the Bacchus OSL 2009 is not only the first "modern OSL" (the first OSL since Daum restored the tournament's original format) without a Protoss quarterfinalist — it's the first without a Protoss semifinalist.
Wait, I don't get this. Quarterfinals are before the semifinals. Wouldn't it be reversed then? "without a Protoss semifinalist - it's the first without a Protoss quarterfinalist."
Oh nvm, I get it. It means every previous OSL has had a protoss make it to semi-finals, and THIS one in particular no one has made it to the quarters. Ignore me.

i was confused as well. i read it like 8x and even doubted my knowledge of what semis and quarterfinals were. it's really late

Nice writeup, but this ro8 looks really weak.
The only players who ever were in a final befor are Jaedong and Fanta.
Ppl like gogo, type-b and canata in the Ro-8? C'mon what a shame. If JD does not take this i will be pissed. The 2 zergs and the 2 Terrans still could give trouble to him but still, JD is the heavy favorite

I had read the whole thing but it was 4 AM in germany and I overlooked a few sentences, like the one you quoted, as well as this one:

"Dark Age of Protoss" "Terran Massacre" - seems like doom has come to this world.

JWD:
I don't think it is accurate to compare A-/B+ players with pros. Either way, you DID actually have a larger Protoss uprising if we use your model - you had 6 Dragons. Even when T or Z are rampaging you don't see 6 dominant players in the same time span.

The bracket gods clearly hate Zero most of all.

I have a strong feeling that Type-B will pull an upset against Leta. My prediction is a Yarnc vs Jaedong final.
|
Actually, I take that back. go.go is going to take the title. He's going to bunker rush twice against Yarnc. If Leta advances, go.go is going to float his CC and suicide his SCV's against each other and when Leta sees that he has nothing, he'll type something cause he thought go.go hacked and Kespa will DQ him for typing. Against JD in the final, he's going to talk to him the night before and continue talking to him until JD turns fatigue. JD will lose the finals due to lack of sleep. So there you have it. Your next OSL Champion is go.go!!!

Wouldn't suprise me if YarnC reached the final, or even won the whole thing. I totally agree — he's been playing really well lately against super tough opponents. I expect him to make the finals, but JD or Fantasy would be more than a match for him there. No Protoss remaining makes me think that this OSL is Yarnc's big chance, and I bet he feels the same way.
Yarnc would be a harder opponent than JD for Fantasy. In fact, right now the only worse opponent for a T would be Flash (just going by elo). Even going off of their games, I think this. Yarnc's weird opening builds would be much harder for Fantasy to adapt to. (Who else but yarnc would ever have opened 12 pool in zvt vs Flash?). I think yarnc is at his best vs mech, as well.

JD will drop the zvz again, because losing to effort DEFINATELY means he's in a slump, right?
