JangBi sees two off the all-time great TvP/PvT players set to battle for the final crown BW has to offer.Fantasy can emulate the best and the worst of BoxeR's legacy with each result, JangBi can give Samsung KHAN its first two time OSL champion or he can saddle them with another silver sorrow, Fantasy can become the best BW player in the last year of the game or JangBi can become the first Protoss to ever win back-to-back OSL golds.
Find out the historical and individual importance of this OSL final to the storyline of both players personal legacies, their teams's and their races.
Some quoted sections to whet your appetite for the whole article are included below.
Setting the scene:
The age of the gods is over and the age of men awaits. Those names which loomed large over the BW realm have fallen and the next age approaches, when they will be have to relinquish their heavenly gifts, forced to fight for a different currency of respect amongst men. Between those two ages though, the one ending and coming, lies the age of the demi-gods, those not quite transcendant and yet more than mere mortals. Two titans remain to write, between themselves, the ending of a rich and epicly told tale.
Once considered flawed gems of the Brood War scene both Fantasy and JangBi have more to gain from Saturday's result than a doubling of their golden haul. Whoever emerges the victory not only wins the final BW OSL, a statement in itsef, but also ensures his name is writ large upon the final act of the OSL.

Fantasy's currently written destiny:
Never outclassed, never dominated and never without his chances, Fantasy was simply unable to maintain composure in the one game that mattered most in three of his four chances at the OSL crown. The significance of that repeating career storyline should not be lost on viewers of the Tving OSL final. If Fantasy loses then he will have once more found himself stopped short of the ultimate goal at the final possible stage, once more made to stand in the background as another raises high the ultimate prize in BW.
Where JangBi might place in history:
Speaking of "The Dreamer" Nal_rA provides us with what could be a good reference point for JangBi's career. With Bisu holding the golden badge and clutching Proleague titles it's unlikely JangBi can be considered the greatest Protoss ever, but with a win tomorrow he can put himself up there with the other great Protoss players in his own unique distinction, with back-to-back titles, and in the modern age at that. Should he lose he will find himself in the title range of other Protoss who managed a single run to the top but fell short in their others: Reach, Stork and AnyTime.
