wow... that's was lonnnnng... But phenomenal write up nevertheless given the time, effort, depth and awesome pics included.

Pure and Effort getting through in 7 hour of below par games was hard to watch on TLPD. As much as I like Baby's current form and think he could take out the OSL, Flash is probably too strong and Flash vs Movie rematch of the last OSL final would be awesome.

That's some good stuff you got there Kwark, where can I get some? :p

Like anyone gets any credit for predicting Flash winning at anything. It's a Pascal's wager.

Alternatively, "breathe out, so I can breathe you in" (said with sardonic, desperate hope).

Wonderful read.

In the above game, as Go.go tried to defend inside his mineral line, his marine started to attack his command center. As if to punish his marine for treason, an SCV welded the offending marine to death.


For some reason this was absolutely hilarious. I was literally laughing so hard I was almost crying.

I’m not sure why this was so funny, probably just the thought that someone would actually do that in a pro-match. But the wording certainly made it funnier.

Nice write up by the way.

And regarding the Flash vs. Baby match coming up. I think out of the remaining people in the OSL Baby has the highest chance of beating Flash. I think Flash will win, but Baby might just be able to squeeze by, if he shows some phenomenal play.

The only other person that I think might be able to beat Flash is Kal, because he’s pretty good. But considering Kal’s been losing to Flash in their recent games, it would be a stretch for even Kal to claim victory.

I predict Effort will beat Zero. I expect Move and Flash to advance in the quarterfinals. ForGG vs Kal is a tossup.
Flash, ForGG, and Movie fan.

I love the (Z)EffOrt you and Kwark put into this. I wish I could write like you, though I think some of the references were a little too obscure.

Take away Kal’s three losses to Flash (anyone would have lost except…. Stork? Bisu? Yeah, anyone would have lost), and we can see that he’s been very good at PvT lately, just like he’s been very good at everything. The only thing going for ForGG is that as a former champion, he always brings something extra to the big games. It’s not going to be enough.

Anyone except Nal_rA!

Thanks for the epic-ly long write up! I've been struggling to keep up with the OSL these days.
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Whereas I'm so considerate that I self censor myself, despite it sucking out the amusement.
It'd be way more fun if I could just go "go.go thought it'd be a good idea to make just a handful of marines out of one rax, then make the rax incapable of producing marines, then suicide the marines he had. From this we can conclude that go.go is fucking retarded".
Alas, I have to dress it up slightly more professionally in my official capacity.

Awesome write up!

I know ForGG is going to pull out something unbeatable for Kal in the Ro8. I can feel it! Haha. Kal has been pretty beastly in PvT recently though >.<
