Both finalists from the previous MSL and OSL are 0-1...
Should've banged on that drum harder.

Why does it seem like Jaedong hasn't been playing like Jaedong for a month or two now? I keep seeing him playing sloppy and looking frustrated. He looked so depressed halfway through his game with Hiya here.
|
FUCK YEA. HIYA VS HYDRA FINALS INC
|
Hiya has become my 2nd favorite terran But poor Jaedong Well, I'm sure he'll be fine
|
jaedong made a couple noob mistakes that cost him the game :\ really entertaining ending though. jaedong and hiya <3
all players that i rooted lost >.<

I believe I speak for us all when I say WHAT THE FUCK!?! @ the results.

The drum ceremony was just too good though  Also, it makes it so both players can advance in their rounds! They do make mistakes like that occasionaly. Even worse mistakes sometimes.

no, omg Jaedong! Hahha, the drum!
ok I see, the new era of brood war pros..

honestly though that spire placement was just so retarded :\

I'm not a particular fan of Shine but I don't think he gets enough credit for his attacking ability. That counter-attack was well-timed to catch a player Sea's caliber off guard and that kind of thing takes a lot of instinct and balls to pull off.

Im just going to say that cancelling the nexus and rebuilding it lost the game for free. That's 100 minerals down the drain + maybe 200-300 minerals of mining time. Basically gave hydra a free base.

I don't quite understand why he would do this after winning against a teammate
|
Cuz drums represent a funny meme of jaedong. It is sort of like if Calm and Kal were playing each other, and Calm lost, Kal comes to Calm's booth with bunch of clams.

This appeared during that mid-2008 to pre-Batoo OSL 2009 when Jaedong wasn't doing so good. He was doing bad enough that fans felt like his opponents just "beat" him too often. At least that's how i think it came about (limited knowledge on this issue).
Hiya's the latest one now to "beat the neighborhood drum." Making Jaedong waste his 붕어빵 (fish-shaped bread filled with red-bean paste that Jaedong was planning to eat after he beat "the Magikarp") was bonus.
