Flash's TvZ is perfect in every way atm.
haha yeah, I was watching it just now and was going "wtf lol where did that entire army come from? And wtf, Flash's supply is like 2.5x more than type-b's HAHAHAHHA"
Then I lol'd as type-b's dozen +4 armor ultras MELTED.
I honestly think that Jaedong has like, only 15% chance of taking down Flash in the Ro8.
Go Zero! Everyone seems to be predicting an easy finals spot for Stork on his side of the bracket... I personally am hoping for an intense Zero/Flash finals!
Will be an awesome revenge chance for Flash after Zero knocks him out of MSL : - )

But at this point Id rather have JD 3-0ing Zero/Stork in the finals for 3 back to back OSLs
Either this, or Stork winning his second OSL in an epic rematch against flash. The way flash has been playing lately though.... I'd say he's the favourite here. On the other hand, his TvZ hasn't TRULY been tested yet. I think Effort, yarnc and possibly calm/zero could give him some trouble in a BOX. And then there's Jaedong. Still... I would give flash the 5-10% advantage against JD.
P.S. When will they stop dividing the BoX matches on different days? It takes away so much of the suspense, let alone the mind games that's inhereint when you play 3-5 games in a row.

ROFL you kidding? Tbh, when it comes down to those two playing, its just soo much psychology that even if you'd count Flash as beeing the bigger monster of the two atm, it's way too much of a coinflip.
As an enormous Flash fanboy, saying that Jaedong only has a 15% chance to take him down is beyond nuts. Flash is probably the favorite, but it's not by a lot.
Also, what's this crap about Flash's TvZ streak being 'untested?' It includes Effort x2 and Yarnc, both of whom have ZvT rivaling Jaedong's, and the rest of the zergs on that list aren't slouches either. I'd say that an in-form Yarnc has superior ZvT to Jaedong, although that's certainly debatable. It's only 'untested' in the sense that he hasn't pitted it against Jaedong, and that matchup isn't just about Flash's TvZ or even Jaedong's ZvT but their history and ability to play against the other best player in the world.
I agree with Flash being the slight favorite over JD at the moment. Still, I'd much rather see a Stork JD final than a Stork Flash final- but that's just me. Anyway Jaedong might still turn on superangermode and wreck flash with everyone disbelieving their eyes, you never know.

15%? Omg, you're discrediting JD too much imo..
Kyuki, I'm with you.. 15%... that's indeed RIDICULOUS!!!
Once again... Flash has never played with a ZERG player lately that has JD's ZvT ability IMHO.....
50/50 I will say....... Wtf is 15%? LMAO!
PS: as Kyuki said, it's just so much psychology as Flash is more "afraid" of JD because of the previous results... No one knows what will happen...
Flash/JD already? Ugh! This is pretty much a coinflip. I just the hope that the winner of this faces Stork in the finals. There are just too many pitfalls along the way however.
Flash's TvZ is undoubtedly the best in the business right now, but the fact remains that no other zerg even comes close to Jaedong when it comes to ZvT abuse.
I'm hoping that we get long and epic games, but judging from how well these two have been playing the matchup, it's more than likely that we'll get a series of one-sided rapes stemming from the most minor oversights. We're talking one less drone/SCV and it's finished.
50/50 imo, but it doesn't mean that the series will be close.
btw did anyone see flashs upgrades when he fought those 8 or 9 ultras with 1/4 upgrades? he lost like ten of his 60ish marines there, also what hasn't been mentioned before is his sick d-matrixing of 3-4 marines in the front instead of irradiating the ultras. soo good. I'm still afraid of him losing to JD tho. 50/50 chance imo
The way Flash has been playing I have to give a slight advantage to Flash. I'd say 60% for Flash as Jaedong has yet to really impress me in a game this season vs. terran.
Anyone who isn't rooting for Flash to win should go jump off a cliff. >:[
For once in his whole career since Bacchus his team is decent enough for him to really showcase his talents in individual leagues. The guy is SO good and it's finally time for him to showcase WHY people say he's Jaedong's rival.
Let Jaedong win the MSL or something, Flash for Golden Mouse!

This isn't bias or anything.
We can just as easily say JD for plat mouse... and that is a lot closer to reality.
One guy's been rolling around in hell all season beat down all Z comers, the other has barely played 3 games vT. Even if both have the same skill it's not hard to see whose skill is sharper at this point.
2-0 in a BO3, 3-0/3-1 in a BO5 I'd say. Yea I love both, it just is what it is.
