Yeah, most Protoss players are loyal to Bisu, and follow his example. That's why they suck in SLs.

 Stork vs JangBi finals
Both get silver,  Flash gets golden by instant
You here it first
|
My favorite matchup to watch is PvT. This SL is gonna suck so bad for me.
|
Personally I don't really enjoy any mirror MUs but at least ZvZ tend to be short and action packed. And TvZ is the shit, so this OSL shouldn't be that bad.
I hope Killer will prove he's a worthy heir to the throne of the Dong by some stellar ZvZ.
|
Hope JvZ returns in this OSL... cuz if it does... JD's got this D:
|
Seriously wonder why Zergs are so active in SL...
|
Doesn't OSL still have their fair racial distribution group policy? If so, + Show Spoiler [edit: meh, looks like not anymore...] +we're only gonna have 1 group with 3 zergs and 1 terran, 3 groups with 2 zergs, 1 group with 2 terrans. Tosses obviously in different groups. In other words, each group is 2Z + 1T + 1 of (2P, 1T, 1Z), and hopefully most of the zergs will go down in that stage.

They got rid of that a long time ago. I remember the all-zerg group in ever 2008 osl.
I still don't understand this aversion that so many people have for ZvZ Bo3/5.

zvz is the best
plus there's wayyy too many zergs in this osl (and also the msl)

ZvZ can be tense as hell
but a bo3 is still over in(less then) 30 minutes.
However hive ZvZ has to be the best matchup in all of Brood War(perhaps due to the small amount of times it happens)
Its all chaos and shit, plagues, hydras, cracklings, lurkers, devourers, ultras, queens, mutalisks, scoruges.
shit everywhere
plague everywhere.

Its kind of a shame that the Protoss 'thing' is "Victory after victory" when its more like fail after fail. 
Oh well, good luck to Storkuu and Jangbang!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surely you jest. It's one thing to like ZvZs, it's another to not see why so many people dislike them.

I've always read it as "Victory after victory... over Protoss"...

whoa, this is definitely the mediocre zerg OSL.... hope fantasy and Stork get together to make an all zerg group to get rid of some of these guys, knowing the OSL, hyvaa will be a seed next season
|
after the Ro16 most of the weaker zergs (modesty, soo, hyuk, shine, etc) should be weeded out and we will be left with a pretty good race distribution I think.
as long as JD, flash, fantasy, and stork make it out, this OSL can still be really good. I think the ideal Ro8 would include those 4 plus hydra, baby, calm, and jangbi. just too bad that stork/fantasy/calm/sorta baby are slumping pretty bad right now lol
|
|
|
somehow I can totally see jangbi and stork miraculously making it to Ro8 but then having to play each other there lol
|
We will have a JvF final. That's right. Jaedong vs Fantasy all day. Fantasy will bust out a new build involving Battlecruisers to yamato hatcheries. Ofc in games 3,4,5, jaedong will use 2 hatch muta to get early scourge, park them on top of fantasy's starports and watch oov cry again.
