Seriously, this is going to be so awesome. I hope for an epic best of 5. Flash with the Map Pool advantage, but both players seem so ridiculously strong, I can't tell who is ahead. Also: HYPE HYPE | ||

I think it also explains why I am forever a Jaedong fan, and despite Flash being one of the greatest players of all time (and arguably technically better than Jaedong, although their head-to-head championship record is yet to be decided) I simply cannot be a Flash fan. Still, I totally understand how people could be. These are two truly dominant players. Nicely done! This summarizes my thought's as well. | ||

on a side note, I love how we've "classified" Flash and Jaedong as different races. We compliment people like Stork for his PvT. But. We worship JvZ and FvT. And the matchup is no longer TvZ or ZvT... it's Freaking JvF or FvJ. Two "of" the greatest players of all time? No. The GREATEST hands-down. Perhaps not the most influential. Perhaps not the most popular. But by far the two most skillful, strategic, powerful, monstrous beings in all of e-sports. You know you could have won against Boxer, Nada, Oov, Savior (if you paid him enough lol), but you KNOW you would NEVER be able to defeat the J and F. I personally think everyone should stop picking sides and bow down to them both. As the writer here said nicely, Yin & Yang, Steel and Quicksilver... both of them together is what make up starcraft. (lol protoss.) | ||

and flaws, Jaedong has them. So many games I've been dumbstruck in front of my screen trying to figure out why jaedong fails, being too cocky with mutas or going eco in a game where he should expect the opponent to rush and looking so tired and off even though the stakes are high. noone punishes an enemy for mistakes like jaedong. not a perfect wall in? oh hai here comes the lings. bad turret placement? gg already. in the end flash is the more solid player but jaedong the one that makes me excited. um.. not sure what i wanted to say.. just thanks for the writeup i guess | ||

Flash actually improvise a lot in his game, more than majority of other progamers I would say. He doesn't try to account for every possibility beforehand, he let his game sense and adaptability to cope with every situation when it arises. I've read probably every Flash interview, and something along the lines "situation X arised so I followed my instinct and luckily everything went well" isn't uncommon. His builds are more like an outline, basic stuff to do, and he than let his incredible adaptability to expand on them. There is a reason no other Terran was able to copy Flash, they simply lack the game sense and adaptability. There is a reason no other progamer has so many seemingly impossible comebacks, they simply fall apart when their game plan is compromised (see fantasy). But with Flash, it's different. Even in very disadvategous position, he is able to read the situation and make on the fly decision, which will often allow him to come back. Also (MSL finals spoiler ahead): + Show Spoiler + Look at the game 5 in Flash vs Effort in last OSL finals. Look at the game 5 in Light vs Jaedong MSL semis. Now look at the game 5 in MSL finals and try to say that Flash is a player with safe approach to the game with straight face. He isn't. He can (and usually do) play safe against lesser opponent knowing his superior skills will win the game for him, but he can also take huge risks if he feels it's for the best. Jaedong to me feels inferior as the adaptablity goes. His true strengh is his extreme mental fortitude. At least that's how I see it. | ||
