'09 EVER OSL Round of 16 - Preview

[ms9ball]

I predict movie will usurp Jaedong, move out of his group, and we will remember this OSL as the one where Movie was realized as the next protoss heir

[anmndr]

STORK STORK STORK

STORK BITCH!!!!

(too sexy to lose)

[mostafashade]

PUSAN!!!

[smexsa]

i <3 this vide im waiting for more videos like this keep them coming 5/5 stars as alweys

[ChristophyBrun]

This is EffOrt's OSL! Calm and EffOrt will move out of their groups. Two of the strongest zergs in the game.

Btw, neat animations Nuke.

Effort vs Flash OSL finals, you heard it here first.

[cameronielsen]

Nuke, I've missed your commentaries. Look forward to some when OSL time comes! Keep it up man, I really appreciate your friendly attitude - you're the most likeable caster, hands down.

[ejacu1ator]

A: Jaedong Movie

B: Hwasin Zero

C: Effort Calm

D: Flash, and I'm not sure. Stork is better than the two zergs, but I sense he will not be making it through.

[manudead454]

flash will go undefeated cause he is a beast and is unstoppable in tvz and stork idk but i vote stork will move out with him

[NukeTheStars]

I don't read lists of names, people.

[Sc2ggrocks]

A: Jaedong's race(yes there is such thing) and a tiebreaker between Go.Go and Movie

B: ZerO and a tie breaker between Yellow[Arnc] and Hwasin

C: Fantasy and a toss up between effort and calm, both really good players rite now.

D: Flash and Stork... Maybe and matbe kwanro... nehhe, i dont think so. Flash is just so good with that goliath build vs toss and a great vs zerg game. Stork did get that silver medal at the WCG2009 so he has lots of momentum in this OSL

[MrAndersonmm]

A- Jaedong and Movie advance

B- Hwasin and Yellow (odd choice, I know)

C- Calm and Fantasy

D- Kwanro will advance, toss-up between Flash and Stork, but my money is on Flash.

[hyhhy]

Thanks for the video. Sums things up nicely as always.

[p111SC]

Can you post a download link to the song used in this vid?

[ScissorsSC]

Fantasy is gonna get rocked ROFL. Poor stork too, he has a tough group. I just hope the least amount of zergs possible make it into the Ro8 lol

Sry to the zerg players <3

[wswordsmen]

Flash isn't one of the best Terran right now. He is the best Terran right now. He is the best TvT and TvZ, possibly TvP as well, but other than his loss to Best there hasn't been a real test, making it hard to tell. With all the Zergs having good vZ is better than good vP anyway.

[KRotteSc]

Stork will be kicking ass this osl. Look out for the silver mouse, or even for another Dinotoss-title!!!

[upanishaderna]

Sadly, I have a feeling that Jaedong will crash and burn this OSL.

BUT I always fear that will happen, so I guess The Force of Nature could just as easily rise and take his fourth OSL! :D

Unless Flash properly fucks everybody up. He's crazy.

[kakao777]

Wow exciting. So many great s player names and so many favorites of the ones who would be considred underdogs in theese groups... hope to see pure and movie among others in the r08! Best R0 16 film snack?! whats ur weapon of choise, discuss!

[jackal327]

nice video nuke, you're awesome. Some predictions:

Group A: Movie is a real deal and will prove it in this group!!!!

Group B: Zero, the JD of his team, will crush everyone

Group C: Effort (the hawk) will show why he is such an amazing player

Group D: Flash is the ultimate weapon, stork is the only one who can break and expose all his flaws (and make him cry by defeting him in an epic match)

[Lappysan]

effort will beat flash in set5 of the final to bring the honor back to his people in space.

[Telekenesis123]

Very elaborate video Nuke, awesome job.

[FireGuyX]

Jaedong and Movie should advance from group A

Group B is anyone's guess

Group C is also unpredictable, but I think Shine will be eliminated, it will either be Calm, Fantasy, or Effort advancing.

