When we asked Savior what his dreams are, he gave us a shocking response. His goal itself seemed fairly obvious, but it was what he said afterwards that surprised us.

Savior: Right now, the thing I want the most is to win the Proleague under the CJ Entus name. Oddly enough, during the period that I was responsible for the team's performance, we could never win the Proleague trophy. It's still something I regret a lot.

On the other hand, if I had won the Proleague during the "Bonjwa" phase of my career, I might have been retired by now. I might have thought that I had achieved everything I could as a progamer, and made a rash decision. The reason I'm still playing now is because I hadn't won the Proleague.

So right now, I want to win at Gwanganri (the beach in Busan that is the location of the Proleague finals). Not somewhere else, it must be at Gwanganri. Every progamer wants to step on the stage at Gwanganri.

This season is so important to me for that reason. I truly want to win at the stage at Gwanganri.

We were shocked to hear the word 'retirement' come from Savior's mouth. Coach ForU, who was sitting next to us, was also very surprised. Looking around and seeing our reactions, Savior gave us an embarrassed laugh saying "It was just a thought I had, don't get the wrong idea," and laughed again.

Maybe this loss is CJ's way of saying Savior don't leave us T.T

good points there, that is pretty good wost case scenario. OZ did a great job in preping the players for there games. If It does go to super ace, maybe they wont send out Effort but some curve ball like Skyhigh or Movie.

I wonder if JD is working on any zvt or zvp????

still if OZ plays like they did today, there wont be a super ace

I don't think JD does practice his ZvZ... He's just a monster tbh :\. Only terran gives him any trouble.

CJ has already lost. Even if they 4-0 next week they'll still lose to Jaedong in the Super Ace.

While all players practice for their matches, Jaedong can just simply practice for a match against Effort/Skyhigh on Neo Medusa. He doesn't even need to bother practicing for his match against Orion XD

To make things better for Oz, Jaedong's schedule is now free so he can practice with no pressure. His next scheduled game is on next Friday (assuming Oz wins tomorrow)

you mean tomorrow right?

i'm liking Oz's chances with a super prepared jaedong though. He's already been practicing for EffOrt, and he's probably not going to waste time practicing for Orion, so I feel that he will have a lot of time to prepare for possible super-ace's against skyhigh or movie (LOL)

You mean long, back and forth macro wars? Then no. Most games were pretty clean cut.

Terran gets 3 bases really easily and super fast upgrades. The bases are also easy to defend against recalls. It doesn't matter how much Protoss can expand. If they don't execute the first attack flawlessly with perfect Arbiter and HT usage, they lose. It's a balanced map for that reason; Terran can pump a shitload of units off three bases and doesn't need a fourth base until later.

When I say a protoss can abuse recalls, I meant AFTER they've already pushed out. If the terran leave enough units behind for recall purposes, then they're already screwed.

The first attack the protoss doesn't really have to "win". You're making it sound like the protoss has to break the first push emphatically or something. At the time when Hiya pushed out, it was 4 base vs 2 base(Hiya's main was just mined out when he pushed). When the protoss have twice the economy, you can afford to lose a lot of units. You just can't lose the first battle so badly the terran can just a-move into your main. Which is what Movie did.
