3 consecutive WCG championships? Starcraft WC3 and..?


WCG is the Olympics of eSports. On top of individual medals per competition, there is a total medal tally for each nation. At the end of each WCG the nation with the most medals is crowned the champion of WCG.

aha, didn't know they had an overall winner for WCG. Makes more sense now.

I'd personally like to see the more positive things ranked higher.

In my opinion, someone dominating the scene like (T)Flash has in this day and (T)BoxeR/(T)NaDa switching to sc2 and the GSL are all way more important than the IP rights arguments, estro disbanding and the match fixing scandal.

This too, I actually forgot about this but a player like (Z)EffOrt retiring in his prime is huge indeed.
In order to move forward, we must rid ourselves of that which holds us back. Check out my stream and give me tips! twitch.tv/intotheskyy

Flash already said he'd be playing Brood War for another five years at least. So unless Blizzard has something to say about it pro Brood War isn't going away anytime soon.

Wow matchfixing scandal #1. That left a huge stain on esports indeed.

By the way I love this picture of Flash.

Any idea what effort and forgg are doing? Retiring at their prime smells like SC2, cause to moe over you have to "retire"..they could of course retire to go finish school/military but retiring so fast after winning an OSL.


As for the ranking it does make sense, stuff ranked higher is stuff that will impact eSports in the future, Boxer switching made people watch SC2 and possibly pave the way for future switch overs, the suits with Blizzard/MBC will show if BW will continue or not, and match fixing is just a huge event.

Yes, the match-fixing scandal was very damaging to eSports.

However, I think it also showed that eSports is a big business, subject to the same kind of greed and corruption seen in other industries.

effort is studying to apply for univ(I think he wrote this himself on his cyworld?)

forGG seems to have some sort of personal problem or crisis? since it was so sudden and he's retiring in the middle of the leagues which will probably cause legal problems, it's got to be something deeper than "quiting to study" or "quitting since I'm sick of BW."

I think Effort retired to spend more time with his GF?

I've said this before but I think Coach Cho (CJ) was focusing too much on sniping and not enough on training solid, well-rounded players towards the end of his career.

That said, he was still much, much better than Kim Dong Woo.

That the match fixing scandal is top 1 is a good thing, such things must not be forgotten, in such a young scene as e-sports, such a thing could have ended it as a whole, hopefully it won't happen ever again.

I expected one to be the Boxer vs. Nada match rather than just Boxer switching over, but I guess it's still pretty similar.

okay so after researching topic_id=154362came up with this. It is hard to tell, if he left because he didn't like how his salary problems and went to switch over to SC2 (GSL prise pool is insane), or just switched to a new career altogether, there is always a hope he was amassing zerg and losing him from the eSports scene be it BW or SC2 is bad.
