Question: What happens when an unstoppable force meets and immovable object?

Better question: What if you're both?

Current World Champions SK Telecom T1 K took on KT Rolster Bullets in the OGN Winter semi-finals last night, defeating them 3-0. While games one and two went easily in favor of SKT, game three was much closer. SKT rushed for the Nexus after taking out three Bullets team members, but failed to close the game and suffered some losses. With a numbers advantage, the Bullets responded in kind and tried to rush down mid lane. Members of SKT respawned, however, successfully defended, and marched to victory.

This means SKT has a shot at what no other team before them could accomplish: Back-to-back OGN championships. CJ Entus Blaze tried after taking 1st in OGN Champions Spring 2012, but failed to move past the semi-finals in OGN Champions Summer 2012. CJ Entus Frost has come closer, making the finals three times in a row. They took 2nd in OGN Champions Spring 2012, 1st in OGN Champions Summer 2012, and again 2nd in OGN Champions Winter 2012/2013.

Everyone knows how powerful SK Telecom T1 K is, but from the momentum they are carrying into this final, it seems they haven't even peaked yet. Here are some highlights from the semi-final match, posted via reddit.
