Yep.

This new generation doesn't realize how fortunate they are. Boxer has said repeatedly that they don't realize that all of these institutions and team dynamics which are currently in place didn't exist when he first started and that they're extremely lucky.

No kidding, we are constantly reaping the benefits of not just the great game but the great players who made the game beyond great, more to the legend it is now. I mean hell, are there any other countries that could claim to have almost their entire population (if not THE entire population) follow one sport, one game so closely? And not only that, but to have players constantly trying to find ways to make themselves faster, to be better, to find new strategies. I honestly believe that if it wasn't for all the progamers and all the fans, we would not even be playing the SC2 beta now. We probably wouldn't even have hope of a SC2... Storm Zerg was who inspired me to give Zerg another chance, I always just foolishly though that since they were the cheaper units they were therefore the weaker race. Now, I love Zerg, and would be hard pressed to choose any other race. (tried it once, unfortunately marines don't burrow, haha)

Loved the article, I am now saving this if I ever need an inspirational read. I can only hope that the love of the game continues into SC2, but if it doesn't, I can't help but think people will keep the SCBW tradition alive and kicking as long as the old battle.net continues to work. Still, I am loving SC2, and I can't wait to see some amazing matches in it as well!

The love story comes to a close.

Now that he's retired I think it would be apt to bump this. People need to know the Storm Zerg and how he was just as important as The Emperor for e-sports in South Korea. The Zerg with the greatest legacy, in my opinion (JD will likely go down as the best Zerg of all time, but greatness is not measured just by gold, but by blood, sweat, and tears, and no one spilled more than Hong Jin Ho).

EDIT: This was the first FE I read and the inspiration for all my dedication, passion, and love for BW.

It's hard to believe that he's finally gone... Now that I think about it, BW's just dropping like flies. Soon, Reach and AnyTime will retire and that'll be it for me. t__t
