I think T1 guys picking Jaedong isn't hate as much as it is just group-think. They're a bunch of guys stuck in a house and they probably already discussed the finals among themselves. The predictions just reflect the consensus they all came to.

Kinda funny that they all picked him considering T1 is probably the best team at sniping Jaedong with seemingly lesser players using ingenious builds against him.

i'm so hyped for this finals, it's very unusual to me seeing JD as an underdog

i hope he wins, he's my favorite player (and one of the few who can overcome map imbalances)

i predict a 3-2 victory (LLWWW) for JD, just like it was with his series against fantasy in osl finals

Lol at calms comment.

Jaedong will have to overcome the T>Z factor, the maps being favorable for T, Flash having the momentum of just winning the OSL, and the fact no Zerg looks close to his level.

Oh, and before people say Flash has a more busy schedule, his last few games have all been against high level zergs. If anything, such intense games against zerg only help him.

However, if anyone can do such a thing, it would be Jaedong. I'd imagine he likes the underdog role.

Haha, I didn't see the headings at first. As I was reading through the first batch I was like "wow, not even one is indecisive or picking Jaedong lol." If I had to pick; I'd probably go Flash. He is playing like a monster right now. Jaedong is playing pretty well, but I don't think he's quite at the top of his game right now.

Yeah, its crazy how much respect progamers have for Jaedong.

Flash is a monster atm, has T>Z and map help. Add the OSL win and against anyone not named Jaedong people would predict rape. But most are saying it will be close and some even predict Jaedong winning.
