Lovely article, I really enjoyed reading it. Can't help but chuckle at the little Bisu part.

for some reason it is hard to mentally accept jaedong, who seems like a kid, to replace savior...

T_T Beautiful write-up. MORE PLZ.

"Through exhaustive historical analysis I have concluded that if Blue Storm was actually early 1940s Eurasia, the third Zerg gas would be Moscow, the Protoss would be the Germans, and the adrenal upgrade would be the Russian Winter."

So true xD

Whoooaaa!!!

This is first class work, good job!

But I somehow don't see JaeDong the next Bonjwa.

AMAZING ANALYSIS...Jaedong's ZvT and ZvZ is ASS PWNAGNAGE! But like you said, in order for Jaedong to be the next Zerg Emperor, he have to step up his ZvP. I really can't see that he can beat sAviOr's peak 83% win rate in ZvP.

P.S. He sorta got cream puff opponents in the OSL. Light[alive] wasn't as sharp as Bisu or sAviOr, and Upmagic is useless against zergs (his career win rate is below 50%...) and Stork don't even have a 51% ZvP yet... Jaedong also managed to avoid Hwasin or Bisu, the zerg killers of the OSL. So all in all, it only takes one strong PvZ toss player to knock Jaedong out of the tornament.
sAviOr > all

Niiiice article!

I thought the finals were quite boring though and Stork didn't play very good. But Jaedong did some cool stuff, like the muta/scourge thing and evo/evo block.

The only thing I'd say marred jaedong's osl victory was the relative ease of his bracket and most of all the map pool. He cruised through an all-terran left bracket on a mind-numbing set of maps. He lost twice to Stork on Persona. Although he stepped up games 2-4, Jaedong's still not quite proven himself yet, and he's still miles behind Maestro in opinion polls.
...

You can't count his bracket against him. Yes, Light-Hwasin-Bisu would've been harder, but it's not LJD's fault that Hwasin and Bisu couldn't take care of business.

Savior may have had a harder road if GoRush beat Much, and GGPlay would've had a harder road if he had to play Bisu instead of Flash.

You can't fault a player for someone else's inability to win. Up and Stork earned their places.

Plus we get to see JD play Bisu in the MSL soon

I'm not taking anything away from Up and Stork. Quite the opposite, my love for these two are unquestionable (especially UpMagiC). Both played great great sets against great players to advance. That TvT on katrina vs Hwasin, the pvp on persona vs Bisu, mamma mia!

I'm saying the entire left-bracket was terran except leejaedong, so there wasn't a single chance for JD to face a non-terran before the final. With many advantages on his side, his trip to the final was never in doubt. That makes it a lot less inpressive than, say, shinhan3 where Savior overcame all odds to knock out a red hot Nada.

While GGPlay played all-terran also, that was genuinely due to non-terran's inability to advance. That final was really something: There was a very palpable sense of reversal in game 3, where GGPlay danced his mutas on a razor's edge and came back with the skin on his teeth to win. Game 4 was a giant leap of faith, which emptied directly into Game 5 - a repeat of Game 1 except with everything done faster, coordinated better, stronger resource management and tighter unit control.
If you can, then do. If I can, I will.
