hmmm....maybe I should just make a thread to announce the new PR, as usual

Last month some people complained that such a thread was unnecessary...ahh, screw them. I always found the announcement in BW pretty useful as a PR reader


Do it!

JWD's semi-derail almost made me forget this is an OSL threads. Today's games should be pretty good. Most exciting one should be Backho vs type-b, maybe even Bisu vs Zero for the revenge value.

Jaedong should have a field day with Yellow[arnc] but his schedule has been insane lately and unpest wouldn't be improbable. Leta vs Kwanro should be pretty straighforward aswell, because I don't think Kwanro has what it takes to resists Leta's 2 port play.

So: who thinks JD will bomb this game to boot Flash? It's not like he's accepting much risk by entering a tiebreak with two other Zergs.

I don't think he would stoop to that and I don't think he would want to take a chance of losing in a tie-breaker either, even if it is ZvZ.
OTOH, if he plays as atrociously as he did in his last two PL games, he will certainly bomb this game, so...we'll have to see. Hopefully his spell of exhaustion has worn off by now.

Stoop to what? I don't think there's anything dishonorable about capitalizing on the advantage he's earned by going 2-0 in his group...JD's only concern should be getting himself to an OSL Championship, and if that means kicking Flash to saturate the Ro8 field with Zergs then so be it. Plus, there are few things more dramatic or exciting than an underhanded move like throwing a game. I really hope JD goes for it.

Is throwing a game actually a "legal maneuver"? It's not, in most sports.


You must not watch a lot of sports.

And in SC, it's pretty much impossible to tell whether a player throws a game or now. Unless you suddenly see Jaedong driving ferraris and hanging out with the Korean mafia.

It was pretty obvious in the Blizzard Invitational in Germany. Stork was playing against a Chinese PvP, and they both wanted to throw the game (Stork double expoed) by doing stupid micro back and forth and barely attacking each other. Stork went into the opponent's main, was attacking the single pylon that was powering all the gateways, and didn't finish the pylon off when he easily could have. In the end, Stork still won and he had to play against Jaedong.

I wouldn't mind if Yarnc won and brought us some great games later in the tournament. Because chances are he won't unless Jaedong throws... I hope he loses... .

I LOVE U THO YARNC, I JUST LOVE FLASH MORE

I doubt Jaedong would throw his game. In my mind, it would kind of be disappointing to his fans.

The OSL theme song is gay, I wish they had something more aggressive like past seasons.
