it's a very nice article, great job riptide

the article kinda makes me depressed though. It's basically how Boxer (aka GOD OF STARCRAFT) founded a team that became the best and then they became one of the richest teams in the league and just bought good players when boxer left and still failed and then boxer came back and they became great again. It's very hard to sympathize with a team that's pretty much always had it all (not that it clearly wasn't tough for them before they became SKT T1, but many other teams had it just as hard if not moreso).

fantasy is almost doomed to never be a true hero of Starcraft. He wasn't Jaedong who came from a last place team and helped bring them to the top, or flash who became the one shining hope of his team after many of the past greats (Ra/Yellow/Reach) couldn't cut it any more. Instead he came from a team that purchased arguably the best coach in the league and the greatest protoss player of all time and then also came to fruition with teammate Best to help carry the team to 1st, and even then couldn't manage to do it thoroughly until Boxer came back.

I would really love to see a team that has never won a Proleague before win next season, like estro or STX. Although I guess technically STX has won the STX cup (although the format is kinda rigged). So go eSTRO for SPL 09-10 champions!

if Boxer had stayed, and not taken intotherainbow (who I also like) away with him, OZ wouldn't be so poor, and history of the team leagues would be totally different. I can't feel "happy" for T1 crushing a poorer team they stole players from. Jaedong + friends got all the way to the finals without Boxer & co's help only to get smashed by a team with better resources (coaches, sponsor, players)... imagine if Boxer had been loyal like Jaedong has been?

this is all silly of course; it's just entertainment. but it's half-serious... real life has a storyline as well

p.s. good job and well-written, riptide
