Great writeup Hot_Bid! and happy birthday

Typo report:
"Thirty seconds later and it's an easy win for Jaedong."
In the fourth JD-Canata game should of course say that Canata won.

FFS this builds it up so much. I'm sad there are few Protoss to spice things but, but still looking forward to how well Calm does against Jaedong. If he advances to the finals.... oh man, shit will get crazy.

I also LOL'd irl at the descriptions of what won that specific player the game.

Great writeup!

It's basically a long "Jaedong > Effort" tract; how is that excusing Effort's performance?

Are you serious? lol

It's amazing how you can accuse people of bias yet be so biased when you read news, the first four paragraphs are about how Effort is overhyped and not as good as Jaedong.

I don't even remember when or why I voted calm in LB but I guess it paid off. Awesome write-up as usual, glad to see the humor thrown in with the bulk of the article.

bisu still is gonna wipe the floor with iris. bisu has absolutely nothing else to prepare for. ok, after sunday he can start practicing for the pl grand final, but by then he has had almost 2 weeks of preparation for this match. and when it comes to raw talent he´s got the upper hand anyway. if things dont go miserably wrong he should still take that, despite being 0-1 behind.


great article btw, i loved the game descriptions in the titles.
