It's normal till around 70-90 supply. Fantasy just has better macro and that won him the games today.
His lurkers were remarkably useless. I assume they're meant to kill more than 1 marine per lurker :D
I figured a semifinal would be closer that was boring
i think fantasy will retain his tittle thou if jangbang makes it, it will be able to hold aiur honor after So much centuries of abuse from the other races.
Out of curiosity, I checked it: if Fantasy wins the final he just advanced into, he will be 3rd player ever to claim two consecutive OSL titles (after Boxer and Jaedong).
Well played by Fantasy. Kind of surprising how, in my opinion, Hydra was the one with the more creative early game strategies and Fantasy was the one with the late game solidity.
I'm a little disappointed Hydra lost, but Jangbi vs Fantasy should be great and Soo vs Fantasy won't be a ZvZ, so thinks could be much worse :D

Well, a better zerg would have evened out the supply with that many lurkers. So, yeah, 1 lurker per marine is not cost effective ^^

Fantasy = S-class
This Welcome to S class.
... Beating hydra doesnt make for S class
Reaching 4 OSL finals (1win 2silvers, one pending) at least one additional OSL and MSL semi-final (from memory, could be more) and being unbeaten in 3 straight SPL Grand-finals does.
