If only Bisu got that kind of support.

Hyuk and Soo got pretty far in the OSL and Bisu couldn't even beat Hyvaa in the offline prelims. SKT have the best training facilities and coaches of any team. Bisu's problems are not due to a lack of support from his team.

That's why when you know you're going to miss the live final you go straight to the small vod thread via bookmark/search bar/other source and don't read anything else

But it would still be nice if there wasn't a big spoiler poking you right in the eyes a day after the finals.


don't see how this is a spoiler, it could have applied to Fantasy too if he won

Hypothetically, yes. However, when was the last time you heard something like this come out of the loser's camp the day after the final? There you go.

I'm not complaining for myself since I saw the matches live, but a spoiler is a spoiler.

I honestly followed BW fairly regularly during my time in school(way too many 5am wakeups to watch leagues and vods). Once SC2 came out, I practically stopped watching BW in its entirety.

Now, I'm going to start watching again if the average game is of the same caliber.

Huge difference between what Khan did and stuff you said. Yeah, players generally share strategies within the team. But keep in mind that this was in the offseason, the players prepped for a map that doesn't appear in the PL(Pathfinder), the players emulated particular players(Soo, Flash, Fantasy), and came up with builds that counter said players.

I do think KT and SKT1 do similar stuff as they have tons of money. But I'm not sure about other teams. I remember a long time ago in the OSL semi-final between Stork and Best, Best practiced with all his protoss teammates, while Stork practiced with tosses from all the other teams, and even used BOs that came from non-teammates.

Really think if you cared about spoilers you would just try to avoid tl until you watched the series. No matter how well the mods take care of it you'll always be in danger of being spoiled. Its just the whole nature of a site dedicated to following progaming.

i don't know what fucking place people are living in if they consider september in the northern hemisphere summer.

Autumn is one of the four temperate seasons. Autumn marks the transition from summer into winter usually in September (Northern Hemisphere) or March (Southern Hemisphere) when the arrival of night becomes noticeably earlier.

Calm down. No one is forcing you to follow it. Its just a story line/tradition that's been with osl for a while.

Plus even though fall technically starts on the 23rd in Korea its near the end of summer/beginning of fall.

Starts on the 22nd of September, at the equinox.

Technically we are in summer for 5 more days.

This whole superstitious thing is not necessary, but that's just my opinion. And what, when Nal'Ra won it it was what, legend of the winter?

This. It's close enough to the fall to be part of the tradition, stop ragging on it.

Wow, that's quite good support for Jangbi.

26 days he had to exclusively prep against Flash with his entire team.

That's what it takes to take down an injured Flash..

That's actually true, the thread where I assume baubo got this from has no source, but the picture of January has a big DES tag.

So here is a complete translation:

[image loading]

When Jangbi became the sole protoss representative in the Ro8, January took special care of him. During the off-season, she ordered the whole team to engage in preparations for the OSL.

When the playoffs for Proleague ended, she let the whole team go on holidays first. When the Ro16 started, the whole team helpen Stork and Jangbi prepare. January used the OSL map pool the do ranking matches in the team. Because the playoffs had ended, she stopped practice on the Proleague maps and let the whole team practice on OSL maps exclusively.

When Stork got eliminated, she let (4 korean names) emulate Flash to practice with Jangbi, and in the Semis she let the whole zerg line do the same. Jangbi had a good understanding of all 4 maps used, so the practice went very well.

During Korean thanksgiving, the whole team volunteered to help Jangbi, besides the terrans, Stork, grape and brave developed strategies for all starting positions on each map. Because of this meticulous training, Jangbi was able to make the Legend of the Fall come true.

January said: Jangbi's OSL win cannot just be explained by the legend or some curse (T/N: Kim Carrier predicted fantasy to win). It is because of his practice and efforts. I hope this championship and bring new life into eSports.

Baubo: have you been able to find the Stork interview where he thanks all those protosses? I remember finding it really funny, and I wanted to find it again, but no amount of search fu could dig it up. It wasn't really worth starting a thread over, but since you're a translator, I was wondering if you had any tips... Thanks a lot.
May the BeSt man win.

By the way I'm so impressed with Jangbi, January, and the whole of Khan --- no wonder Jangbi was so confident. He must have been ready for anything.

But... but... Kim Carrier Curse! OSL curse! uh... Kong line destiny! um... Protoss salvation!
You don't honestly think that the victor is determined by preparation, maps, coaching, condition, and other tangible factors do you? What kind of BW fan are you?

Well by.Great lost to Hydra in the MSL final because January didn't know HOW to train him. And Stork embarrassed himself to Fantasy. January must be scratching her head and then came up with an individual league plan for her players. Honestly still loling that the team didn't know how to prepare for Great's MSL run.

This is the sort of team dedication that's needed for such a huge win, and it just goes to show that if you work hard you will reap the fruits of your success. Grats to JangBi for his victory!
