May have overstated the terror of Fantasy's play a bit. Powerful plays tend to seem even more powerful when done against an opponent not strong enough to repel them. Nestea has fallen far from what he once was, and although I won't deny Fantasy did some cool shit, I'm not sure how well constant drop harass will fare against the best zergs.

Nice article. Im rooting for Parting, Flash, Flying and DRG. I really want a Flash vs. DRG final. Too bad i cant catch Parting v. Rain tomorrow, but i cant wait for Flash/Last.

imo, give it some more time and having an OSL title will > having a GSL title.

I'm really liking Parting's odds at making the finals. His PvP should be able to take down Rain (volatility be damned) and his PvT rivals the best. Of course whoever he meets in the finals will be a monstrous opponent regardless. Still, it looks pretty good for a Startale fan!

I only really want a GOM player to win, hopefully vs a kespa in the finals.

Dear Khas, it's 'whether', not 'weather'

As for OSL, I'd love to watch it, but from the VoD quality I've seen thus far, it isn't worth the price.

Great writeup as usual, except for calling Rain and Parting underdogs. Rain is hands down the best KeSPA player at the moment and Parting's PvP is code S average, meaning he could beat any P in a good day, after that he would be facing a T and I doubt anybody on his right mind could call Parting an underdog vs any T in the world.

I actually see Parting and Rain as the strongest players on that half of the bracket, the winner of those two will probably face (and lose to) MC on the finals.

honestly i see the winner of rain/parting winning everything, aside from a pontential parting vs drg match which drg should win

Although I don't think I'd call Rain or PartinG underdogs. Rain is looking like the best Kespa player, while if Parting wins, he'll be facing a Terran, and I wouldn't call Parting an underdog versus any Terran.

parting vs flash if parting was playing well would be SO amazing.

Excellent writeup! I enjoyed reading it all. It really shows how important OSL is to the players, I guess we're all in for a great round of eight! Go PartinG and Flash!
