It's kinda funny that neither Stork, Fantasy or Jangbi can win a final without playing one of the other.

This was incredible.. best series i've seen. My favourite OSL run. It's just been perfect, nothing could be better. After Ro8 game 1 there wasn't particularly much hype at all about the OSL.. Then the surprise underdog Jangbi takes out Flash. A special moment in itself in a lot of ways... a lot of people including me then obviously wanted Jangbi to go on and take it and be the first P of this modern era to win it. However Soo would have been silly to underestimate, while i desperately wanted him to win i knew in the back of my head PvZ is very harsh sometimes if you're a P fan.

Yet amazingly he smashes him 3-0.. a great series in itself, in his weakest matchup, and he does the perfect thing and completely dominates. So he's definitely serious and hype building up massively for the final.. but there was still a nagging feeling about possible fluke form and Fantasy's form always showing in tournament in a matchup he specializes in. It was always possible but would it really happen.

Then this finals. Wow... it was awesome from the start with Jangbi doing pretty much what i said in my earlier post in the thread, that he needs to play aggressive not reactive. He pretty much did that every game in some form or another. He showed us new ideas and old classics alike. Then it ramped up for the ridiculous 4th set. Win by floating CC but in a hugely entertaining way. Then 5th set (which i previously didn't even want) is totally insane. Now you can pick on decisions by the players all day there was so many twists in the game. But it ended up how it did, and it's a miracle.

Fantasy warrants mention too simply because no other player would have made this series like this. Just happened to be the perfect matchup. Nothing against Flash but he'll never have a series like this (that's more like a compliment to his skill). The stars aligned and gave us this, finally a Protoss Champion, 100% well deserved and in great style. With the current state of BW maybe it will end up being more than just a Cinderella story. This has shown the full potential of eSports, and if this can't convince people that there is more potential and possibilities with this game then nothing can. It wasn't the best players of their races and they didn't make every correct decision, but how it unfolded was a spectacle. I don't think you could write out a series like that.

I think we should all be a lot more determined about BW; there is still legends yet to rise and fall.

That's obviously why Yellow never won a final. There were no other Kong line members to take down.
