Well skt1 has the constant loser (T)Canata, why do people put their hopes in this guy? In my biased heart, (T)Canata is always the underdog to EVERY opponent. He is like the Terran (P)TerAtO

Sorry, but if you think that, then you're just plain misinformed. Canata's been playing quite well as of late, and his TvT has always been his strong point (his TvP isn't as good, but day 2 is less contested than day 1). Even on a bad day, Canata is no worse than Lomo in any matchup that isn't TvZ (which isn't relevant to this series).

Lol, hands down.

I am heart broken that I don't have internet for the weekend. Not a happy camper. Not happy at all.

Great writeup there, really got me even more excited for the Grand Final than I was before.

I'm rooting for neither team, really, being neutral in my opinions of them both, but I just can't wait to see some of the best games of SC ever as I'm sure they will be.

I've got a feeling that we will be in for a few surprises, particularly from those we consider to be the weaker players in the lineups.

if anybody's a cocky young general, it's Bisu

Remind me again which player said he'd make this week Jaedong Week.

Was it Bisu?

Remind me again which player gave Jaedong horrible stats in the GOM special match and then had to eat his words by loosing.

Was it Bisu?

Yes it was.

And imho saying that he will make this week Jaedong week isn't cocky as much as it is being confident.

Anyway I'll stop this fanboyism before I kill myself. I actually like T1 and Bisu a whole lot to. I just prefer to root for the underdog.

That's kind of a double standard in my opinion. "If Bisu talks boldly, it's arrogance, but if Jaedong talks boldly, it's confidence."

Then again, nobody ever gave Savior flak for saying "I will destroyed everyone in 2009" when he failed to do so except in Heritage and at the beginning of 2009.

Every player speaks a little cocky sometimes. It's just a shame that there's rampant blind fanboyism everywhere and people hate Bisu just because he plays Protoss/he's on SKT1 more or less.

PR's also a double standard. Don't see you complaining in that.
