actually, he's my favorite player of all time.
I started playing StarCraft when I was 5 back in 2000, and honestly, it was the first game that I had ever played. So imagine my gaming standard now!
I used to get laughed at for playing such a "nerdy game" but I honestly loved it. The first professional tournament I had ever watched was Blizzcon 2008. That was when I first heard of Jangbi. His hold against Savior's six pool but inevitable loss made me extremely sympathetic towards him.
When I found out that was him, he instantly became my favorite player. I love high templars and psi storm. What more could I ask from a player?
I followed him in the Lost Saga MSL in 2009. I watched him take out Nada and Stork but ultimately lose to Luxury. After that silver, Jangbi essentially dropped out of the spotlight and fell into a slump.
I subscribed to VioletAK's channel and would only watch the matches with Jangbi in some hopes that he would be big again. At that point, I had really believed that he was just a one time player nowhere near a Brood War legend. Once again, my friends ridiculed me for sticking by such a weak player instead of rooting for big names such as Jaedong and Bisu. Ultimately, I saw his name so little I unsubscribed from VioletAK and stopped watching professional Brood War altogether.
After StarCraft 2 came out, I started watching more and more StarCraft 2. After trying to watch some Brood War again, I honestly felt like it was a lot boringer (I'm sorry if I offend anyone, don't derail this thread to this topic). And I have never watched it ever since. However, after I heard he had won an OSL in 2011, I instantly went to watch his games.
Almighty was back! When I watched his play vs Zero a few weeks ago, I seriously freaked out. Final four. Jangbi HAD to win this. He was 1 game away from losing but he just wouldn't die. When he won I screamed out loud in happiness. It turns out, the reason I loved Brood War so much, was Jangbi is just so damn entertaining. THAT is why Brood War seemed so boring when he was gone.
After Fantasy's 3-0 on Flash, I freaked out. How in the world would Jangbi do this? Greatest TvP in the world. Didn't drop a single game. All I could do was have faith that Jangbi wouldn't disappoint me. I bet for him on liquibet.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch the finals live (shoot me in the head please!). I set an alarm for 3 AM to watch the games, but... I didn't wake up. I'm sorry Jangbi. T___T
But I really want to congratulate Jangbi. He will always be my favorite player and I hope him a successful career in StarCraft 2.
I hope someone with an account on any korean torrent site would share the finals vod in the vod tracker. There have been always hq torrents for the osl and spl but it's just that no one updates the vod tracker anymore. I hope someone will for this one last time(and the last pl finals too). I'm pretty sure they included the pre and post game stuff there, I just can't download it because I don't have an account.
