All the Sc2 Kong candidates are recent enough to remember clearly, but it seems like Yellow being the first and most prominent Kong in Brood War might have overshadowed some other near-champions. Did all the other second place finishers either die out quickly leaving behind no legacy or instead go on to win championships and break the Kong curse?  Stork was a kong just fine, but he eventually broke through with an OSL win.Here's a couple interesting posts regarding Yellow's losses to Boxer from the BW subforum: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/461193-the-greatest-season-of-osl-msl-ever?page=3#58 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/461193-the-greatest-season-of-osl-msl-ever?page=4#61 (it's mostly about Boxer though) | ||

He won an OSL, but immediately afterwards he proceeded to secure more 2nd places. | ||

It's funny to think that those 3 players (Stork, Fantasy, Jangbi) only broke free of that line by playing each other in finals  And thanks for that great article, very well done. For me as a fan, Yellow winning Sneakers against Nada coming back from 1-2 down is still as good as winning an OSL | ||

I'm glad JaeDong wasn't one of the Kongs as he overcame it at the end of the year, making it a perfect finish. | ||
