Honestly I'm hoping for mini/fantasy final. 'Cuz even though the '10-'11 season was fantastic, I don't really remember the rise of any new names (Except maybe soulkey rising to dominance in that season). The best you got was people like bogus/hydra rising up to the tip top, but they weren't newish talent.

Then SK Planet season 1 had the rise of dear, shy, mini, turn (I guess turn was pretty good in '10-'11 as well though), and last (though he played plenty in '10-'11, he lost mainly). That's what brood war needed to me, as I still loved the game but was getting tired of the same LeeSsangRok dominance in 2010 and the like. Fresh blood to rise to start challenging TBLS + fantasy on a consistent basis (not like a best vs t briefly or something like that). Maybe I didn't pay attention to the newer blood in the '10-'11 season, but for the first time in a while I actually am getting hyped about the future of some of these players the way I did when I decided to root for fantasy in 2008. Some of their more creative/baller play (shy starting june 2011 with his baller 4 shuttle play on icarus vs iris, hallucinated recall vs sea), mini's shuttle + reavers recently, turn's aggression and bio build vs stats, last playing solid--even beating fantasy!--but also mixing in solid/pretty damn smart cheese vs baby, and dear being generally good and of course raping flash (analyzing to the point of predicting how flash would scan front of his natural with vulture timing).

they'll never get the chance to really rise. At least not what I think they had the potential to (well, I think turn may have been stuck for any individual leagues as people would predict him, but then again kwanro made a finals). But the new blood deserves a run deep into the OSL, even if it costs the storyline of a resurgent jangbi or something. Because BW was not getting stale, it was growing even more as it always had. It wasn't stuck in just TBLS+fantasy, it had new young players ready to carry the torch for years.

Mini for going to the finals.

I couldn't sleep thinking about how this was the last OSL and all, woke up, read these interviews and now I'm even more depressed. I just can't believe it's coming to an end.

JangBi, ZerO, Fantasy, Flash for Ro4, then finals between either Flash and JangBi or Fantasy and JangBi for an epic finish.

JangBi for 2nd gold. Please.

Zero vs Flash in Grand Finals? Last time that happened, Zero got his ass handed to him 3-0. Though it would be cool to see Zero make finals again.
