LOL at everyone who's so enraged??! I'm not a fan of either players so I'm not too bothered. It was OBVIOUSLY the thing to do when you're up a game and have the liberty to "throw a game away by taking a gamble."

Sorry for the people who got their xmas ruined, but the best is still to come... xp

Why Flash's strategy was cheese:
If Jaedong built some pool first build order to prevent Flash from bunker rushing, Flash would be wayyyy behind economically

@ Jaedong fans:

8 rax isn't cheese. It wasn't even that much of a proxy, just a forward rax outside the normal ovie scouting pattern. Plus, Jaedong scouted it anyways, he should have reacted better. Flash played better and that's why he won.

Jaedong scouted the fucking marine that killed the overlord. Not the fucking cheese, and yes this is a fucking cheese. I'm not even a jaedong fan and i'm disappointed.


Cheese implies that the player doing it would be dead/nearly dead if it failed. Please explain how Flash would have been dead/nearly dead if JD saw the rax and held off the rush?

Non stop Marine production (which implies little SCV production), sent all Marines to JD's base, sent 4 SCVs to JD's base, no logical continuation from Flash (if he put up a factory, then it'd be a different story).

It was a full on cheese.


As much as I like you for streaming thats just wrong. Flash killed the overlord and knew he was ahead and the rush would work, if it by any chance would not have worked, he would stop marine production and send the scvs back and still have an advantage..

No offense to JD fans but if JD had won the first game he wouldn't be in a position where he could lose to a single bunker rush :/. Blame his bad play in the first game, not the cheese in the second. When you're up 1-0 in a Bo3, why not cheese and go for the kill? Especially when you haven't bunker rushed in an important game in like 2 years.... -_-

Flash hasn't cheesed in like 20 games, ridiculous how many people are hating on him instead of JD for not scouting with a drone or cancelling his hatch. there was NO WAY he could defend this with a dead overlord

Flash hasn't played many players better than him in a while so there was no need to cheese. He seems to like cheesing better players...

that's just bullshit. he has played plenty, plenty of very good players. he hasn't cheesed in...as long as i can remember?

i predicted a flash win either way, based on the brutal raping he gave to JAEDONG. he's even more dangerous now that zergs are reminded flash can do things other than FE opening.


He got the point. He hasn't played many players better than him because there are none at the moment

Well I guess this match shows who is smarter, and the answer is clearly flash.

Are people seriously arguing that a proxy 8 rax, followed by a bunker with pulled SCVs is not cheese?

Am i the only one who actually counted when the observers showed Flash's mieralilines and pointed out every single one of those 6 scvs?

all 6 of those scvs + the one building + the one on the barracks

Yeah I was about to say. lol

This is very reminiscent of when Flash won the OSL vs Stork after beating stork 3-2 in GSI finals. Stork was preparing for late game and counters to the Flash build, and Flash 3-0ed him with three under 15 min games. Very similar tactic here. First game heavy macro/ mass aggression, followed by totally unexpected cheese. GREAT mindgame and nice to see flash back in the mindgames.

This is exactly what Flash needs to win individual league.

He can't just stick to one tactic, however solid it is. Because being predictable puts him into a disadvantage before the game even starts. Especially when he faces tough opponents (like Jaedong), keep playing standard like his previous 10 games is no different to saying "Hey this is what I'm gonna do, try to beat it" to someone who is equal to his level of skills.

You guys may be disappointed because he did not deliver a 1-hour TvZ epicness. But you have to understand that he is playing to win the OSL as well, not just to satisfy his fans. And winning the OSL would definitely make more fans happy than playing an awesome game then losing the whole tournament.

yes, because everyone was really hyped to see two top players play a 10 min game with tier 1 units

That game was garbage, I don't understand how anyone can be happy with those games. This was FlaSh vs fucking Jaedong; not two random gosu's but the two best players in the entire world and it was ended in bullshit cheese. Anyone who thinks this was a good result is an idiot, this is not what JD vs FlaSh should be, you've been robbed. The possibility of an amazing series was dangled in front of you and instead you got this steamy mound; if this really was satisfying for you, you're missing the point of FlaSh vs Jaedong
I think you're too blinded by fanboyism to appreciate what actually went on here today.
