And thus my heart is broken.......

It should not be forgotten though, that Xellos is an old school player in his own right....

Those tank drops in game 4 was vintage old-style play. Despite signaling midnight for Nal_Ra, I couldn't help it. Xellos is an old head too, and it brought a smile to my face.

Yeah, Ra is more like a Tesla anyways.

I heard from people that he's been partying hard a lot.
But Ra doesn't have to prove himself to me.
I still think he is without a doubt the Greatest Protoss to have ever graced Starcraft.

Edison was a jerkass, Tesla really should have popped a cap in his ass.

Edit: Glad to see an old-school (sorta) Terran winning. ^.^

I loved the read - your words really weighed heavily with nostaliga on my heart.
As much as I admire Bisu and admit his current dominance, there's a part of me who'd just love to see the old reign of rA reborn.

Once again, beautiful article, thank you ever so much for writing it!

extremely well written HonestTea, it just captured the situation the way it is. the new blood is making its way though and we all feel the pain of our idols losing to some no-namers...
