The guy crying is boxer. The guy patting his back is iloveoov. iloveoov was like MMA in that he was someone no one had heard of, and then boxer took him under his wing, but oov had far more success than MMA. When boxer decided to create his own progaming team, there were 4 players, Boxer (the best terran), one of the best zergs, one of the best protosses, and some kid no one had ever heard of named iloveoov. So, back in 2001, boxer won two OSLs in a row, and made the final of the next one. OGN decided that if someone (aka boxer) was to win three lifetime osls they would win an additional trophy, the golden mouse. He lost that third finals in 2001, then lost in 2002. Then came 2004, where boxer played his protoge oov in the finals. The five game series (it was a Bo5) is still one of the best osls ever, and oov won it 3-2. That show was immediately after, with boxer crying about getting so close to the golden mouse and missing out. Boxer only made it to the finals one other time, and would never win the trophy that was specifically made for him. edit: oops, the guy patting his back is the coach. The third guy is oov. Keep in mind that this is oov's first osl, and just won $40000, and he still looks so sad. | ||

The guy crying is BoxeR. Behind him is his protégé, iloveoov, who just beat him in the finals of the Starleague. Although he just won a Starleague, iloveoov feels really sad to have defeated his master. | ||

I can't imagine the pressure/desire/determination boxer must've been struggling with trying to win. | ||
