Does anyone else think Oov gave up waaaay too early in the 2nd game? A never-give-up fighting attitude is something Boxer failed to teach him IMO.

It's interesting to see the trends BW take. For a while now, terran has mostly gone 1 fac expand, and protoss dual gate and matching the terran or occasionally double-expanding.

The aggressive all in strats we've been seeing seem to be the result of protoss players being fed up with fighting on terran terms. I've never seen so much DT play as right now, or perhaps I've been out of the loop too long.

It was refreshing to see rainbow play against goodfriend. Mighty unorthodox.

Future of BW still looks interesting, and there still seem to be room for improvement and creativity.

Yeah I been out for awhile and guess what? Zerg doesn't use power hydra nearly as much as they used to. Now i see faster dual tech than ever before....

Ooh I can't wait to see Boxer's answer to Anytime... you know there's at least going to be one game that is a masterpiece strategy like 8 bunker... lol The next finals might start a new trend~

But what the fuck? How can you compare Pusan with Anytime. I think they are on different levels when It comes to understanding of the game. I think Pusan has to practise ten times more just to keep up with Anytimes level. He had probably practised hard as hell to beat Boxer, still It didn't work out. Pusan and Oov maybe don't practise in the right way.

Yeah I really said that I know everything about how much they practise. I'm sure Pusan had practised much more than Boxer still he failed. Unless you cant prove me wrong. STFU

dude you're full of shit. i bet if pusan > boxer and oov > anytime you'd be saying the opposite. i hate people who speculate and make conclusions off speculations; talk about fucking stupid... this is an OSL semi-final. i think it's fair to say all players involved would have practiced as much as possible. you are very naive.

Where the hell are you basing your assumptions off of. It's pretty clear that Anytime practised endlessly for these matches, so how the heck can you say shit like "Anytime can do better with less practice?"

What I mean is that practise is not everything. I don't think guys like Terato and Stork can ever be as good as Reach or Anytime(in his current shape). With lots and lots of practise you can come up to a level and be among the best. But to become the best you have to have that little "extra". Anytime is probably the best p right now, but compared to him, the rest of his team sucks. Still he can figure out what he must practise the most. All I say is that practise isn't everything. And i think Anytime got more of that little extra than Pusan. That is what i Think. Plz don't say that I'm fucking stupid or STFU beacuse of what i think.

And If the situation had been the opposite I wouldn't have said the exakt same thing but with the other players. It was just a feeling that I felt during the groupstage of this OSL. When Stork were up to YellOw I know he would lose beacuse he wasn't good enough to beat YellOw pvz. But when Anytime would meet YellOw It was no doubt for me that Anytime would own him. It's like two different feelings from judging two different players. Sometimes You'll just have a feeling for a player with that little extra in his style. I expect to get flamed for this post so goodnight all.

If youre expecting to be flamed I wont bother. But the whole concept of 'having a feel' for a player is really feeble. Every player has their day, much like any other sport a million factors contribute to one's success or downfall.

I predicted Anytime/Boxer final. I had the feeling. In fact, I predicted Anytime > Oov, 3-1, and Boxer > Pusan 3-2. Don't ask me to explain it, I just kinda knew.
