yeah that was cocky.

My previous post where i said Yellow raping Nameless 3-0, i dont really mean it. In fact i think Nameless could win if that match occurs.
I voted zergman too, he seems in form lately...

A Casy/Jju final could almost halfway make up for rA's exit to OSL
To be honest, I'm more interested in Jju's ZvT than I am in Casy's TvZ

Some more interesting facts:

Casy (the #5 seed), is the only seed left in the tournament.
Of the 2 big-name teams (SKT and KTF) that had the highest representation at this tournament; SKT (BoxeR, Oov, Midas, Rainbow, GoRush), KTF (GooDFriend, Sync, Yellow, ChOJJa, Nal_rA) KTF has two players remaining (ChOJJa and YellOw) while SKT is totally out of the tourney.
The three teams with the least represenation; Lecaf (ShinHwA), CJ (IriS), and SouL (Child) still have two players in the tournament.
The only team without a sponsor (KOR) still has two out of three players still in the tournament, and Cloud had to face against his own teammate. Casy and YellOw[Name] remain.
Samsung Khan, though heavily underrated has sneaked two out of their three players into the Elite 8 as well. ZergMaN and JJu have far outperformed what was expected (or what I expected) of them.
Groups B and D from the 24 player groups have nobody playing in the Elite 8.

I find this Zerg imba OSL faskinating.

Why do you even need to ask this? Boxer is the heart and soul of this entire thing, always has been, always will be. 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

I am not bashing boxer, I really have respect for all he did for broodwar.
Although I see this like a sportsman: I want the best to win

And sorry, boxer doesn't seem to be the best imho, after that horrible loss against shinwha.

Exactly, Boxer made the game what it is today, and no one has a right to knock or anything. And this has not only been directed at polarwolf, people on a lot of forums like to bash him.

I agree, I even said in the Liquibet post that Shinhwa probably practiced himself to death for the match, but I don't think we can say the same for Boxer.

But still, he's BOXER. He can come back and win a best of 5 after being down 2 games on his weakest match up or he can lose to a Zerg that everyone considers to be second rate. You don't ever know what he's going to do, that's why I love him

I know you weren't bashing him polarwolf, but alot of people here like to since I guess it makes them look like they know what they're talking about. It's sickening

err I think boxer seriously underrated his opponent by attempting to cheese x3, instead of going a straight up tactic like he did vs Jju and the other zergs. but then again, shinhwa countered with his own little cheese so....hmm

i actually think boxer would be under-rating his opponent more if he DIDN'T prepare special builds on every map and planned on winning it through basic mechanics

then again all i know is he definitely didn't plan on facing 9pool >_<

*** SPOILER BELOW ***

The two potential royal roaders are out.

We have 2 Zerg veterans in YellOw and ChOJJa
A semi-veteran JJu
Casy is in his second straight Final 4 OSL.

I dont know if anyone else feels like me but after the group stage I found it hard to follow this OSL. Maybe it was an overload of matches or some players disappointing me in the wildcard or 16round but I havent felt like watching any games since Yellow vs GF. I just read about them and go "Hm thats nice." : [
