Yes, Koreans do calculate their ages differently, but the last time I called a progamer by their Korean age, I had my asshole torn to pieces for it

So, I've started using their Western ages

In Korea, Boxer is really 26 or 27 (I don't know if September is considered late enough to add another year to his age)

Generally, you're 1 year old when you're born and you add a year at the first day of each new year. If you were born late into the year, you add 2 years to your age.

The one holding the 6.000.000 is Oov, Anytime has the 20.000.000 one.

And congratz to Anytime, even though I wanted the Emperor to get his 3rd. He will win it next time for sure!

Yeah realized that a little late. But still !

Wow, in the semis, the story was Anytime's fresh tactics. What amazed me most about Anytime's play was his composure. He gets up to a nice 2-0 lead, with forte as the fourth map. Get's absolutely CRUSHED for 2 games, then settles down, and plays the PvT of his life on game 5. He doesn't collapse or choke or anything, he just sits down and goes straight up macro, totally outclassing boxer in game 5.

He's a tough competitor. He's pretty much a protoss july. Man, wouldn't an anytime/july final next starleague be awesome?!

I would also like to add that Boxer's strat on Forte was orgasmic, and that he should have won the whole fucking tourney just for that.

I think Anytime is at the same level as Pusan, and he's also a more a Reach type of toss than a Nal_Raish toss if you know what I mean. His macro midgame can destroy any terran with maybe the only exception oov/nada. I hope to see Anytime and Pusan raping up this OSL, and at least advance to the quarters. The Anytime vs oov is definatly going to be one of the highlight games not only considering their macro abilities but also the fact that Anytime picked Oov. Also Nal_Rock is kinda underestimated, but i think he has some flaws PvT, though he almost covers it with his nice PvZ.

Felt like quoting myself

It's good to see people finally appreciates Anytime. I saw one game of him from SKY Proleague about 6 months ago where he crushed his opponent badly with amazing macro. I think his opponent was a big name too. So when he entered Dual in a deadly group with him, Control, Foru and Chojja, I instantly bet him and Chojja, and they both proceeded with Anytime winning Foru first then Control. He also went 1-1 vs July in some SKY proleague matches as well at that time( I have no idea why they played twice) . The rest of his dual league got somwhat easy for him though getting in the same group as Yooi and Doggi. Of course he won those, but Rock gave him some hard competition for the Dual league title winning 2 of the 5 games.

Until then I'd only won points on him so I voted for him vs all his group opponents including oov. The first time I lost points on him was that group game against oov, and for that I did bet on oov for the semis which I shouldnt have done. In the finals he did exactly what I thought he would do - using the macroskills well. Against oov he didnt want that because oov is so tremendous in games like that.

Anytime does not only possess Reachish macro, but he's also able to adapt well to his opponents which he proved in this OSL preparing very well for each of his matches. He lacks Reachs storm skills though, and I believe very well he's capable of much more if he manages to involve templars more in his game.

Even though I woulda liked Boxer getting his 3rd, Im really happy for Anytime because I've followed him closely even after his defeat of Assem on Incubus about a year ago. Also it's been one and a half year since Toss had a title. And Anytime did a July in his first OSL which probably means we'll see alot more of him. I remember people calling July a fluke, but he's been in two quarter finals, and two finals winning one in his apperances in OSL after his first win. I have a feeling Anytime is able to stay in the top now just like July, though I doubt he's able to do as good as July in terms of accomplishments, because that would be a really amazing feat. Time will tell. He's definatly not a fluke though

Just finished watching gm 2. Wow... AnyTime out dropshipped the dropship emperor himself. Turned the table, and gave Boxer a taste of the mass dropship medicine that normally he force-feeds his opponents.

Yeah, the game on 815 was very inspiring, and made 815 look imba in favour of the P. If Oov didn't double expand in the semi's, I'm sure we would have seen Oov get owned by those tactics anyway.

anytime won the 815 game with good scouting and dropping boxer's undefended expansions many times.

and for the last game, i was wondering why boxer didn't have vulture mines researched so late in the game. his first push was absolutely demolished by the lack of mines, and that is probably why he lost so badly

Couldn't agree more. Anytime always checks his nat and min around his based and fucked oovs proxy fact in the semis, but boxer put it across the whole damn map, and got 5or6 goons for free. Sweetness.

But I will say, anytime was soooooooooooooooo close to finding the fact. Be it a little later than he would've really needed, but that was the most depressing scouting screw over I've ever seen. He was like 2 pixels too far away.

The last game though, Boxer played like the only strat in the universe is DT to expo. He lost a bunch of time and mins with the cute double CC in base for 2 scan build. Seeing as he had no scouting reasoning to think dt I don't see why he played like that. He was already behind by the time he noticed. Fine, only a little bit, but he never recovered.
