i still think his win against flash was kindava fluke. It's not so much flash played bad or effort played good, but I think flash is just reallly sensitive to his physical environment (the whole ruler, tape, pocari sweat ritual he does) and when the electronics went out it totally got him flustered.

I feel bad because Effort is going usurp Hydra as ace.

Why?

Because Hawkeye>Cyclops.

EFFFOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Omfg my favorite Zerg player. JD is dominant but EffOrt's playing style is pure sex. Loved him ever since I saw that tiebreaker match in the EVER 09 OSL against fantasy. Gogogo I want to see more macro plays in the future!

IMHO Effort is like (ZerO + Hydra) / 2, he has the good sides of both of them (smart builds and powerful standard), it sure can raise the zerg chances to win a Starleague.

Really? In EVERY thread now? I really hate SC2..

Effort's return will be pretty cool to see, but I have to agree with the opinion that his victory vs Flash was pretty inexplicable. Flash just fell to pieces, wasn't himself at all. Still, Effort is a top player, gonna be great seeing him back.

Effort! The only problem is that CJ can (seemingly) only have 1 super gosu zerg at a time so it might destroy my current favourite player Hydra. :/

Hopefully they can co-exist!

Glad to see Effort coming back, completely forgot that was finally happening now. I recall reading stuff from CJ players saying back in like may that he is already as good as he was when he quit, so hopefully he will kick some ass again. Big fan of Effort, he is one of my favorite zergs.

Also awesome Husky video (haven't watched that since it was announced that Effort would return) reminded me of the other song changed to be about effort, which is also awesome.

Never seen anything special in his play. Always thought his OSL win was a big luck. Jaedong has far better chances to beat Flash in bo5, only if he could get past his zvz. But, well - that's just me.

Though Effort does seem to have enough trickery and skill to be among the top players.
I am sure Effort will not rise again to his peak level, it would be very naive to hope so. Being absent for so much time and returning to the level , when you can kill Flash in a box is unreachablethese days .
However, I really want this to happen, cause I wholeheartedly oppose any kind of domination. And I really want a new messiah, any of a sort.I don't think it will be Effort, no. I hope there is a player out there, who has the desire and skill to be the best.

CJ players claim that Effort wins a lot in house tournaments. Will he reach his peak is hard to say, but he will certainly be best CJ player in near future.

CJ will be pretty menacing now. Just remains to be seen where the star players of the teams that are disbanding will go, that can make or break certain teams pretty hard depending where they go.

I think we should keep in mind that he didn't take THAT long of a break, and has been playing with the team for quite some time this season throughout the time he's been off the lineup due to his break. I'm pretty sure he's already back in form if not close...Him and Hydra will be true double dragons.

Effort fan signing in here.

People unfamiliar with Effort should really check out jalstar's tribute to effort, compiling some of Effort's most brilliant games. http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=163927

It's definitely worth every bit of your time.

Also, Effort's ZvZ is sex. Here's my favourite ZvZ game featuring him

He pulled this off. In an important playoff match too. What a baller.

Don't even need to mention his ZvT; despite his controversial series win over Flash he's definitely shown himself to be able to take Flash head on straight up, AND win.

And well, he had better ZvP than JD.

He's just amazing.

Welcome back Effort. Make your stay in S-class longer this time.

I think he is CJ's best player. You will see that I am right when he is sent out as CJ's ace in proleague. He also boasts a decent CJ face, although not as good as mOvie's.

hehe, It must be absolutely painful to watch those last three games, as a Flash supporter, but as a non-partisan viewer with the full expectation of a complete stomp given the first two games, I can only say that those last three games were definitely watched with an open mouth.

Um, no dude he doesn't throw games away for money and isn't washed up. Effort is in a whole different playing field when it comes to zerg play compared to savior. He was considered top zerg for awhile before he retired and now he's back. ^^

No - Coach Cho is not returning. It's just Effort.

As has been said above - BW could use some good news. A new team would hype things through the roof

He's not even that good. He won one OSL and had some solid but unspectacular performances a couple years ago. I suppose one would be excited if one was a CJ fan but it's kinda sad/desperate to have a countdown for him. Sorry CJ fans.

A still-not-yet-in-form Effort is still scary, but I believe he'll be back in top-notch form.

Effort did far more than "just" win an OSL - he had by far the best ZvP at the time, had a terrifying streak as his team's ace player, and was the first Zerg to beat Jaedong in a Bo3. Hell, before his slump he had 60%+ in every matchup. Hardly "unspectacular."

And for the record, it has only been a little over a year since he retired.

I shall never forget the day where I started appreciating a certain race called zerg.

I have never played zerg in my life, and most likely, never will. Though I love how zerg can spit out massive units in few seconds, I was always overwhelmed by the amazing spell casters of protoss units and amazing defense by terran units. Never liked zerg, never will. That's what I thought.

Korean Air Season 1 Finals arrive, and I tell myself 'Flash has this easy'. To be honest, I expected Effort to make it to finals from Semis, 3-2'ing Kal on the way. Though the 3-0 was impressive, I never expected what would happen next.

