Great article, almost made me shed some tears for rA.

I have to say I share your pain. Ra was so close to win in the lasts MSL's, but always lost when I had the feeling he'll win. It would be really if he'd beat sAviOr in the final and finish the Holy War once and for all. But it's only a dream, to good to be real...

Someone should forward this to Ra, maybe gave him that extra little boost.

Great article. I really like how you pointed out that rA had what it took from the beginning to stay at the top of the game for a long time.

However, I think that BoxeR was also in a position to stay at the top of the game. He didn't do much in starleagues in his last year before the army, but seriously, he has been constantly in the highlight reel. He just had (and probably still has) a competitive drive that no other progamer has ever possessed. If he didn't join the army, I think he would be in a similar position as Nal_rA. He's the oldest player in the Proleague, and I think he has every intention of coming back after his duty and regaining his former position. He won't become as dominant as he once was, but I think he will continue to make an impact.

I really hope rA wins his Bo5 and makes it to the semis; while I do want to see a bisu v savior rematch in the finals, I also want to see the last standing vet make some noise.

Dude great article, omg I could relate to his article so much. I was talking about this with sohee_pink on msn while watching Nada lose 2 games in a row. I seriously felt a lilttle discomfort inside of me and like you said you had to walk outside and look at the sky. I went outside and smoked a cigarrete to relax my body because I couldnt understand how the fuck Boxer lost to magma, Nada keeps losing and lost to magma today also, and Reach and yellow and Iloveoov and just omg I cant keep on going. All those names represent SC for me seriously... wtf is going on ? Dude I was watching Boxer's game vs Piano there was a part of a FPVOD from boxer ... dude seriously he was playing slower and sloppier than me and I thought What the fucking crap? Is this really happening?

As I write this Nal_ra is playing Xellos on blue storm and failed to cheese... come back Nal_ra pls!
