Before the has OSL started I wrote Stork would win it and right now there's absolutely nothing which makes me feel unsure 'bout it. Except of the fact that it's a FINAL!! No offense to the rising SKT star, but there's NO WAY fantasy can beat Stork, only his nerves can. Anyway I predict Stork to take this one 3-0.

The MSL is kind of weird nowadays; just to recall the ten biggest surprises:
10. Frozean lost to Nada and stopped the gayest bo3 ever from happening (pretty vs. cuteangel)
9. only players from 4 groups in the ro8 (kind of mysterious)
8. Best didn't qualify
7. Flash got eliminated at group stage even without facing Jangbi
6. JD lost to free
5. FBH beat Tempest
4. FBH beat Bisu
3. FBH beat Much
2. FBH made it to the ro8 facing only Ps
1. read 2-5 again; f*cking hell, can't believe what I'm writing, neither that it's true

-> P only semi-finals
-> Bisu-Stork 3:2
...maybe wrong thread, sorry ;-)

FBH has to move up a fair few places, although he did lose to bogus

Is it against the TL commandments/other rules to ask to ban someone? Even when they are criticizing JD for losing to Sangho when he clearly did not watch the game. Seriously Sangho that game played on a level you would expect out of (actually there aren't any toss that good PvZ right now).

Spoilers for post size.

sangho played well, his attack was perfectly prepared, BUT JD can win from every given situation, like losing his nat, getting proxyed ugly etc. And not only he lost to this, he lost to Free, and he lost to another Zerg player, a noname.
When this happens as polar bear mentioned, the zerg fans/palyers are scaried, yes we are, if JD wont own in starleauges and PL, who would? The twins arent and will never become champions, despite of good results and potential, zerg like Type B, thezerg, Calm are good for couple weeks, than fail to maintain the performence. July and GGplay , sometimes they shine for a few seconds, than go back into the shadows. Damn, i hope Savior gonna be back, altough i still believe that JD is the last and only hope of the zergs.

If this "shit" would happen to let's say Stork, people would say, well np Stork isn't in form, there are Best, Bisu, Jangbi, Free and one million other protosses, we can still cheer for them in the SLs and wait until Stork gots himself together again. But that's not the case with a (the only) zerg Ace.

Zergs are in a terrible shape, previous season they sucked as well, even tough the rules and the maps are helping in this season the zergs, 2 top teams are struggleing because, they dont have zergs (SKT and Khan). In fact the only 2 teams who can rely safely on their zergs is CJ and occasionaly OGN . Lecaf got the best Z but, he's alone, similar is the case of the KTF, STX got Calm and July(they together worth less than JD or Lux, not in every case but mostly), MBC isnt a relyable team so if they win with zergs that does not matter, Wemade isnt a team that can rely on anyone continuosly, the other teams are bad as they are


EDIT: oh sry i forgot to add this, COME BACK SAVIOR, WE NEED YOU!

Come back Savior pls,we need you!!! But also, pull your shit back together JD,we need you even more. Also,I see,that the situation for Zergs is terrible,and they won't win a Starleague this season,but I feel,the situation is much better,than last season. Last season zergs won two starleagues(Jd and July),and Luxury was great,but in that season,we could not see shine any other players. There were no zergs sent out to ace matches,except for Luxury,otherwise,everybody sent out their terrans instead. I don't even remember Jd being sent out as ace. Right now,at least we get to see entertaining matches thanks to Luxury,Jaedong,Effort,Type-b,Yarnc,Calm and even GGplay played nice in the osl. And last season the tosses were in the same situation,they haven't won anything,none of them could stand up against the terrans,or against JD and July. I feel we have the same situation. Until Jd slumps,we can still hope,that he will comeback,and we hope that Savior destroys everybody,just like he promised. I think it is not good to bury the zergs just yet,they will come back,and in greater numbers.
