I was wondering about the upcoming semifinal in the Msl. One thing that bothers me is that both Jangbi and Stork are in the same team.

So I was wondering, do these two still practice with each other for their upcoming match? If they did, wouldn't they know what the other one would do in map whether it be a specific BO or specific strategy?

Also, has there been any progamer drama where one teammate wins over his teammate?

I'd like to know this, thanks!

sAviOr vs Iris in shinhan 3

one of the best series out there imo...

anyways

IMO it wouldnt really matter whether they practice with each other or not for this MSL

because they would know each other so well being teammates/practice partners

Not the first time Stork has had to play a teammate, there was Stork vs. FBH during Gom MSL S... 2 or 3? the one with Stork Bisu finals and the FBH/Savior dance.

A while ago, Stork actually picked Jangbi for his EVER 08 OSL group. I don't think we ever got an answer as to why he'd pick his own teammate, but I regarded it as justice when he was knocked out of the OSL by jangbi. There was also the boxer-oov finals, maybe you've heard of that one

. And Jaedong-ForGG MSL finals. And Jaedong vs Lomo in GOM S1. Bisu vs Best and Hwasin vs by.hero in the current OSL ro8. Jangbi beat Frozean on the way to beat stork. There are certainly more, I just can't think of them right now.

Jangbi took out Frozen ealier this MSL, Frozen being his teammate. As jangbi said in the winner's interview, practicing wasn't easy. They basically go train in other areas of the house and try not to let the other one see their strats.

I persoanlly like inter team matches very well, since they usually give out very good games. As called earlier, savior vs irisin shinhan 3 if i'm not mistaken was one of the best series I've seen. Just about anything can happen.

Inter-team matches are excellent, because each player knows the other so intimately. They are always so well prepared. Some of the best matches/games came out of inter-team.

Iris/sAviOr in shinhan
BoxeR/oov on RoV
Jaedong/Lomo on Katrina SE

etc.

I think he made mistakes that he know he shouldn't have done. He wrote in his biography something like "my greatest enemy is myself".

He was probably sad for not getting the Golden Mouse too.

I always feel bad for him, like I feel that such an influential player should have won the highest trophy. He's gotten 4 silvers at an OSL, almost as many silvers as Stork.

Bisu and Best are also playing each other in the OSL, I think they said they did practice together for it at least a bit. Apparently Bisu "only knows the feeling after victory and not the feeling after defeat"

Here's how the series is going to go, pantomimed:

Stork "Oh Jangbi you are the best and so pretty I love you!!!!!!"

Jangbi "KILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

stork is still favorite for me even if jangbi is wining 2/3 of practice games. Stork will show why he is top protoss for so long time

One thing you know about team mate vs team mate is that they don't cheese.

July vs Pusan from Shinhanbank 2005 OSL were also between two team-mates. July wrapped it up in about 25 minutes. Then he made a speech afterwards where he said he was sad he had to knock out his team-mate, and that everyone should applaud Pusan for his perfomance in the league so far, and cheer for him in the 3rd/4th place match vs Casy.

The match was highly anticipated because Pusan had boasted a high winning percentage in PvZ matches in practice. Up until that point Pusans PvZ hadnt been tested against high calibur zergs in BO3/5s, so there was much excitement to see if he was as good as he said.

As shown from interviews, stork seems to really respect/fear jangbi so jangbi's got him beat psychologically and I think jangbi is just a better pvp'er than stork at the moment just because he's aggressive and really solid mechanically... go jangbi

I think Stork is going to win both SL's.
