No man thats the same way i feel, those bw games was so miserable that i couldnt believe. I didnt followed proleague because of low bw quality and hoped for good games at playoffs, cuz i imagined they will put much more time into practice. Sadly SKT1 riuned my hope, im rooting for them to get kicked out of PL.
Day 1 shoulda been 4:0 but Sun was ahead and had a lag wich took him off for 1-2 secs and he lost too much units Anyway Sun is sooo good - he will bounce back in BW and ACE anyone and I mean anyone on this planet for SKT win if it gets there.

Hoped for more? You guys were "parading" T8 beating SKT ezpz and got served by SKT - deal with it! If you don't scout - you lose to cheesy all-in and deal with it also. Evah heared of Da Pimpest Play? Game 2 was the pimpest play of 2012 - enjoy some magic. As for SKT "get kicked out of PL" ==> in your dreams.

I think you cant understand what i wrote. Did u skip the part "I didnt followed proleague" how can i be parading about something that i dont even watch? Game 2 pimpest play of 2012? hahaha good joke dude, u clearly are skt biased troll
I just realized Jaedong, a guy who I have idolized for many years now and who has played a huge role in my life as a role model, may play his last (BW) game tomorrow.

Flash already did, soon Bisu, Fantasy, Stork will follow :-(
In general who thinks that BW part sucked cuz of SKT - you are wrong. OSL Finals sucked cuz of Jangbi who cheezed in 3 out of 4 games? No it's Fantasy who didn't scout/played well enough. Same here - T8 didn't scout/play enough to prevent cheese!

Troll is someone who plans a parade for a team to lose Other way around - you watched nothing and pretend to demand something. SKT and KT delivered one of the best if not the best LAST EVER BW PL FINALS! In UR FACE. This is mixed SC II/BW PL and still pimpest play of 2012 delivered! Name me anything that comes close to PERFECTLY placed pylon to block dragoon and placing a shield battery, then later blocking that dragoon with two zealots. Nothing comes close to what BesT executed under supervision of Boxer.

And latest of all the Keepers of the Rings rode to the Sea, and they took there the ship that Cirdan had made ready. In the twilight of autumn it sailed out of Mithlond, until the seas of the Bent World fell away beneath it, and the winds of the round sky troubled it no more, and borne upon the high airs above the mists of the world it passed into the Ancient West, and an end was come for the Eldar of story and of song.

And then Sam returns to the Shire "Well, I'm back." And while we may have all these great memories, the world seems somehow a bit emptier
Some fan wants coffee or lunch with Bisu, wants to date the womantoss! Fantasy going to wall off with a rax and depots, gas taken too Pool first with gas for Hero
Fact started for Fantasy Lair morphing now Hero has his natural morphing in now Some guys interacting in the audience, looks like they recieved something
Fantasy scouts Hero out Not sure if Hero has scouted Fantasy yet or not Starport being added on now too, Fantasy looks like he wants to take the backdoor mineral only expo for a second, and yes he has a CC started there Vulture out for Fantasy, going to poke at the lings
Wraith out for Fantasy, to snipe overlords Machine shop is up, and researching Hydras almost snipe the wraith, but it lives with 10 hp Ebay done for Fantasy scvs pulled on the bunker already, and a siege tank is ready also 4 lurkers morphing Looks like Fantasy canceled the Academy, and just started an ebay, to get faster detection
Lurkerse burrow infront of the wall, the wall falls and lings are lready to stream in Lurker lin is among the tank line Fantasy's scvs are dissapearing, one tank falls, two left A second tank falls! Only one more left for Fantasy
Fantasy has two wraiths a a ton of scvs to defend his lone tank But no! The tank falls! Two wraiths and a few scvs are fighting back, Fantasy still has mining at his mineral only though
Three vultures run into the hydras streaming across the map Three wraiths though may kill alot of drones with no anti air Hydras vs marine vulture and scv The hydras seem to be winning, and they have Three wraiths vs a few hydras Hero goes for the bust at the front The one missle turret falls, and the lurker postions itself to finish off the bunker
31 supply to 16 at this point Hero in the lead Fantasy microing away some hydras The barracks falls Oh Fantasy, he has his mineral only walled off Going to loes the CC now too Fantasy GG timing, BW wouldn't be complete without it <3
Fantasy could really have made a comeback if he had focused fire properly when having 3 vults 2 rines 1 scv vs the few hydras. Then when harassing with the 3 wraiths, he would have killed the overlords, supply blocking hero enough time to secure the choke at the main.

