With  Flash and  Jaedong set to go in the MSL final for the third time in a row I've put together a pretty long preview for the series which reviews and recaps the entire history of their rivalry.
Contains:
-Relevant statistics/records -Recaps of every bracket play series the two have played in individual competition -Why the LeeSsang Rok is a better rivalry than the Lim-Jin Rok ( BoxeR vs. YellOw) -How the Flash vs. Jaedong rivalry has evolved over the years as the 'Little Monster' vs. the 'Legend killer' became the 'Ultimate Weapon' vs. the 'Tyrant'. -VOD links for every map in their playoff bracket matches
Soak in the history of the best rivalry in competitive South Korean StarCraft history and get yourself ready for the next chapter tomorrow morning (if you're not South Korean)
Read the full preview here: The call of the LeeSsang Rok!.
Thanks a lot to all of the resources I used to put this together, it may only last a day in terms of ultimate relevance but it was a work of passion.

Nice article so far. I think that usurping the LimJinRok is a bit much, but making a new era of rivalry is more appropriate. For sure this is the greatest modern rivalry, but saying that it is more epic than LimJin is somewhat ignorant of the state of things back when they were both huge. There is a reason why Yellow and Boxer play each other in all-stars matches and they draw so much attention, in a time when neither can live up to the skills of Flash and Jaedong. It's a new era, and thus a new rivalry, not a better one.

Urgh, I can't wait for these games. I don't know how I'll cope though....during Flash's match against Leta today my teeth were clacking from nerves the whole way through, and that was just the R08 >___<

In their last 17 meetings Flash has likewise won 10 maps for an identical 58.82%. [...] Take the WCG finals out of the picture for a moment as a thought experiment, for the reasons listed before, and Flash has won 10 of the last 15 for 66.66%.
WCG finals was three sets, so if you take them out Flash has won 9 out of the last 14 for 64% 
He has twice as many golds as Jaedong in 2010 and two silvers to Jaedong's zero.
Jaedong has a silver from losing to Flash D:
I'm just nitpicking though hehe. Nice article
