- New Air Force ACErs
- Oops! MST Moment
- Incruit OSL Theme: Be The Legend!
New to Air Force ACE squad
Mantoss Reach, legend of fall Anytime, and Neo-Emperor Casy have all passed rigorous the Air Force ACE qualification process and will be playing for them beginning this upcoming season.
Air Force ACE squad began recruiting last July and finally announced the new players on 22th of August.
From July 1st to 15th, Air Force ACE team accepted applications after announcing they were looking for new recruits. Out of 10 applicants, Reach, Anytime, Casy, IntotheRainbow, and Cloud passed the first round of qualification and went through additional qualifying test on July 24th.
Reach, Anytime, and Casy will begin their official army training on September 22nd and will start playing for the Air Force team in November.
Best of luck to them!
WAHHHHHHH
During the broadcast of 15th MSL Survivor Tournament, a rather suggestive commercial caught the eyes of its viewers. Since many, many young teenagers watch the Survivor Tournament, several complaints protesting the MBC's decision to air that commercial were made.
The commercial was to promote one of MBC's programs called "Real Meeting." Even adult viewers said that the commercial was inappropriate. It consisted of young adults, both men and women dressed in skimpy clothes, licking each others' bodies.
(What the hell?)
It seems that MBC Game has recently been airing a lot more commercials featuring things other than games, including sitcoms and dramas. Of course, that's not necessarily bad. Showing commercials like "Real Meeting," however, does cause problems considering majority of MBC Game viewers are teenagers. It hurts the image of the channel and the game itself. A person on Fomos commented he was indeed shocked and his parents were truly concerned.
What would parents who were watching the channel with their kids think? Would they look at the gaming channel with a new perspective? It's undeniable that airing those commercials negatively affects the reputation of e-Sports and MBC Game.
It seems MBC really should reconsider the possible consequences. Nobody is saying that the channel should be hundred percent all about gaming. But they do need be more careful with the message those commercials might send, how they would affect the viewers, and their unavoidable effects on e-Sports and StarCraft itself.
Badass Much?
Boxer 'the Emperor'
NaDa 'Genius Terran'
iloveoov 'Cheater Terran'
sAviOr 'Ma Bonjwa'
Those four are without a doubt the most well-known and praised progamers of all time. Each boasting several titles in both OSL and MSL, they are often referred as "bonjwas." And guess what? They are the theme of Incruit OSL 08!
The Lim-Lee-Choi-Ma lineup of StarCraft legends will be featured in the Incruit RO16 Opening, as well as Reach and Anytime. The title fits perfectly: "Be The Legend!" As the StarLeague progresses, the openings will start featuring more and more current OSL players instead of the legends.
Protoss legends of fall (Reach, Anytime) and the 4 bonjwas secretly finished filming the openings in early August. So yeah, put your homework aside, grab some energy drinks, stay up and tune in to watch the players try to become the next legend.

You know I saw the Incruit opening and kept thinking there was a helluva lot of Reach. His total frame time is probably more than the other five put together.
Sexy sexy Reach made it!
Poor Rainbow, though. I would have liked to see him.

|
IntoTheRainbow?
Didn't he say in an interview, he hates playing the game now?
|
Good write-up, thanks for the news post. =O
|
nice, and with the new 1v1 format we will see the triple sexiness of boxer, reach, and anytime every game now!

Casy unsuccessful in Wemade? Oh man I hope he doesn't retire after the mandatory military time.....
Fuck my life.
edit: meh, at least he will actually get to play.
|
who were the other ones trying out for ace? did it include yellow?
|
I must say that I didn't notice boxer in the incruit opening, which seemed very weird and inappropriate.
But if he's there for the ro16 opening I guess we'll have to wait. Or, I'm just blind and kept staring at mantoss' manliness and missed him or something...
|
So Yellow didnt get in? Does this mean we will see Reach 1v1 again?

LOL that final image is so fucking ironic
|
uhm, newb question.
Why is Anytime and Reach called the "Legends of Fall"?
Thanks.
|
Can someone enlarge the last picture? That shit is wallpaper worthy.
and Anytime and Reach were called legends of the fall cause they always caused a upset during the season Fall.

I remember Reaching beating BoxeR 3-1.
Then Anytime denied us to another BoxeR Oov finals that would have given a second sure Golden Mouse.

has to do with protoss winning osls quite a bit in the fall. garimto, reach and anytime are the main people recognized for this.
|
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssss!!!!
Finally Oh Yoon Joon will get to play in Proleague again. I hate Lecaf's coach for denying us Anytime's sexyness during the best part of last season. Even if he obviously wasn't playing at his best level.
I believe Air Force can do fairly good next PL season. Their line-up is now quite scary.

lol I post this in every thread - the "Legend" intro is sick, but it was so much better before they added 10x the screaming to it.

