Nice writeup! I like the contrast between "light" and "dark" styles of Protoss. Really don't know who to root for, though I agree the numbers favor Best.

This is going to be epic. Nice hype Plexa, I feel nobody was giving this series the hype it deserves -

the top 2 PvP players of ALL TIME
in an OSL Bo5
with a 15-game winstreak on the line
and about 50 silver medals between them
AND a nasty history
AND the Legend of the Fall at play?

This series is going to be amazing.

At least Stork will get destroyed in the semifinals this time around, I don't see him beating Best at the moment. SKT1 final!

Edit gogo.

Love the extensive write up.

Hoping for a BeSt sweep, too.

Great writeup Plexa!
I really enjoyed reading about both players' history and styles and the analysis on how they can counter each other.
I am really looking forward to this series. Too bad it will only last 2 games, as Stork will collapse under the pressure of being dismantled in the first 2 sets. Game 3 will be a walk in the park for BeSt. Bye bye Nerdy Toss.

All that talk and hype for the both of them and in the end your predictions are Best will beat Stork 3 - 0 hahaha . Well Best has been dominateing PvP recently . I don't care if he is on some 123132 winning streak Stork will take at least one game if not the whole series . And the so called changeing of the PvP kings in EVER 2008 from just 1 game on andromeda where Best Proxy 2 gated

You know whats sad about this OSL though?
Even if BeSt gets to finals and we see oov's apprentice vs kingdom's apprentice,
this final will never be more epic than iloveoov vs kingdom

This was literally the first write-up I've read in years. I had pretty much given up on following the pro scene (the last series I kept up with was oov vs. reach on mercury), but this was such a good article that I'm gonna be refreshing the live commentary threads like mad. And of course, I can't wait for the battlereports :D

Excellent read Plexa

Pusans facial expression @ 15:50-16:00 when he finds BeSts hidden 3rd nexus is priceless. It was pretty awesome how they both went early nexuses, but (P)

BeSt managed to sneak in one extra, and then barely holding off Pusans attack. Must see for any PvP fans

Oh and I really hope Stork wins, so tired of everyone talking about BeSts streak and 80% PvP. Yes it's cool and all, but people werent talking about Oovs 27-0 TvZ strek and his matchup percentages 24/7 when he was dominating.

Brilliant write up, I hope Best humiliates Stork with a 3-0, but I also want tense close games, so tough

Also Bisu the reaver/carrier type? I thought he was more of the "dark" side as he almost always goes Arbs and DTs
