Obviously, whoever cheeses or all-ins is going to win. The winner is going to face a ton of flak afterwards.

Jaedong will have had a greater period to prepare for this match. I think Kim Carrier picked true.

This translation was AMAZING! I was pumped before, but this is a fucking hype machine. Thanks so much!

Some interesting predictions...was a fun read.

Regardless though...
The outcome of this series will affirm that Jaedong is indeed god.

This is probably the first time in very long time where I feel Jaedong is a heavy underdog going into a match. 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 ^^.


I really really want to, but honestly if I had money on the line, there's no way I'd put it on Jaedong. After the last few ZvTs he has played, especially the 0-2 against Flash I just don't see him pulling this one out of the bag. Flash is just at a much higher level than anyone else right now.

Just curious, can someone explain the Carrier curse? like how bad is it? is the guy worse than Konadora?

Oh he's terrible. 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.

Actually, Kim Carry is 1 for 34, only Stork managing to beat his curse.

Very cool, thanks!

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.


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 .


Good point. I think I actually agree with you after some thinking on the matter. The really good players have learned how to "exploit" the racial imbalances, ie. Jaedong vs any protoss.

I like how everyone says the MSL maps are T > Z, except for Jangbi, who somehow thinks they're better for Zerg overall (how would you know, you play Protoss?) and SKT1 Terrans (really? you have decent Zergs to practice against to base this on?)

I was worried when Kim Carry started talking about how good Flash is, but he predicted Jaedong in the end so I was relieved.
Favorite progamers (in order): Flash, Stork, Violet, Sea. ||| Get better soon, Violet!