Group D Flash should advanced, who gets the second spot is anyone's guess.

[FireGuyX]

Flash vs anyone in the finals is my prediction.

[Lassie747]

Jaedong better watch out for the ROFLCOPTER!

[Lassie747]

Can't wait for Pure vs Hwasin. This match decides who joins zero in advancing out of this group - plus two of my favourite players. Yarnc gonna get killed in group B.

[Lassie747]

Final = Storrk vs Flash. No doubt in my mind.

In a bo5 I'd have to say Flash takes it, Stork sadly another silver. Flash looks unbeatable in macro games atm. UNBEATABLE!!!

[thundasc]

STASH POWER!!! stork and flash need to make it out of their group if they can't take kwanro and TYPE-B(really...?) then i just don't understand this game anymore

macro-play beats rushes...i hope

[vaarsuviusprime]

I predict Someone gets hurt/sick and Firebathero wins a wildcard(somehow) and he wins the tournament. It's the simplest, most logical possibility

[iamjacksrevenje]

calm vs stork final!

[Arrowspace11]

I predict a Jaedong/Stork final, and the dinotoss is going to be out for blood after losing the WCG to him. Song Byung Goo FTW!

[gotohellpunk]

GROUP B is the group of death..shit that is a tough group

[lastkarrde]

Not enough psi, build more Bisu

[Casual864]

Fighting Fantasy & Flash!

[reneg86]

Fantasy Flash and Hwasin will destroy everyone!

[Ougagagoubou]

Group D is definately most interesting group. None of those games seems easily predictable to me.

Group C would be group of death though, all but Pure seem to be current top notch players, more so than in D.

Nice hype \o

[nsw2200]

Thanks very much.

[Kaneda8181]

I'm hyped already now! I'm cheering for fantasy and yellow, hope they crush everyone!

[Varbind]

Great vid, thanks Nuke!

[kryos12]

Really hard to call the gold here.

I would LOVE to see a protoss taking it all ( *cough* Stork *cough* ), but I think this is EffOrt's OSL, unless Flash has something to say about it. Fantasy and Calm are going nowhere imo. Jaedong.... needs to focus on PL as Hwaseung is going n00b mode.

~ Kim Jung Woo fighting!!

[rockslavesoft]

Ohhhh no Return of the King =( (just kidding)

This OSL is gonna be great. So many interesting players! (hope Flash doesn't make it)

And good as usual, Nuke. Love the music on this video!

[Nyngarra]

Nuke where is your faith in fantasy?

Fantasy is going to DESTROY the zerg in his group.

[adamg0d]

who's ready for a kwanrollllllll?

[wilvonhelm]

I forgot: Well done, Nuke! Go on!

[wilvonhelm]

8 Zerg, 4 Terran, 4 Protoss. Watch out you not zerg! I'm impressed by Flash. But he need a new end-game-strategy against zerg, not protoss, dumbass. Anyways, FLASH FOR THE WIN!!!

[Krazywoot]

Nuke how did you hear about flash's new strategy? you seen to be good at keeping in touch with all of the SC media and info there is out there.

[Magistic]

Thanks.

[BigYellowKY]

Is it just me, or does Flash seem to come up with more new Terran strategies than all others combined?

[neonstrike]

just u methinks

[hmnai]

Shine down!!!!

[scraggly2]

what happened to bisu

[NukeTheStars]

/watch?v=vOQfDtTYav0

[scraggly2]

nvm i've seen that, I though he had some sort of by into the ro/16

[nuitaridark]

got ownt by shine

[bryanep]

love these vids man

[cheeriosNchex]

Shhiiiiii...

I'm afraid for Fantasy. I hope he makes it through...

Wait, WAIT!  I know he will! :D

I think Jaedong is definitely underestimating go.go, but who knows, we'll see. Also, Group D is just a power house. Hopefully Kwanro gets through.

