815 and Violet got their best matchup. As for forgg, I think they're trying to get him in shape so that Flash can have a rest coming up with some heavy games. | ||

Jaedong never actually had a very long, uninterrupted ZvZ streak. He just went on several 7, 8, or 9 game winning streaks before dropping one, then continuing with another small streak. But I think it's not a stretch to say that Flash may very well have the most dominant match up of all time. Jaedong's long time consistency until recently was mind blowing, but +20 games in a row? And given the quality of the games it's not like other terrans are bad at TvT (Like was the case until recently with most zergs). He's just on such a different level. | ||

Well TvT is much easier to get a streak at than ZvZ too. In ZvZ one error means you lose the whole game. In TvT comebacks are possible and not rare at all. | ||

It gives the other players more confidence and helps towards building an even stronger team. Also, if these players can play consistently, then Flash may have a match or two off for rest while the team will still be competitive. 815 and forgg are old, sending them out hardly justifies towards building an even stronger team. If KT wants to experiment, send out Stats and one of their younger terrans. | ||

I understand that they are old, but I've always felt that veteran players are like the glue of a team while the youngsters are the dynamic breaths of fresh air. Keeping the veterans sharp will always help the atmosphere of the team. Developing younger players is always a good idea as it makes your team deeper, but having in-form veterans can have the same effect just not for the long term. | ||

Flash was going to kill Mind for sure, but the rest of it showed there was a very possible 3-1 coming. First off, Shine is very good at ZvZ and definitely should be favored against 815. If you've bothered to watch Shine's ZvZ, you'll know that besides his good results the quality of his ZvZ is excellent. Roro should easily be favored against a terrible player like ForGG who hasn't shown us anything meaningful for months. Violet is probably slightly favored over Pure, but as long as Wemade got that matchup they could feel pretty good about their chances at a 3-1. | ||

815 was 9-1 in his last 10 against zergs including wins over Shine and Jaedong. He's always been an excellent ZvZer. Violet is a major favorite over Pure. He was 11-2 in his last PvP, including 2 wins over Pure and a win over Bisu in his best matchup. Violet has a 68% in PvP, with only 48% for Pure. There's no "slight" favorite here; Violet is a thousand times better at PvP (among other things), but games don't always go to the favorite. Forgg isn't the same player he used to be, but Roro never has been (Forgg as bad as he's been, still has a higher ELO). They're both mediocre players these days; there's no favorite anymore. | ||

Flash does such a good job being KT's anchor, though. They never have to suffer humiliating 0-3 defeats, so they can always think "Hey, if we could have just won ONE more game, we could have cleaned up in ace". And in the rare instances Flash does drop his game, it seems to send his teammates into revenge rape-mode and they pull through for him. | ||

Flash has taken down just about every single big terran and seemingly with ease. Seriously, as long as he doesn't go for 14cc there doesn't seem to be an answer to his game. I bet a 5 pooling zerg that does not get scouted right away will beat flash hands down. | ||
