Light is slightly better at TvZ than Flash in like forever. What makes Flash scarier is only his status. JD should be happy with Flash instead of Light for his chances to advance. Also: Flash is more scared of a confident JD than Light is.

This is really the way I see it, it could go either way this time...

Flash and Jaedong wanting to play each other is so peak ngl. They actually giving what the audience wants since they may not meet in the finals but at least they have a chance to play each other once
Flash is likely pulling up but i hope Jaedong carries his form this r16

Flash is likely pulling up but i hope Jaedong carries his form this r16 Old timers really carry the scene forward. No cowardly nonsense, I'm talking about you Soulkey & Soma. I get teary when I'm thinking of Leta and Piano and how lucky we have been to experience all Starcraft can be. You guys are the best. PS: I hope for the day someone will reinvent protoss with your no reverse gear play.

Wait, isn't soulkey also an old timer? Is this a different soulkey from Neo.G_Soulkey?

I call them out on their groupstage shenanigans. Look at flash bisu jaedong in a single group and ample making it all happen. TL;DR: there is a funny moment that is repeatedly played out one after another in humourous fashion throughout the groupstage selection ceremony. Ample knocked out soulkey and therefore he said why stop at one, I'll knock out 2 ASL champions and selected jaedong out of the blue. Bisu was in shatters, "I should have picked Leta". It was really funny how every tier 4 did the same thing. It is like they bring ladder mentality or something. Soma could only stop tulbo and hero's group of death pick by calling them out on their bluff, "Look if you pick flash, you aren't getting out of this group".

Note that last time Ample was in ASL, he knocked Bisu out in the Round of 16. Ample is known for knocking favorites out of the ASL, against all odds and expectations.

Oh yeah, it all began with ample teasing bisu, "Didn't I beat you once before?" and bisu tried to call his bluff. Ample did what he does best.

haha with all the Tesagi maps we might end up with only 3 terrans in the Ro8 (i don't see a world where Flash doesn't go out of Group C). Going to be the perfectly balanced Ro8 - 3-3-2 race distribution

I already placed my liquibets on Jaedong but i think he looking really bad for Monday. I think the FlaSh /Bisu is the most likely outcome.

ssak vs soma g3 for goty?

Jaedong's ZvP style seems too honorable. Needs to do more random hydra busts and tricky shit like Soma. Watching Protoss not have to make adjustments to Zerg trickiness allows them too much mid-game macro and their army control is so good these days that storm/goons are so efficient against Zerg.

3-4 weeks ago his form was referred 'unstoppable'.. 2 weeks ago 'JvZ' was the flavor of the week. Now his form is bad again because he's been dropping some games. You're as good as your last performance I guess.
I'd say he's in pretty solid form right now, just not as dominant. His baseline isn't perfect and he still drops games but his ability to peak is clearly present in his current form. His mindset seems in a good place as well, he just has to peak at the right moment. Taking all of that into consideration I'd say he won't make it into the Ro8 as per usual.

Taking all of that into consideration I'd say he won't make it into the Ro8 as per usual. 3-4 weeks ago, he literally went like 1 month with 75% winrate(beating light in bo7 etc), now he is like 50% tops, losing games(yes games, more than 1) to players that never played proleague etc
feels really different