From OSL FAQ
What is the Legend of the Fall?
The Legend of the Fall is a belief that a Protoss player will win the OSL in the Fall. This Legend started in SKY 2001 where Garimto defeated Boxer in the fall, stopping Boxer from winning three back to back OSLs. This curse was perpetuated the following fall in SKY 2002 where Reach defeated Boxer once again in the Fall.
|
Wallpaper size of the last pic...please..*drool*
|
Those four could never win a game again and they would still strike me with awe.
I think I will have their statues made and placed in the courtyard of my mansion.
Then again I am not that rich and have no mansion.
Action figures?
|
who were the players that didnt make it in ace?
|
i know cloud wasnt one of them but thatd be awsome
|
legend??
NAL_RA !!! please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
It's really cool to see  BoxeR and  sAviOr, but why not Nal_rA? 
|
gl Casy
3 Terrans, 1 Zerg and 0 Protoss in the theme of Incruit OSL 08... it should be more balanced XD
|
Yey Anytime!!! defenitely a big boost for ACE since he is still playing really well
|
Does this mean that oov is playing again? 
|

I think he will tryout in the next period of recruitment. That's what I remember reading in the article about the ACE tryouts at least...

So killing other races/armies in video games is good, but nudity is bad?
I should make a note of this, being a parent and all.
p.s. Nice airforce team

They play better in the fall season and then fail everywhere else... Consistently. I think Anytime has like a 20% win/loss ratio improvement in official games and has made it to semis/finals in the fall.

Thanks for the news

Nice to be reminded of oov.
The worse his game became, the more disinterested I got in starcraft.
|
I'd love to see the full commercial

^ Lol, screams for wallpaper.

Yellow and Boxer are rivals but they also have a lot of respect for each other and have been on the same team before...

A KTF shirt with a puma logo, did you guys have any of those?
|
Hopefully Airforce ACE might do a little better with players like this. If only Casy can kill Zergs like he used to.
|
as if parents in korea didn't have enough reasons to keep kids from watching e-sports...
i think something like that real meeting commercial is extremely inappropriate... considering the culture in korea...

Eeh... No july in the opening? God of war doesnt deserve it? One time osl winners weight more than golden mouse?! :'(

Wait up, I know its kinda hurting but these players aside from savior aren't one time osl winners..
BoxeR is the only progamer ever to walk his royal road AND win back to back OSLs and made a finals appearance for the next 2 finals (losing to Garminto and Reach). He also made 7 OSL final appearances. He also won 2 back to back WCG Finals. They also didn't name his the Emperor for nothing.
NaDa, first Golden Mouse winner and almost did a BoxeR but sAviOr was just unstoppable. He won 3 back to back MSL golds and 3 MSL silvers, if he wears all his medals, I bet he'll look like a General or something.
Oov, macro revolutionist, cheater terran. The LR's would usually go like "Oov massing army", "Oov getting owned", "Oov won". He can macro units back like they were there, he also won 3 back to back MSLs after NaDa and he won 2 OSL tittles, making him one of 5 progamers ever to win 2 OSLs.
sAviOr is just maestro. Sure he only won one OSL and lost to Bisu 3-0, but what makes him different from July is his dominance. sAviOr was unrivaled back then. Yellow had his BoxeR, July had his Oov to deal with, sAviOr had no one in his prime. sAviOr had a legendary 93% winning percentage when he was in his prime. His games sense was also unmatchable, his maphack overlord going the right direction most of the time.
But its kinda unfair not to have nal_rA with the Legends of Fall, his tactics are just timeless.

Yeah.. I'm hurt that rA isn't up there
|
I wonder what Reach is going to look like with short hair.

Kang Min who ? What about the most successful man in the OSL , the five times OSL finalist , 3 times OSL winner and the holder of the second ever golden mouse and the reigning OSL champion . The God Of War not having legend status is already fucking surprising , but not geting his face in the intro of his reigning OSL now that is so wrong it actually hurts to be his fan . After all those bad asses - Boxer , Nada , iloveoov and Savior they should have put July there as the King . The guy who rules them all now with this OSL title the Sauron zerg himself should be at least in the intro . If you ask me he should be above the legends as dominatening the new blood once again

Boxer made only 6 OSL final appearances.

To be honest, I'm more excited about that OSL intro than the actual games.
