Going by statistics, maps look balanced except Gladiator is Toss favored. I didn't realize how monstrous fantasy has been since last OSL, wow. I think if Jangbi can win on Ground Zero he can win 3-2, or lose 3-2. If Jangbi loses game 1, Fantasy will probably sweep I think.

Both players are undefeated on Neo Ground Zero so far. It's also the first and last map of the finals. HYPE HYPE HYPE

then it seems only fitting that they split the two maps. if it does get to a 5th set xD
Never Surrender. Never GG. Always Fighting. BW4LYF. Woo Jung Ho Never Forget.
Meh I don't even know if I want to watch the games or even know the result. So I can trick myself with the message "Well I haven't seen the last BW OSL finals."

that being said, i think terran is the lesser of 2 evils... GO FANTASY! not calling him the terrorist because he is the unlikely hero here
why do people keep saying this? I'm quite sure there are just as many fantasy fans out there, they're just not in the vocal majority.
anyway, like it or not, 3-0 fantasy. there is no other way.
edit: can someone post the translation from the official finals trailer? it's interesting to see what the players and the coaches have to say.
I am Korean :-) Maybe I can help since it is not that long. Can I add subtitle to other person's video? Or do you just want me to write down the translation as a text?

Just as a text for everyone's convenience? I think it's harder to time subtitles properly.

My English is not very fluent, so the translation can be a little bit incorrect but hope it is better than nothing.
2:28 JangBi: 지난 시즌 우승자의 승리는 당연한 결과라고 생각하고 있고... I think it is natural that the winner of the last tournament will win again...
2:33 Fantasy: 2인자라는 수식어가 많이 붙어있는데, 우승해서 수식어가 떨어졌으면 좋겠고... I am usually described as the second best person, so I hope it will be changed by me winning this tournament...
2:38 JangBi: 팬들의 함성을 다시 한번 느끼고 싶어요! I want to hear the cheer of the crowd once again!
2:40 Fantasy: 다른 것들을 다 제쳐두고 스타리그에만 집중하고 있는 상태고. 자신이 있기 때문에... I am concentrating only on StarLeague right now. I have confidence...
2:45 JangBi: 정명훈 선수는 이겨봤기 때문에 I have already beated Fantasy once
(context: I think this is an excerpt from his previous comment that he want Flash better than Fantasy as his competitor for the finals, because he have already defeated Fantasy once)
2:48 Fantasy: 저번 결승전엔 3:2로 저를 힘들게 꺾고 우승해서 제가 무서워서 그런 말을 했던 것 같아요. I think JangBi said so, because it was so difficult for him to beat me last time (by 3:2 score).
2:55 JangBi: 역대 프로토스 우승자들을 위해서 마지막 프로토스 우승자가 되겠습니다. In behalf of all Protoss winners of OSL, I will win the last OSL.
2:58 Fantasy: 스타리그는 테란 선배님인 요환이형이 시작했다고 할 수 있는데, 스타리그 마무리는 T1 테란인 저 정명훈이 할 수 있도록... OSL is effectively started by T1 Terran BoxeR, so I will end it as a T1 Terran.
3:06 T1 manager: 정명훈 선수에게 거는 기대는 매우 큽니다. 마지막 스타리그는 정명훈이 우승할 겁니다. I have a really high expectation on Fantasy. He will win the last OSL.
3:13 JangBi: 임요환 선수랑 이제동 선수 이렇게 나오더라구요. 연속 우승. 근데, 프로토스만 딱 없더라구요. BoxeR and Jaedong have won consecutive OSLs. But only Protoss haven't done it yet.
3:18: Hyuk: 이왕 팀킬을 하고 올라갔는데, (I forgot the name of next guy :O) 적어도 우승은 해줘야 하지 않을까 싶고 As Fantasy team-killed to go up to finals, he should win the tournament at least
3:24 Bisu: 요즘에 최근 기세나 스타리그 성적이나 승률 또한 역대 최고라고 생각하고 있어가지고... I think Fantasy is in the best rhythm, and his OSL stats and win rate is also the best over all time...
3:30 Stork: 재미있는 승부가 나올 것 같아요. 결과는 뭐 영무가 이기겠죠 I think it should be an interesting match. The result should be JangBi's victory, of course.
