Anyway this is real life, so GO JANGBI!!
This isn't, because there's no Reality in the final

hows the queen picture related to him
he defeated queen play, a counter to mech style by zerg players that was giving lot of trouble to terran players
eh...what? yeah maybe he did neutralize some queens when playing Hydra, but that's not quite the reason why he won. Hydra didn't simply have enough queens and instead opted for another kind of army (which failed)
Agreed, hydras queen control just isnt good enough . that shit fantasy used wouldnt have worked against lategame experts like soulkey or zero

Or Jaedong
I remember game on Aztec this season... Those shittons of tanks and still not enough to break through Jaedong's defence and micro.
Hydra's multitasking sucks for the level of progamer. I remember set 2 vs. Flash @ Monte Cristo, where he lost so much stuff late in the game because of not being able to be everywhere in time. And set 4 vs. Fantasy @ La Mancha, where he managed to win the final fight of lurkers vs. marine/tank ball, but in the same time he lost his 3rd to small group of m&m... if not that he could probably be OK in this game.
Curse of Kim Carrier has been placed on Fantasy. GG man It's over. There are too many heavenly forces against Fantasy. May I add that also in this DES interview the YellOw God himself bestowed the Kong Curse on Fantasy.
Let me remind you guys again:
Fantasy: - Kim Carrier Curse (whoever Kim Carrier predicts as the winner ends up losing like 95% of the time) - Kong Curse (whoever YellOw predicts/wants as the winner ends up losing)

Also i notice people talking about the last final, but i don't think it has any bearing on this. Stork played awfully, totally mindless. Fantasy countered Stork's own reaver counter to 1rax CC and Stork apparently isn't the kind of player to change on the fly and react to this like Jaedong did in their OSL final.
Jangbi, we've already seen, has good decision making and reactions (when he wants to at least). He's not going to play into a disadvantage 3 times in a row. And as pointed out, Fantasy has some of the worst decision making when things go a different way than planned. So i expect Jangbi to take the initiative and play aggressive rather than reactive, not playing into whatever pre-planned idea Fantasy is doing for the game. With Oov not around the biggest mistake that could potentially happen is recycling what he's done in the last final and other recent TvPs, or depending solely on 1rax CC.
I feel like 3-1 Jangbi could be on the cards, with 1 or maybe 2 games heavily aggressive proxy/bulldog play. I'd like him to come out first set and be bold enough to just proxy if it's 1rax CC, considering it's Pathfinder.

afair Jaedong didn't change his strategy too, he insisted on opening 2 hatch muta all 5 games, but he found the morale to break the flow of the match and come back
As a relatively new member of TL (Sc2 era), this will be the first Brood War match I will watch live! I feel kind of excited to see what BW still has to offer, after all it helped create this amazing community!

I started watching BW from an OSL final too (Flash vs. Jaedong @ Korean Air OSL 2), and this was epic! Hope you will be seeing the epic game too.

Well that's true he didn't change his core strategy. I guess he just adapted to deal with it with what he had, but the change over the course of the games was still clear with the drone/ling block on the vulture being the best moment. Stork didn't look like doing the same turn-around at all, be it morale or whatever. I guess EffOrt and Jaedong both show if things are not going well in a finals just Kwanro it.
