It's certainly not a Casy or a July win, and there really aren't any SL winners that aren't really good players in good form. Flash and Jaedong lost in a stupid fashion, so why would they deserve the win? They might have done the same thing against the eventual winner. Besides, Kal beat Flash. Not in a series, but still. and Stork beat JD | ||

Whether this OSL's winner is worthy or not, I still like the fact that it's going to be somebody other than Leessang, and more importantly, there's a really good chance it will be a Toss winner (it's been too long between drinks). | ||

I guess I'd have to agree about the lost opportunity for players to take down JD/Flash in an epic OSL run... If you look at it that way, this could become one of those fluky starleagues where you look back and say: how'd that guy win it all again? Hopefully not! Really wish we'll still see some epic BW! | ||

Say what you want but GOM is using a mighty big carrot to get the best players in their tourney and so far it seems to be working. User was warned for this post Why would they switch to SC2 when SC2 isn't growing at all in Korea o.o; Also the 100 million won is only for the GSLs that's what, 3 times a year or something? (it was just run 3 times in a row this year to determine code A/S). Finally, note that 100 million won is only 1/4th of Flash's BW salary and 1/2 of Jaedongs ~_~ Considering SC2 teams are getting sponsorships from tiny chicken restaurants looking to become popular and.... BW teams are hosted by major corporations, I dunno why any top BW player will switch. "Mighty Big Carrot" is pretty ignorant there when it's not a carrot at all when SC2 hasn't grown at all in Korea since it started, in fact hype has been dying down ![]() Also always glad to see people who actually think this Starleague is even halfway worthwhile. This is the first Starleague where I'd be pissed off with an upset, rather than an upset being a funny thing. Also hilarious to see people who think Jaedong and Flash losing in group stages via flukes is worth it versus BOXs... how delusional is that ![]() | ||

User was warned for this post I don't see the need to insert insinuations about SC2 into this topic. It derails the discussion and adds nothing. Also, I'm willing to bet that 99% of the posters in this topic will not classify Starleague titles as worthless, even in the "kidding" sense. On the other hand, I kinda agree that Stork/Kal should have been the ones to beat Flash/Jaedong out of the OSL. Would have been sweeter that way. And looking at how they're rolling right now, I don't see a reason why they would not be able to do it. Especially Stork. ![]() Edit: Failquote | ||

Expect him to lose even more games in Winners League as well as he's forced to play on those maps. Honestly, though, rumors of God's death are greatly exaggerated. Aztec? Okay, really bad luck, Kal's good enough that Flash losing seems entirely "reasonable". But Icarus, while bad for Terran, isn't that bad, and Hyuk usually is "that bad" against Terran - Flash losing that game was ridiculous. Even accepting the loss to Kal, Flash should have gone 2-1 in the group, thus tiebreakers. Obviously that's not what actually happened. To actually answer your question though: Sea. But he played Stork (50/50) and Shine (Shine's better in that MU right now, and def. better than Hyuk) - and lost his TvT to Mind. | ||

Defiantly killed my liquibetting. However now I think Stork really have a solid shot at this title. That would be really good for him. Oh, and thanks for the article. I really enjoy reading these. | ||

Until then, here is to hoping for more epic BW matches, and other stars to take up the mantle of the once-mighty Flash and Jaedong trio *evil cackle*! =3 | ||
