That was incredible. One of my favorite write-ups in a long time. Goosebumps rewatching those games, especially the July//Goodfriend game. I think I've seen that video about 4 times now.

Obviously not enough That game was pretty sick, just to think how quickly that game could have been over if they knew how to stack mutas with overlords.

Great writeup.

Stupid WMG muted the Game 3 Match between Savior and Bisu. It's less epic without the commentator and audience reactions. :/

An awesome write up! Noob that I am and I could use the in-depth analysis but this article wasn't the time or place for it. It was instead a very thought out discussion of the psyche of a 5-game championship match. A good read. If links to the full vods for the series you mentioned (or write-ups there of) were salted in next to the example vods (for the lazy bastards like myself who don't want to search for them) it might assuage the more play-by-play breakdown hungry folks.

Thanks again. Didn't want to do any work this morning anyway.

The lack of NaDa is the one big regret, to be sure. When you're talking about OSL greatness you're talking about July or NaDa, generally, for obvious reasons, and I'm a zerg fan, so yes, there's a definite slant.

If he wins five he'll get a platinum mouse, and if he wins seven he'll get a diamond one.

goodfriend looked horribly crushed inside when he lost the game you linked as a set 5 example... I always feel so bad for the losers of these finals, even if I'm happy for the winner =/

fantasy/jaedong is a great example. fantasy worked so hard, and entertained us all so well, but wasn't rewarded. in the end, I guess the reward can only go to the player who worked the hardest, and that's jaedong.
