So July did outmacro BeSt.

Honestly, would it matter if July had beaten Best sauron style in game 3 or in a similar manner to game 1 and 2? Point is july is generally a low econ player, and his STYLE conclusivelly won him 2 games in the final of a recent starleague, going down the list of all other aggressive zergs and their wins at the highest level...macro is a very important part of sc and cant be entirely ignored, but low econ players shouldnt be dismissed as people going through a bag of tricks. Many respectable players use that style, and have won at the highest levels, and continue to do so. July didnt eve need to macro against best, he would of won either way. If people wanna bash shine, sure, just dont bash him because hes low econ. That really has no bearing on his potential.

going to have to agree with him.

he will fizzle out when he cant rely on his ZvP to carry him.

Can someone start a list of names of those who think Shine will just fizzle and fail out and a list of names for those Shine is legit and will get far? I just want to be able to point my fingers and laugh when the OSL is over.

Seriously, theres nothing better than reading these threads to hype up games :D problem is i can't make up my mind.... Shine Rising star or one hit wonder? one thing i do know is that after seeing jaedong vs flash i really don't think shine could bring anything at all to such a vs flash final....

Every game needs a villain. Even if you guys hate him, it's good for the sport.

Movie is good at analysing Z's and preparing a solid build to bust some weakness in that z's play. Other good Ps have lost because they didn't prepare for shine's aggressive style. I seriously doubt movie will make the same mistake, when he can just force a macro game and win.

No one's saying Shine didn't deserve his spot in the OSL. He fucking did. But so far he looks to be just another one-hit wonder until he proves the contrary.

I hate Shine. It is a shameless hatred. It is based on nothing solid. But I need something to make Starcraft interesting.

Personally, I will uphold my biased opinion that Shine will be this one hit wonderkid who makes far into the OSL, once, and then disappear from the world. Tons of players in the past did that. I am sure that he will be no different.

Oh, and I will definitely watch Flash v.s. Shine if it is the OSL final. I will love to watch him getting raped and send out of the league flying 0-3.

Only if his grandma isn't there...it would make hating him easier.

But feel free to prove me wrong.

I think Shine's secret is that his grandma curses the other player.

You talk as if being in the OSL semis means something. by.hero did it and now he's failing (I still think he can come back though, hero fighting!), type-b did it and we know where that's going. Yarnc made it to the finals, it still didn't mean anything.
