(Z)Jaedong will Light (T)fantasy's soul on Fire with his death stare, feel bad for him, and lose the First 2 games of the series, again, just to make it fun to watch because deep down he's actually a very Nice torturer of souls who wants SC fans to see a good series.

P.S. Greatest run-on sentence Ever

Lol @ those who say this OSL is lame. Every player has a goal here.

Yarnc: finally shine for the first time in 3 years
Type-b: same, but this is his Royal Road so this is especially important
Jaedong: golden mouse, revenge for PL
Fantasy: finally a gold medal, and not another "king of silver", revenge for previous OSL

But in all honesty, Yarnc vs. Fantasy would be a nice finals too.

I like how all of Fantasy's listed talents aren't actually his... Jaedong has something Fantasy lacks, skill and this is a bo5. Jaedong will once again reassert his dominance for the doubters

Fantasy is just Boxer and iloveoov's pawn. The true tyrant will crush his foolish dreams.

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.


What I find ironic about Fantasy is that even though he is Iloveoov`s protegé, his actual gameplay is more remiscent to NaDa`s Tornado Terran style then the gameplay of either Boxer or Iloveoov.

I guess beacuse of Boxer and Iloveoov, it is hard for an SKT1 Terran to make a name for himself without his fame being at least somewhat attributed to either of the two. Even Canata, the "lesser" protegé, is considered a product of Iloveoov`s efforts.

I really hope Fantasy will advance to the finals. Not because I like him particularly much, but because ZvZ is boring as hell no matter how technical and brilliantit is at heart.

Jaedong is going to go nuts to beat fantasy after this weekend. I expect some kind of crazy build to counter the 8 rax. Hydra ling maybe?

A Royal Roader is someone who wins a (specific) individual title on their first try. Some of the best players in StarCraft were Royal Roaders, hence the reason why many progamers desire to be able to execute such a feat.

So wrong on so many levels. Fantasy has patience which is something most pro-gamers, lack. His defense game sense right now is unmatched; watch his games against JD on Heartbreak ridge and Outsider and tell me otherwise.

+ Show Spoiler +
Regarding the PL finals I'm pretty sure that oov didn't tell Fantasy to save up 12 tanks to win and rough out the swarm


Fantasy's mechanics and micro may not be on par with JD, but his creativity and game sense are a direct counter to JDs brutality.

8rax already has a counter, but it doesn't matter, the build isn't a 8rax build and it wasn't dedicated to bunker rushing - it was meant to either punish a FE/Fast Muta build or to hurt a zergs economy.

I have so many conflicting views on this OSL. I was originally rooting for Yarnc to take it all especially since he's so deserving of a title after his long career. Undoubtedly, Yarnc has a much better chance against Fantasy than against Jaedong b/c his ZvT is so elite and refined and Jaedong's ZvZ is the best in the world (I'm going to ignore all Hyuk comments). But after seeing what happened to Jaedong last week was truly crushing. I pray that Jaedong takes the opportunity to shred Fantasy into pieces and somewhat avenge his Oz teammates after a crushing but hard fought loss against SKT1. In the end if either Yarnc or Jaedong gets the gold I will be happy. But for the love of god, Jaedong, pummel Fantasy into the ground...

Oh...and I hate iloveoov with a passion.
