Gosh...
It's your right to hate the game (and honestly, i can fully understand that given what Morhaime said), shitting randomly on it is not...
On topic, i'm a bit sad for ZerO, though i cheered for Jangbi. I feel he's not that much supported though appearing in the last four of the last OSL (well, i can't quantify how much, but it seems Jangbi has all the cheering for him ^_^).

Going to watch some big file msl games to get my hype for Fantasy v Flash Ro4 next week !

God the last and one of the better PvZ's . Great play by both players and what a come-back !

it seems when jangbi won the last set, the whole crowd went crazy and started cheering hard..
everyone there was jangbi's fan?
or i just ignored zero's fans because they were silent?

It's the manner with which he won the games. PvZs are usually more likely to be recommended if the Protoss wins, not because people are biased towards Protoss, but because it's usually the case that the onus is on the Protoss to execute some heroic play involving massive storms, corsairs, harass, hero units, etc. whereas Zerg victories over Protoss are more likely to be the result of the Protoss losing anticlimactically to a hydra bust, mismicroing or screwing up in some other way that makes the game rather dull or ugly.
That's not to say that it's simply Protoss overcoming Zerg imbalance, but rather that P has more opportunities for and a greater need for crowd pleasing maneuvers. Also, the fact that Jangbi made an epic comeback in game 4 when it seemed like he was about to be eliminated most likely inspired the crowd to root harder for him in game 5.

Truly, BW have far transcended beyond being just a game and this final matchup between Protoss and Zerg fully demonstrates why. The five matches between Jangbi and Zero encapsulated the very metanarrative of the entire PvZ history: from the Anytime's "sashin" style toss in set 1 to mass-hatchery style reminiscent of GGPlay in set 2, from two-gate hardcore build of Reach/mantoss in set 3 to the exciting defensive style of the dreamer Nal_Ra on set 5, and from mass storms epitomized by Jangbi himself to finally the unlikely and ultimate victory led by zertaul of protoss over the zerg -- it seems that in Broodwar, like in physiology, phylogeny recapitulates ontogeny.
Kim Carrier's tears is fully justified in the face of such sublime profundity and drama demonstrated in this final, glorious display of Broodwar. Why do people think that using rare words for the sake of it is cool, I will always wonder. Pity because the pompous shell apart, I really agree. I don't think the OSL last PvZ serie could have been any better.
Reading it again, it does sound "pompous" but it was not intended to be -- and I think the intent is what counts.

I just watched set 4. HOLY SHIT. (yes, caps are appropriate.)
I think I'll actually cry after this OSL final.

sweet jesus this was an amazing series...

Probably, but the only thing you get while reading someone are the actual words, not the intention Now that I read it again, mine sounded a bit aggressive.

And I thought I'd never post again, but my goodness Jangbi. You are awesome!
What a thoroughly great series that was.
|
JangBi!!! I'm so happy he won this one! :D F*ck yeah, keep it on!

Set 4... how is that possible?

Just watched the games. Not bad.
A fitting PvZ BoX to be the last of all.

It was directed at Blizzard, Kona's right. Not you at all lol, quite a misunderstanding. And just for the record, I don't hide behind the internet or flame people on forums (unless they're trolling BW). I'm never hidden. Just regular EleGant[AoV], who hates Blizzard's ugly, grabby, false PR rubbish and wants them all to disappear.
