Was there, rooted for fantasy the whole way so sad to see jangbi win. Really hard to not burst into tears at the end after the games...

Sick experience. Absolutely amazing. And there'll be nothing like it ever again.

Jangbi smiling at the camera and his victory fist in the air gives me chills down my spines everytime. That image was the perfect closure for the OSL. So happy that he won :''')

Watched the games the other day. Loved every minute of them, they were very intense.

Feel sad for Fanta, he was a good player, but only ended up with a single title. Comparing the two careers before this final, I would have said that of the two of them Fanta deserved a 2nd major win more. Jangbi's awesome comeback from how terrible he was to a back to back OSL winner is a great storyline though.

Just can't believe it's over. =/

Glad that this was a part of my life. GGs all.

Really sucks that there are no more OSL's and all we're left with is the awful hybrid PL. It would have been interesting to see if Jangbi would have continued to dominate and win a gold mouse.

BW is incredible I just hope that the Chinese scene grows not as big but at least near to what we have seen these years in Korea.
There is any way to see all the final tv broadcasting but with the Korean commentary?

Such an incredible spanking, it reminded me so much of the EVER '08 finals, only the sets reversed, but the main point being that the well-groomed and practiced SKT Acer was no match for the ballsy "washed up" veteran's mind games.

Games 3 and 4 were ridiculously one-sided. Jangbi showed high level decision making by exploting the holes in Fantasy's defense with reavers and dark templars. And by elevating units into Fantasy's base as well.

Jangbi's individual unit control was damned good, too.

I know that Jangbi is not the "greatest toss ever," but it warms my heart to see that he wound up with more OSL titles than the toss half of TBLS (Stork and Bisu) combined.

Oh, and a condolence applause for fantasy: 3 consecutive OSL final appearances is no small feat. Two years ago, he also had 3 consecutive semifinal appearances (including two finals).

Factor in his 4 OSL silvers, and that's now two things he's matched Boxer at

To me, the craziest part is what if all those 3-2's he lost were games that he won? It's really scary knowing that he was only three games away from four gold medals...damn..

Oh yeah. In Incruit, he had a puncher's chance to take game 5 against Stork (if only for Stork's inability to scout the 9oclock), and in JinAir, he looked so close to winning in game 5 and then Jangbi went beast mode. So he was really thisclose to 3 golds at least lol

And in Batoo against Jaedong, he just kind of tilted.

Flash is one game away from 3 STRAIGHT OSL golds, and breaking the 3 starleagues curse. 1 GAME AWAY. Now that BW is over, my mind is filled with hundreds of what ifs.

Flash tilted so hard that series that he was playing game 5 at 180 degree angle. He is only human after all.

Fantasy was the one dominating for the last stretch of BW's history, but Jangbi stopped him at the end. He was 28-4 since Proleague began, which is an iloveoov-esque streak, and overtook Flash's spot as best player (who slumped to 60% after getting Dear'd). It's just that he choked hard when it mattered. Jangbi's OSL wins were 11 months apart, so it's not accurate to call him dominating--especially when he went 8-10 in Proleague and was about 60% over the same stretch as Fantasy. So Fanta was the more dominant player over the last months, crushing nearly everyone (had a perfect OSL run, 2 stray Proleague losses), until he lost the finals and put Jangbi in the history books as the last champion.

I don't think there is a requirement that someone dominate BW at all times. As Fanta came out of the last two BW tournies with 0 golds I would hesitate to say he dominated. At the same time I agree with your assessment of Flash and Jangbi, Flash did well in the last real PL but failed in the finals and won no tournaments - clearly did not dominate. Jangbi did win the last two tournies but was was lackluster in PL, I don't think he dominated. Seems to me that after Flash's last MSL victory the scene was not dominated by anyone. Ranking is subjective but I think that since Flash's last MSL I would rank the players:

1) Fanta
1) Jangbi
3) Flash

If push came to shove I think I may give Fanta the edge at the end. Losing twice to Jangbi hurts his case greatly, but he was by far and away the most reliably good player.

Seriously with Flash you never really know.

He is the best player of all time then would get 3-0's by someone or drop from OSL against Classic. I guess he would have absolutely raped Jangbi, but again, I guessed he would raped Jangbi last time too, and I also guessed he would rape Fantasy.

So what I've learnt from Flash: don't guess too much. It's unhealthy. :-)
