jaedong going 0-3 (including losing a zvz) is possibly one of the most improbable outcomes in SC i can think of

lomo should have just lost and spared jaedong this defeat lol

What is an 'epic game'? Should players agree not to attack each other for a certain amount of time to mass up and get tech?

everytime a Z 5 pool or even 9 pool its a cheesy allin.

Funny boys...

Oh, this is the first time in these playoffs that we didn't go to super ace.

I think ppl should stop complaining about "OMG I was robed by fantasy and I wanted to watch long and epic game". If JD 4pool'd I'm completely sure non of you would've felt robed. It sucks to lose to cheese, but every great player in this game was denied from important wins, because of cheesy play.

Actually, the final was an epic game in itself. Look at the speed of Jaedong's reactions when his overlord was sniped by marines. Look at how the lings nearly got into the base. Look at Fantasy when he pulled his SCVs to block the lings and went further to SCV bunker rush him.

Fantasy felt pretty safe pulling a bunker rush. He still had Bisu to back him up on Super Ace and what I think this match was supposed to do was mindfuck Jaedong more than win.

Fantasy pulled off this win perfectly, but the intention was not to win. It was to weaken Jaedong mentality against Bisu. Had Fantasy lost this match, he would have been recorded as the key weapon in defeating Jaedong, by weakening Jaedong so badly Bisu made mincemeat out of him.

Instead, Fantasy won this.

Don't judge Fantasy as relying on the cheese to win. SKT's grand plan always has contingencies and the plan went: "Fantasy will bunker rush Jaedong. He will 1) win or 2) lose but weaken Jaedong enough to let Bisu win".


Why would winning a game weaken him at all? And sorry i don't think you are going to convince many people it was an epic game.

I look forward to the interview, preferably the interview with Oz, hoping that Jaedong is not too stress out because of today's lost.

It's the nature of the races. Zerg fails a 4pool, and it's almost always instant win for Terran. Terran fails a bunker rush, and... oh wait, there's a wall. Any lings the Zerg made for the bunker rush are now useless and the Terran is still in the game (although he might be at a disadvantage, it's not an instant loss).

But you can't help it when one player is just so much weaker than the other.

Not when Oz still had the chance of winning. Not when they have Jaedong, who is still a monster, a tyrant, an utterly good player despite his losses in the last few games.

I, an SKT fan, feel that Oz has done their best. Oz fans have reason to be proud of Oz. SKT fans have reason to be proud of SKT. Lets leave it at that.

Epic Game : when highly-skilled players face each other and play at their peak performance simultaneously...

whoever said above that the players oz really plays too much are lomo, backho, and hiya, not jaedong, was right - hopefully these playoffs will be a sign to the team that there are these other players who are more than worthy of real development and screen time

even though i dont think that a win would weaken him, i do feel that it was an EPIC game and i think that SKT1-fans all over the world will agree on some level

Well said, let SKT celebrate their victory, and lets hope JD isn't suffering from too much psych trauma.