I wake up in the Saturday morning, getting ready to go to my volunteer service. I turn on the laptop to check the score, and I see 2-0 Flash. Nothing unusual, Flash was going to get his golden mouse. Or so I thought.

4 Hours later, at Math team, I approach my friends and ask them: "Well, did Flash sweep the series?".

Friends: "No"

I was disappointed for a second.

Me: "Then what was the score?"

Friends: "3-2"

Me: "Oh, a close one. I saw 2-0 as I walked out the door this morning, I thought Flash would win easily. Props to Eff..."

Friends: "Alex, Effort came back and won"

That moment, I flipped over from my chair. How the FUCK can you come back from 2-0 in the finals to win against not only the best Terran in the world, but the best player?

As soon as I got home, I watched all the games in the series: How Effort almost had game 1, how Effort was about to go home crying, then just coming back into the series out of nowhere by brilliant plays, especially set 4.

I still don't like zerg, and mostly likely, I never will. But I will always appreciate how Effort came back from the series, reverse sweeping Flash to win his first OSL title. I will always appreciate how Effort showed the endless limit for a race called zerg, at a time where one certain Terran was sweeping the whole competition.

Messiah, welcome back.

Never seen anything special in his play. Always thought his OSL win was a big luck. Jaedong has far better chances to beat Flash in bo5, only if he could get past his zvz. But, well - that's just me.

He didn't just come back from retirement, he's been at the practice house for a while now, you know practicing. And last time I asked in an LR thread people were saying he's still in form

Plus I would like another potential candidate to give Flash a run for his money haha

Excerpt from the Prophecies of The Bloodline-

He lay waste to the Golden Kingdom there upon the final field of battle. As his vain and sure foe lay gasping out the last of his bloodied breaths, the sureness in his form, swaddled in billowing black, he spoke to the assembled, "And with this victory I take my leave, I go West."

And for a thousand fortnights there he would dwell, in the spaces that abound in between the mortal places until once more his foe would rise once again.

Then would his hand grasp for his mighty sword, and in a terrible wrath he would come forth yet again to do battle with Gods. The last of that noble race of men. The Messiah would return to slay our Gods and recall to the world the power of The Bloodline...

Excerpt from the Prophecies of The Bloodline-

He lay waste to the Golden Kingdom there upon the final field of battle. As his vain and sure foe lay gasping out the last of his bloodied breaths, the sureness in his form, swaddled in billowing black, he spoke to the assembled, "And with this victory I take my leave, I go West."

And for a thousand fortnights there he would dwell, in the spaces that abound in between the mortal places until once more his foe would rise once again.

Then would his hand grasp for his mighty sword, and in a terrible wrath he would come forth yet again to do battle with Gods. The last of that noble race of men. The Messiah would return to slay our Gods and recall to the world the power of The Bloodline...

well he hasn't gone into surgery yet, and flash isn't known as the Messiah :S
Efforts first game better be of pure dominance and nothing less, otherwise it'll be anticlimatic (for me anyway)


efforts just came back from retirement you can't expect him to pull a s class game right away dont you ? but than again lets see how things will turn out .

Which would also be silly to call a fluke considering how JD has been demolishing Flash recently...

I just made that shit up on the spot man xD I love CJ and write excessively elaborate posts occasionally creating myths out of CJ and her members, my bad.

TaekBangLeeSaang are the Gods, Flash is the foe, and OSL was the "Final Field of Battle".

Obviously Effort is the Messiah, and the Bloodlines refers to the continuation of the Savior lineage through Effort.

In any case, I hope you liked the post. Pure, unadulterated fanboyism. And to answer your question, Title: Random post, Author: Kimaker.

Effort is really something special. The way he rose. The way he immediately left after beating flash.
I hope he can make something happen.

CJ is going to have the #1 seed in proleague with Effort there. Whether they win or not is up to a single Bo7.

I expect him to be a 2 or 3 time champion before he retires or BW declines.

efforts playing ability at 6 months ago was at the level of the b-teamer's when he announced he was returning. it's been while and he has had plenty of time to prepare, but the one concrete fact is that he was no where near his former condition six months ago. will six months of preparation be enough? it's hard to imagine him just returning and immediately becoming an ace zerg again without having returned to the pressure of live matches.

This thread is making me realize my favorite team may be CJ...

Bisu, BeSt and Fantasy are the only players I care about on SkT. Even with Frotoss and Rain coming up strong, I even skipped over S2 and Soo's matches in the finals this year.

CJ's lineup is deep and I love every single one of the players.
Movie? FUCK YES REAVERS! I really wish you had gotten more than one game off Flash when you had the chance buddy. That arbiter play was sick in that win though. Props for that.
Leta? Two port, two port, two port. SOOO cute!
Hydra? Watching him eat JD alive last year was the best match I have ever seen in Starcraft.
Horang2? Easily one of my favorites. 40 million gates? Check. Awesome interviews? Check.
SkyHigh? Honestly, I know you're awesome. I just haven't watched the games...but you're growing on me after I saw you try so hard against Flash.
Snow? Dude...when you held the line with those reavers against Jaedong...good lord I came.
and now?
...
Effort? AWWWWW SHIT IT'S ON BITCHES!!!!

