while his reverse sweep of flash was great, we should not forget that he had been flashs practice partner for quite some months going into this finals, as flash was practicing with effort to shape up for what was considered his main rival back at the time, jaedong.

we should keep in mind that there are always serious mindgames and trickery going on between practice partners. and we also shouldnt forget how flash basically threw away game 4 by going for a super risky all-in strat.

anyway, efforts return is a great thing for the scene. hope he gets back in form quickly.

Haha, don't sweat it man, Flash has nothing more to prove to anyone ever how good he is. Don't need to justify him not having 7 or 8 titles.

i dont understand all the hype really , effort will start okay but i dont think he will ever get into a final again, thou i hope it proves me wrong. i sincerely see more future in hydra, he needs just a little more experience and a couple of years, and he will become Cj golden zerg.

hopefully he can catch up, it is a shame he quit even after he proved to be a great player, it would make sense to quit if you're a bad player xD

TLPD nickname. I have no idea where this came from. I thought the alien was more appropriate.

Effort vs Flash @ FS

Quite a few vods posted, but didn't see this one. One of my favourite games, it has it all: backstory, mindfuck, the underdog raping face. Brood war at its best.

It feels like there's a lot of KT fans in here. I would chalk it up to the whole Effort/Flash thing but a lot (if not most) of them seem to like Effort. :O

KT is a pretty close second favourite team for me so now I'm wondering if there's some connection between the two that I can't think of. :/

It's a play off of his name and the fact he was the next big zerg to come out of CJ after ~~Savior~~

Good to see him coming back, with jd's recently subpar ZvZ and his largely untested ZvP i can at least hope to see effort raping face again. still hope to see jd buck up though(i dont like hydra)

Messiah indeed, if he inspires a new rivalry, BW will become stronger.

if modesty can make Ro8 and Ro4 almost solely off the strength of his ZvZ, and if n.Die_Soo can make it to the Ro4, Effort has as good a chance as anyone to make another final
