Jaedong vs Light I don't know much about current bw anymore, but back in the ol' days, Light had a good record against Jaedong (11-12) but fell short in all BoX series they played. This is forever ago, but back then the feeling was that Light simply does not have it in the highest pressure moments. Given that Jaedongs death stare is back, I think he will beat him. Flash vs Snow Snow probably has the best shot out of everyone to take down Flash, but I cannot see it happening. Flash is just so solid and if he deals with the inevitable Reaver harass well enough in 3 out of 5 games, he should outlast Snow. I think Bo5 is very good for the Ro8 and I probably prefer that format in Brood War. Bo5s are just extremely exciting. Statistically a Bo7 basically makes sure that the better player (read: the better player on that day) wins in nearly all case. Comebacks in Bo7s are extremely rare. When it happens, it is something everyone remembers for a very long time, but for me that is not worth the trade-off for the excitment Bo5s bring. Bo9 does not add significantly to the better player advancing. I did the math a decade ago, maybe I am wrong. But watching a Bo9 is just a drag anyway and it loses its appeal very fast. Regarding the Ro16 Group C. As a livelong Jaedong fan I obviously enjoyed what I saw. It also felt like very decent BroodWar was played compared to the golden era (~2007-2011). What gives me hope is that I haven't seen Jaedong this focussed since 2009. His demeanor during the matches was so old school and why I fell in love with his play before I knew he was one of the best players of his time. On the other side, I feel a Bo7 TvZ against Flash is basically impossible to win nowadays, Flashs play is just so dominant. I am 90% sure we will see the match, it feels like destiny that Snow and Light will lose in the Ro8. That was a quick tour through my recent thoughts. | ||
