Both finalists advanced to the title clash by winning over young and very strong opponents:
Park 'July' Sung Joon 3-1 Son Chan 'BackHo' Woong
Jae Wook 'BeSt' Doh 3-2 Park 'Luxury' Chan Soo
In the final it was down to the oldschool legend SumoZerg and the rising star whose nickname speaks for itself - BeSt.
July today was better than his rival and won the OSL finals. It is also very prestigious to win the Golden Mouse (the award that is granted for three OSL titles won). JulyZerg is the second player in the history of Korean StarCraft after Lee 'NaDa' Yoon Yeol to win it.
Short game summary:
July five pooled his opponent in the first game, while BeSt managed to defend it and do a proxy gate, which July scouted and killed.
In the second game, on the very weird map named Troy, BeSt couldn't control his one gate tech against the nine pool lings of Sumo.
Finishing the third game as aggressive as the first two, JulyZerg took home his third OnGameNet StarLeague title and the Golden Mouse award that is granted for three OSL titles.

Except the third game was pretty long, but I guess you didnt see the matches.
"-You showed very fear some all-in strategies
▲My belief in best of 5 series is not skill but your mind. That is why I 5-pooled in my first game. I have lost 0:3 in my 2 previous finals through all-in strategies by the opponents. Because of those attacks I remember I was unable to focus. That is why I used it against my opponents this time"
"-During your stay in SK Telecom your record against best was 5:5
▲During that time the 5:5 record would be the result of normal games. If Best played if it were normal games today, I probably would not have won easily. However, today was the Finals where mind-control was very important, which is the reason why I believe I won."
BeSt was not ready to handle such a final, but next time he will be ready! Do Jae Wook fighting!
Anyway thanks a lot!
