I just want to remind you guys that if Jaedong wins this he will have 6 SL titles and IMO golden mouse and 3 MSL > golden mouse.

I wonder how all the KT fans will defend flash if he loses both finals...

He was unlucky to have to play his weakest matchup in both finals. Some Storks and Kals, and it would've been easy-pie.

Yeah but if Jaedong wins he will have 2 finals wins over Flash in a row which is pretty overwhelming.

Overwhelming is kinda pushing it. In his peak years Federer lost to Nadal in the French Open Finals every single year yet that didn't somehow take away from Federer's other accomplishments and mean that Nadal was a better player in those years. You gotta look at the big picture.

Obviously Flash has a way to go before he catches up to JD in terms of overall starleague success, but even if Flash loses both MSL's to JD this year, if he wins both OSL's I don't think too much can be read into it. Flash still had the better year. Maybe Flash just is weak to Jaedong's particular playstyle (like Federer is to Nadal)

The point is just that even being consistently beaten by another player in a final no less doesn't necessarily outweigh every other factor

How can Flash say he is the best player if he has lost a finals twice in a row to the same player?

QFFT. Jaedong is even more of a monster lately than usual, he has this, no question.

This is seriously a flawed argument which has been dealt with a lot already this topic, even this very page. It's not all about head to head record. And if you wanna start talking like that, why not argue like this: how can JD call himself as good a player as Flash if he crashed out of the OSL the last two seasons while Flash made it to the finals both times?

Just please realize there's a bigger picture here than just looking at head to head records, even if it's in consecutive finals (see: Federer-Nadal).

Regardless of what happens in the final, this match officially solidifies Jaedong as the GOAT of 5 pooling.

Ok... but to be fair this isn't just a head to head, this is the championship game that occurs at the end of the playoffs. I don't care if you had a better regular season record, if you don't win the championship you can't really call yourself the best.
