Casy plays his best when he is up against a wall it seems. Not enough history to tell, but Casy always is best when it seems bleak.. Oov series was a great demonstration as is his upgraded play after wildcards. So Zergman is going down imo, cuz when Casy is up against a wall, he is a whole new player. Zergman... no. Not Finals material and won't get past Casy even. Yellow is Yellow, along with Chojja, these two should feel most comfortable up there, although Yellow may have his own demons to face down. ShinHwa won't make it. He is no noob, he may even become a regular top 8 one day, but that day isn't nowadays. Yellow Name... now this guy COULD royal road.. but I really don't want another Royal Road so I am gonna root against him with all my heart, but this guy is one wicked good rookie. Iris... Iris... why are you so hard to predict? CJ team is showing good shape and form of late, and Xellos is back in shape. Savior is as always on fire... If anything, Iris has GREAT teammates to help him boost w/ practice... but it's so hard to tell with this guy. | ||

Casy-I'm not truly all impressed with Casy. He has shown that he can play well, I just don't think he'll make it this go round. He isn't too much of a realtive newcomer, as I remember him playing in Gilette. Zergman-He's got some potential, one of the two really talented Samsung zergs. Not too much creative play that I remember ever seeing from him, and his macro and micro aren't noteworthy Yellow-Old school gamer that many say deserves to win. Not so sure if he can get it this year, as the talent in the remaining of this Starleague is seriously underrated. Shinhwa-Somewhat impressive newcomer, not the best one that I see. Has decent potential in my opinion. Iris-Realtively good, solid player. Apparently, after the series against Rock, he can read his opponent well, preparing for cheese in both games. Chojja-Another old schooler. I don't see him winning though. JJu-Old schooler that might be the only one I can see winning this OSL. He has been around since Starcraft was made. Yellow[name]-Really impressed by this young player. He has the strategy (as demenstrated in his game against Oov) and his mechanics are really nice. I can see him lifting the crown if his untested ZvZ is good enough. Predictions: Casy>Zergman Yellow>ShinHwa, but it pains me to say that Chojja>Iris, this could go either way JJu>Yellow[Name], whoever wins this has the best chance of winning the final, I'll go Jju for the first game, but if Yellow[Name] wins the first game impressively, I won't go against him. | ||

Yellow[name] is not too inexperienced to win a ZvZ vs Jju, Yellow, or Chojja. This kid is a total phenom. We're talking same quality as Savior, though a player of very different, almost opposite style (if Savior is the new Gorush, Yellow[name] is the new July). Casy IS good TvZ, but probably WILL NOT make it. Zergman seems to have his number cold. Just because Zergman is not a top 5 Zerg DOES NOT mean he can't have the number of a very good TvZ player. Zergman is SERIOUSLY UNDERRATED, ESPECIALLY in ZvZ. He is proclaimed by others to be "invincible" in ZvZ in practice games. If a progamer says that about you, then you've got to be pretty fucking good. If Testie or Midian proclaimed me "invincible," then it really wouldn't matter what any of you thought about me -- I would be fucking good. Listen to people who know the game -- stop assuming you know it better than those who rape you. Honestly, with the sudden improvement of Zergman's form, my gut is telling me that the reason for his poor performances up until only recently was due to stage fright, nothing more. Yellow has amazing ZvZ, but while he has a decent shot at making the finals, I'm not so sure he has great odds of winning it. Just a hunch, but he's facing so much underrated competition. Yellow is in very good form right now though, so maybe I will be wrong. Shinhwa should not be underrated, though to be honest, I've always felt like he's more of a ZvP player. Maybe I'm just crazy. Iris has beautiful mechanics. He honestly does have a good shot at going all the way, but beating CHojja is quite a challenge right now, and even if he manages that, if he has to face Yellow[name], I can't see him moving on. Yellow[name] is just a stud. Chojja is the favorite to win this. Look at all those ZvZ's! Look at Chojja's ZvZ record! Do I need say more???? Jju, oh Jju. This dude is the real wildcard of the tournament. He doesn't seem to be a very consistent player, but when he's on, he's on. He could win this tournament, and he really does deserve it. | ||

Neither is Zergman. I don't dislike Zergman, I honestly liked him since his Gamei Romp when Muta/Lurk was a new concept and he was raping even Tosses with that shit... KT MGW Zergman... But I think Casy's up against the wall playing abilities are a different thing. -_-;; I'm a hopeless fan.... | ||

It seemed like he was finally able to relax, but then shinwah had to be an ass, and brought him back to reality. Damn progamers and their fierce competition. It ruins the spirit of the game I tell ya. | ||

We all know that there are roamings that this was Boxer's OSL, they changed the format so that he was able to get a spot. He probably just would have had to play against Zerg on his way to the title, and that's his speacilty. BUT HE LOST, SO HE DOES NOT DESERVE TO WIN. ROVAL ROAD!!!! | ||

He's precious to everyone that appreciates this games for what it is - entertainment, fun, excitement, drama, ect While I'm not talking directly to polarwolf, I'll never understand why people bash Boxer. It's like kids who bash the Final Fantasy series. They don't know how good it is because they've been spoiled by the current technology. I think it's the same for progaming, people are forgetting everything Boxer has done because they've been spoiled rotten by how much better players are today and how much more developed progaming has become | ||
