Finally, after an all-zerg semifinals the MSL redeems itself. Jaedong and Flash are playing each other. JAEDONG AND FLASH ARE PLAYING EACH OTHER.

All I can think right now is... Roffles, you had better get ready for the rape of a lifetime... of your stream.

Even this is going to get remade countless times in the next few days, who do you think will take the MSL?

[image loading]

Poll: Who will win the NATE MSL?
(Vote): Flash
(Vote): Jaedong

I'm going to say JD. Simply because it's Bo5.

Look up their overall stats against each other. Then look up how they did in Bo5's against each other. Notice something?

Flash is just playing at another level right now though. If Starcraft 1 was to survive longer, and Flash continued to have no distractions (eg. girl problems, family problems etc), then he could the greatest player of all time, no contest.

I want Flash to win one, but not the other. And I dislike Jaedong about 100 times more than I dislike Flash, so I'm hoping for Movie>Flash, and Flash>Jaedong

Flash is either going to lose both or win both - the OSL final will be important for Flash as it will either deplete or augment his momentum into the MSL final.

flash easy.

in their first bo5, jd was a favorite as a better player
in their second, the leak in flash's game was painfully obvious (14cc 14cc 14cc 14cc...)

this time, flash is playing solid as hell and I don't see how jd has a chance

This, I laughed at anyone who voted Best > Flash back in the quarterfinals because he was 0-3 vs best

Game 1: some 2 base carrier cheese
Game 2: flash doing some retarded build
Game 3: only convincing win but storms are imba

dont just look at stats people.

Flash's TvZ 2010 is not Flash's TvZ 2008. (i made this table today)

Finally, after an all-zerg semifinals the MSL redeems itself.

I noticed two BO5s from over 18 months ago, and a sample size that was not statistically significant

Flash is going to win 3:2 IMO.

His TvZ is on a whole new level.. If anyone can take him it has to be Jaedong.

LETS SEE SOME MASS TANKS! ROFL.

Unstoppable force vs immovable object, guess we'll find out in a week. But don't know flash TvZ at the moment is just so solid, all we can hope for is JD with some kind of build or mindgames to throw him off. (to keep series not ending in 3-0 or 3-0 for flash -.-)

Im sad that flash doesnt play protoss, cause while all the hype has been on Flash´s insane TvT-stream, Jaedong has snuck up from behind and grabbed an amazing 14 straight game in ZvP...
Oh well. I guess flash will win both leagues..

I dunno. Obviously Flash's tvz is perhaps the most solid and dominating ever played, but looking at his recent games I sense that often that his opponents gained an advantage or at least equality and then screwed up the game somehow. Flash vs Kwanro in set 4, Kwanro had reached a decent position and opted for guardians. Flash vs Calm set 3, Calm had a really good position midgame and threw it away by not attacking. Jaedong is a master at abusing weaknesses so I think he'll take it. Flash's recent tvz is just not as convincing atm as it was when he first started his streak.
Routing for Flash, but I think Jaedong will win.

Head says Flash
Heart says Jaedong

I just have a feeling JD will beat Flash this time. JD only has MSL and proleague on his plate. Flash has a TvP on OSL, TvZ on MSL, and PL.

JD takes it 3-2

edit: didn't notice other posters saying the 'brain says flash, heart says JD' line -_-

Wins are still wins, and Best's wins over Flash were VERY convincing wins too.


To compare Bo1 wins and translate that to a Bo5 is pretty stupid as they are NOTHING alike. The whole "wins are still wins" doesn't actually mean anywhere near as much as you imply, especially given the different circumstances of said wins.

Flash trashed Jaedong last time they met. Nothing that's happened since then tells me that Flash is any weaker or that Jaedong got strong enough to handle him. I think Flash will win 3-1.

I would say I don't really care, all I know is the two have the potential to play a GREAT series and that's all I want. I don't want to see some 14cc vs. 9pool or anything like that, just some nice LONG games.

10k viewers? Does the livestream service even let you have that many?
