july -- very exciting player. candidate for the golden mouse. a legend making a comeback

best -- hottest protoss player. candidate to be hottest player period
luxury -- took down the hottest player and is now forced to overcome his weak ZvP. reminiscent of jaedong storyline, when jaedong had to face stork who was a hot protoss player at the time.

really strong final four in my opinion. i dont know how a person can't find someone in those four to support. 4 completely different players each with something to offer the fans to identify with


I hope there are no cheeses from now on. I was surprised to see Best cheese Stork in the group stages. Does Best fear Stork will ruin his chances, so he rather cheese to win? also does Jangbi fear Stork will knock him hard, that he cheese in the tiebreakers? It is annoying to see a lot of cheese games lately. It sucks to be see many cheese games and games are so short. Jaedong was furious when Flash cheesed in Blue Storm in GSI quarter finals. It was so painful for jaedong. SUX!!!!!!!!!

Well, Best and Backho might use cheese in one of their games in their semis. i have that slight feeling, but i may be wrong.

Cheesing doesn't necessarily mean player is scared of opponent's skill. I doubt Best feared Stork and I doubt Jangbi feared Stork.

Sometimes you have to vary your play, otherwise opponents will always predict that you go "normal" or "standard."

Well player cheeseing from time to times is good actually but when you see one player getting cheesed all the time it sucks . Thats why i think that JD needs to humiliate them with something should he win . Like the game Kwanro vs Really to carve a fear of not cheesing him ever again .I think at least Lucifer learnt his lesson .

well, at the moment i would prefer straight up games than cheeses. probably i got annoyed seeing so many cheese games this 2 months. too many cheeses rush spoils the fun and quality of games.

haha, so true. I think from now on, many zerg players will scout even earlier with their 6th drone of 7th drone to counter cheese rushes. Protoss like Bisu scout very early and although pulling a probe or drone early to scout slows down the economy, i think it is worth it. At least you can discover proxy barracks or gateway. do i sound reasonable or just nonsense?

No, i think it is Best vs Luxury semi A. July vs Backho Semi B. Before this semis, we are entertained by Hwasin vs Jaedong Msl Quarter Final group A.

Lololol, July can do a Casy and win without playing his weakest mactchup.

Props to Sumo Zerg though. Good to see him still punching after so many years.

I'm shocked Flash couldn't take 1 game from Lux though. Some very fine ZvT.

Remember, July had to walk over Mind and Frozean to get here, so he definitely had stiff competition in the ZvT department.

So, anybody else think a July vs. Luxury finals would be pimp?

They've already got that nasty rivalry going over the Ro16 group picks. Either victory would have some sort of poetic justice.

it might sounds weird but PvP is my favorite MU to play and watch so I'm very excited about Best vs BackHo.

July burying both brothers while claiming a golden mouse is such a Tushin thing to do.
I don't see how anyone can take away Best's OSL now.

Luxury is weakest ZvP.
July... hrmmm.
Backho, LOL, not vs Best.

I do love the final four though. From group stages, this OSL has been a lil nuts.
FINALLY. FINALLY.

I hope the semis+ produce good games. And I also hope Best doesn't blow out the finals 3-0. That would be =(

Exactly.

You have to be able to mix up your strats in order to succeed.

No one hit wonders here.
