Dude, Fantasy is fucked. I'm positive Jaedong will sprout horns out of his back and start spitting acid spines into Fantasy's booth once he puts him down 3-0.

Jaedong's got balls, he can lose a few and it won't matter to him. I suspect his depression at PL finals was a show, to make Fantasy overconfident! Remember last OSL? Jaedong lost 2 games, his mother is pretty much having a seizure of sadness and then Jaedong just calmly thinks "oh yeah, that's right, I kinda gotta win these finals and smack down this upstart". And you know what happened? Know what's gonna happen AGAIN!

As for comments that Fantasy never beats Jaedong in a straight up game means that fantasy cannot MnM him to death, which is true. But when does Fantasy use bionic SK Terran style to win his games...

+1. I for one think that oov and boxer get waaaaaaay too much credit. Fantasy is the one behind the mouse.

AAHHH. I ant make up my mind, JD of Fantasy??? that is the question. Both deserve it (perhaps fantasy deserves a bit more), and I like both players some much why cant they both win! ether outcome for me is gonna make me fill sorry for the loser.

Fantasy/Jaedong rivalry > Flash/Jaedong rivalry.

Fantasy and Jaedong play such incredibly high-stakes games against eachother. OSL finals, PL finals, and now OSL semis? One man going for the Golden Mouse, the other hungry to earn a win after making the finals twice in a row and falling just an inch short? Everything that was ever great about SKT Terran against the fastest, fiercest, and best Zerg of all time?

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? Find out on Friday
May the BeSt man win.

The OSL curse, I believe it and I fear it. In the final, I see Fantasy vs. type-b, with the swarm overcoming the pride of war.
Shorts down shorts up, BOOM, just like that.

JD vs fantasy is basically the finals. Whoever wins is the heavy favorite.
That being said, I wouldn't say no to either 2 zvz finals (osl/msl) or watching type B walk the royal road.

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


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.

Wow patience...that so awesome. What your telling me is basically Fantasy is a camper without the Flash like macro... how can you not root for that...
I've seen all the games and every time Fantasy wins its in a gimmick, on hb in pro-league JD stuck to hard to mutalisks and was unable to scourge each and every valk (something like that, it's been a while). In the outsider game, the whole strategy failed, the fast tech to guardians was awful, only by herculean feats of skill was Jd able to bring that game to within a inch of victory. Fantasy saved up his 12 tanks because everything he brought out got absolutely ravaged (so many gosu dead vessels), that's not exactly brilliance. Fantasy has excellent unit balance, he always has whatever he needs at the right times, I will attribute that one talent to his TvZ, beyond that he's mediocre

lol, nice way to use Yellow as a scapegoat to mask your obvious and ignorant Terran favoring bias Plexa. It's an unfortunate trend with the mods here. I really don't see why that is though. What is there to like about Terrans? They're annoying, weak, little trigger-happy, hamburger-eating Americans who excel at sitting in one spot or ending games rapidly. And if you use average win percentages at virtually every player level as a guide, they're overpowered as well.

And no, I'm not an American :p

Honestly, Yarnc came through the most difficult group known to mankind. He had Effort, Flash and Jaedong to battle it out with – and he came out on top. Against every odd, Yarnc made it. He then crushed go.go with relative ease and has now made the semifinals. This performance is long overdue, and personally, I will be cheering my heart out for Yarnc.


What are you talking about?

I don't want fantasy to advance, ZvZ finals would be epic.

I'd be happy seeing any Zerg win the whole thing.
<Wolfpox> i remember when MVP beat that one guy, and everyone was like 'whoa' except that penguin dude.
