Haha, it's so true. Losing Batoo really pissed fantasy off. It may be premature, but I smell epic rivalry.

On the one hand, fantasy has decided "Never again...", and on the other, JD is in his familiar state of vengeful bloodlust. There hasn't been a semifinal this epic since Stork vs BeSt for all the marbles, iirc.

Hahah Jaedong will kill Fantasy. Fantasy can only win if Jd slips up or if out smart JD. He can never beat him straight - and in a best of 5? no way!

Jaedong is angry and Fantasy stands on his way.

Am I the only one who is sick of articles raving about oov and boxer's influence on fantasy? Any time fantasy does anything remotely creative it's all whoa shit look at how boxer has been teaching him. It's especially egregious given that we know very little about actual team dynamics due to the language barrier. Not everything that happens in SKT is the result of boxer or oov and if any other player had done what fantasy had done nobody would think twice about it.

anyway it's a nice addition to his very solid executed macro style strategies

Go Fantasy!

DAMN
I like all the players in the semis.
So no matter who makes it to the finals, I'm gonna be happy.
Unfortunately, I just don't know if Yellow[arnc] or Type-b have what it takes to take on Fantasy or Jaedong.

Cell was an villain who defeated others and stole their strength by draining their energy with his tail. Every time he defeated someone he became more powerful, to the point where he was basically unstoppable.


I forget, how did Cell die again?

Excellent writeup.
That's not awful writing, DAMMIT. It's perfectly sensical english construction.

No Terran has influenced the modern strategy of Starcraft moreso than Fantasy.


Maybe in TvZ. While Flash isn't as strong in TvP as Fantasy, I'd say him almost completely obsoleting carriers (as opposed to strict counters builds to whatever Jaedong is doing) is an equivalent or moreso shift in modern starcraft.

Other than that (I know it's a hype article so hyperbole is a bit needed), fine article.

This is so true.

Why can't Fantasy get any credit for his own accomplishments. Okay, so his seniors and coaches help, but it's not like Boxer and Oov are the only Terrans capable of creative play, ever. Jesus Christ.

You said it better than I ever could.

I think, for the first time as a Jaedong fan...I am afraid.

If fantasy wins, yarnc will take this osl. Yarnc's zvt is better than jaedong's, yes let me repeat this. Yarnc's zvt is better than jaedong's.

hahaha poor fantasy fans... so angry that he still has no titles

I liked fantasy before he developed a rivalry with my favorite player, and I still like him and his creative plays, but fantasy fans are getting almost as annoying as beesuit fans :\

Jaedong has 7 golds and 2 silvers. fantasy has...... 2 silvers. The last time jaedong lost a best of 5 was against his teammate, forgg.... in 2008. fantasy is going to get crushed (again). sorry but it's true.

and what is this bullshit about fantasy "claiming" "what's rightfully his"? it's not 'rightfully' yours unless you win. period. cmon riptide. your bias is showing.

edit: plexa, in your summary at the bottom you left out that if Jaedong wins the OSL gold, he'll join the exclusive club of people with a golden mouse (you did mention he's a "candidate" above)
