Current top SC2 players should fucking pray every day before going to sleep that BW doesn't die any soon. xD nice Indeed it is hard to imagine these two not owning everyone at SC2 as well. Still, I think you exaggerate. Yes they currently dominate pretty much, especially Flash. But they are still pretty young and not so long on the scene. Nada won his Golden Mouse 5 years or so after his first appearance. Players come and go and in two or three years there will be others who beat them | ||

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. As a Jaedong fan, I agree. It wasn't domination at all. Jaedong saved himself miraculously like 5 times in that game and in the end managed to win. His playstyle makes it seem like he "destroys" his opponent, but really just one tiny thing can go wrong for him and he will lose outright, making it look like an awful loss. That's why most of Jaedong's games seem like he's dominating when he wins, and when he loses his losses seem just so stupid. In reality it really is razor thin all game long. If everything clicks for Jaedong I'd say that he might even be the favorite against Flash in a straight-up game, but just one mistake will make him instantly lose. I'm predicting a 3-2 series, no idea which way it'll go | ||

As for PL/MSL, they'll run anyways and win when Gretech take Kespa/MBC to court. | ||

Also, this OSL is hosted in China, if I get good results, this year will become the most successful year in my career. Regardless of the outcome of the OSL, this is the most successful year of his career. Making 3 dual consecutive finals, winning 3 (hopefully 4) titles, plus winning SPL and WL is really something else. I predict 3-1 Flash, 3-2 if he spawns at 6 on Dreamliner. | ||

As for PL/MSL, they'll run anyways and win when Gretech take Kespa/MBC to court. Assuming the worst for a second (matter goes to court with KeSPA losing, or just PL dying without going to court), the individual leagues will die out shortly after. Progaming teams exist for the team dynamic. Individual leagues only really cater to the top % of progamers who can actually make it past ro32 on a regular basis (2-3 players per team). If there was no PL, the team numbers would dwindle down considerably because a lot of A teamers, not to mention B-teamers would retire for lack of playtime. Additionally, team sponsors would be a lot less likely to care as much, because they will get considerably less coverage from 1 of their players potentially making the ro16 than they would from their team playing every week. In the end, PL has to survive for BW to survive. Individual leagues alone will be the end of progaming teams, and at best you'd have a few sponsored clans with a much less professional setting and atmosphere. Pretty depressing to think about. | ||

Final words. In the past, there were times when I thought too lowly of myself, and there were times when I thought too highly of myself. After my first OSL victory, I was overly confident (afterwards), which was very regrettable. However, recently, I feel that my performance and conditions are worthy of my wins from the past, and also worthy of more wins in the future. This past August has been the most successful period in my career, I accomplished all of my goals. I want to win in September, and make September (part of) my most successful months as well. This is sooo true. I remember the arogant Flash after his first OSL win and the underperforming Flash right after that. But it looks like he finaly found a balance now. Also the statement "It began with Boxer and ended with Flash" is giving me chills. It seems...odly fitting. But I hope BW will stay strong in Korea and Flash will have time to show us more amazing games. | ||

XDDDD SO TRUE. This literally made me LoL, but yea. I greatly look forward to it, and as a Chinese person, I hope this helps start SC in china. If you watched the 3rd VOD, u can see flash curse when he sees the proxy gate, he really was surprised xD. Anyways, thanks for the interview translation. Greatly appreciated | ||

Starcraft has never seen such dual dominance...The fact that both of them are playing during the same period and consistently both making finals/winning (moreso flash as of now though) is just amazing. I agree, Bonjwa can't describe Flash and Jaedong...they're even better than the best other players, even in their primes...no doubt about it | ||

You really get the feeling they'd battle this hard if they were in an otherwise empty room with no money on the line. Flash = Naruto Uzumaki Jaedong = Sasuke Uchiha Please don't liken starcraft to a very shitty manga | ||