Not really, that game was a one sided stomp, this game had some good back and forth and it at least looked like Fantasy with the right decision making and micro could have brought that back in his favor.
I really thought fantasy was going to hold when there were suddenly 3 wraiths and 3 vults. And with that small 4-hydra attack (after the main fell), fantasy lost his vultures and marines while the wraiths flew around hero's main looking for an opening. Had he kept the wraiths back with the ground troops, he would have held, and he would have been in not half-bad shape from then on. At least he would've had a chance.
Bison scouts Jaedong first Jaedong adjusts his first overlord to head up to Bison's postion Overpool for Jaedong Bison microing down a drone, almost one hit
Stargate right after the core finishes Bison scouts out the 7 natural, with a zealot, Jaedong pulls the lings to deal with it Second cannon added Four hydras moving out, looks like a hydra bust Citadel is done now
One corsair headed down to scout Jaedong's main Hydras move out of the way to avoid the scout Three more cannons being added, as well as a second pylon Two hydras get picked off by cannons, now all but two hydras survive Jaedong WTF
lol at Sayle making the game sound like it was actually good. Kind of stopped paying proper attention when I realized JD was just gonna go for a hydra bust in what's likely his last game. But at least we'll have a game 3--
Ssak's pretty hit and miss but if he's on he's capable of beating anybody in TvT. Baby's definitely favoured but hopefully today's trend of upsets continues.
One port for Baby, fact also has a machine shop Double port for Ssak without control tower Baby unable to get a scout into the main of SSak Ebay for Baby Two wraiths flying over towards Baby One vulture gets a single scv kill from the natural Control tower researching cloack for wraiths Ebay is getting denied
Acad done for SSak Control tower is up and flashing for SSak Turrets started for Baby in the mineral lines Tank out for Baby Quite a few scvs fall for Baby Wraiths pull back SSak has academy but no comsat jus yet Baby also has his natural running for awhile, SSak just has his started
Nevermind Baby tries to deny the CC at the nat, but SSak has a scan ready Both ports of SSak are idle now, 4 are cloaking and run head first into a turret One tank is getting pew pew pewd It gets picked off SSak's own tank wanders into two vultures
Armory up for both players Second fact on the way for Baby Second machine shop added for Baby, and a research on the other one two valkyries and a few wraiths for Baby Baby going wraith hunting
Siege lines being formed, Baby going to attempt to split the map SSak sieging up the center of the map htough Baby wants to take a third Baby almost loses a valk, does lose a wraith though
Fantasy is very happy now Third base of Baby is getting denied Natural forced to lift Baby's forced getting killed, his forward forces left behind Baby getting contained Looks like an attempt at a bust Third CC about half way done for SSak
Baby needs to break this contain 94-110 supply SSak ahead and climbing forward Dropship on Baby headed into SSak's nat, drops three vultures, one vulture in the main
Well I took off for a moment Looks like Baby has three base SSak has four bases 113-158 SSak in the lead Baby gets two vultures into the 3 oclock Cloaked wraiths fly over Baby's dropships, pick off one, fully loaded and a few wraiths die for that 108-163
SSak going to expand everywhere now, 1 nat, setting up turrets at the 11 oclock to deny ddrops, he's going to take the 11 oclock too I think Baby setting up quite a few dropships Goiung to push through the northern portion of the tank line The wraiths pew pew pewing away at the tanks 2-0 for Ssak, 1-0 for Baby

Not yet, they still have a chance. They need to win the SC2 sets and then the ace match to move into day 3. If they lose the SC2 sets then it's over for T8.