I dunno.. He's a good player, but he's been declining for a while before he decided to retire. They say he's top ranking in the teamhouse practices, but that doesn't always result in success in the televised games.
I expect him to be at the level of Hydra or less, I doubt he has a good chance against Flash.
So I'm not expecting him to become the next zerg king, and Hydra will probably stay as CJ's ace.

I will be satisfied if Effort upon his return still show S-class games, and do all the bad thing associated with rabid fans if he can consistently take down Flash.

Here ya go. Even though i am a huge SKT1 fanboy i have to admit that watching this game I was extremely entertained by this ZvZ and by Effort's play. I dont play ZvZ in BW so I'm not sure or not if this was a very good game technically however I found it a must watch for Effort besides his OSL win

dont u remember the massive technical issues at Korean Air OSL? And yeah, the jaedong/flash nate msl is another example of his extra-sensitivity to surroundings.

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Effort

In September 2010, Effort announced his retirement, citing that he had achieved his goal as a progamer (to win a Starleague) and was seeking new challenges in life.

On March 21, 3:52 AM (KST), Hite Entus tweeted: "'Effort(Jungwoo Kim/Zerg)' is coming back! He will rejoin us from today and practice until he gets his pro-gamer license back on Aug 31st Plz cheer him up! Thank you!!!!!"

while his reverse sweep of flash was great, we should not forget that he had been flashs practice partner for quite some months going into this finals, as flash was practicing with effort to shape up for what was considered his main rival back at the time, jaedong.

we should keep in mind that there are always serious mindgames and trickery going on between practice partners. and we also shouldnt forget how flash basically threw away game 4 by going for a super risky all-in strat.

anyway, efforts return is a great thing for the scene. hope he gets back in form quickly.

Haha, don't sweat it man, Flash has nothing more to prove to anyone ever how good he is. Don't need to justify him not having 7 or 8 titles.

Effort vs Flash @ FS

Quite a few vods posted, but didn't see this one. One of my favourite games, it has it all: backstory, mindfuck, the underdog raping face. Brood war at its best.

It feels like there's a lot of KT fans in here. I would chalk it up to the whole Effort/Flash thing but a lot (if not most) of them seem to like Effort. :O

KT is a pretty close second favourite team for me so now I'm wondering if there's some connection between the two that I can't think of. :/

It's a play off of his name and the fact he was the next big zerg to come out of CJ after Savior

Good to see him coming back, with jd's recently subpar ZvZ and his largely untested ZvP i can at least hope to see effort raping face again. still hope to see jd buck up though(i dont like hydra)

if modesty can make Ro8 and Ro4 almost solely off the strength of his ZvZ, and if n.Die_Soo can make it to the Ro4, Effort has as good a chance as anyone to make another final

I don't know if you guys knew before hand but Effort is returning October when new Proleague/OSL starts.

Also, I can't say anything in particular, but I've heard from fomos boards that Effort's been playing well.

Yeah from sources I do not remember (*unsuspicious cough cough*) Effort "officially" retired October 6th last year so the earliest he can be re-registered is October 7th this year. This will probably not affect his comeback too much, since SPL and OSL are projected to start October (after the sorting out the complications right now).

Seconding what SNM said, because I think I saw it somewhere but again don't remember exactly where, Effort is said to be top-calibre right now in practice, and is expected to return in excellent shape.

Schedule and names of players. They had an intra-team warm-up match on the new maps. Players were split into 2 teams, Proleague style.

Snow vs "don't know"
Leta vs Effort

Food5 vs Movie
Bbyong vs Skyhigh
Cola vs Where
"don't know this match up."

Don't worry, every time I hear about him, I hear that he's consistently on top of the intra-team rankings. I can't wait until he plays his first official game in over a year.

Effort looks happy in those pictures, which is good to see.

A bit off topic, but while we're on CJ, Cloud left CJ in August. His dad passed away suddenly in July so Cloud decided to take over his dad's struggling restaurant. It's quite sad. But Cloud says he will return one day when the restaurant is doing better, because esports is his life.

Game 1 PL finals 11-12: Flash destroys effort in a macrofest where Flash mechs after 14CC.
Game 7 PL finals 11-12: Effort does a 4pool and catches flash doing 14CC. Flash Floats all buliding while pulling all scvs to efforts main. Snipes all the drones but loses all scvs. Flash is left with 8 minerals. Effort has 8 minerals. Flash laughs in all chat, and is forced to forfeit.

I only got into BW this year, after Eff0rt's high point. I hear the guy was quite good

edit: Just watched some of his games. He is amazing to watch! if JD's style can be likened to punching the other guy in the face till he goes down, then Effort is the guy who goes straight for the throat and groin. No mercy!

CJ definitely feels so different. They used rely much more on matchup and player sniping. Dunno if it has to do with coach cho or Effort leaving. Definitely less to do with Sparkies merging imo. CJ felt so weak in the playoffs : \

BRING BACK ALL THE CLUTCH!!! and take a series against SKT/KT :D

One of my favourite fails. kekeke
