The wanted more control and profits over their game, and BW is no longer generating them profits given how much user control there is and how cheap the game has gotten. So KeSPA was forced to turn all the progamers to SCII. Which is ironic because it was user-created content that saved one of their main games- Warcraft III. It was the independent idea of enterprising Koreans to keep Starcraft alive and vigorously growing until the advent of SCII. Blizzard meets every definition of being an overly capitalistic, short-sighted, self-serving, ignorant, greedy enterprise. Too bad they are digging their own grave. SCII is relatively far less popular that SC, and LoL is now the more popular broadcast game. Hopefully once the capitalist society crumbles, we can get better video games =\ | ||

No clue on Bisu/Flash, but chances of Bisu being there should be extremely high considering it's his teammate playing and he most likely helped him prepare for the finals. I'm completely lost as to why Jaedong and Flash weren't on stage. Bisu never won an OSL though. All his golds came from MSL. So, I can understand why he wasn't up there. Then again, Yellow was there lololol Oh yeah, thought I did see jaedong. Hmm strange. I didn't consider maybe they only considered OSL legends instead of MSL or such. But I would think they would invite them either way. Maybe jaedong/elky/grrrr weren't there because the crowd was too big and they couldn't get to the front fast? ;D | ||

And Jaedong being left out for not being an OSL legend would make no sense at all. The guy has a golden mouse, and is 1 of 3 players(incl Jangbi) to have won back to back OSLs. | ||

Would have loved to see grrrr and elky up there ;; lol. If it was spontaneous I'm guessing they just asked for all progamers to come up, I don't think they announced names or anything before they came up. Also I forgot this but yellow was playing SC1 longer (around a year) than Boxer has, so i guess it makes sense yellow played better than boxer. (And of course boxer may not have been able to play/practice too well cus he didn't want to irritate his shoulder problem). | ||

That include his BO3 against Flash. If he had been playing autopilote mode macro games, he would have died to both Flash and Fantasy, every time. People have to understand that "cheese" is a part of Brood War. And for Christ sake, dt opening is not even a cheese. It's like, one of the main opening toss can chose at the beginning of the game. If, as a terran, you are dumb enough not to build detection at all, you deserve to lose. And if you don't smell anything fishy, maybe you should reconsider your scouting, or admit you got outsmarted. I seriously hate this bitter attitude. It's also the same people that complain that toss never win that get mad because a toss player choses to play something else than textbook blind macro bullshit (that incidentally happens to die to 200/200 3-3 terran balls microed by stellar S+ class players, for some unknown reason). And for people who say that this serie sucks because we didn't see maxed army clashing each other out of 75 gateways / factory, I would like to remind you that one of serie that really will stay in all our memories, one of the most unnforgettable moment in Brood War is Boxer bunker rushing Yellow three times in a row. That is history. /rant | ||

Its likely BW would have lasted longer if Blizzard never stepped in, but in all honesty it didn't look like it was going to last forever anyway. It would still have LoL, SC2, WC3, DotA2 and the all those new Korean based games to deal with anyway. Blizzard is an easy targe, but there were a number of issues that were not being addressed which contributed this. Also, they acknowledged Savior in the video? I thought he was stricken from the record and banished to outer rim. | ||

Not to mention  YellOw was on the stage for some reason. I think it was probably an impromptu kind of thing. | ||

I've seen so many early elevators and almost as many terran never being able to deffend against the build. Well, it was kind of anticlimatic at the end, but the serie was great. However, both semifinals were better IMO. Because when you have a wall, you don't build units. Fanta had like 3 marines and a tank, without a wall that's food for goons. | ||

Can you elaborate on why you think it's a problem that Jangbi won three games not in the way you think he was supposed to play? | ||
