While I rarely have time to watch BW, I just couldn't miss the OSL Finals. Totally worth it.

Fantasy's play in Game 5 was just so disappointing. He pretty much had it and then threw it away... *sigh*

How can you have no runner up for "story of the tournament" then the next section is dedicated to Jangbi's Cindirella's story. Doesn't make any sense.
But well, overall it was a great read as usual so I forgive you for this mistake <3

Story of the tournament:

How is legend of the fall, revival of protoss, one of the two most ridiculed player in the last years (together with HoeJJa) winning not a fantastic, awesome story?

I don't get it. To me this was one of the most fantastic storylines ever.

When I read this article I was immediately depressed by KwarK's part. Maybe his analysis should have been placed at the end....

I almost feel like KwarK was trying to find mistakes rather then analyzing the series.

I wonder what rank the MyStarleague finalists were, seeing as though none of them won a single game against the pros and all... You should compete, Kwark! Believe me when I say I would LOVE to commentate your OSL prelims games :D

No way in hell I'd be able to read the opponent on the fly as well as Fantasy, let alone execute it. I couldn't have gotten into the position Fantasy was in. My vantage point as an observer is better than his as a player, it's not unreasonable claim I can see his mistakes and his opportunities. That doesn't change the fact that once the natural stops mining the game is done, losing the second gas would have made even observers prohibitively expensive for JangBi, equally every interceptor loss would be expensive. He had everything he needed right there and let it slip away.

In response to the first battle report, I believe Jangbi opened with 11 nexus, but perhaps I miscounted.
So close, and yet so far

Well.

After mourning (kinda) Fantasy's back-to-back OSLs that weren't meant to be, the Proleague finals and soo's prematurely ended Royal Road, I figured there has to be something good to take from all of this: if JangBi could pull this out, so can Bisu next time.




nonono, JangBi will next time as well!!

Beautiful recap, great job writers!!

I'll never forget the 1st ep of OldBoy where Jangbi watched Nal_Ra's game against GoGo i think, not knowing it was Nal_Ra's game, and saying he has 0% chance of qualifying based on that play. =p

Jangbi can be really ruthless lol.

... Given his consistently awe-inspiring play, it’s not hard to understand how he became everyone's underdog favorite. soO quickly became a hero for Zerg and SKT fans alike, two fan bases tragically deprived of top players to rally around these days. After a hard-fought and completely deserved victory over Killer in the quarterfinals in spite of every disadvantage KeSPA could throw at him, soO’s courageous fight against the odds sadly ended in just three quick games in the semi-finals. It was a day of mourning for the fans, for Bunkie, and for StarCraft ...

Finally, I was looking forward to reading this. I'm glad I found the time, wonderful article, and as always, a thank you to the writers. Definitely one of the most memorable OSL finals.

well with oov retiring, give it some time and you'll have a pretty good shot at taking a series off fantasy

Great write up man.. I loved watching this OSL being a huge Fantasy fanboy, was nice to see Jangbi win it all though!

Killer's games were extremely entertaining to watch but nothing compares to those finals! Amazing to watch
