okay well, Hydra can probably just 4 pool on lolfinder, to make it a coinflip.


You can make a ling proof wall on it with a rax and a supply. Having seen Fantasy vs Calm on it I don't think it's a good idea. Maybe some mass mutaling all in or something...
God damn map statistics, fuck. Hydra you have to pull through man.


Zergliner was worse i think! Guess they wanted to balance things out a bit this time round...

Exciting breakdown of what this OSL will mean, depending on who wins:

(T)Fantasy and (Z)Hydra: both playing for their second gold, cementing a legacy as BW greats, etc.
(Z)Hydra: MSL and OSL Golds in the same year = One of best zergs of all time and no more (Z)Calm comparisons
(T)Fantasy: Back-to-back OSL Golds + 2 OSL silvers = time to rank his medal count among the all-time greats

soo: Royal Road. 'Nuff said, also an enormous underdog.

(P)JangBi: Loser king recovering from one of the biggest falls in history. Would be the greatest comeback win of all time, moreso even than (Z)July in 2008, and having had to beat some extremely strong opponents to take home the gold.

Furthermore, Fantasy vs. Jangbi (a likely outcome) continues the Kong vs. Kong legacy, which everyone loves. Remember, the only way people have escaped the Kong line is by beating other Kongs in the OSL.

Well, I think who ever wins this semifinal will be the next OSL-champignon.

Hoping to see some epic matches.

It's all for naught. Soo will win the OSL regardless of who he faces.

No, just kidding.

Fantasy till 3-2 Hydra. I initially was favoring Hydra to win with the same score, but the maps are so anti-Zerg that I don't think he can pull it off.

JangBi vs Soo is next Friday then?

Doesn't the player who advances on day 1 get advantage over the Day 2 winner? I mean he can start to practice for the finals a week before the winner from Jangbi/soo. Seems kind of unfair.

Not really, what is he going to practice? He doesn't know which match up he'll get since one is Protoss and the other is Zerg. The only thing the person can do study the map and possible match up strats.
Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

He can practice vsP for 3.5 days, and vsZ for 3.5 days, so he still has a 3.5 day advantage ^^^.

Just rooting for some good games! So long as Jangbi makes the finals I think either of these guys will make a great match up, and an epic finals is more important for BW than my personal bias on players

Would it be insane to try to hold the finals in china? Despite the typhoon, the reasons for going in the first place are all still there, and they could see that they were going to draw a large crowd.
