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.
