Well.... the last final was Nal_Ra v Zeus.

Three major finals prior to the 'official' beginning of the Starleague featured no terran user: Grrr v HOT, Garimto v Skelton both from 2000. Grrr v TheBoy from 2001 was the last with no terran prior to Kingdom v Nal_Ra.

Wtf, people here confuse me. Just a couple months ago we were making hate threads about ' Who's the worst player ' and ' Why does Control suck so much '

Reach will clean the floor with Control's face, end of story.

kingdom should have won 2-0. kingdom messed up that 2nd game so bad it's not even funny. i didnt watch the 3rd game, but even if control owned kingdom in it, you cant expect kingdom to man handle him every game -_-;;

reach > kingdom, so i predict reach 3-1

reach is the most solid toss player ever.
he's immune to cheese and unorthodox plays such as m&m/bamboo rush. yes, reach loses at times, but i've never ever seen him being bashed like a newbie before.

I agree with Ronin. The first semi was a bit disappoiting, not one game lasted more then 10 min or so, thanks to July. The second semi, well, it might be just a bit interesting, depending only on Reach, cause i think Control plays by the book. That is my opinion from couple of vods i've seen, and to add, Control lost to Zeus in NHN OSL 3-0 in semis. I am hoping he learned his lesson so we, the rest of the world, can enjoy some good games.
I am going for Reach, cause i wont to see a PvZ final. We had a pvz finals before, but in those days sc was not so popular as there days.

Well, i picked it up from 'Historia est magistra vitae', and yes, it does say life teacher.
I was planning to change it to Caesar's 'Veni,vidi,vici' if iloveoov won the Gillete, and it would be - 'iloveoov : Veni,vidi,vici'.
Translation : Came, saw, won, but it seems that the July is iloveoo's Galls(dont know how to spell that).

for once i have to agree with reaper on this . Who the fuck is control? to me, a nobody. If kingdom hadnt fucked up he wouldnt be there.

Both July and Reach have something to prove. The only thing control needs to prove is that he isnt "Bunker Terran" which i think is pretty fucking pathetic.

It's actually Vini, vidi, vici = I came, I saw, I won but i believe that when Caesar said it,it was I came I saw I conquered...not sure

Yeah it's Veni Vidi Vici and it means I came, I saw, I conquered when quoted from famous Caesar. Anyway, offtopic.

If Control wins against Reach, I'll quit play sc for a week.

although I really like control, i dont think he should or would win anyway. Otherwise july would realy really toy around with him at the finals. On the other hand agains reach things would be really really different.
it all returns to nothing...and only truth can really set us free.

I don't understand how everyone underestimates (is this spelled right? ) Control. I think he's one of the most potential players in the whole world.

Remember. Control owned the whole KOR team just 2 weeks ago.

Btw, I want Reach to win I don't think it will be an one-sided game though.

True but Reach is coming off a win over Nada. Nada is, as we all know, superior to Control. Reach must be the favourite.

Whooo run in fear it's KOR!

Control is going to lose, just all the factors going against him, he's playing against hero toss, arguably one of the top 3 toss ever, the pressure of playing that, and the pressure of having to face July who has pretty much owned everyone and anyone who is good with Terran. Reach will 3-0 this fool if Control has balls enough to not cheese.

Control went early expo, then suddenly out of nowhere he was building four barracks! Reach saw them with his obs and started teching to templar but Control always seemed to be one step ahead. By the time he had storm Control was at his natural. Marine power. Holy....

DT's are good if you get caught unawares (don't have time for storm to research) and good for buying you time...but storm or reaver is how you wanna fight M&M if it lasts longer than just an initial rush. I think.

Bwahahaa, second game on Requiem and Reach cannon rushed him! One cannon at ramp. Broke in with zealots and sacrificed them to take out some SCVs. Control only had two barracks. When Reach's dragoons arrived Control just quit. Now we have a match on our hands.

He had a few DTs in the first game but Control early expoed and had two comsat stations so he had a lot of scan energy available.

That's what I was thinking about. Sacrifying DT's one by one, just to force him scan and buy some time to go for storm + mass. Relying to get storm in time sounds too risky for me. And what about cannons? Ah.. forget game 1. Go go Reach !

