      There is a legend that tells of a man named Kim Carrier. They say that his predictions are like anti-matter. The opposite of what he thinks will happen will always occur. That legend is falsehood.
      The real legend revolves around your grumpy uncle Chef. You see, ever since I was a little boy, any sports star I grew attached to would inevitably crash and burn.
      Savior, Flash, Jaedong and Bisu have all fallen to the Chef curse. In JvF finals my favouritism has swayed like the wind, alternating each match, and always victimizing the loser. When I begun liking Bisu, his slump grew steeper. When I forgot about him, he showed some promise of climbing back. Then I liked him again, and he fell back into obscurity. Now I am jealous of him because a girl says how handsome he is, and he is doing extremely well. The Chef curse is infallible.
      Kim Carrier is a front. A facade. He is not the real curse. I stuck with Savior till the bitter end and that is why his career turned into such ashes and shame. I haven't liked another player passionately enough, long enough, for that to happen again.

      This weekend Zero and Flash are playing, so you must be wondering to yourself: who is cursed this finals? Maybe you see similarities between this finals and Bisu vs Savior finals. The bonjwa vs a mortal. Yet there is doubt. Flash's injured wrist makes him seem more palpable. My long time following of Zero and adoration of his play also affects me. I like Flash a lot, but do I like him more? Who is cursed? Who?
      The man who is cursed this final is in the spoiler below. I've spoilered it for several reasons. I want the final to be worth watching for you. I don't want you to know who wins (or is that loses?). For those of you who are willing to have the finals spoiled, click the spoiler below.

Will he do the kwanro build?
Nice Kwanro picture. :D
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

Unlikely. Flash lost to Effort because of me, which proves the power of the curse. Movie lost to Flash when I wanted movie to win. No matter what, I always cheer for the player who ends up losing, at least in finals.

In all these years, I've never bothered with that lol.. (check my stats) So I'm going to vote on my first bet. The bet is not so much on a player, but on that the curse ends here. *pushes that little link called liquibets.

Maybe if you don't watch, the curse is not so powerful
Have you tried just not watching finals?

Chef, I want you to pretend that Shuttle banged your mom and stole your girlfriend.

I want you to pretend he was everything that you could never be. I want you to hate him so bad that he comments on some negative energy coming from Canada towards him.


SHUTTLE WILL BE THE NEXT BONJWA

Flash didn't lose to Effort because of you.

Effort beat Flash because of me.

From the TL Finals Preview for this OSL:

WaxAngel: Flash wins 3-0
Kwark: Flash wins 3-0
l10f: Flash wins 3-2
flamewheel91: Flash wins 3-1
pangshai: Flash wins 3-2
heyoka: Flash wins 3-2
GTR: Flash wins 3-2
Nazgul: Flash wins 3-0
Emlary: Flash wins 3-0
Hot_Bid: Effort wins 3-1


And it really should've been 3-1 not 3-2 if they didn't rob Effort of game 1 with that horrible disc.

here is how we settle this. You both put down your predictions in this blog, and the person who is closest gets to make the loser do something humiliating. They not only do you get the satisfaction of being the curse bringer / breaker, you also get to make Chef/Hot_bid do something embarrassing.

If I bet on my curse to work, then I might end up cheering for the player who I didn't originally want to win (so I can win the bet), creating a paradox and making your conditions ineffective.

so much for that. As a Canadian, who would you bet for to win game7 of the Stanley Cup? Just curious oh cursed one?
