My two cents:

The Jangbi bandwagon isn't so much about his performance as it is about his narrative.

Here's the most notorious of the Paewangs turning his entire career around after two (three?) years of failure and obscurity and suddenly making the finals of the most prestigious gaming tournament in the world.

I'm still in shock as to how he got here--he just suddenly turned around and punched everyone in the face (including Flash, though I feel like that's been overemphasized at this point) and ended up in the finals. What the fuck?! A turnaround like this is virtually unheard of.

And add onto that--the period we're in right now is widely being considered as the twilight of BroodWar--just look at BroodWar general. The flow of bad news has stopped for now, but the signs are all around--BroodWar is contracting pretty severely.

And now here comes along our Miracle Boy, Jangbi Almighty, storming everyone to oblivion. This is a story that everyone who loves, who has loved, and who will love this game desperately needs--a Cinderella story, the most dramatic self-revival the scene has seen in years--to give everyone some hope. This is better than any rise-of-a-previously-unknown-rookie story (Hydra, for instance, though I feel that's a little dated now) we've seen so far--this is unadulterated AWESOME.

I'm a diehard Fantasy fan--I've gone to SKT games at the OGN studio, stayed out close to subway closing to get his autograph, cheered him on in the MBC studio during MST, and shed a tear when I saw him finally lift up his Starleague trophy.

But I want him to lose.

It's Jangbi's time to shine. Who gives a fuck about statistics? It's time for a miracle.

LONG LIVE BROODWAR!

Fantasy isn't as great of a player he actually is. It's all thanks to oov lending a hand with strategies and stuff. Watch his TvZ can't play bionic for shit for so long.

Yes Fantasy a good player only because of Oov, that's why Canata, Ssak and all the SKT B-Teamer Terrans are the stuff of legends! And nevermind that series vs Hydra where he went bio 3/4 games (Even Flash and Light late-mech now, so you can't say shit about not using late-game bio).

Sick of (mostly) Stork/Khan fanboys continually undermining Fantasy for his worth. Jangbi can be an exciting, awesome player when he's on and it'd be nice for a Protoss to finally win a finals, but my tag is T1 dammit, and I'll never turn my back on my favorite team. Fantasy all the way, become a contender for the Golden Mouse!

Look, he destroyed your precious Stork in a 3-0 beatdown fair and square, not without help, but certainly not as a puppet. He did so because he's better than Stork.
Accept this and just stop hating Fantasy needlessly.
