[WCG] Korean Qualifiers - Round of 8 - Day 2

Flash vs Bisu
Bisu and Flash have had a good history of producing good games from the start. I remember when everyone hated Flash because he fucking cheesed the shit outta Bisu and knocked him out of the OSL. Nowadays, Flash never cheeses and is more known as a "gay fucking turtler". If you haven't seen the flowcharts in the Day 1 thread, you should do so, because that basically sums up Flash's play. "Can I survive early/mid game? Yes? Then win". Anyways, with Bisu coming off a rather shaky PvT set that he lost to Iris, the fact that he had to cheese his couple of wins shows his lack of confidence in the matchup. With that being said, he draws some decently favorable maps for him, and with Flash's lack of TvP play lately, Bisu should be doing that picture pose once again after today's games. 2-1 Bisu.

Jaedong vs Kwanro
This write up needs no explanation. Kwanro is a mediocre zerg who keeps getting lucky because his opponents either 1) Screw up (Leta) or 2) Suck (Zero). Jaedong does neither, and we'll see Jaedong advance to the next round with ease. 2-0 JvZ. One of the easiest Liquibets I've made in my life.

Bisu <Destination> Flash
Bisu <Return of the King> Flash
Bisu <Heartbreak Ridge> Flash
Bisu wins 2-1. Good games. Recommend watching Games 1 & 3. Bisu kinda just died in Game 2.

Jaedong <Destination> Kwanro
Jaedong <Return of the King> Kwanro
Jaedong rapes mediocre zerg 2-0.

KPop + SC = Win

Yes, throughout the years, we've had a fair share of KPop within the realm of SC. From Rock singing Big Bang's Last Farewell to Perfectman's 2PM ceremony, KPop has left its mark on the Starcraft scene. Here's a short snippet of Rock's incredible singing skills:



In recent years, KPop artists have come to SC venues such as the OSL finals and PL finals just to sing and cheer for our players. From the Wonder Girls to Son Dambi to SNSD, Starcraft's had its share of the best in the KPop business. While this next song wasn't necessarily sung at the PL Finals, it might as well have because it fits the theme of Starcraft soo well. Gee Gee Gee Gee Baby Baby



We've even see our fair share of progamers perform ceremonies from KPop songs and even mimic dances. We've seen Bisu's Sorry Sorry to Perfectman's I Hate You to Flower/Zeus' Tell Me rendition. It seems that the rest of OZ besides JD spends too much time practicing their KPop dances instead of practicing. But they sure are entertaining. For entertainment purposes, OZ's rendition of Tell Me with a JD bonus.



And well, it's only fitting for progamers to be fans of KPop, especially of girl groups and such. Even Sea's a fan. DoctorK and Fantasy have also spoken out on the topic, with DoctorK being an avid WGs fan. I remember him telling Best, "Take me to EVER OSL finals if you make it there". Indeed, the Wonder Girls were at EVER to perform for Best and July. And while the sound system wasn't the best, at least you could mute and enjoy the show.



Followed by EVER's poor sound system disaster, OSL organizers smartened up and well let Son Dambi lipsync her crazy chair dance performance at Incruit. That's good, cause the performance was 50x better. Anyways, here's Son Dambi at Incruit:



However, PL organizers didn't wisen up, and instead we were stuck with SNSD singing into bad mics at the Proleague Final. Whatever, bad mics happen, but the show still continues. Just hit mute and enjoy.



Over the years, we've had many KPop performances and whatnot, but not much can trump MBC's epic karaoke. From Sea's pretty awful singing to Bisu's even worse singing to our Golden Mouse winner trying to hurl out lyrics, these moments are quite priceless. So with that, I leave you with MBC's karaoke night:



Truthfully, I've missed these pregame opening ceremonies at these SL finals. Even though the Wonder Girls sucked, they were still entertaining to watch. Plus listening to the fanboys in the crowd scream is just epic. With that, I'm gonna end this mini thread. Here's hoping to some good games tonight at WCG.



Gee Gee Gee Gee Gee!
