sOs outplayed Jaedong, showing absolute brilliance in all three matchups through the tournament. I was rooting for Jaedong to take it, but you can't take anything away from sOs, well deserved champion. (Not saying Jaedong don't deserve it, but sOs was the better player) i respect your opinion, but i disagree. sometimes the better player or team loses. luck is a factor as is conditions, confidence, and mind games, psyche outs. Implying that JD was the better player ? i doubt that, right now sOs is a better player than JD, maybe not in micro, maybe not in macro but overall yes he is... JD can be the better player, but not right now This is really interesting. You're saying Jaedong have better micro and macro but sOs is "overall" better player. Mind game > Micro/Micro haha Interesting that you think that Micro, Macro and Mind games its what SC2 is all about, so execution, intelligence and "6th sense" are all overrated ?
don't forget creative build orders designed for races or specific players. game sense and intuition are important. SOS did not show the world his "Skill" or intuition, creative play, genius. It was more or less go all out, all -in and and psyche out JD from Game one or perish. the biggest thing SoS had was balls, which is respected. but he had nothing after that IMO. his harass was really good, the zealot harass was really exploited JD's weaknesses in protecting drones and hatcheries.

To settle some discussions about who is the better player, SoS or Jeadong, I have created a little poll:
Poll: Who would you favor in a bo31?SoS (18) 56% Jaedong (14) 44% 32 total votes Your vote: Who would you favor in a bo31? (Vote): SoS
(Vote): Jaedong

Thanks, I appreciate you for actually reading my posts. Have I balance whined once? Nope. Have I spoken ill of sOs as a player or person once? Nope.

Both had some huge TL writer let hype trains behind them. MvP also became a sort of Saint to all the terran players on this forum.

To be fair MVP was massive before the wrists, just because of his rivalry with MKP and his Bonjwa like dominance.

Because it always is. Look at any sport star.
Messi. C.Ronaldo. Djokovic. Federer. Nadal. Malkin. Crosby. Shaquille O'Neal. Michael Jordan. Tiger Woods. Anyone from baseball or american football (sorry, don't know anything about those). TBLS in BW. Madlife and Faker in LoL. Literally ANY sports star.
You know what they have in common?
They are fucking BETTER in what they do, than everyone else. That's why they are superstars. That's why they have legions of (sometimes almost) fanatic fans.
Not because of what they look like, not because of how they behave. The only 'sport' (which is actually a theater) that doesn't work that way is wrestling. And I hope nobody wants SC2 to become like wrestling...

it's not that Sos won, he did it by using high risk strategies and realy moreo rock paper scissors kind of action that kind of turned me off. His biggest strength which i respected was his ability to harass with his zealots to put pressure on the defense of the Zerg base. JD did no defend or scout well, due to unknown reasons, partly JD is ultra agressive and does not place defense as a priority. SO it was a bad match up styles of JD also. So all in all , I think JD needs to look hard in the mirror and clearly learn there is a lot of improvements he needs to do to get better against the compeition. It wasn't rock paper scissors lmao. They guy knew what he was doing and kept outplaying Jaedong. sHy did very well playing one step ahead. Like I said prior, Jaedong wanted to climb K2. He got to the summit by beating Dear, but that was only half the battle. He never made his way back down because he got caught in a storm. I disagree, i didn't see the game that way. Sos strats' could have backfired easily , so luck was involved for sure. and Sos would have lost that mental advantage if JD stopped it cold
He had the right set-ups and one could argue there's always some luck risk involved. What say you of Jaedong going 3 hatch first before pool when sHy's been knock, knock, knocking on his door in the first few games? Come on now. They have a good idea of what they're doing and always stay on top of the other guys army. Jaedong has made strides. He has been changing his play, which is a good thing. The future is bright for him.

Myungsik can't be Phoenix because he's only shown up in one qualifier. And I'm not including upgrades for now. Just buildings and units. Sora? Sora did sick Phoenix play! Some spots I'll leave empty until some Toss really takes a spot. Good so far, now we need a Terran and Zerg pantheon. The terran is a bit obvious tho. Drone: ? Zergling: Life Overlord: ? Roach: Symbol or HyuN Hydra: ? Mutalisk: Jaedong or DRG Baneling: Leenock Infestor: Stephano or someone else Corruptor: Soulkey? Swarm Host: Stephano? Ultralisk: ? Brood Lord: ? Viper: ?
Symbol = Nydus
Stephano = Roach (or maybe HyuN.. but Stephano made the units as famous as they are)
Ultralisk = LosirA maybe?
Infestor = Freaky!
Drone = Ret
Hydra = Hydra :D
