If you saw the OSL Finals, you know what I'm talking about. There was a postcard next to the player with this very same message on it.

---

Flash played well the first 2 games, then for whatever reason decided to wing it, underestimating his opponent. A lot of people said that Effort didn't really do anything amazingly special to win the series, he just took advantage of the mistakes that Flash made.

That might be true, but it's also true that he was investing effort in the games. After Flash won the first 2 games he went into EZPZ mode, and hoped that Effort wouldn't pick up on his lackadaisical attitude which manifested itself in his gameplay. But Effort did just that: he didn't break down after trailing 0-2 against arguably the best player Starcraft BW has ever witnessed.

He believed in himself, and most of all he believed in the power of hard work and never giving up. He believed in (Z)EffOrt.

KIM JUNG WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Although I disagree with the whole "Flash decided to wing it" comment, if anything Effort was the one winging it.

Talent vs Effort MSL final.

I would root for Talent since I like sleeping late.

What if you put all your efforts, time and make huge sacrifices towards something that ends up failing, simply because you just... Can't do it. What happens then ?

(Z)EffOrt wins with Effort. Observing (P)Movie win is like watching a Movie. Spectating (T)Rush gives you that great Rush of feeling. (Z)Hydra wins by truly understanding the ways of Hydra. (T)Iris's play is so epic that it can cause Iris of the spectators to twitch in its pure awesomeness. You are guaranteed to feel sKyHigh after watching good game from (T)sKyHigh. (P)Snow justs freezes his opponent cold in his tracks like a Snow. (Z)Orion's play is just as majestic as Orion in clear night sky.

Ideas do propose fairly good Ideas about players of CJ team in his post though xD