[darkadonis15]

Group A: Jaedong and Movie

Group B: Zero and Hwasin

Group C: Calm and Effort

Group D: Stork and Flash

[TRYCLOPS1]

Agree... except for group C, Effort for sure, but it's close between Calm, Fantasy and Shine is playing really well too! So I don't know!!!!!! crap! I just hope Stork doesn't have to fight Flash to start up!

[Winterschlaf08]

I don't think Fantasy is going to have a hard time at all. His big advantage is that all his opponents are Zerg so he just has to train for one kind of matchup. And I predict that his vultures will rip out the evil Zerg hearts... gogo Fantasy you can do it!

[conradskill]

group a:

jaedong, movie

group b:

yellow, zero

group c:

effort, fantasy

group d:

flash, stork

[FanaticTemplar]

If Fantasy doesn't get to the Semifinals for the fourth time, I will be saddened...

[bigalharris]

thank you so much for this

NUKE you rule!!

[HumanStrategy]

A: JaeDong - Movie

B: Zero - Hwasin

C: Effort - Shine

D: Flash - Stork

[JeremyJT]

Im so excited for this ro16!! Probably not as STORKED as you though nuke, OH!

[TomPhoenixSC]

Waw, none of these groups really have clear favourites. You can imagine any one of them to be able to advance.

This OSL will be VERY interesting to see.

[megadethqc]

None of these groups have clear favourites?

I agree for group B,C and D, but for group A, Jaedong is the clear favorite.

[TomPhoenixSC]

Honestly, I do not know. If it were any other circumstances, I would have wholeheartedly agreed with you. However, Jaedong has not been looking very good lately in the Korean proscene itself, so I am uncertain.

Do not get me wrong, he certainly has the greatest chance of ending up being at the top of his group. However, since there is a shadow of a doubt on his recent performance, I hesitate to call him a "clear favourite".

[megadethqc]

Pre WCG I would agree with you, but seeing how he RAPED Bisu and ownd Stork, I'd say hes not slumping at all.

[TomPhoenixSC]

The thing is, I cannot really say WCG is proof of anything, since it is not a serious event for the Korean players like the StarLeagues are.

[Lassie747]

WCG is a very serious event for the progamers. It is a medal declaring them best in the world. Starleague wins are more important but the players definitely take the WCGs seriously.

[vegetaleonheart]

"Go.Go will do anything to win." Proxy STARPORTS, anyone? Nukes for the hell of it? Check.

Yeah, I definitely look forward to Jaedong vs. Go.Go, if only for how Go.Go throws Jaedong for a loop. I only hope that Jaedong at least learned from Bisu's....mistake last OSL.

[ColixColix]

Flash is going to win this OSL!

[MoonyD911]

WTF?!! Where's BISU?! :'(

Cant believe he's out already. This is bullshit.

[StellaTerraClemens]

Yeah, epic game with Shine. Go find it, it was really fun to watch.

[lazylink]

lol youre a flash fanboy

[NukeTheStars]

Nope. I'm a Stork fanboy.

[Damonnoxnyte]

Stork will move out of Group D. Stork will take on ALL challengers. Why? Because he's freakin stork. Stork demands this OSL win.

[tuoljg]

wait nuke didnt gogo say something like "i will easy win jaedong with bm" or something like that was the translation i heard after a game , i think that is the reason why jaedong picked gogo.

[NukeTheStars]

Well I'm sure he says that about everyone. Jaedong could use that as an excuse to pick go.go, but we all know the real reason he did.

[peterthezhou]

no bisu?

[AndyWXP]

Bisu got knocked out already =[

[peterthezhou]

Shit that sux

[DravaDrag]

Fantasy will win it all. the end.

[sheandicallitus]

I will suck for Group D.

[neobowman]

Maybe he wants to beat all of the Hite guys he didn't beat last season.

[NotThat3]

Woohoo! Gief epic matches.
