Jaedong has no problem beating Flash in a straight up game I'd say, in fact in the last series Jaedong lost to mech and new weird timing push strats, but totally dominated Flash in the straight up game..

This is stupid. If you actually watched the game, you'd realise that Jaedong was basically on a razor thin edge the entire game, with Flash clearly advantageous in the early mid-game. Because Flash was overly aggressive trying to shut down 1oclock, he threw away map control, and it was only then that Jaedong took the advantage. To suggest that Jaedong had no problem is ludicrous, and the ravings of a ill-informed fanboy.

The only thing which makes the idea that BW may die soon a bit less bitter is to imagine how violently Flash and Jaedong will anal rape players such as Idra or Morrow if they switch to SC2.

Current top SC2 players should fucking pray every day before going to sleep that BW doesn't die any soon.

I hope they make this into one of the greatest finals of all time; with the uncertainty surrounding KeSPA-Gretech, the progaming teams, the new SC2 scene, I just hope that people will be given something unforgettable in this series. If SC:BW progaming is going to end, it should come to an end that will resound forever in people's minds.

6 finals in a row for Flash and 4 out of 6 for Jaedong... totally ridiculous dominance by these two players. This could be the final showdown between two titans under the current BW setup... who knows what will happen to the proleague and the teams after this final

For fuck's sake, why can't they just leave Brood War alone?

"Oh shit, there's no Brood War on TV anymore. I GUESS I WILL BUY SC2 INSTEAD LOLOLOLOLOL" fucking idiots, god damn it.

Ha ha...this is really, really, really getting ridiculous. These two guys are dominating BW so hard its not even funny.
Still disappointed that Stork didn't make it into the finals; Flash vs Stork would've been so much cooler (by my reckoning, anyway). Ah, well...it'll still be fun, I'm sure.

Here's to Flash vs Jaedong MSL Finals: Take Three!

Free would have had a chance of beating Jaedong, because he has done it in the past and has good pvz. I think we all realized though that he was gonna get savaged by Flash. Unfortunately Stork choked as he often does, so we now have a repeat of the repeat of the repeat of repeat.

I think if JD wins this OSL we should crown both Flash and JD bonjwas. It was unfair that JD and Flash were part of the same era and at the same time its a great thing to have such a dominating rivlary with such a massive disparity between these two compared to the rest of the crowd. Its obvious if JD and Flash played in differant eras they would easily be the considered the best player of that time and cosidered the all time greatest player as well. So gogo double bonjwas

But didn't Jaedong say in a interview that he is invincible against Mech and that Mech should only be reserved for Protoss?

He did... T___T...I blame the marines.

Edit: I recall flash saying mech was for protoss too...I blame the maps.

Honestly, I think with this kind of unprecedented 'twilight' of pro SC, a rivalry like this might actually be the worst thing for BW. What the scene really needed was a diverse scene of top players and upstarts, but instead we're getting the same old things over and over - a rivalry between two great players that always turns out to be either anticlimactic or 1-sided.

However, with the jaded state of BW as it is, I'm hoping that Flash and Jaedong can pull out the amazing final we've been waiting for - i'm not talking that last MSL; i'm talking the NATE MSL before the power fail - that kind of play. If the scene should end, it's only fitting it ends with a show of the culmination of all SC before it.

So yea,

Good players settle who's better with a best of X games
Great players settle who's better with a tournament final
