I will be the one to say it but i watched every game (didn't pay) but it was Korean commentated on some Korean website my friend game me PM if you wanna watch the finals

edit: I think I was polluting this news thread with that part of my post.
I can blog this shit.

I think I know which you mean, I know about those. Thank you 
edit: TBH since Korean stream and VODs are for free I don't think there is any problem with posting info about http://www.wfbrood.com/movie/search.asp search for GSL

Get off your high horse -_-. They were known as cool and ITR, I don't see a problem if people refer to them as such. I highly doubt people will refer to Boxer as manofoneway. I'm starting to get really annoyed at people who are like "SC2 is not SC1, SC2>SC2" or "I don't want any connections with SC1." Clearly there's going to be some. Live with it.

Nice writeup and congrats again, Cool.
|
I never played online with sc1, but it was an eye opener to me on the level of play fruitdealer set out. I would love to see more people of his caliber play later on after the ranks and qualifications are set.

Bring the Hype, make SC2 history, thats what TL does.

Unfortunately your analogy does not make sense because a gamer's ID is largely determined by what the fans recognize him as, not what the progamer calls himself. It is not the same thing as a professional sports team moving cities. When proteams change their names (from KTF MagicNs to KT Rolster for example) the entire community calls them the updated name. But when a player selects an ID, it's a much more informal thing and the fans basically decide what to refer to them as.
Thus, you are free to call them whatever you wish, but to many here they will always be Cool, Rainbow, and Boxer. This will always be so in our news posts, in our official TLPD statistics database, and in our forum threads. Get used to it. Cool's main ID here might be interchangeable just because of how awesome "Fruit Dealer" is and how little he accomplished in BW, but Boxer and Rainbow will never be more known on TL than as their original IDs.
In the GSL2, there is no way I'm calling Nada "BnetLagNotKESPA" and July "XtraLargePizza" just because they decide they set those IDs.
