You know as they say, theres a place and time for everything. After a shitty osl and msl final, I'm pretty sure that everyone is just pissed off that we have to see another fail final.

Including me.

Shine was just doing the wrong thing in the wrong time in the wrong place.

Shine is looking to be quite a player in my opinion. His aggressive style is really fun to watch

funny how things are, to me, when an unknown player beats a player i like (like shine beated stork) he earns my interess (and sometimes my respect), not my hate

i really liked how shine is pefforming, overagression is an awesome thing to watch. And new players should aways rise to keep the game competitive. Starcraft is so good because things like that (underdog winning) are very possible

Jaedong not being good enough made the game short.

Jaedong lost when he lost his overlord. Are you saying that he wasn't good because he sent his initial overlord to scout? FFS, stop. You're worse than the fanboys.

All the Shine haters... I wonder how many of his games you have actually watched? Watch his game vs Violet for example to see things other than mutas and hydras.

Man this is awesome, it's hard to ask for a better semifinals. flash vs calm should be good assuming calm comes prepared enough to not lose exactly the same way that every other zerg loses to flash (lol), and movie vs shine should be extremely fun to watch judging by their previous encounter.

As long as there both calm AND shine dont win, the finals will be great!

Calm versus Movie finals would actually be pretty sick. Both super creative players with unique styles of play. I wonder what the reaction would be on TL if Shine won the OSL. People would probably continue pretending he's not a good player.

Until he shows that he's not a one-hit-wonder like Mind, Luxury, ForGG, etc, people are going to KNOW that he's not a good player. Being good for a short period of time doesn't mean nothing but it sure doesn't mean that much. You have to be consistent.

Question: When ForGG won his game against Jaedong in the Finals, Flash in the semi-finals and Kal the quarterfinals, was he like a nobody like Shine or he was already known?

He was known for making Starleagues but never really going far at all. Kinda like go.go but slightly better without great macro and nonexistant micro.

I always wondered how much of ForGG's slump could be blamed on his injury from that time he fell down the stairs and couldnt play in the 2008 all-stars.

People, please compare time frames. He started dropping tons of games months before his injury.

So people said Ruby was the better player becuase FireFirst cheesed him out? Well then JD must be the superior player over Flash since he tries that shit. Goddanmit...

A BO5 would've been much better for the overall performance and results. But that's life.

what is most amusing to me is that if jaedong wins with just sick mutalisk control and hydra all-ins everyone will say "wow gosu micro, jaedong is so good i love jaedong" and "look at those hydras sick macro lol chobo protoss is gonna lose jaedong rulez"

if shine wins in the exact same way because he's goofy looking and not as well-known everyone shits down his throat.

Another thing worth noting:

When Flash loses 14cc to Jaedong's 9pool, it's his fault for being too greedy.

When Flash wins 7rax to Jaedong's 12 hatch, it's his fault for being too aggressive.

I don't understand this attitude at all. Somehow it's deplorable that Shine brought his A-game? It's unforgivable that he played the game to his strengths?

As much as I like Bisu and Stork, the blame falls entirely on them for being unable to adapt to his style. You can't really shift the blame, because there's nothing *wrong* that you can say Shine has done.
