I hope the young prince crushes Kwanro. I still think kwanro is just on a long flukey streak.

How can you spell Boxer wrong? Nice name for the FBI series.

Though you are correct in the assessment that Canata is hungry for something, and that Jaedong should be worried. All those Jaedong fanboys will cry that he customarily loses the first game, and Canata has the maps going for him which suits to his style for this series.

Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.

Dude, it's true. Nothing about Calm that's relevant to ZvZ makes it seem like he has a chance against Effort.


I wont deny that Effort is the huge favorite (I'll even agree to 3-0 being a good prediction), but the preview has tons of phrases that make me sick

"It's just more important to fans that Effort wins. There is something about a CJ Zerg, the same mystique that surrounds an SK Telecom Terran and to a lesser extent a KTF Protoss. Effort follows in the footsteps of giants, and his journey may seem like its more influenced by destiny than practice."

Fucking gross



Wow, i just was gonnna write exactly the same. Just felt akward.

I agree on the 3-0, i agree on Effort being better (most probably), i actually agree on everything except that a CJ zerg has some special aura . A few players have/had these, it's no team thing.


Btw: For some weird reason, i have NO idea why, i don't like effort... And i like nearly all Zergs.

Why would we cry after he loses the first game, he always does, he'll probably lose the 2nd one as well only to come back and beat him 3-2. That's how it works.

No, seriously, as a Jaedong fan I am very aware that Canata won't be easy to beat at all and we might see an upset.
Although just like against anyone else in the world, he's still the favourite

Canata pretty much ALWAYS goes mech vs Z right? I know that 1 game he went bio vs Savior but that's the only one I can recall. I dont watch too many of his games though just because he's CANATA. I remember watching his game vs by.hero from OSL and being SUPER pissed watching lol.

His lame TvZ may work vs lesser zergs but I don't see him taking more than 1 game off of JD.


the last Bo5 JD lost was to ForGG right? Man, it's hard to believe this is the 1st time JD has made it to the Ro8 of the MSL since Arena MSL.

canata will take jaedong in 5 because canata's soporific TvZ will leave him in slumber by the last game.

That's exactly Jaedong, too.


Awesome writeup, HB. I'm totally stoked, lots of good players up in here and I'm excited to see who will go on and who will get upset in the RO8

Go CJ!

I feel Jaedong is a lot stronger vs mech that in the past so i think the series won't even be close. But we'll see i guess.

Notice it's the STX fans complaining about HB's write up..

As a fan of neither side, I agree with HB; Effort has this 'next big thing' aura written all over him.

Before GOM, I didn't think there would be a question of who Bisu was taking on in the finals when he tries for his 4th MSL...now I think Effort just might beat out Jaedong (again).

Am I the only one with the feeling that Effort's been on a ridiculous, but lucky, tear and will fall spectacularly? I'm thinking Effort gets 0-3'ed in the finals.

Jaedong will DESTROY ALL!

Especially some stupid mech build from (T)Canata. I may lose to mech builds all the time, but JD WILL NOT!
