Daigomi knows where there's buried treasure.


On Friday the final group of the EVER OSL was sorted out and we now have our 8 quarter-finalists. Coming into Friday's action Best had already mauled his way through NaDa, Janbi, and Stork, so it was up to one of these three to meekly limp their way through and join him.

Game One: Stork vs JangBi on Hwarangdo

http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=l9OH5GPpa5Y


+ Show Spoiler [Game Notes] +
In a battle of teammates JangBi just asserted himself as the top dog in the Samsung house. Somehow he managed to have more zealots the entire game despite the fact that he proxy gated inside Stork's main and was fighting both probes and zealots. A true clinic of zealot play.


Game Two: NaDa vs Jangbi on Andomeda

http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=EfWTSOvkkIw


+ Show Spoiler [Game Notes] +
7 minutes into that video NaDa mercilessly sent two marines into 7 goons in order to save his tank. Karma is a bitch. With NaDa's first push crushed, JangBi was free to expand and mass relentlessly into the midgame. NaDa wasn't able to get an army out of his chokes to secure a new base until JangBi had half the map. Uninspiring.





The next round matchups are set, and while Plexa and I will write a full preview this week, here is a sneak peak.

Game 1 of 3

(T)Flash < Troy > (Z)Luxury
With 5 protoss for Flash to feast on, drawing Luxury is a bit of an enigma. I mean, he is going to have to crush him with marine medic instead of tank goliath. HOW WILL HE COPE?

(P)BeSt < Hwarangdo > (P)Much
Best is a monster. Period. Much... well lets put it this way. Say "Much, OSL Champion" out loud. Does it sound funny? I think you have your answer.

(Z)July < Andromeda > (P)Rock
[image loading]
July vs Rock circa 2005.
I believe in mice made of gold.


(P)BackHo < Othello > (P)JangBi
JangBi snuck in by the (non-existent) hair on his chinny-chin-chin, but his draw is about as fortunate as it could be. That being said, BackHo murdered his way through Much and Bisu so flip a coin here.

Enjoy the games!

A clinic? Or...a hospital?

He'll probably just crush him with tank goliath anyways.

Who says Flash cannot just metal his way over Luxury?

BackHo appears to be on a PvP tear lately, so better watch out for him here.

Much will win a title before his hair turns grey.

Lux could 5pool and kill the assimilators like he did against Bisu in last season's group stages.
That's not awful writing, DAMMIT. It's perfectly sensical english construction.

Backho defeated Much, Bisu and Kal (2-0) lately. These guys may not be PvP kings, but neither is JangBi.
I think we will have a cheese fest here, fairly bad games, with BackHo somehow coming out on top.
Lecaf ftw in all tourneys.

I also thought that Blackho was going to take out Jangbi in PvP. Isn't much against like...Free or something? Or maybe that's the MSL.

Go fuck yourself. I was asking why they didn't include a longer explanation of the games ahead, and just hold off the post to later so they could include everything. I was not trolling, I was not pissed. Prick.

allow me to do your reading for you

better to have previews closer to the time rather than ridiculously in advance
