ouch kwark, that's harsh. I actualy really enjoyed that series. Sure, it wasn't FvJ: two perfect players doing their best to emulate an immovable object and an unstoppable force (which is some of the most amazing starcraft), but it was entertaining. While you want competence, i just want entertaining.

All of the OSL writers are great at their jobs (hobbies? life-passions? what ever you want to use to describe the task). I hope someday that I can be as good at writing.

It occurred to me, modesty is now an automatic seed O__O, that's just weird.

Those ratings are ridiculous.
Watch some GSL matches, come back and then tell me that no games in that semi final deserve more than 1/5.

Seriously -.-
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

Oh waxangel, "Retrospective" was a goddamn divine read.
(Also, cheers for teaching me a new word in "apotheosis".)

Well done y'all, you guys should become professional writers/journalists.

I read "Calm and Fantasy faced off in a memorable series to decide the first entrant into the Bacchus 2010 OSL Final."
Then I saw the "match ratings" you gave to these games... :s

Anyways thanks for the reports, I liked the retrospective about Flash.

I missed the series but the writeup has convinced me not to watch it. The writeup itself was entertaining enough for me!

I can't even begin to try and take note of all the bias against Fantasy in these writeups... somehow the overarching theme present in the whole series that calm knew he sucked too bad to play straight up with Fantasy so he cheesed apparently slipped by you kwark. Not only does Calm somehow get props in these articles for 4pooling twice in a row, Fantasy gets criticized when he defends it the second time and thoroughly stomps Calm. And then if you factor in how Calms only other win besides the 4 pool was a speedling runby into 2 hatch lurker its clear he had no shot at beating Fantasy. Fantasy played badly the first game, but beyond there isn't much to criticize. Beyond his incredible "luck" at defending calms 4 base hydra allin in the last game.

And then to say Flash Stork and Jaedong are the only three good players in starcraft, but not include Fantasy? Fantasy the guy taking Flash to a game 5 in an incredibly close tvt semifinal last OSL while Stork was at home sitting on his ass? and then making the finals this OSL when all the maps are horribly imbalanced against terran? give me a break Fantasy has proved himself 10000 times over to be one of the immediate next best after Flash and Jaedong. And if you still somehow think the finals between Stork and Fantasy is going to be one sided and decisive you're in for a surprise.

Kwark's write ups were hilarious, i mean i thought they were entertaining but its interesting to see perspective from a person who knows more shit about starcraft than me.

Flash vs stork would have been amazing, as Stork just shows dominance in PvT. Flash is starting to fall imo though....so we'll see if he can bring it back up for next season

I didn't understand what happened in the first game either.
If Fantasy wanted to lose on purpose he couldn't have done better than that.
Nice write up as usual, thanks !

I don't know what the whole "you can't have Flash v Jaedong" thing is about. You get better played TvZs in the PL by players aren't ranked in the top 10 all the time.

Haha great writeup. Why on earth did they play so badly though? It just doesn't make any sense that guys that practice something for 12 hours a day could put on such a bad show on such a big important stage.

Then again, I'm sure lots of work goes into a lot of horrible movies too....

Thankfully the reporting was of much higher quality than the game play =]

Lol, I can imagine watching the semis live and laughing along with the rest of the LR thread, but having to watch it again for analysis must be torture. On a related note, torture seems to produce good articles.

1 bad week = starting to fall? He's still been absolutely dominant in proleague.

Now if he had beaten Stork in the Bacchus 2010 semi or final? That's a whole other story. While a loss would be tabulated outside his so called “god” run, a victory would extend it. It would have been the rather large feather in his cap.


I get it, cause Stork is some kind of bird :<

I don't know, while it's true that Flash hasn't played a BoX vs any decent protoss (unless you call Korean Air S2 semis against free decent), he's still managed some solid TvP wins in PL vs Bisu and Stork, though he did lose to Kal on Aztec. Either way, I still wouldn't bet against him vs anyone at the moment, and his invincibility aura is still showing (at least to me, but I'm still relatively new to watching the scene - 2 years) and he qualifies as legendary to me. Though you're probably right, Flash vs Stork semi would have been nuts for publicity and attention and whatnot, it's terrible that they've missed that opportunity.

KwarK's reports are awesome, it's cool to rage every once in a while, I hadn't realized Fantasy screwed up game 1 that bad. That was Calm's series to take .

Thanks again OSL team! Timely entertainment ftw.

MMOs kill APM. However Proleague plus BW Proscene music increase APM -> 100. 이제동 Fighting! Highest ranked Jaedong owner in FPL10 = clearly #1 Jaedong fan~! <- Keeping my sig from 2010
