I like Fantasy a lot, but I think Jaedong will take this in 4/5.

Fantasy probably has some magic up his sleeves (reminding me of the game on plasma last time around.), so we'll see what happens.

I think this will be an awesome finals to watch. I hope Jaedong gets pushed, it's much more entertaining that way.

Haha, practicing extremely thoroughly? And getting help from Upmagic and Leta, some of the most creative and cheesy TvZ players there are? His preparation truly is inspiring.

wow, practicing with hiya(uh?) leta(annoying play) hwasin(bio) and upmagic(mech) is pretty good^^
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

hiya would be standard~~ but that is a good set of practice partners.

oo also, jaedong will win 3-1, dropping the infamous first set.

Hasn't jaedong won two starleagues already?

*goes to check TLPD*

Yeah he did. He won the OSL and MSL. I suppose he means his second OSL.


Well, to be totally rigid and serious business about things, the only StarLeague is OSL. OGN trademarked it.

I think they typically refer to the OSL as "starleague", so yeah.

I see, didn't know that. What with MSL being referred to as a starleague all the time here I just assumed they both were. Thanks for the info.

Man I'm a huge jaedong fan but I have a sickening feeling that fantasy is going to take it... it just seems like jaedong will have to play reactively to fantasy as opposed to the other away around. and fantasy has shown some extremely creative play... and with oov and boxer in his corner, you know game one on medusa is going to be something crazy.

Over the past in the starleague finals, terran have been dominating over zerg.
- I think the higher up in matches you go, the differences between the races start having more influence. Your nerves are racing and because there’s the desire to display your abilities I believe the race differences influence the matches. The more the match moves along passively, I believe in a tvz, the terran become more favorable.

So true.
I'm not saying the match-up is imbalanced but there are certain elements that shine in Fantasy's favor.
As a Zerg you really can't be passive in TvZ. If Jaedong gives Fantasy too much respect, or starts to doubt himself even a little, it could turn bad very quickly.

I think most likely Jaedong will win easily; but if Fantasy manages to hit him with something clever in game1 and gets him double-guessing then it could become a tense and exciting series.

Really hoping Fantasy will win. I'm mostly a zerg man through and through, but I love Fantasy's style and maybe with an OSL win he will finally get the respect he deserves.

Honestly I expect him to surprise everyone in the finals. While Jaedong is probably the most mechanically sound player to play the game he lacks one thing - that metagame sense that makes bonjwas possible. Fantasy is going to come at him with catered builds perfectly designed to take him down, and when JD finds he's going against something non-standard I bet we will start to see his immortality unravel.

JD has said himself that practice practice practice is what has gotten him to the top. What will happen when he faces something he never practiced against? I'm sure the oov/boxer/fantasy think tank will pull something crazy out of the bag.
