EVERY SINGLE game in the Bacchus OSL was dog shit awful (save Bisu vs Flash). Has there even been such a terrible OSL? They had to remove a map, there were several oddball first-time players who played like shit, and STORK LOST AGAIN jkglsafjklsagjlkasfjlsak. God i have such sick OSL rage. I PRAY TO GOD the OSL has better games in the future -_- | ||

everyone remembers Anytime > Boxer 3-2 dramatic series. Everyone remembers Xellos > Yellow 3-2. No one remembers any of the games from Nada vs July 3-0 or any other 3-0 (except for Bisu > Savior 3-0 because that was the sickest upset of all time) jfklsjglkasfjlksgjklasf i'm still SO annoyed that every fucking game blew such insane ass | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/snowbird/flashhigh.jpg) Flash is a monster and he deservedly crushed Stork 3-0. The games were weak because Stork was no match for Flash. I have to agree that the overall quality of this OSL was pretty weak | ||

A part of me was 'WTF ???" while the other part that was hating flash since he cheesed the shit out of bisu last OSL just went berserk. That's not the way you play an OSL final, that not the way you win it. I wanted atleast 1 30-40 mins long game . | ||

Nada vs Savior - Pretty good final, game 1 was intense, scanner break at game 3 was amazing. Iris vs GGPlay - Intense game 5, Interesting games, incredible play by GGPlay in last 3 games. Stork vs Jaedong - game 1 was awful, game 2 is really flashy (EE HAN TIMING), 3-4 was total rape. Stork vs Nada - Total dog rape shit. | ||

This OSL blew ass cause Jaedong got eliminated early. Had it been Jaedong vs bisu at the semis and perhaps a rematch of stork vs Bisu..then maybe. Better yet, if Best beat Stork on better positions. Damn. | ||

The games aren't shitty at all. Flash is a level above EVERYONE just like in the Boxer era. He didnt even use his dominating fast cc fast armory upgrade turtle build to win. | ||

Yes, the OSL was utterly boring and anticlimactic. Yes, the MSL wasn't all that great itself, but comparatively it was by far the better league this time around. I don't want to go too far with this statement, but it's just true that some players, good or bad, make games more interesting than others. Boxer vs Ra is never a bad game. Both players are brilliant, and even when they're not on top of the SC world they still put out more entertaining games than most. | ||

I think Jaedong is the equal of Flash (their games are always very even) while Bisu still has what it takes to defeat either (even though he recently lost to both). I always felt Flash was on another level than Stork, but since everyone was saying Stork should win I came to assume I was wrong. It seems that facts prove that Stork simply isn’t a champion. Unless he just can’t take the pressure of a Grand Final… which is the same. | ||

in the aftermath interview, poor stork cried T.T he said he let his fans down. he practice hard but didnt get a chance to pull off his strats. i feel bad for him. on the bright side, i just earned myself 8 liquid bet points. ^^ | ||

Hell, the previous MSL (GOM S3) was better than the previous OSL (EVER). I mean, my god, i cannot think of a SINGLE intense/good quality game played in the entire OSL. Maybe some of the tiebreakers were good, but other than this.... every game just disappointed the shit out of me. The first sign for me was when Yarnc somehow lost to Frozean on demon's forest after both players played like crap. Savior vs Jaedong was decent... were there any other good games of note? | ||

Worst OSL I've seen so far, in terms of entertainment and game quality, but one of the most satisfying for my personal taste, because Flash seems promising. W/e, we'll just wait for next season I guess | ||

From the Interview thread: You went with a bunker rush after proxy barrcks on the 2nd match. What is the reason you did this? You were a game ahead? did you try it on a whim? If not did You make arrangements beforehand? I have made arrangements beforehand you have seen all strategy today. I expected Stork rise to the bait for my psychological warfare. So he naturally did it. (note: Before the finals, Flash said "I am going to beat you by 'anti-carrier build' strategy" this excited Stork. In opposition, Stork said "I already analyzed your strategy. I am going to break you") It was Stork's fault for thinking that Flash would announce his strategy beforehand, and not change it. | ||

I've never seen anyone improve as quickly as Flash had, before the GSI Flash was "one of the best" players around, easily top 10. After the GSI Flash was easily top 5, now Flash is top 3, and it's not just that your perceptions change, he's game play improves with every game. That said, OSL Finals were nice because Flash dominated, but the OSL game quality as a whole was fairly low. It was more exciting than EVER though for some reason... | ||
