Feels like the wins over fantasy in finals bring the protoss tears of joy, still remembering the epic stork vs. fantasy game with unscouted hidden base. EPIC.

Great write up. I remember seeing the ending video back when it was live, but with the translations and being able to understand everything it becomes more alive and meaningful. The game also shows how much I wish I could understand the koreans lol.

Still painful to see fantasy lose the way he did, floating 1.5k/1k. He really was flustered.

I absolutely just praise the amount of enthusiasm that the Korean commentator was able to radiate. Coupled with the ability of delivering top level analysis is one of the primary reason why I take in pride of this recreation.

Well, as we have all seen it's not missing from at least one modern day e-sport.

ive been following BW for 4 years and i just didn't get that excited about the finals. it starts first and foremost with the games. i didn't think the quality of games were finals-worthy. i know a lot of people talk about how epic game 5 was but i thought it was brutal play by fantasy instead of great play from both players. also that map was just terrible.

it's weird because i love jangbi and protoss is by far my favorite race. the games just didn't excite me. i'd much rather watch jaedong v flash for the umpteenth time because the quality of play is virtually guaranteed

Every Flash vs Jaedong encounter have been sub par to the actual hype. The only good game they have played against each other is the Power Outage one and the one on Rush Hour. Every other games are brutally one-sided.

WCG 2010 Jaedong v Flash had a lot of back and forth .... Totally recommended that you guys go watch that finals again . In my opinion the hype and the quality of games played in Jin Air was good and knowing that this maybe another legend of the fall only made the fight special . I think every osl is special, GGplay come back against Iris was so damn good, Jangbi clever abuse of 12 nexus for the second time was interesting and his carrier and unorthodox use of triple shuttle to harassed was really interesting .
