The two finals where Flash had to play the terran-versus-protoss match-up had him at a statistical disadvantage, although the numbers weren't as extreme as some of the statistical disadvantage FanTaSy had to face.

Flash played the majority of his finals versus the zerg race, which has been historically speaking, the easier match-up for the terran players, while FanTaSy had to face protoss players for all but one of five finals during his professional career. Map pools play certainly play a part, but which match-up is played in the finals plays a large role as well, since finding overwhelmingly difficult map pools used in major individual league finals, for the terran race in the terran-versus-zerg match-up in particular, is quite harder than finding difficult map pools for the terran race in the terran-versus-protoss match-up.
