Though yeah I think Jaedong is going to... crush Kal. Oh well ZvP is always my favourite matchup to watch (and worst to play  ) | ||

But if he does make it against JD no one will ever say something like that Kal's chances vs Flash are pretty similar to Jaedong's, honestly. I mean, Flash is better at TvZ than TvP, but Jaedong's ZvT is probably stronger than Kal's PvT, in general, so pretty even. Add the fact that maps are pretty good for TvZ and Kal's got the unorthodox goods that end up beating Flash in TvP and I honestly might say that Kal is a bigger challenge. The only reason it isn't though is because it's a Bo5 and, well, Jaedong in Bo5 IS Jaedong in a Bo5, noone else like him. | ||

Considering what is on the line, how little pratice Flash will get working on the OSL, and how much better JD is in bo5s over bo3s, to not think that this final wouldn't be significantly larger than the OSL quarters meeting is foolish. On top of that, when Flash wins the OSL, it will add another wrinkle to the MSL since he will be playing to be the first player to win both SLs within a week of eachother. I can appreciate the hype trying to build up this match, but honestly I don't see Kal as having a chance. Considering Jaedongs ZvP looks as strong as Flash's TvT or TvZ, and how great he is in bo5s, it shouldn't be close. Funny side note, as you mentioned JDs 11 ZvP winning streak started with Kal. Also, his last ZvP win was against Kal with a hydra-break beat down over him a few days ago in PL. That psychological blow can't help Kal. Losing 5 straight games to someone, with no sign of closing the gap, is not indicative of a close MU. /flame suit on | ||

I really think that our overall desire for a Jaedong Flash final is getting in the way of some of our thinking about this. People are saying Match Point will be Kal's only win, but Ultimatum is not to be overlooked. Now I certainly think that Jaedong is the favorite to win here. I am careful with my language in the OP to not make conclusions about who will win which game, just how they might go. I tried to take things from a very balanced standpoint. Because so many people think that this will be a total roll, a neutral standpoint seems very Kal biased. I don't deny that I am hoping Kal plays very well and takes it to the 5th game, but I don't think of this as a Kal hype article as much as a hype article for the match. | ||

this isnt as big as Bisu vs jaedong but imo this should be as good as if not better PvZ has always been Kal's marquee matchup | ||
