Excellent write-up.

One can only hope JD isn't too demoralized after the PL finals and will take this and the MSL to become one of the legends. It would be a good way to end SC1 progaming.

Because if you don't slip up or get out-smarted that means you've played a perfect game. You obviously don't lose when you've played a perfect game.

Pretty sad that you don't think that Fantasy has played straight-up and beaten Jaedong. :/

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.

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

GG I cannot see how you are so stupid. I just honestly can't comprehend a stupidity so great as yours. Patience =/= camping. Patience = knowing when to do what and not panicking when the shit hits the fan.

HBR game Fantasy didn't even need those valkyries. Watch the game FFS.

I see what you're saying, and all I'm getting from it is that JD sucks. Great!

Fantasy's macro was great and he was able to go toe-to-toe with JD in the middle of Outsider. You're pretty dull to think that he got absolutely ravaged. The only thing that got ravaged were his SVs, which did their job in taking out JD's defilers.

I think you're still bitter about Fantasy beating JD because your post is so ridiculously biased. I just couldn't help but play devil's advocate.




It's pretty stupid that a lot of haters try to put Fantasy down by saying that BoxeR and iloveoov did all the work. Imagine that there's a man who has to walk on some narrow planks that wind left and right and eventually end up somewhere. Problem is, the man is blind so he can't navigate around without falling off. There's another man that helps the blind man --- guess what, not by telling him take one step, turn right now, take two steps, turn left now, etc, etc --- but by telling him to walk slowly, use his foot to feel the edges, and to spread his arms out to balance himself. If the blind man managed to complete this feat, would anyone say, "wtf the other guy helped him get to the end, he did all the work and the blind man did nothing!" Seems pretty stupid and ridiculous doesn't it? The more I look at it, the more ridiculous I find it. It seriously just blows my mind how stupid the argument that BoxeR and iloveoov deserve the most credit is. All they did was help Fantasy practice and give him tips and advice, as did the "other man". BoxeR and iloveoov can't take so much credit, as neither can the "other man".

It's stupid to argue Fantasy doesn't have skill. What would be interesting is whether he'd still be the favorite if the roles were switched, and Jaedong had two amazing Zerg minds dissecting every element of Fantasy's game.

Also, sweet writeup, can't wait. I just want Jaedong to crush :-/

Well, third is the charm, Fantasy has this.

Of course Jaedong will put up a fight but if he loses the first game then he'll be shaken, you just don't pick yourself up from a 3 game losing streak and be able to play solid again. Not to mention that that 3 game losing streak was your team's chance to winning the ProLeague, 2 of those 3 games were against the same player, and one of those games that he lost was his best match up - not to mention he lost to a T1 Zerg. Maybe Jaedong can pull this one out, but he really needs to pick himself up good.

I thought I couldn't get more hyped not only for JaeDong putting fantasy in his place and also seeing YArnC possibly get a title to his name as I think he deserves, but you managed to - not bad for a kiwi. Nice work Plexa.

It's unfortunate that Jaedong has these kinds of fans because he deserves much better.

Hoping for a Yarnc v Fantasy final, I want either of them to win this OSL. Though of course, I really want Fantasy to take this OSL. Gogogo League Terrorist!

JD and Fantasy will goto 5, and JD will win it. For the record, I think fantasy is the best terran anyone could ask for in a BoX. Time for another Golden Mouse club member.

In the proleague fantasy had the mental edge the entire time, SKT is the better team on paper and though the pressure was high, it was certainly manageable. As soon as JD runs over him in one of these games its going to be a crash and burn, just like last time MARK MY WORDS.

This is best summed up by using simple substitution with a well known metaphor:

Fantasy: Hey JD, how about them pro league finals, <crashing plane SFX go here> crashed and burn, huh JD.
Jaedong: Hey Fantasy...sniff...You stink.

Progamer Korea Open, which is the first OSL, (well, kinda) had a ZvZ final - Freemura vs TheBoy


The Tooniverse StarLeagues qualify as the first OSL`s, since Tooniverse belongs under the same television network as OnGameNet. Considering that gaming was stigmatised even in Korea back in the late 90`s, I seriously doubt the Progamer Korea Open was ever televised or even recorded.

Why even hold type.b v yarnac.

Whoever wins Fantasy v Jaedong will win the finals 100%, making for one of the worst possible finals in recent memory (calling it now).
