You know, even though I cursed Effort for taking out Kal, after reading his answers, I actually want to see if he actually can use the absence of his zvt to surprise Flash and even take him out. His confidence is making me believe he can actually beat Flash but his zvt losing streak was pretty strong so there are doubts. Really looking forward to these finals and see if Flash can take home or see Effort snatch it away.

Thanks for translations! =]

Effort has nothing but his confidence, and any real chance of putting up a fight can only come from confidence. I actually like Flash's situation, since he only has to practice TvZ now.

The fact that Effort hasn't displayed his ZvT in a while is a double-edged sword for him in my opinion, since Flash has not showcased his vs. Zerg as well recently, as far as I know.

Also, if you, random TLnetter, were to make a bet on this bo5, and your life would depend on picking the winner, who would you go with?

Yeah I thought as much.

Edit: where are my manners, thank you very much for the timely translation Smix!

Well what is he supposed to say; "Flash will stomp me so hard in the finals but I'm glad I got this far!".

Good that Effort is confident. It will hurt him even more when he will get rolled in first 2 games like + Show Spoiler +

Free

was.

I hope Flash have enough different strategies prepared for Zerg. It is really important that Flash will come up with fresh builds for MSL if he wants to take down Jaedong (or less likely Calm).

I think

Kal would have honestly given (T)

Flash a tougher time, purely because (T)

Flash only has to practice against zerg now.

For some reason I really dislike Effort. I hope Flash crushes him in the finals.

You know, Kal was disgustingly confident like that once, look what happened. It's entertaining to see, but it's kind of a stupid move, especially against Flash. It's important not to fear him, but that only works when you...well, actually don't fear him. This interview only translates to me as "I'm scared as hell of this match, but I'm gonna try to be tough for you guys and pretend I'm confident". I was rooting for him against Kal, but come on, it's Flash. And he only needs to practice one matchup now.

T.O.P.

I'm not so sure about that. After watching Flash vs. Free. I didn't watch Flash to play against a protoss in the Finals. that was a boring series.

At the final teamliquid.net will explode when effort will rape Flash 3-0, revolutionizing ZvT with a new build.

He will say i got the idea during my holidays in Thailand.

I guess

Kal isn't the one that's gonna redefine Pv (T)

Flash, after all.

Nah, Flash is rumored to be an extreme straightedge when it comes to this game (ie, completely and "naively" honest)

This is really a toss-up for me. I've absoutley LOVED watching Flash dominate everyone for a while. It's really entertaining just watching how simpily AMAZING his gameplay is. But you gotta root for the underdog in a neutral position. EffOrt is an amazing player too and really, all I hope for his amazing games.

edit: yea, thanks Smix.
