▶ Boxer - Flash wins MSL, but hopes Jaedong

Right now, there is no other player in the world except Jaedong who can block Flash's path. This IS the final destination for both players. However, Flash did beat Jaedong in the OSL.

If Jaedong cannot find a weakness to Flash's 1 Barrack Double Command play, Flash will steam-roll over Jaedong with complete ease. But this isn't the only problem Jaedong has to overcome. Right now, Flash can just about throw ANYTHING at Jaedong. Flash has all the cards, it is Jaedong's huge burden to predict every single one.

In conclusion, this is the battle of wits. Whoever pulls the better card and whoever out-thinks the other will be the winner of this final. I believe Flash will win, however I hope Jaedong will win.

Nothing should be unstoppable when you see it coming......
(T/N: Oh Boxer. Oh you.)
(By the way if you haven't gotten this part yet, Boxer was referencing his 3x Bunker Rush)

▶ NaDa - Jaedong will win MSL
Predicting the winner of this final was incredibly hard for. First of all I just want to say Jaedong will be the winner.

Flash and Jaedong already met at the RO8 in OSL. There, Flash defeated Jaedong 2:0. I believe ever since that day Jaedong would've prepared even harder for this final more than anyone.

Also, going to 2 finals simultaneously is such a big factor here. Getting to both finals is a great feat itself however winning both is incredibly hard.

I believe the series will be the highest level of play anyone has ever seen. After a very close series, I believe Jaedong will be the victor with the final score being 3:2.

▶ iloveoov - Flash will win 3:1

Flash will win. Why? Because he is strong (laughs). In my honest opinion, Flash will prepare all 5 games for a 1 barrack double command play. Everything will boil down to this, "How can Jaedong penetrate Flash's build?"

Flash will probably prepare for this final like he would prepare for any other zerg final, but Jaedong will have to get sneaky. Hidden expansions, all ins, greedy builds and cheeses. But if I have to say, Flash will win 3:1

Haha, but seriously I wish both players do terrible. After this final ends, both players must slump for an eternity. Bisu, Fantasy and T1 has to dominate too you know!

▶ Savior - Flash wins MSL, 3:0 is possible

Both players are at their prime now and everything they do is brilliant. But as of now Flash is unstoppable.

Flash just won the OSL recently and he is at the best condition ever. The maps are slanting towards flash too. Everything combined, Flash is just at a much better position.

Including everything I just said, if Flash manages to take match point from Jaedong, I believe it is possible for Flash to win win 3:0.

Thanks MrHoon for the translations!
There is hopeful symbolism in the fact that flags do not wave in a vacuum.

Oh god, oov. That's one hell of a quote. It's interesting to see these guys' views on the finals, though - thanks Hoon.

"Nothing should be unstoppable when you see it coming....."

I seriously hope JD has some stuff up his sleeve. I just wanna see a bunch of dead marines. Terran blood makes me all giddy with glee.

And on a side note, I thought I saw 4 threads with the same fucking name when I looked at the sidebar on the left.
God Bless

Oh man.... Is it just me or does it look like JD has a mountain to climb here.... If he win's he'll have to beat three four bonjwas it seems.

Thanks Hoon.

Boxer is most insightful, interesting that Nada thinks Jaedong will win and Savior thinks Flash will win. Both going against their successors, jealousy perhaps? Oov you're such a joker and I love you for it, need more of this in pro sc.

Oov :D
These predictions are awesomely insightful, plus NaDa kinda may have a point, since he was the one to win both titles he may know if it is very hard to do, especially if 2. final is vs the best player besides you.
I got very pumped about it after reading these predictions

Thanks for translation Hoon!

Nada wants JD to stop Flash from doing arguably better than him (winning both leagues same season, but Nada had more time between finals and faced the same opponent in both finals, Chojja).

Savior wants Flash to stop JD from becoming the zerg with the most titles (they're tied right now...)

Joking of course, it's still interesting to have their opinion on this final, i really hope it becomes a classic with 5 epic games !
