No one is arguing that so far Jaedong has accomplished more (more medals etc) during his career than Flash so far. Aside from Elo records, kespa records, winning percentage and such... | ||

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)  | ||

Flash is 26-5. Jaedong is 25-6. Of course I chose 31 because it coincides with Jaedong all-killing Sparkyz and ending his mild slump, but this is still a Bo5 between two dominant and mostly evenly-matched players. | ||

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). | ||

Jaedong is even more of a monster lately than usual, he has this, no question. agreed Jaedong will win this like last MSL and no matter what people say Jaedong was going to win in that power outage hands down. I can't wait for this rematch of jaedong winning again :D | ||

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. | ||

What about the time he 5-pooled Skyhigh in game 4 of the WL finals and then instead of continuing the pressure by making nothing but lings, changing to an econ approach after the initial rush stalled out? Maybe my memory is bad but I think that's how it went. http://www.youtube.com/v/Dyr_q8XPPJA EDIT: Go Jaedong! I've never been a huge Flash fan. I realize all the (legitimate?) bonjwas were terran so it fits but I'll always pull for the zergs :D | ||

But all this hypothetical stuff is getting silly (''If this happens your guy will suck, therefore your guy sucks'' ).  | ||
