Trying to be a bit picky but are there VODs with the OGN casters casting it?

Does Daum have them? It sounded like there were two sets of casters going on.

in the nevake VODs, MBC casters are doing dubs over the OGN dudes. But I personally prefer to listen to OGN commentator's casts so.. :p
I'll try looking up at Daum later.

are you kidding me ? Last time SKT won the proleague, it was still called "Sky ProLeague". And it was with the old generation (Boxer, oov, kingdom, gorush ...)

So does JD losing to fantasy here kinda count as the first game in their BO5? Meaning he is already in angry mode and can win 3-0 now?

Can anyone tell me what happened in Fantasy vs Jaedong game???? I just watched it but I dont get why JD lost.... It seems almost inevitable that if a zerg who grabs the double gas doesn't take a turtle terran down with his quick, high gas army, then the Terran will win. It's way too easy for Terran to set up shop at the mineral onlys, and the main and nat are plenty of gas for tons of Vessels and a sizeable tank force. Jaedong, honestly, probably would've won if he'd gone Mutas for massive harass. Fantasy had like no turrets and a weak MnM force. But he fell into the trapping that is the double gas expo. Lol, which game have you seen? Fantasy didn't turtle at all, he is very agressive through the whole game! He outexpands Jeadong at mid game and gathers enough resources advantage for the last tank push. And Fantasy doesn't have many turrets because Jeadong does't go mutas harass not the other way around lol. Um, expanding to your backyard for the first 2/3rds of the game before going for the second main is not aggressive. Fantasy was turtling -- he had a factory and all his tanks shoved inside his nat up until the last like 5 minutes of the game. He pushed out as soon as he had a macro'd up army, but the dude turtled after the Bunker Rush -- for good reason! "Turtling" isn't a bad thing, it's what you have to do to stay alive after failing an 8rax. Also 'turtling' and pushing out aren't mutually exclusive. But when you've got a third of your supply in tanks sitting behind a wall at your nat, that's pretty turtled. I repeats which game have you seen? If there is a player turtling, this is Jeadong with fast hive fast goardian, mass sunken. Bunker rush, bunker break, mass dropship harass, push out constantly, outexpanding zerg are turtling? And Fantasy doesn't start producing tank until the second half of the game! Uggghhh I'm talking about the absolutely massive tankline and back up bio force that never left his nat until he went for the final blow. It's impossible for a zerg to break defense that tight when there's an MnM force on the map. Like I said, turtling and pushing aren't mutually exclusive in a game. By the time Jaedong had higher tech units, there's absolutely no way to break that force. If you noticed, Jaedong completely dismantled Fantasy's in-the-field MnM force several times, but not once could he come close to breaking into Fantasy's nat because of the rock solid defense. Fantasy played incredibly smart, even if his SK is a little sloppy. Playing smart sometimes means having 5 tanks and a control group of mnm + 1~3 vessels at your nat entrance, go figure. Jesus I'm not even insulting Fantasy -- I'm complimenting his wits, and yet you guys still somehow take offense. Hell I even predicted this would happen (Fantasy opening with a prepared build to snipe Jaedong in a close call), I'm totally with the Fantasy crowd here. =\ You're obviously using the term "turtling" incorrectly here. Keep defenses at home is not turtling at all. What if I have horrible multi-task, I suck at re-hotkeying my army, and I forget about my army back at home? That'll leave me with a ton of units back at home. Does that mean I'm turtling? Turtling = playing defensively Turtling =/= leaving units at home You could argue that the putting of tanks at his natural was turtling but come on, you can't just ignore the fact that Fantasy was not only harassing JD's expos but also going toe-to-toe with JD in the center of the map. Well he was definitively turtling as soon as the Bunker Rush ended, and everytime he lost his expeditionary force (Lots of times) he kept crammed in his base for a couple minutes, where he was never threatened because he had half his army there anyhow. Outsider, with it's double back door accessible expansions lends itself to just sitting back, throwing up a monster defense, macroing up, pushing up, rinse, repeat, and Fantasy did that very well.
So waiting properly for an army that can actually survive outside one's own base is turtling? Trust me on this one, you're not using the word correctly.
You might as well say that everyone turtles in every single game.
EDIT: Lol, cept games that rely on pressuring the opponent early game. Guys, all late-game players are turtlers! Flash isn't alone!

Games 1 and 3:
"OMG <SKT Player> sucks! WTF are they doing? LOL EPIC FAIL!!!!

...where'd all those units come from?"
Game 2:
"Canata sucks" ---> Lomo sucks Canata wins
Game 4:
GALAXY CRUSHERRRRRRRRRRR (w/ 40% of posts being about Hyuk's ceremony)
Happy Jaedong Week Jesus, your team won and you're still butthurt? God damn fanboys.
How is that butthurt? I think it's hilarious.  Arrogant anti-fans get what's coming to them.
