Someone like fantasy, who came second in his very OSL after 3-0ing Bisu, who took Jaedong the distance when everybody and their mamas were predicting 3-0, who beat Jaedong twice in the PL finals, who took flash the distance when Flash was ~4000 KeSPA, who thrashed Stork after some 85% of TLers predicted a stork win, who lost rather poorly to the pinnacle of PvT, and beat Flash 4-0, would fit a little better. /rant But it would be wrong of me to say Jangbi didn't deserve it. He did. He completely outclassed Fantasy in that last final.

But I think in the long run I think the storylines that will be remembered are Jangbi back to back, Fanta losing again, and the Zero Jangbi, specifically game 4 and Carriers speech/breakdown in that. What I mean by this is exemplified by the guy who got confused about Boxer Yellow. The storyline of the 3x bunker is what remains. Boxer didnt even win that OSL - oov did. Yellow didnt even get top 3 that OSL. So I doubt that this series will actually be remembered as a pretty strong stomp by Jangbi. For baseball a lot of people remember the Res Sox being the first to come back against a 3-0 series defecit, specifically against their rival Yankee, to beat their curse and finally win a title. That they actually won the World Series against the Cardinals (I think? see?) is less important. For the Red Sox the World Series seemed like a mere formality though, and although Jangbi was riding his own comeback, Fantasy did have the perfect OSL going in his favor. This is actually quite funny: I have watched nukethestars quite a lot and he always refers to Stork vs Bisu @ Clubday as the best PvP bo5 of all time. Instinctively, I just assumed that it was the final. I feel like a tard: Bisu vs Stork in a completely different Starleague | ||

Stork holds that title forever, sorry, his carrier build was like unsolveable in PvT on the map pool in 2009-2010 till flash figured it out with a fast armory build. | ||

Overall there hasn't been as much young, new talent coming in that could rise to the top. It's been the same guys contesting for titles for a long long time, when you compare to how it was before - I guess that was one symptom of BW's end long before it actually happened. | ||

Even though I rooted for Fantasy, Jangbi is much better in SC2 and is one of the most impressive players overall. It will be good for the game and the leagues if Jangbi can do well. But, now Blizzard wants to take away the Carrier T_T. | ||

Stork vs Fantasy on Dreamliner is an example of Carriers to win the game. and Stork vs Flash in that 3rd place match. Jangbi vs Fantasy w/carriers is having an advantage and showboating. Except for that 5set which Fantasy threw away like a noob. | ||

Q: How do you feel about the last BW OSL? A: I also was asked this before, BW gave me a dream, it gave me a meaning to exist, its end is very regretful to me. Sad :[. Honestly I felt like the games could have been a little bit better but Jangbi played too well while Fantasy messed up just a tiny bit more than usual. | ||

That was his "go out with a bang." Jangbi got silver after losing to a guy who threw matches, got silver in the ClubDay MSL when people always remember Stork vs Bisu, had epic storms against Nada, and recovered from being a Pae-Wang. Someone like fantasy, who came second in his very OSL after 3-0ing Bisu, who took Jaedong the distance when everybody and their mamas were predicting 3-0, who beat Jaedong twice in the PL finals, who took flash the distance when Flash was ~4000 KeSPA, who thrashed Stork after some 85% of TLers predicted a stork win, who lost rather poorly to the pinnacle of PvT, and beat Flash 4-0, would fit a little better. But it would be wrong of me to say Jangbi didn't deserve it. He did. He completely outclassed Fantasy in that last final. I dont think that at all, Jangbi has the biggest wining streak, has legendary storms, have beated the best players Flash and Fantasy in Jin Air OSL when Flash was better at BW, and beat them in 2012 OSL again. On the other hand, protoss has win the first OSL and its really fitting to win the last to end the saga in an epic way, plus no protoss have ever defended his title. So i can say Congrats to Jangbi for ending the era this way, well deserved, best of luck in the future! | ||

Except for that 5set which Fantasy threw away like a noob. lol w/o even watching the game i gotta say that map was MADE for air play (mutas / carriers / waiths / drops).. its even shaped like a plane. My point is using that as an example of a good use of carriers is a little misleading cause the map is sooo bad due to the close by air mains. | ||
