<3 Flash.

He was defeated in Game3 though - I cant belive people even disagree with this.


If Flash says he had a decent chance, he had a decent chance and that's the end of it.

Flash is perhaps more biased than most. He's also pissed off with them so even if he knows they made the right call he'd be unlikely to absolve them.
Flash's opinion on someone else's game would be invaluable but on his own game he's hardly impartial. Just for reference, Fantasy said that the refs made the right call.



i agree, but the point still is that if flash thought it was unfair to him, this decision must have bothered him much more than we initially thought, which explains his shattered mindset going into game 4.

Good for Flash. He's a true man. (Unlike the judges.... perhaps they were JD fanboys?? KIDDINGO)

Set three was obviously a tough moment for both of them, the question is: how do you handle it? Before he even heard the decision, Flash was already panicky and lost. Jaedong is a bit older, more used to that sort of attention and was able to keep calmer. The actual decision did make a difference, but a player who was more strong minded can actually find motivation in being treated unfairly, rather than fall apart.

I think this was a great growing experience for Flash and there is no doubt the future looks bright for him.

I know he wants to let it go, but I really wish Flash explained why he thought he was in a decent position. Also, did someone say Fantasy agreed with the refs' decision? Does anyone know where that was?

When I was watching the finals live, I could not believe that Flash managed to go right over after the match and congratulate Jaedong. I know it wasn't his fault, but still. How do you just bite the bullet and smile to the guy that just beat you in a situation like that?

Props to Flash for being way more of a good sport than I could ever be.

seems like a very ghetto finals stadium; no power no heating, seats only 1,000 people, next thing you know, no computers.

I personally blame MBC for shit-tier organization.
KESPA for ... their retarded rules (not just related to this event). Those refs also sound like total douches.

But Flash and Jaedong both handled this extremely well. Mad props to Flash for finalizing this whole thing.

- Also I just want to say Jaedong hyung better be ready. I'm going to order the most expensive dinner in Korea (laughs).


Lol haha that was cool!

While I think Flash handled the situation rather well from a media perspective, I think his attitude in game 4 was pretty poor. Sure, you can be emotionally drained and whatnot, but that's not the heart of a champion. Gotta struggle through everything until victory. With the way Flash was playing, he DEFINITELY could have won, yet it seemed as if he just gave up in game 4. This interview pretty much proves it as well. You ain't gonna win with a mindset of "I can't win anymore". No matter the situation, just gotta get through it.


Well JD just happened to 9 pool. Its not like he played shitty or anything.

Wow, that replay situation is pretty terrible. I hope those refs get fired or something.

Thanks for this though MrHoon~


That's really not it. Their boss ordered for them to say that ofc. That's generally the Korean way, they try to make it fast and un-emotional as possible. According to my Korean friend at least.

Im glad Flash took this cool. Besides I am angry with MBCgames and KeSPA's role on the situation, i was so worried if Flash might slump due to such ridiculous event and loss. I am glad he took it nice, and did good game on today's winners league.