Yes I know that ^^ I was being sarcastic and depressed at the same time.
gate gas for Bisu Rax and depot to wall off the top of the ramp for Sea Sea going to scout outright cross postions, or take the seeing tower Bisu scouts Sea
Marines moving towards the seeing tower Robo being added Bunker done at the nat for Sea Bisu has center map control Ebay being added, stim researching Forge and tripod building being added
Citadel being added, tripod on the map Bisu taking a third now Flying pylon on the way for Bisu Marine life upgrade, and healing dropships getting pumped
+1 attack for Bisu now, zealot legs and templar archives too Bisu keeps adding gates, I think ~10 at this point +1 armor on the way for Sea Storm for Bisu too scv going to scout the flying pylon headed towards Sea's nat
8 gates for Bisu Flying Pylon speed is upgrading aa ships going to kill off the flying pylon Storm about done, zealot legs are done Third for Bisu is done Ghost acad on the way as is armory +2 armor for Bisu
11 gates for Bisu now +2/+2 on the way for Sea Flying pylon in the third of Sea Four zealots warped in and will net a single scv kill, thats it Bisu going to push, but Sea is hitting from both sides The single tripod falls Bisu taking sizeable loses here
Sea cleans up the flying pylons +2 attack for Bisu upgrading Bisu expanding to a fourth base Another tripod getting built, one on the field already Fourth CC for Sea, but no 3/3 yet
Bisu's fourth is getting poked into Sea kiting back and away from the zealots 2/2 is done for Bisu +3 armor on the way Another flying pylon headed into the main Two aa ships going to intercept, but no, the flying pylon flys right by Bisu's fourth gets picked off
More and more zealot harass at all of the bases No tripod range just yet Fourth being retaken again by Bisu Sea finally starts +3 attack Fourth for Sea is up at the 12 oclock
Bisu wants to hit the fourth of Sea CC lifts Huge storms on the army of Sea Storms on the aa ships and the bio army Sea has almsot nothing left Ghosts get fed back as they pop out GG from Sea
Jaehoon taking a slightly later, probably normal timed second gas Jaehoon time warping out a few dtGoons Best going for one gate robo Best has a groundArbiter on the ramp Jaehoon picks off the groundArbiter, and only loses a zealot
Two more dtGoons headed to the nat of Best Jaehoon loses two of the dtGoon's, for a zealot and groundArbiter bigGoon out for both players Second gate finally being added for both players
Tripod building finishes for Jaehoon Two bigGoons for Jaehoon One for Best, and a tripod Best pushing up the ramp of Jaehoon Robo getting targeted down GG from Jaehoon
Baby definitely dropped the ball in the playoffs, but I don't know why Jaedong had to play like that in the BW set considering he'd roll Sun with his mechanics...
on top of all this Sea has been kind of unmotivated for the better part of at least 2 seasons, and since Tyson's run on MBC he hasn't proven much.

JD of BW only yes but BW/SC II - no way he's the same. Sun in BW was mediocre but in BW/SC II he's the best player of his team and possible whole Kespa now.
I have a bad feeling that somehow SKT is gonna find their way into the final and win again =/
It seems that everything is coming together for them at the right time. Rain is one of the two best Kespa players at SC2, Fantasy has been in good form all season and it seems like Bisu has finally learned how to SC2.
This was a bad loss. SKT played really well, as usual, but you could ask for more from T8. We are not winners, that is the problem. Just look at Baby. What a wonderful player. Mechanics, control, multi-tasking. But he can't win. Sea is the same. It looks like they don't want to win How can he manage to lose against Bisu after playing better the whole game? (Not to take anything away from Bisu.) They are too afraid to lose.
And Jaedong is just too old. He has lost his edge a long time ago. He is a spectacular player, but he can't handle the role he's got in this team. He can't be the only player with killer instinct and guts. And if this doesn't change I don't see him continue playing very long. What should happen, it's obvious in my opinion, is that Baby takes a much more important role in the team. But he is too weak mentally.
It's a team of losers.
You also have to question that there is no drafting system in Proleague. The strong teams (those with good financial backing) just have more depth and the gap has been widening over the years between the 'small' teams (OZ, eSTRO, STX, Wemade, Woongjin...) and the rich teams (SKT, KTF/KT and, behind these two, Khan and CJ).

They have drafts...I believe its not nhl/nfl style draft but its still a draft and last year (at least) one of the better players opted to go to one of the worse teams to try to have more play time (if my memory doesnt fail, a good terran went to stx refusing skt?). There is maybe a gap between some teams but it is not as huge as you sound....6 teams could go in this year, depending on the last day. Thats a pretty tight race if you ask me.

yeah i remember 10+ sentries against terran of two base and not landing any good forcefields
BW games =/ The players are probably 95%+ into SC2 and it shows. At least Bisu isn't looking as bad at SC2 anymore.
SKT too good at playoffs, can they give others a chance or something? See this is why I sorta hoped that SKT wouldn't make it this time - as much as I support my man Fantasy, I thought that a no-KT or SKT in playoffs situation would be better for shaking up Proleague.
I don't have much hope in CJ - they're the playoffs chokers, and making it past playoffs-SKT and beating down Khan? Really doubtful to me. Maybe they can turn it around this time - Effort owning everyone would be pretty cool.
T8 was supposed to be in the final =/ Hell Stars with their crazy good win differential was supposed to be here too, but I guess shit happens, especially when all qualifying teams have the same score.
Though this will at least be better than another fucking KT vs SKT. So good that KT didn't make it and I most definitely like the way KT failed, so I guess that still works.
I'm probably a couple of weeks too late to complain about all this though.
