Best is simply on another level at the moment, he only just lost out to an inform Stork (best PvP in the world) in Bacchus OSL - and this time he's going all the way.


Jangbi's last PvP adventure was a pair of games against Stork, which he won. But Stork sucks, so who cares?

Who cares that he beat the best pvp in the world?

Awesome writeups. I love that finally BackHo's skills are getting acknowledged. I am not really a BackHo fan, but he has been on a roll recently and it seems like everyone has wanted to keep pretending like every game he wins is some crazy fluke.

Great coverage!

important to note is that Stork sucks right now, and that without doubt Best has the best PvP in the world. Stork was the best PvP from around late 05 through to today (imo atleast) which he inherited from Reach. There was a bit of a fight for the title between himself and Bisu - but that was settled in Ever07. Then after he completely blew out after Bacchus he just lost it. He wasn't playing like the stork we use to know and well, Bests PvP is just better.

Basically, keep in mind the timing of events when you make those comparisons.

"The kid that nobody believed in walked over Jaedong and Casy to qualify for the OSL - then defeated Much and Bisu to qualify as D1"

Oh really? I found this amusing as they where two 100% cheese games, after GGplay raping the shit out of (not so) poor backho. And his win versus bisu isn't as impressive if you take Bisu's wrist into account.

Is it obvious that I really don't like backho?

Very nice anyway, I'm 200% hoping for luxury to win, the reason why I see a clear favor for the terran is because of the map since every map in the OSL is terran favoured in TvZ. Check TLPD and watch some games if you don't believe me. I just hope this trend in maps change soon since balanced TvZ is one of the greatest things there is in starcraft.

My prediction for the games is this: Flash will play standard or cheese. If he plays standard, Luxury will try some different builds and stuff to overcome the map dissadvantage. You will marvel at his nice play and think that he might take it, but in the end, the more boring, turtling terran will come out on top and we will be left with an appetite for some more balanced maps next season. Not saying they are bad, I love to play on them, I just don't wanna see my zergs get fucked by the map pool.

I don't see any reason Flash won't win the entire thing. None of the players there seem to have a chance against him.

There has only been 1 player that has won the OSL twice in a row, and that player is Boxer. So, do you feel lucky, punk? There aren't that many people that are better than Boxer.

That said, I think Best has a legimate chance at taking him out. Maybe Jangbi, if he makes it that far, which I sincerely doubt.

Jangbi's last PvP adventure was a pair of games against Stork, which he won. But Stork sucks, so who cares? Jangbi is in for a hellacious time with BackHo, simply because if BackHo's builds counter Jangbi's in any way, he is dead.


yeah I know fakesteve, stork has horrible pvp

Yeah FS, Stork sucks so bad. In fact, everyone agrees that the biggest hurdle for jangbi in the tiebreakers was Nada, not stork right? Bullshit. Ok, we all know you hate the guy but he's far away from bad. Although I agree his PvP has definitely gone downhill(losing to 5 PvP games out of 6), he's pretty much even in the amount of wins and losses.

Imho Stork is indeed not the killer toss he used to be, but he's still pretty far away from bad.


Thats probably the only thing I disagreed on, everything else was great.
