Dude, I went to the Gangnam Proleague studio for CJ v SKT this summer, and on the last night, the CJ bus was majorly delayed, and all the CJ guys were just standing around at the entrance to the studio (SKT bounced fast to go eat a celebratory dinner), so I picked up the courage to approach the guys and ask for a photo.
Earlier-on, seeing Canata's proud surprise to discover I'd come from Switzerland to watch Starcraft, and that I remembered him, I'd learned the value of convincing ex-BW pros of your fandom legacy, so I addressed Hydra as "you win MSL" and EffOrt as "OSL Champion, against Lee Yong Ho too".
Overall, I think the experience reminded him when he was on top of the world (though he was putting forward surprisingly good SC2 results, it wasn't enough), so Hydra but particularly EffOrt were BEAMING afterwards. Skyhigh was looking sullen as usual. So was BByong, since I'd asked him to sign my "BBoying has best dance-moves" cheerful (currently residing in an honourable stack in my room).

Just think that the burden of his mother's ill-health was probably already heavy on him (I'd suspect his first semi-retirement was caused by the same sort of reason). All the best to CJ, and these guys, man, for having hamstringed their lives and careers simply to entertain us, I really hope they can be compensated and cared for. And I REALLY need to get around to blogging the rest of this stuff...

Maybe what the bw section of tl really needs, and the sc2 section when it comes to that, is a dedicated bw vs sc2 thread, to contain all that kind of discussion. It is definitively a topic worthy of discussion in itself, but not every other topic should turn into it. So with a dedicated thread we got a place to discuss that, and even better, a place to send people when a threads goes off topic.

Or does that already exist?

I guess what TL needs is 2 seperate community pages (for BW and SC2). Like the ones they have for dota 2 and hearthstone. Although they are both called "Starcraft" they do not have much in common, which often leads to aggresive encounters between the 2 communities. I personally can not stand those SC2 guys talking about BW although they never played the game for real (some of them did not play the game at all).
