July will take it 3-1 and Best will prove he's just like Kal, I believe. Only Bisu with his crazy sair dt multitasking can rival July's play. Without that air-control, zvp is easy :D
Just like kal wtf? If he was just like kal, July would be demolished. Kal has the best pvz out there right now, and is one of the best players in uh....general.
Can you dig it?

Straight up, July walks all over Protoss. There is nothing more to it, his level of play vs P is just outstanding. His game sense is perfect, he knows every possible option that they could pursue and acts clean and casually to it. I really don't think Best can take this, nor do I want him to. This would be beyond epic for someone as old school as July to take the title. He would be showing that he is one of the best Broodwar players of all time, if not the best, period. To win in multi-generational tournaments is amazing, that just means that he can adapt to skill levels and play styles unlike no other player. I am really holding out for this one.

Eh don't just minimalize july's ability with terms like "air control" or Kal = Best.
The flow of ZvP, especially with July, is so amorphous with players. July can pull all sorts of cards for this series, and whether he gets air control or not does not mean its a sure thing.


In fact I think Best / Kal have a bit of difference of style in PvZ. Best has better macro/game sense, kal likes to throw as many punches as possible and hopes to suffocate the enemy into a disadvantage. I agree with FS with "kal sucks", the guy plays dumb every so often.

Nice banner, whoopy.

If July can force his style on Best, Best will lose. If Best can force the mid-game on July, I think Best will win.

Saying that July has really good ZvP isn't really that definitive of a statement to make; he beat Blackho and Rock to get here and both aren't really known for their PvZ. His ZvP might have been really good in the past but in this new era of PvZ it's hard to say with such a small sample size of games.

Best will hopefully arrive at this final prepared to deal with early shenanigans. The final against Luxury should have imprinted into his mind that the earlygame is where he needs to maintain parity against zerg players, so his macromanagement can then crush them. July has managed to beat .. Rock and Backho, who are hardly impressive PvZ, and hence I think there is plenty of room for either player to impose their style on this final.

That said, given July's record against Protoss, it is time for him to lose a Bo5 ZvP. 3:1 for Best, possibly 3:2 if Hwarangdo buggers it up.

I hope July wins because this guy winning the OSL will make ALOT of fans happy, especially the fans that want old schoolers to be dominant again.

I personally wanna see a Sauron Zerg moment on Andromeda

Great thing about July is that everyone knows what's coming early game, yet they still fail to stop it.

July in July.




If Best wins it's just another starleague title to some "guy". But if July wins, boy then we have some real history. The first zerg to win a golden mouse, the second progamer ever to win one, the simple message that says "yes not only nada can do it", the hype and love from fans that had to endure drama and problems with julys future and past finaly pay off.

July has to win this. He absolutly has to. And if he does, it will be a great mark in the history of starcraft progaming.

God Of War. We believe!

nevaaaaaaaar

Golden Mouse means awarding and honouring the best progamer of all times. Nobody besides NaDa should have it. It wouldn't be his unique award anymore. =/
