According to Flash's winner interview, Flash played 80 TvT practice games within the span of 3 days. He lost one. That was to ForGG. So ForGG went 1-79 (probably not that ridiculous, since there are Terrans in KT) against Flash. Nice! Did you watch Flash v.s. Baby? Holy crap, that was some S-class play from Baby. At 19 minute point, I thought Baby was gonna gg. He was 1 base v.s. 4 base! But holy shit, Baby clawed his way back. The only reason Flash won in the end was due to his dropship fleet. Unfortunately, Baby has dropped a game against Flash. Coming back 2-1 Flash in TvT is almost impossible. Kal is like FBH. He is ALWAYS just one step short of victory against Flash. One recall away, one expansion away, one push away. Kal's record against Flash is dismal. But if you watched their recent games, you would realize that if Kal can improve his PvT by just a little bit more, he can take Flash to the 5th set and beyond. Zero. He's one creative kid. His games are rarely boring and always high level. If he faces against Flash, I would expect a fun final. Other than that, I don't hold out much hope. I give better chance to Kal than Movie. Movie's PvT is...always iffy. He can perform either great or bad. We'll see. Pure ALWAYS plays standard. He is one of the most solid players out there when it comes to standard play. But NOBODY plays standard better than Flash. You can not defeat Flash with standard play. If Pure somehow gets to the final, expect 3-0. | ||

 BaBy had the best chance, purely because of the nature of a mirror match-up leaves even the best players vulnerable. But with Flash up 1-0, BaBy's chances have gotten much slimmer.  Movie knows what it's like to play Flash on a big stage, and take a game from him, and has a better shot at winning than Pure does, even if it's not a high one. Movie will have the hunger though. Only if Flash does some severe underestimating will he lose to Pure.  EffOrt has a better upside than ZerO, but it'll be very hard to gauge his ZvT form if he plays Flash. ZerO is much more consistent in the match-up, but consistency is not what it will take. Kal is likely the best chance to beat Flash right now, but his progress to the finals is not at all assured, with two strong ZvP players in his way. That said, Kal's two very close losses to Flash show that while he can play with him, he is unlikely to deliver. forGG is a big wildcard, Flash is more skilled than him, but the nature of being teammates would complicate things. fOrGG won't beat Flash in the game though, there'd have to be an unforeseen mental edge to push him over the top. | ||

Pure is so bad he's been left out of the Proleague roster for the past two and a half months. Isn't he ranked like... 7th-8th inhouse? Sure he's motivated by individual leagues, but it's limited how much beyond his own capacity he can actually play against the best BW player of all time. Seems like most progamers these days encounter some serious mental blocks when meeting Flash. | ||

pure is like an unwritten paper, his story is gonna be written. he can decide if he will become the winner-guy, movie already has a silver and people know hes not good enough to be better than that. | ||

Last two games they've played (if I recall correctly) Kal has managed to get into lategame with a better eco, and lost both times to upgraded goliaths. If he can push his lategame just alittle bit further it might work. Still, I'd put my money on Flash because of his streak and routine in oneman tournaments. | ||
