For the Starleague prelims thrice per annum we meet, Half go on to the Starleagues; half drop in defeat. They who win in the spotlight shall battle-skills hone. We who lose fade away. We are many, alone.
Like a racehorse, too old for the victories sweet Growing slow, turning weak, ever more obsolete, Newbies fresh out of school, those who once held the throne, The rejected, the losers, the many, alone.
Some will quit, and reality they shall embrace And go work in an office and drink into daze, Slaving just for a paycheck, at home just to moan, Mediocre, generic, and many - alone.
If depression doesn't set into game-hardened brain, I can see: in the future, more Starleagues remain. With more practice, I'll micro, I'll maynard each drone, And defeat my opponents, the many alone.
From mass solitude each of us aims to ascend And to prove oneself better than foe and than friend, Shred the league, as a wolf rips the flesh from a bone And I'll stand at the summit, completely alone.
These are the faces and reactions of everyone that did not advance in the Dual and Survivor qualification tournaments after the Daum OSL and GomTV2 MSL.
Features the same song used in the closing ceremonies of Shinhan Masters.
It's a long wait until the next Dual and Survivor. Here's to hoping all our favorites make it the next time around.
Miscellaneous notes: - Couldn't find one of Nal_rA, the small vods cut off. - Darkelf makes a losing face and reaction when he wins. - Lucifer has the happiest win reaction ever. - Saddest face nominees: Luxury, TT, Junwi, and Free.
Players included in the video (by appearance) OSL Dual: oov, luxury, reach, casy, backho, fbh, shark, zergboy, yooi, free, sea
yes, that was the aim of the video, to get a little bit of sympathy to those that didn't make it in
i was going to make a second one of the qualifiers, but its hard to find clips of them actually looking happy after qualifying. lucifer looks happy, so does jaedong... but everyone else just looks relieved.
like an "omg i am alive" face after like a week of straight practicing for it
It's always sad watching players lose once you know how hard it is in the progaming world. Sometimes a good player will just slightly miss the OSL, then fade from the dual league, and then just disappear from the starleagues altogether. It's so hard to get back up after that. I'd really like to see Junwi in an OSL again.
although, Hwasin should also be in it, he also has the saddest loss reactions too. His eyes glitters...but Reach at the last 10 seconds... And Stork should be in it, I know you guys have seen his reaction after losing from Bisu in the MSL...

he has glasses (those square, black ones) and hes got the Hanbit shirt on (K-SWISS) at 2:28.
It was a bummer seeing Junwi lose and then his expression after, Hot Bid is right, he probably wanted it bad. He used to be a feared and good Zerg, now cant even qualify. So sad. Seeing Free's expression also hits hard.
