Shouldn't the other 12 players that made it to the round of 16 last OSL get a shot at that? Or did they? | ||

No he got seeded so he only has to play one Bo3 in the Ro36 like the other 11 players that made it into the round of 16 because Effort is gone | ||

a lot of heavily unqualified players came out of this OSL prelim IMO, kicking out players such as Best, ggaemo, and Midas while letting nubs like Tyson, Movie, and Suny through. I have a feeling we'll see our seeds dominate in the upcoming rounds. | ||

Oh yeah, beating Zero and Shine in the most imbalanced matchup of 2009 (not even Bisu or Stork were able to defeat Shine) was surely only luck. Oh and he also was the only toss putting up a fight vs Flash in a bo5 (best, free, pure got all destroyed). | ||

Rofl, Fanboys^^ Here's an analogy : Imagine there's a little kid with glasses in midlle school. For some reason, he has annoyed the biggest guy in the school. And this guy has already beaten like everybody in the school. Everybody is sure the kid is gonna end up in the hospital with his legs and arms broken, and his face in blood. Then there is a really smart guy who comes close to him before the fight and tells him "hey, maybe you should just run then plunge and hide your face, it would not be so bad" The kid follows the advice and like, ends up with an arm not broken and not that much blood on his face. The other kid are quite impressed by this performance, with good reason. Well, the little kid is Movie, the big guy is Flash, the advice is given by the coaching staff, the other guys are the spectators, and the gay "strategy" is carriers. | ||

Oh and he also was the only toss putting up a fight vs Flash in a bo5 (best, free, pure got all destroyed). Zero is a massive choker. No matter which situation he is in, if there is pressure, he will get embarrassed. Ace matches? He'll lose and puff his cheeks. Ro8 series matches? He'll lose 2-0 and puff his cheeks. Forced to play against a team mate like Free? He'll lose 2-0 and puff his cheeks. You could probably consider Movie's PvZ to be "better" than Bisu's and Stork's because he wasn't slumping like Bisu or as unstable as Stork. But none of this even confirms Shine's skill level; the reality is he couldn't use anything beyond lair tech because he has such awful macro. Beating Stork and Bisu with hydrabusts doesn't confirm anything besides those two seriously sucked at PvZ at the time. And no, Movie didn't really put that much of a fight against Flash. The reason Best, Free, and Pure all got destroyed was because Flash was actually assertive against these players: the massive reason for his recent performance was because he actually plays aggressively now. Flash turtled Movie to death (never happens in PvT). Flash blocked a very aggressive tech build order and rolled him in a single push, Flash lost to surprise carriers after losing his army by playing passive, then destroyed him with that new FD build. Movie was good at the time but don't try and make him into something he isn't: his OSL run, like many one time wonders, was very much dependent on luck. He only played his best matchup and played progamers with massive, massive flaws in their play: Shine can't macro and Zero is streaky and performs poorly under pressure (IIRC right before the series match he get demolished by Stork two times in Proleague). Though after years of reading your posting, I'm guessing you are actually obtuse and blinded from by allegiance to CJ or something.

Outside of ZvP and Monty Hall, I can't remember anything about Silver to be honest. | ||

And Calm is seeded into the Ro24 (or actually 28 players remaining) not the Ro16. This is the latter part of the Ro36 (or actually 40 players remaining). | ||

the gay "strategy" is carriers. Thank god for carriers. They're the only thing keeping PvT honest. If no one used carriers, T could turtle up with nothing but vultures, mines, tanks, and vessels, every single game. The threat of carriers forces T, for a change, to fear letting P sit back and macro up too much, rather than the other way around all the time. That means, on the margins, less turtling "gayness". Tell me where the strategy is in passive turtling until 3/3 upgrades (or, judging from your icon for that matter, spamming one midgame unit such that a mediocre zerg was able to make it to the OSL semifinals doing nothing but that, until aforementioned flukytoss knocked him out) and I'll show you double that in properly timing/hiding a carrier switch and proper carrier micro. | ||
