The Fighting Cock
Chi Hsing Tzu was a trainer of fighting cocks
For King Hsuan.
He was training a fine bird.
The King kept asking if the bird was
Ready for combat.
"Not yet," said the trainer.
"He is full of fire.
He is ready to pick a fight
With every other bird. He is vain and confident
Of his own strength."
After ten days, he answered again:
"Not yet. He flares up
When he hears another bird crow."
After ten more days:
"Not yet. He still gets
That angry look
And ruffles his feathers."
Again ten days:
The trainer said, "Now he is nearly ready.
When another bird crows, his eye
Does not even flicker.
He stands immobile
Like a cock of wood.
He is a mature fighter.
Other birds
Will take one look at him
And run." Luxury's posturing at the end just sounds silly juxtaposed with JangBi's completely cold badass-ness.
luxury's cock is ready for the rape

both of these players are awesome, but i think jangbi's lack of appreciation for the metagame in a box will hurt him. lux has become an awesome box player (thanks to nada =). i'll be happy no matter who wins, so long as there are some good games
|
I really think that Jangbi is going to pay the price for disregarding mind games. I think BeSt disregarded mind games going up to his OSL finals vs July, and we all know how that turned out.

Jangbi really looks like a shaolin monk of some sort.
|
Anything to say to Jangbi?
-I heard you’ve been practicing hard, but I want to say, if you want to give me a good fight, you need to practice at least 2-3 times more than me, so I hope you practice hard. [laugh]
haha Luxury = badass
Luxury definitely deserves the gold.. and hell win it...

liquibeted jangbi, hoping for luxury!

Jeez, Stork seems to hate a lot of maps.
Stork seems to dislike a lot of... everything, including himself.
whoever wins i wont be disappointed, lux and jb are both great players.
even though my bet is with luxury, think he puts more pressure on himself.

JangBi is worlds away from Best in terms of intelligence in a BoX. There's a reason JangBi's been to 3 finals already, whereas Best has been to none. JangBi might claim he doesn't care about mind games, but he's well aware of when other players are trying to play them. He probably just means he doesn't dedicate his own BoX strategy around cheeses or manipulating the other player. A guy who doesn't know how to analyze mind games would not have scouted Stork's play in game 3.

lol I was about to call that as well.
I have no idea who to root for. If it weren't Jangbi's third final, I would definitely root for Luxury; but I would feel so bad for Jangbi if he got his third silver in a row. But Luxury seems so confident that I would be sad for him too if he lost. I guess I'll just have to hope for 5 good games and leave it at that.
It's kind of an amazing final because
+ Show Spoiler ++ Show Spoiler [OSL spoiler] +
with the possible exception of FANTASY (WTF WHERE DID THAT COME FROM) these are probably the best two players right now who haven't yet won a title.

Yes Hot_Bid.
Lux should be taking this. Let's just hope he doesn't show his streaky side in this. Lux for the 3-0!

Luxury's comment makes me wish I could see a chart of every Bo5 and the winning percentage of first-game winners.
|
Luxury is such a funny guy. I love his interviews. They always make me laugh 
I am really excited about the final. Jangbi is a monster (3 finals in a row; 2xMSL + GOM) but Luxury has been on fire lately. Let's see if Luxury can beat Jangbi with a little help of maps
|
What’s the most important part of this final?
-The first match might determine it…in most Bo5’s, whoever wins the first game tends to win the series. If I win the first game, I would have confidence for maybe even a sweep…
"most" as in not-jaedong Bo5s
Hoping Luxury, but thinking Jangbi here
