*Note: I apologize for using only Casy for this OPs banner. My love for him is endless. I respect deeply both Kwanro and GGplay, but the neo-emperor is the real highlight of this group
Bwah! Guys! Really? Casy will 2 - 0 everyone in his group. Casy will teach kwanro the true definition of being kwanrolled. Stork slumping managed to beat kwanro, and as long as Casy doesn't get dq, he will win.
After hearing from idra that is very strong and has a great management game but has yet to fully display it, I will now watch him with expectation.
If kwanro lost, GGplay is sexy lategame zvt, I definately think he is stronger lategame zvt then casy is. The question is will he prepare for the obvious rush and/or mech opening from casy And will his terrible mutalisk micro lose him the midgame.
kwarno vs ggplay isn't a contest imo, kwanro has the zerg micro of the new age and as much as I like ggplay, he just doesn't.

We are waiting almost 2 years for Kwanro "to have a day" in individual tournament

I love them both.
Unfortunately YellOw's chances in the finals against Chojja wouldn't have been great at all. I feel really bad about YellOw losing Olympus OSL, that one was his. Shinhan, not so much.

also dont forget the fact that a zvz final would be boring as hell
Kwanro has been on fire lately, but Casy's TvZ is still superb and the last time they played Kwanro got manhandled, though that was quite awhile ago. I think Casy should take this 2-1, probably dropping a game on outsider. GGplay is pretty bad right now and shouldnt beat anyone.
I have a feeling GGplay will take this again, he always manages to qualify for OSL no matter what. But the poor guy has Carpel T.T. Hope he manages to qualify.

Its also a disadvantage as his builds are revealed, which doesnt work too well wtih mech, and if he plays Bio hell get raped in the ass if he faces GGplay.
KWANROLLLLL? Sweet. Return of the KingNeo-Emperor? Awesome. GGPlay plays his ass off and beats one of these guys? The STARS fan in me will be doing funky dances.
I predict Kwanro, rooting for Casy.
EDIT: And by "rooting for" I mean "liquibetted in a fit of fan-overdrive". Don't fail me now!
Because Kwanro and Casy have both been playing unexpectedly well lately, this group is an exciting one!
I like Casy > GGPlay, but unfortunately I think Kwanro is going to win and then play some fail ZvZ. Don't be surprised if GGPlay somehow limps his way into another OSL.
ggplay used to be really strong, but so was casy back in his time. havent seen them playing lately so its hard to tell who will win. but i guess casy. <3 terran!

actually to even qualify for this casy is doing well, beating tempest 2-0. And he played a great game vs Roro a few weeks ago. His vZ play is always good, so I dunno about that analysis.
Completely understand the OP being so Casy centered, he's so awesome. Give us some more 1-base kickass play plx. I just hate the fact that he has to play the Kwanroller because he gets much love from me as well. Should be some high action games for sure. Don't care about GGplay though, despite his sick management play (which we haven't seen for quiiiite a while).
I like all these guys =( I really want GGPlay to become the force he once was. Kwanro is awesome cuz he's a Pikachu. And Casy is ACE and does awesome bio tvz. So torn, but ended up voting Kwanro.
This has probably been asked a million times before, so I apologize beforehand, but does anyone know the title of the song playing during the current OSL intro? I mean the short intro that goes for about 10 seconds before they switch to some rock song and show the players.

you mean Kelly Clarkson - my life would siuck without you?
I think casy is really going to struggle after that opening this game. Letting the ling in early and losing that valk really hurt. Not to mention the loss of the wraith too easily.
Edit: sure enough as I post this casy's army gets raped, game over
i like kwanro a lot his aggressiveness is awesome but i like zvt much more and having only zergs this osl is a shame so go casy all those anti zergs players that specializing in killing zergs and not much else are gone pity light was awful firebathero is gone slumping in the mud hopefully casy will show us something else here i really dont want to see a zvz between kwanro and ggplay

I find it extremely hard to believe that this strategy outperformed standard Terran bio in practice. Do ACE's Zerg players just not know how to counter the valk build?

A lot of terran players have been using this build, apparently it's a lot more effective in practice than televised matches..
I really hope terran players stop using this bio-valk build soon, watching them try to hold off 2 hatch muta with a valk and a few turrets is just depressing.
Casy played terrible.... He didnt even know the basic bos or how to deal with the 2hat, he built a wraith for no reason, he had a shop for no reason, and he didnt time turrets properly or put them in proper positions.

not his fault if he's the only one who can make mech work..:p
iono that wasn't the fantasy build
casy went 1 rax CC -> mech... which gets completely owned by 2hatch muta. The timings are horrible, you can barely get turrets up before mutas are in your base and you might be able to squeeze out one goliath, with one valk on the way. Not a good build imo
I find it extremely sad that both games could have had a better outcome for Casy if he had just built a couple more turrets early on. It would have led to more valks surviving which means a critical mass of valks would develop to the mid game and make kwanro waste gas on millions of scourge or force a hydralurk build.

hmm the timing is not so bad, casy just had horrible turret placement in his main

O sorry lol, the lrs made it look like normal 1 base mech........
which actually gets overrun my 2 hatch muta as seen in the previous games and during the last osl finals.
