Hahaha Kwark you are truly brilliant. While the series itself had some of Wax' SO BAD ITS HILARIOUS value, these writeups more than made up for it!

I personally hope that Stork facestomps fantasy to shutup all the "omg fantasy is really close behind JD/Flash peoples" However Fantasys TvP is usually a bit better than his TvZ(lolwut?)

Guess we can all look forward to the finals then!

In a time when all my free time is invested in my education and playing SC2 and pirating GSL vods, I'm so happy to read these battle reports. Even when the games are shitty, they still brighten up my day and my love for brood war.

I especially liked the "what if" segment on flash and stork. Really epic writeup to be honest. I'm reminded of a time before youtube, where the only method of enjoying e-sports was downloading the replays off korean sites and reading the battle reports here on TL. Thanks for everything Waxangel and Kwark. <3
good vibes only

Fantasy and calm. Both some of my favorite players and they have disappointed me.
Fantasy seemed like he was trying to use sc2 builds in sc bw.
Vulture harass into an FE probably into mech is like TLOs hellion expand.
And the 1-1-1 cloak wraith is just a lame version of a banshee expand.
One base battlecruise rush? WTF!

Then calm seemed not to want to get to the late game. Hive isnt an option because 2hatch lurker contains are so cool. The 1st 4pool was well executed but the second just sucked. 4Base bust didnt need to happen he could have expanded again teched to hive and waited for fantasy to move out.

I actually loved these games. It was so scrappy, action packed and full of twists and turns. I liked it for the surprises, if nothing else. I was thinking WTF at some point in each and every game...

Meh, so they made some bad decisions. I got to see queens and battlecruisers, double 4 pools and wraith builds. It was hilarious!

Flash, Jaedong, and Stork are the only competent players.


At least Kwark's actually saying it. Most of the people who believe this write as if there were some other players between TaekBangLeeSsang and the "terrible" A-class players like fantasy, Calm, free, Kal, ZerO, and Leta.

The hate was totally over the top here. Yeah something like inviting scouted lurk through the front door is stupid and deserves ridicule, but it was actually a fun series to watch. I don't really get the people who are so offended by the idea of watching a game without Flash/JD. It's a competition, the reason those guys aren't here in place of Fantasy/Calm is because they couldn't hack it against the likes of hyuk and hogil.

The only reasonable explanation is that Fantasy and Calm conspired to deliver Kwark's comeuppance for abandoning BW write-ups for EVE Online while giving most other fans a good laugh at a series not too many expected to be of high calibre but ended up overdoing it.

Have you ever watched Sea or Light's TvZ? Or even FBH's TvZ a bit back? Have you ever watched Soulkey or Hydra or Zero's ZvT?

There are many awesome TvZs. Most of them don't involve FvJ.

You'll find that it was actually Fantasy that created the Fantasy build back in 2008...not TLO.

If there were good mech maps it would have been 3-0 easily, fantasy's bio is pretty bad though.

This was the first sc I've watched in a while. And to think... in my memories I was impressed with these lil bw pro newbs!

well jk... I liked the double 4 pool attempt. But I was astonished at the errors. The first game I was so confused why Fantasy did NOTHING to prepare for the lurkers he saw on his ramp (and should've foreseen even before that) if he wasn't just going to gg immediately. And then the 2 wraiths killing like 10 drones... in Calm's main was kinda weird in game 2.

woah... normaly I like these writeups but so much hate against decent players like calm and fantasy.... cant you save the "I hate this player and he sucks so much" for players who actualy are "pretty bad" like jaehoon, killer, frozean and those.

Except for that I love that there still are people out there liking BW as much as me, keep it up .

(GOD Young Ho btw)


Oh god.. here we go again..... have you seen Jaehoon's PL record? And he beat Fantasy in his last match as well. Stop hating on the Hoon man c'mon.

Besides that, great writeup. Very funny and I loved the "retrospective part". I would say that I don't necessarily agree that Jaedong's status as a contender with Flash is "falling fast" but I would agree that had Flash not been knocked out of both MSL and OSL, he would have an extremely good chance of winning both.

Looking at this OSL, I have to believe Stork is going to win. Fantasy is a good, possibly even great player, but Stork is playing at such a high level now I have a hard time believing Fanta is gonna take him down.
#1 Jaehoon Fan! 김재훈 화팅!
