It's more of a style counter than anything else, but it certainly made for a very amusing tiebreaker. I think free practiced mostly vT because he had to win his game against Mind in order to get tiebreakers at all, and I imagine he just thought he'd wing it somehow against an out of shape Jangbi. Jangbi, on the other hand, kept winning against Free because he didn't think he'd stand a chance vs. an in-shape Mind, so he must've practiced only PvP! If I'm right, then free had the hardest gamble, because winning PvT that consistently against Mind (remember what he's famous for?) is no easy thing to do. After seeing the tiebreakers I was quite confident that free had a real chance at winning the whole thing... but then I saw that he's up against Mong in Ro8. Anyway, I'm happy for free! I was kinda sad that Jangbi didn't make it through, but then I saw the brackets, and Mind vs. Last leaves me with a great sense of satisfaction, as I will get to see that cheeser get the shit beat out him.  | ||

Free rolled over Mong in KSL like its nothing, i can see free in the semis already. | ||