Game Three on Mercury. More orthodox play, although Control goes two fact and early starport. Reach foils Control's drops after sighting the dropship with an observer. Reach takes natural and then expos to 5. He continues to build his army and foil all attempts at harassment as he techs to carriers. Now, despite having seen the two stargates with a failed vulture drop Control builds no goliaths. Absolutely astounding. I have no idea what he was thinking about. Control tries to attack but two carriers arrive and his army disappears. There is still no sign of any goliaths and Reach has two more carriers on the way. Game over.

Reach takes game three with ease.

Game of the tournament so far. Absolutely incredible. It was like watching the Reach of old. His play reminded me of the famous game against Boxer in 2002. Zeal drops onto tanks, dark drops, templar dropping out of shuttles into the very centre of the battlefield and decimating the terran army with storm.

I can hardly contain myself. Reach was awesome.

Reach wins.. one of the best game in Gillette osl league!
VERY LONG, HELL OF A FIGHT Both players did so well!
Reach actually used some magcificent dark templar sneeking in
catching lots of tanks and scvs.

Also Control showed his true skills, i gotta admit that
he was really underated so far. This game had so many small and
large fights i couldn't sit down a single second... it made me
stand up!

AND FINALLY the BIG CLASH and if reach didn't get his templars at
the last moment it could have gone the control way beating reach.

But finally the templar that did not work well today for reach
did something in the end destroying many tanks gave reach the victory.

Wow reach used some nice tactics too... I only thought he was
straight macro player with no tactics. But wow he used those
nice dark templars so well!

Oh I forgot to mention there was the biggest drop of Starcraft
League! One zealot drop and it killed around 4-5 tanks and
1 set of vultures!!!! Just one drop! OMG it was awesome.
That helped reach a lot too.

Anyway this was a classic TvP battle that ppl will remember.

Control will get his lost respect back with outstanding performence
and reach did well enough to deserve the final round!

What a game by both players

reach got off to a huge advantage early with his goon attack + zealot drop vs fac cc

but then he tried to rush killing control and fucked up and lost sone units that he didn't have to

silent control's army got pretty fucking huge, and i think he would have ran over reach but reach made an amazing clutch move zealot drop and blew up 12+ units with 2 zealots....HUGE

I'm here now!......too late ;(

I heard that the games were awesome, and that both players did a good job

Now I'm finally relieved that fewer people will underrate Control's skills. He's my favorite Terran next to Xellos, so don't underrate or underestimate him !!!

And it's great to see another PvZ final. I can't wait any longer!

my god, what a game.

na do-hyun's mines taking out at least 10 of his own units was the highlight (they had a closeup of na do-hyun straight after that, priceless), then park jeong-seok's HT drop straight into the middle of the vulture/tanks and storming another 10+ units.

park played godly except for the follow-up to his first attack on na's expansion.

True to an extent. However, in a way he made his own luck by making the right moves at the right time. I literally threw my hands in the air with shock when he dropped those zeals in amongst the tanks and that mine obliterated about 12 of Control's units.

all 5 games are kind of 1-sided. game 5 started off quite exiting but after the mine incident control had no chance.

I disagree. Even after the mine incident Control was still able to rebuild a formidable force and looked to be closing in on Reach's natural until Reach suddenly dropped that templar in the centre of the battlefield and destroyed tanks and vults with a superbly placed storm.

that's sort of a desperation push. reach had 4 bases against 2 and was building stargates for carriers, while control couldnt build up his second gas. I saw a HT drop and two storms that wasted 2 tanks and 1 vul and damaged a few others, that's ALL! After the push's over reach still had a dozen units left. prob watching it live make you more anxious than usual

As I am a Reach fan I would not rule that out. I shall watch the game again tonight or tomorrow and report back.

I don't think game 5 was as close as people thought it was. Control's push never ever got near any of reach's bases in a situation where he had to completely raze at least 1 base. Control had no expo, much less a gas expo, while reach had 2-3 bases and carriers coming.

As good as Reach is, I somehow don't feel the same reckless intensity and passion from him that I felt when he won it all in SKY 2002, altho by most accounts he's a better player now than he was back then.

I've always said, it's not just skill that wins you the championship (skill is a givens) - it's drive and passion. I see some serious hunger in July. In fact, he's worn his ambition on his sleeve throughout this tournament - but not many bothered to see it. Until now of course.

Look for July to take the Gillette final and finally (FINALLY!) end the Zerg championship drought. Man, what a story this guy is.

You should consider the fact that Reach has been in the top 20 (maybe top 10) since he won the starleague, he doesnt give up and is always among the top protoss players... he obviously has this "drive" you speak of.

