Flash v.s. Shine OSL final would be almost worse than a ZvZ final. Almost. BTW, my jaw dropped when Flash 8 rax bunker rushed Jaedong. WHO THE HELL DOES A CHEESE AGAINST YOUR STRONGEST RIVAL IN FRONT OF THE BIGGEST AUDIENCE ON CHRISTMAS? Also, screw those guys who claim Flash's strategy isn't cheese. There is no dictionary definition for cheese. There is no wikipedia entry on starcraft "cheese". It is CHEESE when the player pulls off a cheesy move to end the game in an anti-climatic fashion. | ||

Cause you know, JD has looked completely unbeatable in standard ZvT lately and crushed Flash in standard play last week ... oh wait it's the other way around. Thanks for the translations! this was literally one post above you, it made me laugh looking forward to a (hopefully) flash vs shine final, they're both really well mannered, and pretty entertaining to watch | ||

If that's your definition of cheese, whatever, but it was an awesome strategy. Is this like the first TvZ you have ever watched? Seriously, we're calling a proxy rax into bunker rush an "awesome strategy" now? | ||

It is CHEESE when the player pulls off a cheesy move to end the game in an anti-climatic fashion. Boxer says hi. Also, playing predictably ultimately leads to defeat. By varying one's playstyle, one can ensure they can keep opponents off-balance. Remember Flash is also playing for an OSL trophy along with prize money. Why the hell would he potentially give that all up on the basis of pleasing people who rave, "IHATECHEESEITHASTODIE!" He's playing for something too, not just trying to entertain the fans. | ||

Maybe how Flash analyzed the map and found out the perfect barracks placement and timing of it (7 rax not 8 rax, BIG TIMING DIFFERENCE) to kill the first overlord. Jaedong didn't analyze the map and never found out about this and walked right into Flashs trap. Maybe you should watch more TvZ? No Jaedong crying fanboys answered this yet, no arguments left huh? It's funny how D- players think they know anything about Starcraft too (this thread is flooded by them, it's obvious) | ||

No, but he should give a shit about the hundreds of thousands if not millions of Korean fans who tuned in on Christmas just for Flash v.s. Jaedong. Flash might as well give a shit about Jaedong practicing his ass off for a good game against him as well as a sign of respect. Flash was one game up over Jaedong. He was by no means in a desperate situation. Surely for the sake of showmanship, show the audience a better game! On December 26 2009 04:21 Zoler wrote: What?

Anyways, congratz to Flash. He might just win an OSL by winning nothing but TvZ games. | ||

If you're playing for (this isn't the actual prize pool but a comparison), $60,000 in a tournament and you're going up against your opponent, are you going to win by all means possible or are you going to sit there wondering, "Hmmm...would this strategy please the fans...or would this one?" All the moaning about Flash not pleasing the fans sounds more like whining to me. Plus, there are Flash fans who would be happy with Flash's win and further advancement into the OSL. Lol, all this hate brings back memories of Fantasy cheesing JD in the Proleague finals. Anyways, congratz to Flash. He might just win an OSL by winning nothing but TvZ games. Haha, I'm going to use the search function to see the response to Boxer v. Yellow (when Boxer bunker rushed 3 times). Imagine the hate that would have brought. | ||

If you're going to blame someone for the game ending quickly, blame Jaedong. He's the one who screwed up. Flash just came in with a good strategy and took advantage of his opponent's mistakes. | ||

How shitty would that make JD and Flash fans feel? I love it when my player beats another who's playing 100% to win. If my guy won, but I knew the other dude wasn't playing seriously, that cheapens my guy's win. The more JD fans are disrespecting Flash here, the more they're actually spitting on JD. | ||
