It may be hard since I think there may be a break in Proleague around the time of MSL finals so most players would be off(again just speculation, for further explanation check out my posts in the lineup threads). Kal has a chance to beat Jaedong so don't call it just yet. | ||

Well, depends on how you look at it. Here are the tournaments: http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/leagues/51_KPGA_4th_Tour http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/leagues/50_Panasonic_OSL Looking at the dates. He was playing the latter stages of the MSL at the same time he was playing the earlier stages of the OSL. The only thing that was a month apart were the finals, really. It's still very impressive, but it obviously wouldn't be as impressive as winning the OSL and MSL in the same season like Flash has a shot at. The individual finals will be played less than one week apart, which is a much tougher schedule. THOUGH, amusingly enough, Jaedong/Kal will only have 1 more day of unfettered practice time over Flash, since he plays the OSL finals the day after Kal vs Jaedong. It's only a slight practice advantage. The most difficult part, I think, is when you're in the early series/group stages of both tournaments and still have to play proleague because you're not that close to title contention -- this is where Jaedong faltered last season and, frankly, where every progamer not named Nada has faltered as well. Once you get to this stage it's just playing 2 Bo5s a week apart while taking a small break from PL after fulfilling his duties which, honestly? Doesn't seem that bad for Flash. I'm just rambling but I think Flash's workload isn't so bad right now and he has a real shot at this. Totally excited. But hell, I'll just be content with an OSL title. :3 | ||

But now, if he does manage a double star league this season, I am going to have to admit, and it's hard to say, it'd be pretty cool. The catch... is that Jaedong knocks him out of both leagues next season :p edit: I just realized: If I'm Kwanro and Jaedong helped Flash practice, I'm pissed at Jaedong. | ||

Jaedong had to play against Calm on one day and against fantasy the next. | ||

Well, I mean, I've hated his "character."(like in a script) I don't really know the guy at all and I have nothing against him other than he's terran, ugh, and we zerg players have to stay united.

Wow thanks for repeating me when I said Flash has a more lenient schedule. The difference is you come off as really angry and decide to vilify Flash. =\ man just last season I could bring it upon myself to say Jaedong was amazing --the best, even-- and still be a fan of Flash. You don't have to diss Flash's accomplishments by calling him lucky. #1 in proleague, MSL and OSL isn't just being lucky. edit -- actually Flash isn't #1 in MSL. before the semifinals he was 7-1 compared to Jaedong's 7-0. He had significantly harder competition but it's not fair to take away that Jaedong still hasn't dropped a game in MSL. | ||

I was just upset when you said "early series/group stages of both tournaments and still have to play proleague because you're not that close to title contention -- this is where Jaedong faltered last season" Jaedong didnt falter in the early stages of the tournament... Flash has been playing incredible this season and he fully deserves two final appearances, its just... Jaedong deserved it too.  | ||

I saw the games, and I cant believe Kawrano went Guards twice. Other than hoping for a ass whopping there is no better choice. Set 4 he even see 1 of Flash's starports. | ||
