OSL Finals Have Been Decided!

The semi-finals between Stork and Luxury were played today in Korea and now Stork has advanced to face Flash!

The second to final round of play in the current OSL was played today and wow were they some exciting games. We will let the VODs' speak for themselves but here is short review of what went on between the two top ten KeSPA players.

Game One
The first game was played on Blue Storm with Stork warping in at the 7 position while Luxury spawned at the 2. Stork opened with a fast expansion while the Zerg went with some speed lings hoping to end the game early. When this failed he quickly switched to mass hydra with some upgrades a intense battle was fought right outside Storks natural and Luxury managed to stall his plus one upgrade. Storm finished just a little to late too save the forge but not too win the game, Stork quickly headed for the Zergs main and ended the game with some good zealot micro. 1-0 for Stork.

Game Two
The second game was played on the map Fantasy, Stork at four and Luxury at 7. At first it looked like the Protoss would dominate this game with his one gate tech build hopping to a couple of expos and quickly dispatching Luxurys. Luxury managed to grab an island expo and turtle for five or so minutes upgrading quickly out of two evolution chambers and teching to Ultralisks very fast. The tide of the game turned very quickly into Luxurys favor when he had them out and fully upgraded Stork was forced to type out. The score was now 1-1.

Game Three
The next game was played on Katrina Stork went with the obvious and fast expanded to the natural behind his base while putting up a couple of cannons and some zealots to defend his base. Luxury once again grabbed a third rather quickly and started to pump hydras with speed and range he threw some zerglings in at first but quickly turned to his hydras to win the game. A scary push came to Storks front door so he threw up 5-6 more cannons to help defend it looked like he might lose this one at first but the cannons proved to be to effective. He quickly teched to storm with some zealots upgraded to plus one with leg speed. As in game one he forced Luxury to type out with some great Zealot Micro. 2-1 for Stork now.

Game Four
With the final chance for Luxury to stay in the OSL on the line it was a very tense atmosphere between the two in the final game played on Troy . Stork opened with a double gate rush strategy which was fended off with some sunkens and really well executed zergling micro. Stork retreated to his base to lick his wounds and once again the game looked to turn in the Zergs favor. Luxury quickly teched up to mutas while Stork threw up a stargate in order to get some corsairs out to scout the Zergs tech. He saw the spire morphing and immediately threw up another stargate along with some cannons at his main to protect his mineral line. The mutalisks got out as they both tried to grab a few expansions to get a better resource flow. But by this time Stork had 3 corsairs and cannons to defend his base along with a reaver in his robotics facility. More corsairs popped up and so did the reaver Stork headed straight for Luxurys main and after a few minutes of intense fighting between the two Luxury was forced to give up and typed out his GG. Stork goes on for a rematch with the terran monster Flash!
