I have been a Kim Myung Woon fan since he took out Bisu on Othello using almost pure lurker ling.

I have to admit, on most of his games, his style is not very entertaining. Whereas Jaedong always goes for sharp micro oriented games, Zero plays a much more standard game. He reminds me of Savior in a way, except he has the micro of a modern player, unlike poor savior now.

I have always found him more likeable than Jaedong. If there was ever a contest for most adorable pro gamer, I think he would win easy. Hopefully he becomes a royal roader.

I have a similar respect for ZerO...and I think he popped onto my radar as a legitimate Zerg contender upon watching the very same game you mentioned - was it the one where he recovered from a failed 5-pool with really clutch obs sniping? In PL? I think so.

You have to love these former Hanbit guys - they really played/practiced through some tough times under their old sponsor. I'm glad that WJ is doing a great job of supporting the team, and I hope ZerO can take his royal road bid a long way in this OSL.

Woongjin really saved guys like ZerO from falling into oblivion. Could really tell the difference after the change of sponsors.

But I still hate ZerO for knocking out (Z)

OSL has always been given more attention than the MSL because of everything - the power difference between the sponsors (Bacchus, EVER, Incruit, Shinhan Bank vs Lost Saga, ClubDay Online, Avalon Online, see the difference?), the grandeur, the existence of 'golden mouse', having a wall with the OSL winners' pics, etc. Everything just points to OSL being better than MSL.

Despite my being a rabid MSL fan, I can say unbiasedly it has changed a LOT since many years ago when I was really into BW. There's really not much seperating the two leagues right now, mostly due to a lot of 삽질 on ongamenet's part.

Yes, free is definitely the word for a costly fast teching strat that had a huge window of vulnerability midgame that the protoss failed to scout correctly/respond to -- instead just watching as he set up lurker contain and upgraded Ovies for dropping, completely failing to snipe the ovies with his corsairs.

ps: Kal screwed the pooch on what should've been an easy to counter build if he had practiced against it at all, which he damn well should have if he wants to keep that dragon title.

He's already lost it, he played like a total noob in that last game (I only was able to watch the last game).

Plus, his recent PL games were mediocre.

He and Free were always the underrated dragons, but man are they failing lately. Coupled with Best's ongoing weak play and Stork and Jangbi's really really sudden double slump, it's weird that Bisu is the only one worth watching for protoss anymore.

I don't like Kal, and Zero is one of my favorite players. I also feel that 99% of the time it's stupid to get worked up about imbalances. I was ready to defend Zero against people saying IT were imba, but after watching tho VOD I have to say that I think they are probably imbalanced on that map and it's crazy.
