.dragoon United States749 Posts December 06 2007 22:47 GMT #1 EVER OSL 2007 SEMIFINAL MATCH A 0130 Pacific Time / 0430 Eastern Time / 1830 Seoul Time UpMagiC vs Jaedong Southpaw vs Legend Killer Players                         UpMagiC is a scene favorite these days, a player known for an array                         of daring game openings, counter-intuitive tech choices, and sound                         transitions into orthodox play. Like BoxeR before him, Up is gifted                         with the MagiC to entertain through novelty gameplan alone, whilst                         victory is often times simply the closing remark to an already vastly                         satisfying performance.                         Having risen from a difficult round-of-16 group and boldly delivered in a                         sensational quarterfinal encounter, UpMagiC will now be thoroughly                         tested in his one weak match-up against an opponent widely said to be                         the current "ZvT Incarnate."                         Don't be fooled though, if there's one player out there whose ability to                         play is not accurately reflected by his stats, he's UpMagiC.                         Deliberately absent from a recent Proleague match, our magician                         has surely conjured up a wealth of deathdealers in anticipation of the                         opening pledge.                         In the wake of sAviOr's decline, a new hallmark of dominance in the                         prestigious ZvT match-up inevitably revealed himself to be Jaedong,                         whose efficiency and lethality in the ongoing battle against Terran is                         surpassed by no known Zerg contemporary.                         To paraphrase Marencielo: "Jaedong attacks with an abandon that is                         relentless but hardly reckless - invigorated by a confidence of having little                         or nothing to lose."                         Arriving at the height of semifinal by way of feeble Terran resistance,                         Jaedong is met by a gatekeeper that is unlike any other of his kind.                         For once he has everything to gain or lose as the tension rides high                         and the stakes higher. Can Jaedong overcome a strategic-inclined                         veteran OSLer and ascend to the zenith of professional StarCraft                         competition?                         Many seem to think so, others do not; but only time will tell that tale. Battlefields                                                             Set 1 - Persona                                                             Set 2 - Blue Storm                                                             Set 3 - Fantasy II                                                             Set 4 - Katrina                                                             Set 5 - Persona "Seize This Moment" Final Results + Show Spoiler + Jaedong Jaedong Jaedong Jaedong is your EVER OSL 2007 2nd place finisher...! G'nite all :z

Jyvblamo Canada13788 Posts December 07 2007 00:10 GMT #15 I really hope that Up.magic will win, if only for the sake of an entertaining finals (Jaedong vs P is no thnx). Voted Jaedong though; probably going to be 3-1.

Shauni 4077 Posts December 07 2007 00:14 GMT #16 I devote my heart to UpMagiC... but I sincerely have difficulties imagining him as victorious, especially on those maps. It really IS his worst matchup, if he hasn't magically improved in the past few weeks. But fuck it, imma skip school and cheer for the true magician, the neo emperor, the man with the flame who knows how to make Starcraft into ART. I'm just worried .
