Thank you for the considerate bump; what a good read I would never have seen otherwise. If by chance someone knows, or honestTea lurks, can I be enlightened as to the identity of the first picture used? The one called OUM_absinthe.jpg? It's magical.

edit: thanks google. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Oliva.jpg

That article makes me realize something. In addition to the decline of players like Reach, Yellow, Savior, Nal_rA, oov, Boxer, Nada, GoRush, and July (although he came back), 2007 was also the year of Flash's amazing debut, and the rise of Bisu, Stork, and Jaedong from good players to S-class players. It was a "turnover year". After the same 4 players dominating in 2008 and 2009, it looks like 2010 might be another turnover year. While Flash, Stork, and to a lesser extent Jaedong are still dominating, who knows how things might be at the end of the year (and SC2 will obviously cause heavy turnover of the players at the top)

I remember this article, reading it again and seeing how it talks about savior as one of the top players, rather than one of the washed-ups, is quite bizarre :D

This is one of the best written things on all of TL. The only thing I find more touching than this is Day[9]'s Daily #100, but both are amazingly composed.

EDIT: I just read this:

It reminds me that someday, even Savior and Bisu will stop being bulletproof.

Looking back that's probably both the most ironic and saddest parts of this whole article.

[01:14] <@CSheep> only until midnight remains, to this day, the best piece of writing
[01:14] <@CSheep> on TL
[01:14] <@CSheep> at least in terms of emotional impact for me
[01:14] <@CSheep> i still go back and read it and tear up from time to time
