Nice write-up, though. edit: Also, I don't agree with this: Aside from his stint in the Ro16's group of death, Yarnc's Bacchus OSL 2009 has been an unrepeatable cakewalk — and that makes this Finals his one big chance. If Yellow[arnc] can't win an OSL under these ideal conditions, it's safe to say he never will. How does that follow? The "unrepeatable cakewalk" led to the finals, not past them. Had you said, "If If Yellow[arnc] can't reach the finals of an OSL under these ideal conditions, it's safe to say he never will," that would have been reasonable, but he DID make the finals. To win it, he has to get past Jaedong in ZvZ, the furthest thing from a cakewalk imaginable. If FakeYellow loses the series, that hardly says that he will never win an OSL, perhaps one where he doesn't face Jaedong. Anyway, it's moot for now, but I think you went too far with the hype there. | ||

Even considering he has to face JD in the Finals, this OSL will have been relatively painless for Yarnc. His ZvT and ZvZ are just so much better than his ZvP that a solely Terran and Zerg field is a dream come true for him — any high-powered Protoss opponent, and he'd stand less of a chance than he does against even JD. The passage you quoted makes complete sense. | ||

OSL and MSL are still legends . but its now just everthing about proleague . i think its a good question to ask at blizzcon to savior , nada , skyhigh and zero . That's fine. But the a player is usually judged by his number of individual titles before PL. | ||

Leta is also 0-6 vs Jaedong. So please, enough about Leta! To be clear, I agree that Yarnc has a better shot at Jaedong than Leta (or any other Hite player). What I'm saying is that, if Yarnc fails horribly in the Finals, it's still certain that Hite fans and players will wonder whether Leta wouldn't have given JD a better series. That's pressure on Yarnc. | ||

But with the level of play stepped up manifold, I hope it'll at least be entertaining enough. | ||

Yeah, but I figure the mouse is probably cast, not forged. Just being nitpicky, anyway. On August 21 2009 10:48 qrs wrote: How does that follow?

The passage you quoted makes complete sense.[/QUOTE]OK, I think I misunderstood you a bit there. I thought you were saying that losing to Jaedong will prove something about whether Yellow[arnc] has what it takes to win (which I disagreed with), but maybe you meant that whether he wins or loses, it's not likely that he'll even reach the final again, given his subpar vP. | ||