But I mostly like his style because he uses unorthodox builds yet plays extremely well no matter what build he uses, like when he won that pvp on paradoxx using dark archons to steal carriers, or when he beat nada by taking a gas exp and going carriers on nostalgia and stopping his vultures with 2 goon blockades on the middle.

Well it's only natural that you will be most driven to win your first. That's why everyone without exception slumps after winning that big one they've been chasing for years.

Agreed. That's why I usually vote for the newcomers, rather than the old-timers. I had hopes for Niza, since a 2 year break could really create a hunger for the game, but we haven't heard of him lately.

I'm not utterly impressed by July. The games vs iloveoov showed that he can play very good, but dreadfully bad as well (his losses on Mercury and Requiem). I might be wrong, since it's probably no coincidence that he had won iTV recently. Time will tell. As for now I don't see him as a machine, like NaDa for example (my absolute favourite when it comes to consistency).

I know nothing of Reach's drive and nowadays he always looks incredibly calm and controlled when he plays. However, there was something about his actual play in game five that reminded me of 2002.

I think July must go into the final as favourite, however.

I disagree...First of all, I find unconventional play to be the most interesting and secondly, I'm impressed that Control made that strat work...

But I think game 5 is being hyped too much. It was fucking great don't get me wrong, but the luck factor played a huge role. Poor Control...got owned by his own mines. 12 units for 1 zeal is a bad trade...haha

Common now Reach, you best not pull a Boxer and lose to a peon like July.

However, I find it kinda sad, because I think iloveoov vs. Reach would be a better match up.

Oh well...

Just before I get flamed...put this comment into perspective...I'm not saying July sucks...I'm just saying that Reach has a more destinguished past and is therefore the king of the castle...

bah...whatever...you'll all hate on my oov loving ass anyways...

Gogo Reach!

I was talking about the comments made by players and the coach of the HanbitStars before Reach's fateful match v Boxer in Sky 2002. The information was that Reach was practicing like a madman something like 16 hours a day for a week straight. The entire team locked themselves up during the week before the match helping Reach practice. They never left the team dorm. Bak wanted to win so badly, it was quite serious. It was pure, naked desire to win and his teamates fed off the vibes from him. Nothing else mattered to Reach in the run-up to Sky 2002. I don't sense the same level of desire from him this time, altho undoubtedly he wants to win and has been practicing lots.

Well, first of all that's not what I was talking about when I mentioned the word "coach." So you're way off topic.

But, here's the short answer: "coaches" help players analyze their games, develop strats and generally get involved with the players technically to help their game. They also show up at games to help players with advice, tips etc. On the other hand, team "directors" (the word I really should have used, but didn't because the Korean word gamdok can be translated into both "coach" and "director") are mostly administrators for the team, handling sponsorships and tending to the day-to-day management of the team, its staff and players, as opposed to getting involved with the players on a technical level. Some teams have both roles combined into one. The teams that can afford to have them separated. FYI, the new generation of directors tho (like SKT1's Joo Hoon) are also motivators and try to help the players find an emotional balance to achieve optimum results. The coaches do this too, of course. But Joo Hoon's especially adept at getting the most out of his players emotionally given his background in sports psychology.

Now stop nagging me.

i dont always agree with mensrea and dont worship him like a lot of other guys - so dont accuse me of being biased - but seriously, go bacvk to middle school and learn to form a rational, cogent arguement. mensrea offered his expert opinion on the matter and you disagreed with him based purely on your opinion. nobody respects everyone's right to express their opinion more than mensrea, but if you want to make a point, back it up, dont be a petulant baby. mensrea offered his reasoning for his comment, which was backed by solid evidence, whereas you just disagre and flame him based on purely circumstantial grounds. if all you can do is dole out a pure guess and childish remarks....well then, i think you fit right in at tl.net

ejai63,

How the hell is saying "You should consider the fact that Reach has been in the top 20 (maybe top 10) since he won the starleague, he doesnt give up and is always among the top protoss players" a pure guess? And most importantly how the hell is saying that childish? Explain?

I've read Origin's post over and over and I cannot pinpoint 1 time where he made a pure guess/childish comment. Reach definitely has been in the top 20, many of the time top 10 since he was champion. ejai63 it seems that you're the one who needs to back up your statements with "solid evidence."

Both mensrea and origin has their point of view, just that each person defines "drive" differently. No one is exactly wrong. I can understand from both of their perspectives. Although we can all agree that July has more drive than Reach does now -- he's never won the big one nor any other zerg for that matter.
