Ho ho ho, not even original? You have got to be kidding me. Viewing it from the outside it's just a bunker rush, but you obviously did not read any comments.

unoriginal, but brilliant nonetheless. even showing a fantastic degree of metagame by hanging around oov instead of boxer pre-game to mislead his opponent.

jung laden did rob us of epic games but hey, it's not illegal to rush.

Jaedong lost to Effort in GOM, and I was disappointed. Maybe he threw the game to practice for KESPA sanctioned events. Proleague is the biggest stage there is in professional StarCraft, it's the World Series, the NBA Finals, the Super Bowl. Jaedong is not a Bonjwa. Michael Jordan dominated. He scored the winning shot of the NBA finals. Jaedong dropped the ball. If he were really as dominant as a Bonjwa, by definition, is, he would've carried his team to a Proleague win. He dropped the m*therf*cking ball at the grandest of grandest stages.

The Jaedong worshipping ends now. He's not a hero. Heroes win when it matters most. There is presently no best player in professional StarCraft. Jaedong was a candidate for a while, but after losing these games, his hype died. Too bad. There is no best player in StarCraft today.

If Fantasy beats him in the Semi, I think it is easy as that.

I personally will reserve my opinion for until I see how he fares against Fantasy and Iris.

There is definitely a discrepancy between "best player at the moment" and "bonjwa." Bisu was never bonjwa, but there were periods where he was considered the best player in the proscene, and I think the same can be said of Jaedong and even Flash.

I was supposed to supervise the guy who was putting new glaze tiles in the kitchen of my sister's apartment because she was in the country and her fiance had to go to work... guy said he's going home 3 hours later and thank god because before my sister's fiance gave me some cannabis to smoke before he left O_O

I was like leaning in all directions on my chair and slowly reading what ghostwriter was translating letter by letter... effect slowly wore off over time lol I felt almost nothing during ace.

I'm not sure who was irresponsible more, me or my sister's chosen man.

the reason this post was called "absurd" two posts down is because it's not the Oz coach's choice. The Oz coach showed his brilliance by scouting jaedong's talent, and jaedong is still on the team because he's loyal. We don't all root for teams with ultra-rich sponsors. T1 poached many of its players from other teams (Bisu, anyone?)

in other words, saying "I'm so glad the Oz strategy failed!!" is stupid... it's not a strategy at all, it's simply what Oz has to work with given the money that they have to pay players with

Jaedong maybe is the best player, but he's not the most gifted with purest SC talent.

When SC2 comes out, I wouldn't bet my money on Jaedong winning the early leagues.

Fantasy > Jaedong in that aspect, he sees the matrix.

i think mostly we feel cheated out of another epic game like the first day JD vs fantasy... or pretty much any of the JD vs fantasy games... look through tlpd sometime, whenever these guys meet it's epic... except the grand final.

was an annoyingly clever cheese though!


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".

sorry but this is ridiculous. fending off a rush and winning the game is going to make you feel pumped for the next game, not broken.

or were you thinking that in the second game he'd spawn with all his units and buildings dying? lolz

It is, especially if he's knocked out of either remaining individual league. He's dropped the ball so many times and we've chalked it up to tiredness or any other bullshit excuse that it's getting ridiculous. He was 0-2'd by Effort, beaten by Orion AND Hyuk, and he was beaten by Fantasy, twice. There is NO CHANCE that he can be considered a Bonjwa now, dropping that many games, especially to scrubs in a matchup where he's supposed to be a god.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.
