sAviOr was a god, i disagree with all the JAEDONG = NEW SAVIOR! shit purely becuase of how solid he was, he was a fucking rock. nothing ever hurt him, there was very few who even came close and when everyone thought "omg midas could do it!! he could beat DA MAESTRO!!!" He said "Just watch game 3" That game 3 on hitchhiker was fucking rape. it was R-A-P-E one sided rape. The first game was close and amazing, i dont remember the 2nd game. the third game made people think "...We thought he had a chance..?"

Jaedong never gave me that feeling of invicibility that savior did, the one thing that made me think he was good was that awesome move on katrina vs stork with the muta lure perfect clone ---> rape. Besides that flash stepped up and beat him down with cheese and strait up play. sAviOrs prime would of made that shit a joke.

Not to discredit how amazing he is at ZvT, but watching jaedong play is amazing its makes you realize how all ZvT and ZvZ should be played, and his ZvP is nice. But i guess i cant explain it with logic without droning on and on with rampant fanboyism, so i will just say he never gave me the bonjwa feeling that savior did. The feeling of unrelenting dominance.

yeah i agree with u too...
but that might be due to the further advancement of the near-perfection of the progamers these days ~_~

the savior era showed another level in the zerg game, and the end of the savior era marked the coming of all counter-savior strats (super fast tech 1 fact 1 port move out asap Terran play) and bisu build of course

So does this mean that Jaedong is out of the whole tournament already?

I'm 99% sure we will never ever see a bonjwa of savior's magnitude again. Ever.

JD and Casy out. This is a saddening event for me. The only player I have left to root for this OSL is Bisu.

The worst part is just how much stronger this group was than any o fth eothers. 3 OSL champions. 3 out of 4!

Uhm.. why even bother arguing about this, if a terran loses to a zerg on that map on pro level, it's because he sucks monkeyballs or walks with a blindfold over hold lurkers while he falls off his chair and breaks his arm..

Go back ho!

GG play.

etc.

Kinda disappointing start as always to the OSL.

I got my hopes up after seeing that genius play by Casy vs JD, now I'm just so miserably disappointed. If either JD or Casy had advanced it would have been okay, but seriously? I was never really a fan of GGplay but Backho? WTF!

I want to blame Backho but Casy just seemed plain suicidal in that last game.

Perhaps my message has been misunderstood:
2 gate proxy is pretty fucking gay and it can beat the top tier players on occasion no matter how large the skill gap.

Me too i like jaedong but he just doesnt give me the same feeling as when watching savior in his prime. Just like flash too. Flash is good too but somethings just missing. Something different from nada and oov.

Well when i watched JD in the Bo5 vs Flash and then the MSL final vs KAL , i was sure that after early to middle game after geting mutas vs terran or securing 3 gases he can't be stoped .Jaedong could lose a game or two to cheeses or agresive rush builds , but in a Bo5 i easly bet him for favourite.This OSL will be a terrible miss for Jaedong , the only solid zerg looks GGplay in the OSL but he often takes greedy expansions that gets scouted and destroyed and loses horribly

i think Flash has a chance. considering his age and how godly he is already playing sc for only 3years.
