Wowwwww what an impressive piece of work.
Imagine if Jaedong really did what he did in the story, what would have happened after Winner's League? Grow nails and suck Hiya's blood? Turn Hiya into karpshimi?

Now, how about we wash that down with this great interview with Hwaseung's own Coach Cho, translated by the machine formerly known as Konadora.

Noooooo Kona come back :[ I miss you.

EffOrt lost to (T)

Iris and to (Z)

Calm. His mental condition is suffering from these loses.

Unfortunately, this is greatly decreasing chances of CJ.

Thanks for spoilering

Jaedong and Effort? This is really all down to whether movie or BackHo can carry their team better.

Jaedong will win against effort four times in those two days, and everyone will not only forget the name Kim Jung Woo but sAviOr will officially announce Jaedong as his Heir (Apparent, tee hee).

The comic story was just incredible. Great read.

My favorite part:
The words spill out before he can stop them and the man bites his tongue and watches the hairs on the back of the boy's neck stand up. The kid spins around, his left hand still tapping at the keys, and the man looks at the screen dancing behind him. The kid isn't even looking, he thinks. The kid isn't even looking and yet the symphony goes on.

It will be up to the Protoss King of Dragons and the House of Boxer to stop the tide of the swarm.

As it should be.

CJ, Oz...bring it.

I somehow doubt that Savior's okay with Effort being the new zerg....

But that's artistic licences for you. Making a good story at the sake of truthfulness.

GREAT article guys, a big hug to everyone involved and congrats on your blue, Riptide!

This article is such a good hype and also has a lot of "depth"

As well as having all the facts. You guys make StarCraft more enjoyable and that's huge.

Keep 'em comin,

EDIT: ah yes my position, I hope Jaedong wins this. Although Effort winning would be epic and CJ is my favourite team of the two, Jaedong is Jaedong and I think he has it coming. I really respect how each of them prioritized the proleague in their practice schedules, especially since they are such pillars of strength within their teams.
