Jaedong is destined to play the role of Yellow, always to end up one away from victory. Boxer smiles as he recalls his victories over Yellow. Heartbreaking, but the stuff of legends of his youth. Coach Choi smiles as his words come true: SKT1 will lead Esports into a new era, as Starcraft 2 pokes its immature head onto the horizon. Fantasy smiles as he sees his mentors' happiness, the one who taught him the winning strategy; the other who showed him how to use valkyries. Canata smiles; Backho's cheese goes unpunished. Hyuk smiles; he finally showed the world what he's made of. Bisu is disgruntled; Fantasy stole his glory. Bunkie smiles, he always does. Elsewhere, Jaedong apologises to his team for being a letdown. For not pulling an Effort v Khan clutch. For losing to Hyuk. Jaedong apologises to Backho. To Killer. To Lomo. Somewhere, Oz weeps together, and none weeping the harder than Jaedong, knowing that they were just < > this close to winning SKT1. Somewhere, Konadora is jumping in joy as he reads the results to SKT1 v Oz. great post | ||

Anyone who doesn't go and vote for JD in the OSL semis over Fantasy is a fool after seeing this. Having sniper builds doesn't work in a bo5. Are you new or something? I'm no SKT1 fanboy or a Fantasy fanboy but talking about underestimating Fantasy... -___- JD is a monster in BOx series but Fantasy is nowhere close to an assured victory, he has shown his skill and aptness at this game many times before. | ||

It's kind of a double standard; we can't do anything about it. But you have to remember that fans knew fantasy and boxer could play straight up if they wanted to, so their cheeses don't smack of desperation, but ingenuity. Lesser players cheese because they know they have little to no chance of winning straight up, but when top-tier players do it there's a different motivation. We lost, get over it, we'll be back. No doubt about it.  | ||

People complain about the format being too individual favored, then complain when the players play to win. It's not a JD v Fantasy victory, its a victory for SKT1. Would you go for entertainment when your team has worked hard to put you in the ace match? No, and if you did you're a moron. | ||

Either Jaedong will start his descent into a depressing slump, or turn this around and go absolutely ripship insane and demolish everyone that stands in his path. | ||

Anyone who doesn't go and vote for JD in the OSL semis over Fantasy is a fool after seeing this. Having sniper builds doesn't work in a bo5. I'd still say Fantasy. Did you see his performance on Day 1 against Jaedong? Absolutely brilliant play. | ||

"before ace match, i avoided being around boxer on purpose and pretended to discuss a lot with oov for the opponent not to suspect (this strategic play)." it's amazing. :D | ||

Especially when SK T1 had 2 chances and Oz only had 1, that was the best time to use a strategic play. On August 08 2009 23:09 aers wrote: backho cheesed too. whatever. This as well. If "cheese" was so great, it'd be the norm, not FE like it is today. The strongest strategy becomes the predominant one, and others are there to counter the prevalent strategy. | ||
