+ Show Spoiler +
Either Movie or Shine will face Flash to become an OSL champion.


Nice spoiler or what ? It is a review of the quarter finals, some people may not have seen/want to see the result of a semi while looking at this post.

Still, it's a good review Thanks

Shine knocked out a lot of big names, doesn't that mean that he's really good atm? And he never even cheesed him. Not that it really matters, Flash will still win in the end.

'Cause atm, both Movie and Shine looks like bigger threats to Flash than JD did in those two games.

Awesome write up! Very good analysis. I especially liked your Movie v.s. Zero analysis, particularly game one. I certainly didn't notice some of the details you mentioned.

The audience was going insane in Flash v.s. Jaedong. I only heard that sort of background noises in the China WCG Final for a starcraft game. Pity all of the games ended so short...

Since July is seems to be too old for good now, I'm happy to be rooting for Shine. And once Calm shows up again consistently and Clam stays home ...

Kal and Stork games are still most fun to watch though. Here is hoping Winners League will show us some streaks of them.

What does poor (Z)Shine have to do to stop that silly hate??? I am not a fanboy by any means, but the guy showed brilliance in ALL match-ups, beat A and S-class players with manner, and he has a unique style which is fun to watch (read : not yet another mechanical standard unimaginative BORING player). He may lack a bit of charisma, but seriously, I can't understand this hate.
C'mon angry fanboys, let's focus on the skill rather than the victims list!

I've always wondered... Do you think the booth girls standing behind the players ever think to themselves, "OMG, Flash is sitting right there. I could just reach out and, like, stroke his hair if I wanted to" while constantly struggling to suppress gleeful squeals?

Mmmyeah, probably not. TL members, on the other hand...

Excellent write-up.

Shine's shown more variety in his play then he's getting credit for by most people. He's won a lot of straight up games but he certainly is a more micro (t1/2) kinda player. I was pissed when he knocked out Effort, but I have to give him his props for his run so far. I will be rooting for Movie but if shine makes it to the finals I won't be too upset, it's nice seeing the youngsters enter the limelight where they will either "shine" or simply fall back into darkness.

Having said that, Flash is out of control. He is dominating on many different levels and especially is not being beaten in any mind games. 2400, 70 and still up in both leagues.... Excellent time to be a SC fan

Go Movie!
Chance favors the prepared mind.

Although Jaedong could not match Flash in a straight-up game, his loss to a bunker rush can be partly blamed on his poor response to the attack.


No, not really. He was quite close to destroying that bunker actually

No, it's news. Don't read news about the OSL if you don't want the OSL to be spoiled.

(Z)Shine is a lot like Calm: great ZvZ, outstanding ZvP (what better proof than beating Stork and Bisu), but a horribly shaky ZvT. Shine won't beat Flash in a 20-minute game, but his early to mid game game aggression is quite good, so he has a chance to take one off of Flash (like Calm), maybe two if he goes 4 pools heheh, but I really don't see him winning the finals, now that Flash is close to perfecting TvZ. Movie definitely has the power to beat Shine, after besting Zero in 2 games. But because Shine is aggressive in ZvP, whereas Zero' ZvP is pure macro, it should make for a much more competitive series. The problem with Movie in the finals is that, since beating Leta in the playoffs, his best win vs a terran was Light. And overall, PvT is his worst MU. People say that Flash's weakness is TvP, and it's reasonable (or it least it was) to believe that protoss could still pose a threat and maybe knock him down to mortality again, but Movie is not the protoss for the job. That is unless he goes for the ultimate 3-game winning formula: The Stove, Bulldog, and finally a 2-gate elevator. That'd be sweeeet.
