Dude....
JD looked so miserable throughout the game. Flash is so freaking ridiculous...
How is Flash able to deny the 3rd so well in TvZ nowadays?
It just shows how unprepared JD was for unexpected turn of events. It looked like he was stuck trying to grab his 3rd over and over again with Flash denying it every single time. What he should do (even after initial muta fail) is to go into some 2-base play to secure his position just a bit (get lurkers earlier), kill the roaming marine force and then switch back to 3-base.
JD train of thought: 1. try to establish 3rd 2. fail 3. pointlessly suicide your army into enemy main while he has small force roaming outside 4. goto #1
I agree JD didn't play at his full and made some silly mistakes. I'm not saying had he been at 100% shape he would've beaten current Flash, but at least it would've been draught to a +30min hardcore game, not a one sided rape.

I said this long ago. Flash will show up better prepared than JD and just skate right over him.
People are missing the fact that Jaedong's "backstab", even though it cost him his units, still had a point to it. It successfully drew Flash's army back, so that Jaedong could cover the far side of Flash's bridge with lurkers. I think JD was doing that to give himself some breathing room. It was a desperate move but not a pointless one IMO.
I <3 that picture of Flash and rA. Flash looks so happy and rA looks so proud. KTF Magicns!!! :D
Edit: I wouldn't mind seeing Shine beat Stork, partly because I'm his new fan (Stork fan too though), and partly because I want Flash to win this OSL Casy-style through straight-up TvZ dominance.

I definitely noticed that. Too bad Flash had too many tanks for the lurkers to matter.
Well that game sucked; I think sets two and three are going to be a lot more interesting. Jaedong played a bad game, it happens. He lost the first set, he does that from time to time. Then he says he'll practice harder and he evidently practices like a mad man because he always come back ready to rock face. If FlaSh rapes him in set two the way he did in set one I'll start to worry.
I don't think it's that easy to just "kill the roaming M&M force". I mean, if it was that easy would Flash be using this build? He's using indicators of everything from army count to Sunken count to Drone count to decide whether or not he can roam.
Also, Flash seems to always have a good idea of where his opponent's army is, even if he can't see it. And when he's not sure or feels he needs the protection he builds an extra bunker (which hurt JD's backstab a lot).
Same thing that happened in Calm vs Fantasy right? I overlord that your arnt supposed to lose dies, so all of your timings get fucked up and its a snowball effect that screws you over.

No no, JD didn't lose that overlord, it lived. This happened much, much earlier. Flash also didn't do it before his match with HyuN started, which may have been the deciding factor in his loss there.
