EPTI don't agree with you when you said Yarnc was essentially handed his OSL finals opportunity on a silver platter. He definitely had his share of work getting through the Ro16 Group A, which was the group of death (Yarnc, Effort, Jaedong, and Flash). Getting past Light in the round before isn't exactly a pushover either b/c TvZ happens to be Light's best matchup. Even if Yarnc did have to face off against Leta instead of type-b I would still have called out to Yarnc as a favorite because he has the best ZvT in the league (debatable with Jaedong). Either way you look at it Yarnc definitely has a chance to take this OSL and future leagues. I'm a big Jaedong fan especially everything he's been going through but deep down inside I will be cheering for Yarnc...he deserves to win.

jaedong knows that the win will be hard when he meets the twins muta micro. thats why he will 5 times zergling rush. and knowing that yarnc will try to defence the zergling rushes, maybe succeeding 2 times... | ||

i'm excited, nice article, but i really don't think Calm vs JD was an excelent series, since as JD stated he could not give his best and even his win wasnt fully deserved | ||

I've never really found ZvZ that boring (maybe since I play zerg haha), though it is really disappointing when a Bo5 is over in like an hour. I just hope that all of the games are epic and that there's some longer ones at least. | ||

I'm a big Jaedong fan especially everything he's been going through but deep down inside I will be cheering for Yarnc...he deserves to win. Maybe. It depends how you want to view the sheer lack of Protoss players in this OSL. Yarnc definitely did not need to play any tough TvPs this tournament, so in that regard, one might think that this is his golden opportunity, or the tournament is handed on a silver platter, or whatever metal + noun combination you wish to use. So you might want to say that since his weakness has not been truly tested, the Fates have provided him this possibility. ...but then again one might well say that the lack of Protoss simply represents their own failures, and should not enter into our evaluation of Yarnc's performance at all. Frankly I'm not sure which side I agree with. | ||
