When I think of unsung heroes I think zero, OP is spot on when he mentions zeroes late game management, it's insane and something very special to behold. The trouble is getting there The other really big unsung hero in my books is iris. In his prime he was overshadowed by his fellow team mate Savior, but you have to remember, some of savior's greatest games were against Iris and it takes 2 to tango. Someone should write a blog about unsung BW heroes, totally awesome blog topic!

I'm so sad that Zero lost. those matches could have gone either way, but I feel that Zero sure is the better player. right behind Flash and Fantasy.

Who will I say good-bye to tomorrow?

This is what I am thinking about too. Seriously, I don't think I will get much sleep tonight because of the game. I hope Fantasy will take it.

To ZerO, queen of the zerg. He may not be Flash or Bisu but he will be remembered.
As will all of those who played with heart and played well, but never got to dominate.

So here are all the zero fans. The other 101% of people are jangbi fans.

+ Show Spoiler +
I think it's better that he lose in a close 2-3 here than in a 0-3 because of his choking nature

The issue is that everybody is in awe of ZerO's lategame...but he actually really really sucks in a legitimate late-lategame situation unless he has already crippled the opponent in the mid- to lategame. smh ZerO why did you drag it out...

Fantasy deserves to win it all tbh, for too long he has been considered something that he's not, a progamer below the great ones, with that said, I hope flash takes it :O.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

I was cheering for jangbi to win because I didn't think zero had what it would take to be able to put up a good showing vs flash or fantasy in the final (his zvt has looked sketchy for almost a year now). But I will definitely miss him as a player. But at least we got to know him through the years and see his play and be inspired by it and learn to love him. it sucks so much more when thinking about players like mini or turn who we barely got to know and now will never get to see them grow as BW players :\

Yep, when he was on his game, he was the greatest zerg player that every played Brood War IMO.
The original Bogus fan.

It was indeed a sad moment to see ZerO begin to fall apart in game 4 and 5 of that series, I was so hoping he could end his BW career with a much deserved OSL win. One of my favorite zergs.
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

Became a Zero fan ever since he trashed (P)Kal on Holy World in the OSL.<3 Much love

He has brilliant ZvP and TvZ. He always attempts to capture the fan's excitement & passion when preparing for for games by using never seen strategies ( v (P)Bisu Queen play on HB). He has the capabilities to take out anybody in an ace match. Lastly, its hard not like his childish demeneor and appearance.

Damn Ro16 luck and ZvZ

I was hoping for Jangbi to win vs Zero but deep down I was very worried. Zero is a fantastic player, how he owned Kal was just incredible. I cannot imagine the pressure and nerves he had in the final game 5, he looked lost and his timings were off.

It could very well have gone either way. Really sad that this is the last OSL.
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

I had a gut-wrenching feeling when they put the camera on ZerO after that 5th game. He wanted it so bad but he let it slip away from him. I hope he can come back in SC2 and crush some face
