Edit: The further this gets separated from the blog that inspired it, the less some things make sense. Zona wrote a thing that I liked and I wrote a thing on the same subject. <3 Zona

Hydra will win this OSL. I may not have fancy historical comparisons with a past OSL on which I can use voodoo magic to determine the winner but I just know it. This is because he is quite resoundingly the most badass of the bunch. I would like to illustrate. In the following spoiler, I will show the OSL top 4 along with the first thought I can form upon looking at them.

Holy shit you can have my wallet, just dont kill me please.



If BeSt was choking a flamingo and fell into that machine from The Fly, I have little doubt it would come out like Fantasy. Though I have much love for Fantasy, I have my suspicions that Hydra doesn’t share my sentiments and is more than eager to go after his throat with a ruler (or the nylon lace of a fangirl’s panties would probably do just fine). Hydra will promptly snap Fantasy’s neck 3-1 with his (imo very under rated) fantastic ZvT.

Next Hydra comes up against the winner of Soo and Jangbi. Now I can’t say with any certainty how this will turn out, what I do know is this: Jangbi, please for the love of God do not let Soo into the finals of the OSL. Yes I understand there’s a tradition of mediocre zergs being in the OSL top 4 but as far as I know, none of them actually make it into the finals (except Yarnc in the Bacchus 2009 OSL but he beat the equally-unspectacular Type-B in the semis to get there). If Jangbi, who was one of my very first favourite players in the whole wide world, is the one to break this trend, I will be very upset.

Still, you can look at Jangbi’s face and see he’s not prepared to go against the concentrated ass-kickery that is Hydra. Jangbi’s grandmother is actually the happiest grandmother in the world because she gets his exclusive cheek-pinching rights. I remember I once witnessed a conversation between her and Mark Zuckerberg’s grandmother that went a little bit like this:

MZ’s Grandma: My grandson invented facebook and is a billionaire!
J’s Grandma: My grandson looks like this *pulls out picture of Jangbi* and I can pinch those cheeks all day if I want, while your grandson looks like an anorexic Seth Rogan.
MZ’s Grandma: Well, Mark could probably buy you--
*Hydra descends from the roof and chloroforms them both*


Even though Jangbi is a personal favourite of mine and he is absolutely adorable (+ so many silvers and no golds + I think he would be oldest OSL winner etc etc..), Hydra is quite frankly too baller and frightening. I remember the first time I saw Hydra, only at the time I didn’t know who he was as he was just some guy on the bench who nobody really cared about. I dont know what game this was so I cant go back and verify but I’m almost certain he had vampire fangs (real of course), a cape, and half a deer in his hands. For these reasons, Hydra will win the OSL!

+ Show Spoiler [Dear Zona] +
I liked your writeup, please dont take this as a jab or anything. =)

Also I wanted to write something about the OSL or Hydra in particular so this gave me a good opportunity.


Bye!

Edit: Fixed images, I posted in a rush so I could be beside Zona in the sidebar.

Hydra will win if he beats Fantasy, but Jangbi will win if Fantasy somehow sneaks through with creative mech play

Yeah as many <3s as I have for Jangbi, I feel like Fantasy vs Hydra is the real finals (though Jangbi could totally beat Fantasy, I think we all know who he wants to win).

Do you think anyone would notice if I bumped my own thing because I posted it at a time where nobody reads it to line it up with Zona's?

Yes, I am very ashamed.

Haha, yeah, Hydra's TLPD picture looks fucking brutal. I cracked up at the comment under his picture.

I think the winner of Hydra/Fantasy will probably take the OSL, but deep down inside me, my old school fanboy is rooting for Jangbi.

....basically I'm happy as long as n.die_soo doesn't win the OSL.

I think anyone rooting for Jangbi is rooting for Fantasy. I'm not convinced Jangbi has any chance in hell against Hydra but anyone who takes down Flash cant be discounted against Fantasy.

This reminds me of the first starleague I ever watched beginning to end, the Lost Saga MSL. Luxury and Jangbi were my very first favourites and I was so happy they both made it to the finals. I ended up cheering for Luxury and he won it but had I know more about Jangbi's history with silver I might have hoped differently. It's kinda like that again where Jangbi and Hydra are pretty much my favourite players but this time I'm kinda pulling for Jangbi.

"Déjà FUCK YOU"

So you like underdogs? That's cool. I was gonna said "and edgy" but that would be too much.

Yes, the title made more sense with with the thread it was based on (which is why I linked it in the first bloody sentence). I didnt expect this to get bumped days after its relevance expired and it was devoid of all context.

Also nice catch that I like to cheer for the underdog, like nobody else does. I wouldn't possibly like Hydra because he plays my favourite race, is on my favourite team, and has a playstyle I enjoy. That would be stupid.

More confusing than anything else, however, is why you would PM me just to inform me you wrote this? If it was a big + Show Spoiler [OSL spoilers] +
"haw haw" thing about how Hydra lost
I could at least understand but as it stands, I just dont get it.
