Great writeup! Only one question - didn't Jaedong beat Flash in MSL first before Flash came back and beat him in Bacchus? Or are you referring to the first game of the BO3, followed by the MSL, followed by games 2 and 3 of the BO3?

Plexa is awesome, I just love your articles man.
I also think this OSL belongs to Fantasy, everything is pointing at his direction atm.
I really really hope JD can get himself together, it would be too much for me to lose him... I already lost savior and that hurt(s) like hell.

The thing is, if JD recovers mentally for the semis and THEN loses to Fantasy...
That could have serious consequences. Whatever happens, we are going to see one hell of a match.

Plexa...I came...amazing write up as usual, Jaedong/Fantasy summarizes some of my feelings around the recent events. I am slowly converted to the belief that Fantasy with oov and Boxer behind his back can become the greatest TvZ player of all time...I mean I have never seen someone crush Jaedong's spirit like that...it's JAE FUCKING DONG!

I can still vividly remember By.Fantasy and By.Flash when they started breaking into the scene and I remember watching their replays, their plays just had that magic and instinct to it you knew they where destined for something great.

"Hell, it's about time"

That Fantasy wins his first OSL!

I'm a zerg player and a long-time Jaedong fanboy but I have a lot of respect for Fantasy. Game 1 in the PL was epic and I think it demonstrates this rivalry perfectly.

Jaedong/Fantasy could become the most epic SC rivalry ever. Jaedong is in my opinion the most skilled player in the game. The way he plays and how he controls his units is simply amazing. There's no other player that so often makes me think "how the hell does he do that?" His attitude and work ethic is that of a true champion.

It's true that having oov and Boxer to help him makes a dfifference but the people saying Fantasy is not a great player are off base. It's not just the builds. He's a very smart player. He's patient and has great game sense. He's very good at reading the situation and reacting to his opponent intelligently.

This bo5 is going to be epic. ZvT has always been the most interesting matchup and these players represent their races so well. Jaedong is the raw, merciless ferociousness of the zerg. Fantasy is smart, patient and calm like a veteran space marine. This is a battle between a warrior and a monster.

Whoever wins, this isn't going to be over between these guys.

and second match ofc fantasy, but thats no reason to hype.
All what KT currently needs is a Zerg and a second Terran

Nice write-up, although this irked me a bit:

[Yarnc]'s play looked far more convincing than his brother’s, yet Luxury managed to win an MSL (yes, the calibre of players was terrible, but it still counts).


I think a zerg player running through (T)Hwasin, (T)Leta(great series!)], (Z)ZerO, and (P)JangBi at that time was pretty good, personally.

Even though I'm really hoping for a Yarnc-Fantasy final, as long as the JD-Fantasy series goes 5 games, I'll be pretty satisfied, regardless of the outcome.


Yeah, I don't get this flamebaiting. The rest of the article is nice though.

poor jaedong, he might have burned out, and understandably so. Carrying an entire team on your back to the PL finals is no small feat, and obviously it comes at no small price. Maybe his disappointment at having done the nearly impossible and failed on the last steps will shake his foundations enough for fantasy to make his claim for fame.

I really think this is Yarnc's OSL. I am reasonably sure Fantasy will beat Jaedong, and then I think Yarnc's ZvT mastery and unpredictability will overwhelm the young terran.
