e스포츠 탄생 10주년을 결산하고 별중의 별을 가리는 ‘스타크래프트 헤리티지(HERITAGE)’의 경기일정이 모두 확정됐다.
e스타즈 서울 2009 행사에서 열리게 될 이번 ‘스타크래프트 헤리티지’는 대한민국 e스포츠 10년 역사 가운데 스타크래프트 리그에서 맹활약했던 최고의 스타플레이어들이 총출동한다.
지난 3월 24일 오세훈 서울특별시장의 추첨으로 완성된 조편성을 살펴보면 A조에는 ‘황제’ BoxeR(SK텔레콤)을 필두로 공군 에이스에서 맹활약하고 있는 ‘폭풍’ YellOw, ‘영웅’ Reach, ‘사신’ Anytime(이상 공군)과 e스포츠 유일의 여성 프로게이머 ‘여제’ ToSsGirL(STX)가 포진돼 있다. B조에는 ‘천재’ NaDa(위메이드), ‘괴물’ iloveoov(SK텔레콤 코치), ‘마에스트로’ sAviOr(CJ) 등 역대 본좌 가운데 3명이 포진해 있고, ‘몽상가’ Nal_rA(MBC게임 해설), ‘악마’ Kingdom(온게임넷 해설) 등 양대 방송국 해설위원이 같은 조에 편성되어 있다.
10명의 선수들은 5명씩 2개조로 조를 편성, 단판 풀리그로 순위를 가린 뒤 각조 1위와 2위가 크로스 토너먼트로 4강전 3전 2선승제 경기를 치르고 역시 3전 2선승제 결승전을 통해 최종 우승자를 가리게 된다.
e 스타즈 서울 홈페이지를 통해 공개된 대진표에 따르면 ‘스타크래프트 헤리티지’는 오는 13일 오후 2시 10강 B조 1경기 NaDa과 Nal_rA의 대결을 시작으로 14일, 20일, 21일 등 4일에 걸쳐 용산 e스포츠 상설경기장에서 격돌하고, 24일부터는 장소를 서울 무역전시컨벤션센터로 옮겨 26일까지 총 상금 4000만원을 놓고 치열한 대결을 펼치게 된다.
한편 e스타즈 서울 2009 ‘스타크래프트 헤리티지’는 온게임넷을 통해 전 경기가 생중계로 방송될 예정이며, 우승상금 가운데 1000만원은 일자리 창출을 위해 서울 복지재단 일자리 플러스센터에 기부한다.

They will compete for a total prize money of 40,000,0000 won. or about $40,000(u search google)
Oh neat, I thought this wouldn't be until the end of the month. Glad to hear some news about it. It's been a while since we've seen how Boxer's play is, I really hope he's had a lot of improvement and been practicing hard so he can come back and start winning again.
I'll be happy as long as Tossgirl doesn't beat anyone.
I dunno why Savior is there or Tossgirl. I know Savior is one of the alltime greats, but he's STILL great. All these other guys are super washed up O_O!
I hope Boxer vs. Tossgirl is gonna be full of luls, but Im still hella surprised no Xellos. I Savior might pretty much dominate and if they had July it'd be pretty much gg for everyone too.

How can you say NaDa and Anytime are washed up relative to Savior? NaDa's Lost Saga MSL performance put Savior's to shame, and Anytime's Proleague results are way more impressive than MJY's.
Hey op !? I understand TossGirl has no nickname, but Nal_rA is "the dreamer" !!!! please edit that horrible line : "Group B has Genius (T)NaDa, Monster (T)iloveoov, Maestro (Z)sAviOr, and (P)Nal_rA."
baller. can't believe JulyZerg is not in this.. what the buttfuck?! tossgurl and not golden mouse holder July?
Can some1 tell me what's the medal on top of those MSLs plz? is that:

Boxer was the first, getting a dropship badge in 2006. Bisu got a corsair; Stork a carrier; Jaedong a mutalisk; and Flash got a goliath. Savior has gotten a badge with his initials MJY on it. There are a lot of other players who have gotten badges from their fans like Nada but the article doesn't say which one he got.

I can't see it -.-
Anyone care to explain why two of Nada's MSL badges are silver and one is gold, when they all represent first place? ---- Now I remember, the golden badge is the MSL's golden mouse.
I'm really excited about this tournament --- I expect Savior to win it handily, and I hope those who are still progamers (Boxer, Anytime, Nada, Yellow) don't disappoint.
I'll be going to this for some of the days - I think it's a bit lame including Tossgirl over July or one of the other title holders, but it should be interesting to see the veteran pros going head to head anyway.

I'm excited to see how Boxer fairs His first big games since leaving Ace Gonna be great.
I think this whole thing is just awesome, especially for people who're new to the scene and never witnessed the legendary matches back in the day.
Don't follow your logic there.. It's much much more awesome for the old fans who DO remember all the old legendary players and matches. Of course.
Theres the nostalgia, the memories, the fan relationship. They finally get to see their old favorites playing against EACH OTHER for once.
For the new fans..well I can't even imagine what its like for them but I know its not as exciting

I never got to watch most of these progamers during their prime and I started following the progaming scene quite late. Regardless of this, I am really excited to see this event, precisely for the reason of being able to see these legends play against each other for myself.
EDIT: Anyway, I agree that Savior will most likely win this. He is one of few active progamers in this event and both Boxer and Nada are currently in a worse state then he is. Infact, out of all the participants, Savior is the only one among the top 30 in the ELO rankings. Plus, special events like this seem like Savior`s forte.
Can someone investigate why July is missing? He has more to show for his greatness then almost everyone else attending (being a golden mouse winner and all).
LOL YellOw photo Part of me wants BoxeR to win but the other half wants NaDa to win the whole thing and change his decision about retiring and whatnot -_-;
Didn't Artosis say in one of the scforall videos(or maybe on Twitter) that him and Tasteless would be casting e-stars? Is there any information on that and how to watch? Or is that more of an unofficial casting that they are doing on their own?
TossGirl totally stole XellOs' terran spot. I guess she is the legend of the female league but cmon. I think July is still doing too well to really be in this tourny so it's not so bad that he isn't involved. GoRush would definately fit in.
Why is Tossgirl a mere "hot female progamer"? Pay respect to the Empress! >=(
And I think there's 1 extra zero in the prize money figure. As it is, it would amount to $400k, not $40k.
Lastly, Tossgirl is a big part of the history of the professional StarCraft scene, and deserves her place more than anyone else (save for Boxer probably ) as she is the best female StarCraft player in the world.

Lol, I hope you saw that game he had her scouted perfectly and that Drone at the start was just unfair. After that when the camera showed her you could see her take a breath and roll her eyes lol. And i wonder why July wasnt included in this, probably because he would just rape everyone in here because he is still going strong... but savior is still decent.

It's not $400k definitely, that's ridiculous lol
Tossgirl will be remembered in history as the best female Starcraft progamer, but as a Progamer, she will probably go down as one of the worst.
No Proleague appearance for years (other than that one time against eSTRO), almost no success in individual leagues and her role being more of a icon and model for STX than a progamer.
