Yeah, Best just steam rolled people out of no where. The funny part is that a lot of the times the micro was subpar.

Despite that, JangBi showed better result than BeSt. So JangBi still superior.

Jangbi certainly has much better results than BeSt (and I like him more). But Jangbi was never dominant; I don't get the vibe of fear that 2007 Bisu, 2008 Jaedong/Flash, mid-to-late 2008 BeSt (except vZ, doh), late-2008 to mid-2009 Bisu, mid-2009 to 2011 Flash, or 2012 Fantasy gave off. I'd put Jangbi's force at perhaps about the same level as fOrGG in Arena MSL: just beat the best players in the world, but doesn't have that... aura.
Hell, Stork was never a dominant player either; he was damn good, and a true threat to take games off anyone and to win championships--just like Jangbi--but neither of them could really instill fear in anyone but Terrans (and certainly every Terran but Flash and Fantasy cried when they had to play Stork/Jangbi outside of their slumps.)

Jaedong raped 2008 all the year, his record is way better than Best. I doubt Best was relevant at all.
Even JangBi record is better, and he made it to 2 finals.

I know this is kind of old but where in the twitch replay can i see grrr.... and elky? Lol bias

BeSt was the best Protoss by far for a good 5 months or so (starting with his OSL finals run, until Stork beat him in Incruit, basically.)
Jangbi has probably been "the best" Protoss for the last 6 months or so, but Bisu has been very close... and Jangbi has been less scary in PL than Bisu.
Note I'm saying this as an SKT antifan, so I don't think I'm that biased... XD

I agree that Jangbi didn't have that aura of OP'ness that the others had. Well said

Did you guys know that
Fantasy had a 82% winrate in 2012
Flash had a 70% winrate in 2012
and Jangbi had a 58% winrate in 2012
I just find it a little strange.

Did they release the finals recap yet? Considering this was the last OSL I pray that one is in the works if I haven't missed it.

The favoritism was evident during the games themselves. The SC2GG group, after two swift July wins, claimed July couldn't hold a candle to Best in a macro game. I believe the term "straight up" was used. Then the 30-minute macro spankfest ensued and Best was swept clean.
Still one of my favorite finals.
