I think he's like 3 for 20 or 30 something. I think nowadays he just does it on purpose though. Which is why I'm pissed he picked JD. And on side notes, those cop outs, Kal, Jangbi, Yarnc. I rofl at you guys. | ||

Apparently Flash has Effort, who is very good at ZvT. Hopefully, Jaedong isn't relying on his teammates (hiya and lomo) for pratice, or this won't end well. However, it's very hard to find someone who can effectively mimic flash's playstyle and skill. Maybe Leta? Hwasin? Really? (if just looking at mechanics and/or TvZ) | ||

So both Odin and Sea mentions a racial imbalance in TvZ. However I think both Jaedong and Flash stand above racial imbalances pretty much; Flash can dominate protoss in OSL finals and Jaedong owns terrans. If games are longer, I predict Jaedong will win, because late game ZvT can be brutal for terran with swarms, ultras and what not. Both players are looking super strong atm, it's gonna be a great finals. | ||

Both players are looking super strong atm, it's gonna be a great finals. I disagree on your first point. I think it's actually the opposite. When both players have basically perfected their races, the racial imbalace becomes even more important since you're seeing the best both have to offer and it becomes a question of which units soft-counter the other sides in the best and most efficient way (clearly giving T the edge in the MU). Look at what JD is doing to the S-class protoss  . | ||

Don't get your hopes up TOO high, because Flash vs Jaedong are known for their short and painful games even more than their long and epic ones. I'm guessing that at least two games will be <10 minutes, but also at least one will be long and awesome >20 minutes. | ||

I'd say his chances of winning are ~20%, even less now that Kim Carrier predicted him to win >.< Flash is just too hot right now, but I'm still gonna cheer for JD all the way. OH common have to have more faith in the dong ^^. | ||

Flash seems as if he is practicing his TvZ with Calm and Effort both of whom have great ZvT. He'll be FINE Jaedong... I wonder. | ||
