Um Jaekyung (Fat Guy)'s Prediction -
Flash 3:1▶ My expectation is for Flash to win 3:1. The only victory from Movie I expect will come from the first game on New Heartbreak Ridge. Being a royal roader, it will be a challenge for Movie to keep the momentum going and handle the pressure of the big stage. Finals experience will be what gives Flash the edge here, after convincingly beating Stork 3-0 in the Bacchus 2008 OSL Finals, even while being written off by some experts.
Because Flash has a three day buffer between his NATE MSL Semi-Final and this final itself, CJ will be looking to exploit this as much as possible. It is possible with the correct practice and scheduling, Movie can be guided to victory.
Nonetheless, Flash's skill level is simply at peak form at the moment. Seeing as he 'lacked' practice in the MSL and concentrated mostly on the OSL final, I see no other result than either 3:0 or 3:1 for him.
Kim Taehyung (Kim Carrier)'s Prediction -
Movie 3:2▶ With both his immense skill level and finals experience, Flash is obviously the favourite. While he has shown to have near-flawless play against Zergs, his MSL series against Best clearly showed vulnerabilities of the Ultimate Weapon, and these games are a good starting point for analysis.
Any Protoss playing a game against Flash is difficult. His turtle-style is the strongest in the world. It will take a lot of hard work from Movie to defeat him.
Movie will need to show a less traditional style of play if he were to defeat Flash, using unorthodox strategies (like proxy expansions etc) to throw off Flash. The preparation and execution of these strategies will be the most important point in Movie's prelude to the final.
Movie should also take advantage that Flash has the MSL finals to worry about.
Therefore I predict Movie to win 3:2 and become a royal roader.
Kim Changsun (Glasses Guy)'s Prediction -
Movie 3:1▶ While Flash had to deal with MSL, Movie was able to concentrate solely on the OSL finals, because of this, I expect victory from him.
Not dealing with OSL, MSL and Proleague and preparing for a wide variety of maps is a luxury Movie and CJ do not have to deal with. Because of this, Movie's chances of winning are increased.
Therefore, Movie should comfortably take out the first two games, before taking it out in the fourth game.
Kingdom's Prediction - Flash 3:1▶ With so many games spread out for Flash, it put alot of pressure on the KT coaching staff to prepare strategies for his many games.
After the first game it will be a landslide for whoever loses the first set.
Nal_rA's Prediction - Flash 3:1 or 3:2▶ Without a doubt the I predict the winner to be Flash.
His momentum at the moment is ridiculous. looking at both his Proleague and Individual League records, there is no need for an explanation as to why he will win.
While many people say that the stress of practicing for all leagues is there, Flash has the physical and mental capacity to handle it.
That being said, I predict Flash 3:1 or 3:2.
