I get it now, Jangbi is not just a hero that the protoss race needs. No, he is a hero needed by BW and all of its loving fans. May this win not just make protoss prosper but the BW scene as a whole as well.
My gratitude goes to the streamers, LR people/ maker, and everyone who enjoyed this night with me. Thanks, good night!

I mean tanks were always so far behind goliaths so Jangbi (with his flawless control I must add) picked insane number of Goliaths with dragoons. Then when he starts retreating from Goons he picks another 2-3 with his carrier. All that time Fantasy is in the middle of the map,not atacking Jangbi and not defending his main nor his 3rd which becomes an easy targer for Jangbi twice! Then he starts a push,Jangbi goes for the main and leaves his 3rd without any defense but no,fantasy decides not to go for it because of...2 cannons? Meanwhile his wraiths are doing apsolutly nothing. And on top of all that,I have to say I watched quite a few games of BroodWar,but never seen Protoss winning from 80 to 140 supply deficit + 2 vs 3 bases.
I'm pretty sure Fantasy got a nasty shock when Jangbi revealed he wasn't giving up, and every little bit of ground Jangbi gained shook Fantasy more and more - was Jangbi really coming back in the decisive game 5??!!! This probably led to the nerves which led to Jangbi completely outcontrolling Fantasy, because yes tbh as game 5 progressed, Fantasy's control got worse and worse.

Is there a player related one as well? * Please don't kill the ignorant newbie. Here is the prophecy!

One of the main reason 2 base carrier died was because one day, this kid named flash came with a build called anti-carrier build. Then the protoss trend became macro game with arbiters. Funny to see how in this game, it went back in to 2 base carrier

Fantasy could have changed some things, and won, and become a true heir of BoxeR with a back to back OSL win, especially in Game 5, but Jangbi deserves it for being clutch and not breaking when his 2 base Carriers was disrupted so HARD. No more BW Kong Line, the curse has shifted to the Kong's new game.
Fantasy SILVER MOUSE (All in 3-2 losses!!!)
Jangbi OSL GOLD
<3 BW FOREVER

Anyways, is there anyone left who got two silver in starleagues? I can't think of anyone right now. I think people who haven't won a starleague yet at most got one silver. Movie is probably the most reasonable one right now, I think... unless you cout Kwanno...

Easily. The TL BW community could have a $100+ tournament once a week, if they tried no offense but i wouldn't pay to watch active bw foreigners play. there's a reason why people watch korean bw only. Self-fulfilling prophecy? ISL does get viewers GTR, and I assure you there were games worth watching. And yeah, with regular tournies and prize pool, the level of play would just get better... I mean, yeah I'd take OSL over TSL any day, but weren't those awesome tournament too ? And I mean, SC2 gets viewers, so why not foreign bw... Anyway...
I've always maintained that BW fans should treat SC2 fans as BW fans in training, and use this sudden rise in foreign interest with "e-sports" generically to fuel a sudden rise in foreign interesting in BW specifically.
Yes, obviously, foreign BW <<<<<<<<<Korean BW right now, but if it becomes worthwhile for foreigners to train 12-14 hours a day, in 2-3 years it won't be. But we have to start somewhere.
If we get enough tournaments, we can get BW at MLG, and then we're off and running

Why did jangbi produce so many observers? I thought fantasy had kept his wraith out of sight.

It's true, probably fantasy relaxed too hard and than he found himself with Jangbi retutning with a carriers.
