1. Navigate to www.youku.com 2. Enter the names of the players in the search box, i.e. "jaedong effort" 3. The second "order-by" link from the left is the one to order them by date. Click it 4. Look for OSL or 24-6 somewhere in the description.
Worked quite well for me... (maybe because it's night in china now)
How big is Starcraft in China to have commentators on the game as it's being played? It seems like just from this that Chinese community is bigger than English speaking community.
Edit: Just watched Bisu vs Gogo game, they shook hands after the match backstage. So I'm inclined to believe like FBH the bm stuff is just for show. They also hugged briefly. Missed that.
WTS Fanboi tears, no, but really, /pat You'll need your tears for tonight. I mean, I know Bisu blows at TvP and he's good at PvP, but really? Free and JB? Gl on that one, he can't even beat go.go.

That proxy CC crap is getting old - I really hope go.go is crushed by the rest of his group.
In Go.go's defense he had a legitimate reason to do it this time.
which is..?
Bisu called him "Insurance" during the group stages. Like an easy win?
If someone said that to me and then I beat them you can be sure I'd taunt them if I could.
Why do people keep saying this? Backho said go.go was his insurance, not Bisu..
Bisu was really well mannered during the group selection..
Huh? Translated right when Bisu said "I picked Go.go for insurance."
then go.go picked Hwasin because "Bisu is doing so well I need insurance too."
I mean that was straight from Konadora as it happened so.. lolll
Please link to where konadora said this.
Bisu never put down go.go.
Actually Bisu didnt really call go.go insurance. Its just that he picked go.go so that he would have it easy in the ro32. Of course, go.go knows why Bisu picked him. If I was being underestimated like that and I actually won the game I would be a little BM too. lol.
Just for clarification, here's the translation from the OSL group selection when bisu picks go.go (thanks to http://koreanprosc.com/?p=312):
Carri – Go.go… Um – Go.go might pick Canata to put the two players from T1 in the same team! For a team-kill scenario! Caster – you trust Go.go? Bisu – yes, he’s nice and good at games and help me with practice, so he wouldn’t do that! Caster – Go.go, nice and good at games and help me with practice? You’ll spare Bisu the team-kill scenario? Go.go – no, I have my own mind. I don’t care about Bisu’s. Carri – hm…so when Go.go picks…Canata…and Canata picks…Leta? Caster – Go.go, how did it feel when Bisu picked you? Go.go – in the break room, he acted cute around me, so I didn’t think he will pick me….but I’m in his group now…so I might pick Canata. Caster – why you think he picked you? Go.go – cuz he thinks I’m weak… Um – Go.go is the weakest of all the Terrans present… Bisu – it wasn’t about winning games. I just picked someone I know the most. Caster – well, that’s a lie…look at KeSPA’s ranking! Bisu – the ranking might not be the most accurate…but from the practice I think he is the best Terran. Go.go, you got me? Go.go – I got you… Caster – I don’t know what they got…Bisu, we wanna see you at the final. Bisu – I feel like I’ve been around OSL a lot but lost at the round of 4, but this time I will make it to the final.
Bisu never actually calls go.go "insurance" directly, but his intentions for picking him are quite clear...
There was also an exchange between BackHo and Gogo, each of them calling each "insurance" and even Type-B. Gogo ended up winning a prize for the group selection because of all the "insurance claims".
Why did Bisu decide to go 2 base arbs w/o HTs after his DT rush failed? The rushing distance was quite short and Bisu had no scouting information. Bisu knows way more about timing than anyone here, but I am having trouble envisioning a scenario where this would have been the right choice.

I'm guessing a 2 base Terran pressure build that is low in gol count.

Yes, I can see how Bisu saying that he thinks go.go is the best terran, is the same as calling him insurance.
Honestly, the only thing I can think can remotely be maybe BM, is that Bisu picks go.go, and then Go.go picks Hwasin, and calls Hwasin "Insurance", as if on behalf of Bisu.
Fuck Yeah Sparkyz! Good games, I was really surprised type-b won after losing 30+ ovies. I was thinking "oh this game is so long because Stork likes to take his time and a build up insane advantages before capitalizing on them"... and then BAM! Hydralisks.
EPT
, good job to type b, poor Bisu got a ceremony command center cus he was too cocky, and Canata didn't get KWANrolled
