When people look back at the Starcraft greats in the future, they will remember the OSL and MSL winners. SKT T1 have their place in history as a proud unbroken line of underperformers and chokers. From Boxer (second half of his career) to Midas, to Best, to Bisu (will never win OSL), to Fantasy. The one exception is oov, but he on the other hand is a quitter who left the game when it got too tough.
God damn it I want them to lose in super ace.
Hahaha. Harsh. :D
SKT is just too good for the one-man team OZ. If only CJ had prevailed...

I was expecting at most, two losses for SKT. 4-0 was a bit of a surprise.

If his teammates were of any use this may happen. However his teammates have been quite useless so far. Lomo sucked it up totally, ggaemo lol, and Backho just got outplayed.

This is not a terrible day for SC...
It would be better for e-sports if SKT1 won this event, not the one man army of Jaedong.
SKT1 is a team effort, Oz is Jaedong. Plain and simple.
CJ would of done a better job against SKT1 imo. At least they have a well rounded team.

oh my... if OZ loses tommorow with score of 0:4, then they are going to have 12 straight losses in grand final

God damn it I want them to lose in super ace. I thought trolls came from Finland. Actually sweden... unless you mean mumintroll, who's finnish but whose name is in swedish. EDIT: Show nested quote +On August 08 2009 04:48 Nylan wrote:On August 08 2009 04:17 Avidkeystamper wrote:

And that has nothing to do with trolls. I'm not sure about those ancient finnish pagan gods, either... but if there are trolls in the finnish culture, I don't think they're that large of a part of it. Or you know better than me ;;
I could be wrong, that's just what I've heard.

Awww, no Hwaseung Houses? Those are the best, even though your predictions are ridiculously biased, Hwaseung Houses are ridiculously hilarious.

Yes, if SKT T1 lost, Teamliquid would shut down.

Of course it'd depend on the matchups but I don't think it would've been much closer if CJ was playing. Are you kidding? Kwanro, Skyhigh, Effort, and Iris are without a doubt overall better and more consistent than any group you can name from OZ. There's no way they would've gone 4-0. Besides, why do people keep saying Best is so good and can do so well? He's done jack shit this entire year. He was good, now he's looking like he's slumping. The entire CJ lineup looked pretty damn weak on its series against Khan. Except for Effort.
Iris didn't look terrible against KHAN, and you're stupid if you think one weekend shows what players are like. Every player has bad days. Jaedong got 2-0'd by Eff0rt, in the matchup where he has an 80% win percentage.. Bisu got stomped by Iris. Does that mean they're all of a sudden bad players? No. Kwanro and Iris are both still in individual leagues (with Iris performing amazingly, woopin' Bisu's ass and being in the GSL finals), and the team overall shows better consistently and better play. The only thing that most OZ players are consistent at are sucking.

Time to whip out Jaedong, PirateZerg, and MustacheZerg!!!

I woke up at 4 AM for this and I was sorely disappointed at the quality of the games. Wish I had slept, although I really enjoyed the Proleague All-Stars thing beforehand.
Hype up Jaedong vs. Fantasy all you want - any competent Terran will win a game where a Zerg happily lets them expand 4 times until they're equal bases, no matter how bad the starts are.
And the next 3 games were walkovers like a lot of people could have expected.

Awesome SKT, awesome.
LOL@ the Terran imba comments.
Fantasy is awesome.

Let's replace each Oz player with their CJ equivalent, as Avidkeystamper did.
Fantasy vs Effort
Canata vs Skyhigh
Hyuk vs Savior
BeSt vs Movie/Much
I don't think the results would have been much different. fantasy vs Effort would've been close but so was fantasy vs Jaedong. Canata beat Skyhigh 2-0 just a few months ago. Hyuk beat Savior last month. Slumping or not Best would have beaten Movie or Much. Obviously CJ is a more well-rounded team than Oz with more consistent players, but I think it's stupid for people to say "wow, Oz sucks, CJ would do much better" especially considering Oz beat CJ 4-1 on the first day (which if we went by the old format would be the final score).
