I mean I give NesTea a lot of flak but at least his wins were always convincing. Jjakji barely scraped through to reach the finals and delivered a lot of mediocre/uninspired games. Except it's bullshit. His game v Killer in the Ro32? Awesome, even if he ended up losing, relentless. His game v Supernova in the same group is still one of the most amazing TvTs ever. Sure he lucked out in the Ro16 and only had to beat Gumi, and both his games v Mvp and Gumi were pretty scrappy and bad. But there's no way you can say his games v Oz weren't interesting at least, and even if he stomped Puzzle it was not because of Puzzle being bad, but jjakji being good. I disagree. Puzzle played like shit (like in every other Ro8 appearance he had) and the games vs Oz were some of the worst PvT I've ever watched. On paper Oz should've won that 3-0, but he made lots of mistakes and ended up losing. And I guarantee that if CoCa had took part in Code S Jjakji would have never made it to Playoffs.
Sure, with CoCa in it there's a high chance jjakji wouldn't have made it at all, I'm not gonna argue that, but I disagree on the Oz games. Eh.

Man I'm torn, on the one hand I want Jjakji to win so he and KangHo to get into Code S, but on the other hand I really want the insanity of a 5 way tie to ensue.

Jjakji-Leenock still delivered the best finals in terms of games. He did get good draws and lucky consequences. Then again, so did Sniper. Seed actually beat very good opponents and various races, etc. At least Jjakji is more relevant than Sniper now.
Sniper got good draws? You think MarineKing, sHy, Seed himself, then Bogus, Polt and PartinG are good draws? Leenock, the infinitely underrated Ryung and then Hyun? This is what you call a good draw?
On top of all that he was completely destroying team leagues both online and offline (GSTL) during 2012.
So no, I really don't see your point here, sorry. :/

Omg. I can't believe KangHo lost to Shine. The disbelief fuels shine. But it's Shine. Jesus. What planet am I living on? Somehow, Maru is the OSL champion. It's the planet we live on.

Because Sniper actually played very well that season. Don't disrespect Seed and Jjakji, they played brilliantly to win their respective championships and had to go trough tough opponents. Seed's run in particular was amazing, defeated Symbol trough a reverse sweep 3-2, defeated Byun the same way, 3-2 displaying incredible mental fortitude and patience and in the grand final he dismantled MC displaying superior knowledge of PvP at the time and brilliant micro. Too many people here have the nerve to downplay the efforts of the past champions, they may have only shone for 2 months but they where the best players of those two months, give them the respect they deserve. On topic, interesting game from effort and Hurricane, really crazy scenario, its a bit too bad effort didn't read the situation better, I think he could have crushed that 2 base push, though I guess Hurricane was banking on forcing lots of units and recalling out if the situation went sour. Still glad effort won. "superior knowledge of PvP", aka 4 gate. I agree 100% though, it's easy to laugh at "washed up" champions now, but a win is a win, and no matter how you get there, winning code s is god damn hard. No-one is saying that Seed/Jjakji/Sniper etc are better than Mvp. But at the time of their respective championships, they were.
It was Warp Prism + 4gate.
Not just 4gate!!

I'm confused, if there isn't a 5 way tie who advances?

Patch 1.5.3 was the best draw you could get for a Zerg player.
