I think you meant to say Nal_rA.

"Kim Taek Yong may be out of the OSL this year, and that no doubt pains him."

Don't you mean MSL? Bisu is someone who would concentrate more on the MSL, rather then the OSL.

NaDa used to be on KTF, if I'm not mistaken.

And the OSL is a lot more prestigious than the MSL, so I'm sure that's correct.



I love threads like these, always makes things more emotional.

Indeed. Though to be fair, that would probably make the next season quite one sided and boring.

I feel really bad for JD... He spends 12 hours or more on the PL and only 2 or 3 on individual leagues everyday... That shows how much he has dedicated himself to his team. His team trusts him to win, and he fails them twice, his heart must be broken. On the otherhand fans of SKT will forget about how bad it feels to let your team down. Its really bad to let someone down who you have such a strong relationship with, if someone has experienced this they know there is pain in your heart for a long time.

This is the rise to stardom for Fantasy,but potentially the turning point of JD's career. One can only imagine JD's pressure going into the OSL semis against Fantasy and whoever heavily favored JD over Fantasy in that match up must now reevaluate the situation.

But should JD rise again, if that ever happens, he will rise a bonjwaa.

It's amazing how much you see Boxer and Oov's play in Fantasy, especially in the two games against Jaedong.

Game one was pure Oov.

Armies thrown in to the meat grinder again and again, wholesale slaughter with entire fleets of vessels scourged and legions of marines cut down to stem the zerg assault.

And then when all seems near lost, suddenly from nowhere appears an overwhelming, cheater terran tank division that rolls over and utterly crushes the Tyrant.

And then the Ace match. Completely Boxer. I have no doubt that it was the emperor himself who prepared and taught his new protege this build, exactly in anticipation for this match.

Not just some desperate cheese, but a comprehensive mind game, the perfect bluff. Jaedong expects the all-in move, and plays with a super-safe 9-pool. The perfect illusion of a wall-in and then a fast CC is presented, and the sacrifice of a few marines lull the zerg into a false sense of security.

And then the jaws snap shut. The hidden barracks is perfectly positioned to avoid detection. A half-dozen marines appear out of nowhere, and march on the undefended natural. The swarm is cut down mercilessly.

Fantasy's the true perfect terran, a synthesis of the race's two greatest masters, who now stand at his back and send him forth. He's the weapon they wield to destroy their foes.

I came in neutral to Oz/SK but after this series, it's impossible to like SKT1 as a team. But, this was a nice writeup (a little heavy on the lead-in?) and SKT1 was clearly the best team this year so they deserved it.

Can't believe Oz was just one JD ZvZ win away from getting to super ace on Desti....

Riptide's coverage of proleague has been mother fucking beastly, that promotion to staff was well deserved.
