I like most of you am praying for a jaedong win but alot of you are doubting kal WAY too much.

Go watch the jaedong vs kal series before. Kal had the series easily won on loki2 and suicided his army away and let jaedong ninja expo back into the game. The guy is a fucking BEAST in PvZ matchplay .....

IMO if kal loses it isn't nearly as big of an upset as you guys think.

Hmm, I'm kind of torn. I like Kal a lot and I think it would be cool if he could show that Jaedong's vP is mortal, but at the same time I really want a Flash vs JD finals.

I think I'll just hope that Jaedong advances 3-2 with Kal making a very impressive showing out of it. If I had to bet on one score though, it'd be Jaedong 3-0...

Excellent write up. I am extremely excited or this series and think Kal will be putting up quite a fight. In any sports, when a team is looking forward to the following match, they always seem to underperform in the current one.

For example, when a college football team has their big rivalry match in 2 weeks, but this week is against a lesser team they should beat, their preparation and focus falters and they end up losing to the weaker team while thinking about the next match. This happens with EXTREME frequency is professional sports (even more so College because of the age, momentum and morale are more impacting to them then pros).

I have faith Jaedong will be extremely focused on Kal, but if he thinks about Flash more than just a little he is putting himself at a disadvantage.

Great OP!

As much as I love Kal as underdog I think JD will sweep the floor with him and thats just becouse imho a) JD is a beast b) I don't think PvZ is balanced enought as of yet

Only thing that might go in Kal's favour is the map pool which is quite good for P.
Can't wait for this clash!

I personally can't wait to see flash win the OSL and see who win this match.

If flash is able to win both leagues versus protoss, he will put even his staunchest doubters to rest.

Also even though a jaedong vs flash finals sounds amazing I can't see jaedong beating flash in a bo5 on these maps and with the very reduced midgames that two hat muta creates the games are fairly cut and dry which flash excells in, imo.

Kal's pretty good PvZ but he's so inconsistent lately...well he's so inconistent forever. Should be really good series if Kal doesn't screw up and lose for silly reasons.

He's as consistent as he's ever been. Of his 4 vZ losses since the start of december last year, only two games I saw were hydra busts. No idea about the other two, but unless he gets cheesed to hell, I'm sure he can put up an amazing fight.
