The last game really wasn't Effort's fault.
Cross positions is easier to defend than a next door neighbor because it takes a longer time for lings to arrive and by that time, your own lings will pop.

But yeah, a calm vs kwanro finals would be terrible, while a Bisu vs Jaedong finals would be epic.
It's a shame that the proleague finals is approaching so swiftly.

I really want to see Calm vs Bisu. Calm's probably got the best ZvP in the business right now (yes, including Jaedong's). Not that Jaedong vs Bisu would be in any way a bad series.

Final Possibilities:
Calm vs Bisu - best possible final imo
Jaedong vs Bisu - most likely final and second best possible
Jaedong vs Iris - second most likely final, wildly unpredictable quality but probably a JD 3-1.
Calm vs Iris - probably favors Calm, but he's not Jaedong in this MU. Calm 3-2?
Calm vs Zero - no idea.
Calm vs Kwanro - 3-1 for Kwanro.
Jaedong vs Zero - ought to be 3-0 for JD. Might be the upset of the year if S-class Zero shows up.
Jaedong vs Kwanro - no. Just no.

alright after reading it another 4-5 times I see what your intent was. It's just that the part about "what went wrong" with the bullet-pointed list just sorta seemed like excuses to me at 1st and I let it cloud the rest of the article.


I'm still so proud of Calm for pulling through in such a good fashion though :D

In the recap for JD vs Canata game 2 I believe Canata 14ccs into 2 rax rather than 2 rax into fast expansion.
Excellent writeup though.

nice work, but pulling assumptions out of your ass that proleague matters more to the players than individual leagues is ridiculous imo... even if they say that shit in an interview, its because they have to and not because its necessarily true... I just dont like when people state their own opinion/assumption as known fact.

Yes, surely the coaches, the players, and everyone involved with the scene for the past 5 years are lying. I mean it's not like coaches and players NEVER admit to letting players prioritize individual leagues over PL.

Wait, no, that's a lie. Savior, Nada, July? Plenty of players get the go ahead to forego PL practice, but right now it is more important to them to win PL, and to think otherwise is akin to being some crazy starcraft conspiracy nut.

PL is obviously the most important to team owning companies and without no sponsors the teams can't exist. I'm sure everyone can figure out the rest.

Your an idiot and should be banned.

Jaedong just did his job... and now he will take away the MSL from Bisu, too. Rawr.

This wasnt about what is most important to the team owning companies but what is most important to the individual players. Claiming that its proleague is just completely unjustified imo. More money and prestige is earned in individual leagues, why should professional, competetive players regard proleague more important personally??

You should've thought one step further, at least that's what I expected

With the enormous pressure the players get from their teams, the team organized practice time with a heavy, heavy bias towards PL, the recognition from the coaches, etc this obviously also becomes a part of the players' mentality.
Also please bear in mind that we are not talking about a random r2 PL game against some scrub here, but about Hwaseung's penultimate match of a one year season. At this point it is pretty much all or nothing.

If Jaedong wins an individual league this season (either MSL or OSL), then yes his achievements are greater. But for now, Savior's still more accomplished -- but even I, a huge Savior fan, can see the writing on the wall. It's only a matter of time now until we have a consensus Best Zerg Ever.



I for one can't wait for that time to come. It was good, as I'm a massive jaedong fan, to see effort put in his place.
