All I heard was "it's good that you enjoy yourself and everything, but give me my fucking money!"

Thank you so much for linking this.
That message didn't come out the right way, not so well thought...

WOW, WHAT A SERIES. Just watched the games, and game 5 was BEAUTIFUL. That said, Zero's play games 4 and 5 infuriated me at times, and made me wish JD were in form. Nonetheless, great OSL semis. ^_^

Truly, BW have far transcended beyond being just a game and this final matchup between Protoss and Zerg fully demonstrates why. The five matches between Jangbi and Zero encapsulated the very metanarrative of the entire PvZ history: from the Anytime's "sashin" style toss in set 1 to mass-hatchery style reminiscent of GGPlay in set 2, from two-gate hardcore build of Reach/mantoss in set 3 to the exciting defensive style of the dreamer Nal_Ra on set 5, and from mass storms epitomized by Jangbi himself to finally the unlikely and ultimate victory led by zertaul of protoss over the zerg -- it seems that in Broodwar, like in physiology, phylogeny recapitulates ontogeny.
Kim Carrier's tears is fully justified in the face of such sublime profundity and drama demonstrated in this final, glorious display of Broodwar.

Haha, I watched that part while at work. Had forgot to put in the headphones and thought oh well I'll go ahead and listen anyway.
Then after Mike's message the guy streaming that goes "wtf did I listen to..." and some heads were turned here at the office 
Dude, you gotta give a warning

Not yet . If he can defeat Flash as epic as he did against his opponents these last 2 OSLs, then i'm going to be really ok with it. If Pro BW in Korea can't live forever, then the memory of its last moments should.

Why do people think that using rare words for the sake of it is cool, I will always wonder.
Pity because the pompous shell apart, I really agree. I don't think the OSL last PvZ serie could have been any better.

WTF Morhaime? *Sigh*
Why are people so surprised? Morhaime is asked by the shareholders of Blizzard to make money. I promise you that people who have invested money through their bank into Blizzard don't give a flying fuck about the quality of esports or the survival of the greatest video game ever. They want return on their investment, and if they don't get it, Morhaime is fired. That's it.
By the way if you want to understand why our world is so fucked up, just apply that reasoning to our whole economy. Making as much money as possible is rarely going hand to hand with doing the best thing for everybody. Usually, it's even the exact opposite.

Well JangBi is "Almighty" while Flash is "God".
As far as nicknaming goes

Its a tease, man :D
He didnt train SC2 almost at all before his semis so why would he before last Grand Finals of BW
He will play games of SC2, sure and he will try to do the best but i heavily doubt he will focus on something different than BW.
