Yarnc made it to the finals, it still didn't mean anything. Do you somehow consider "good players" to only consist of like the top 4 in the world or something? Being in the OSL semis DOES mean something. It means he's had to prepare effectively for 3 bo3's, which means the opponent is going to be preparing hard for that too. It's not just "one proleague game," it's a game with huge implications considering that it's a starleague with thousands in prize money. If there's ANYTHING that means something, it's how someone does in the OSL or the MSL. Especially if you consider that one of those bo3's was against Bisu, and then another one was against Stork. He also played against Fantasy and Effort and won both of those. While you can criticize his late game play and what-not, saying being in the OSL semis means nothing is unthoughtful :\ | ||

Also, saying that July outmacroed Best in the third set is misleading. It was July's gamesense and his opponent's psychological disadvantage that allowed July to do as he pleased with the map. It wasn't July's incredible macro ability that put him in the lead in that game. It was pure gamesense and experience. Once you have a huge lead and can expand at will, being able to outmacro your opponent is not significant, it is expected. | ||

then drop off into nothing. Look at ForGG, Mind, Much, Luxury, GGPlay, and lots of others. They all have starleague wins. After they won, they started sucking, and never really recovered. I'm not saying "shine is gay cheesy fag noob", but "Shine can be the next Jaedong" is stupid. Don't forget, type-b got to the semifinals last OSL. | ||

If I missed something here, that Shine came up with an innovative/creative play, feel free to correct me.

That being said, MOVIE, DESTROY THIS MOTHERFUCKER! I totally disagree with your first point, but I wholeheartedly agree with your redeeming second point.  Edit: I think hatred is just a part of the entertainment. It is what makes sports interesting. I tried pretty hard to hate Jaedong, but the kid is too likable to hate. I have found my new target. I will not loose my grip on it. | ||

Actually I was there when he eliminated Bisu and I saw so many girls crying haha. Anyways, at this point I really think he's a one-matchup sniper and will fall pretty quickly when the other two get put to the test. Yeah I agree with this. Reminds me a lot of by.Hero | ||

If Shine goes some 2-hatch build all-in, you all yell, "Ahh can't even play straight up! Boo!" Seriously. Fuck you little haters. | ||

People have just decided to hate him and will justify it however they can. The fact is that his ZvP is fucking solid and that's all we've basically seen out of him. He will do well against Movie. | ||

Also, he reminds of July, in that he seems "big" and plays zerg. | ||

A lot of people are saying that Shine is incapable of macroing, but I think his strategies are just more aggression-based like July's strategies. Ever since Savior, we haven't really had a non-management Zerg style come to the forefront. We've seen a bit of it with Kwanro who is not terribly successful with it. We've seen Jaedong take a handful of games with super-aggression, but this is more Jaedong than Zerg in general. Shine just represents an aggressive mindset. This may be suboptimal or weak compared to the macro game, but it sure as hell works for him - especially in this macro-heavy environment. Also, saying that July outmacroed Best in the third set is misleading. It was July's gamesense and his opponent's psychological disadvantage that allowed July to do as he pleased with the map. It wasn't July's incredible macro ability that put him in the lead in that game. It was pure gamesense and experience. Once you have a huge lead and can expand at will, being able to outmacro your opponent is not significant, it is expected. Haven't there actually been more aggressive Zergs recently? There's Kwanro, Luxury, JD, yarnc, calm? It's easier for me to play aggressively and end the game quick than dragging it out, especially with T and P han bang armies that are such a pain in the ass to kill. And I don't really see anything wrong with Shine lol. I love Effort and Stork but Shine's gotta win too. | ||

I think I would place Shine above Kwanro, above below Calm. But I am no doubt going to watch Movie vs Shine. Thats going to be epic. GL to both | ||
