As a rapid JD-Fanboy, I have no problem with Flashs play at all. It was very well executed and thought through. And JD maybe could have responded in a better way.
But I don't get how some people like Plexa here are implying, that JD would not have had a chance in a straight up game. It's like they learned nothing from the last two years of pro-SC.
It's like he put it himself - blind fanboyism.

I don't know what everyone is mad about, as a Flash fan I'm happy. The only thing I was disappointed about is that Flash didn't completely demolish JD's bases.
Some of us were looking forward to an epic game! Not a 5m bunker rush.

Flash owns the shit out of Jaedong, nice to see.
sry Jaedong you cant just always 12 hatch 'because Flash going early CC'.
Cry fanboys cry. The fanboy hate at the WINNER is the best xmas gift of all.

I cannot come to terms with how Flash wanted to be respected like Jaedong is, and still did a cheesy build. He wanted to be seen as his rival, and a legitimate victory tonight would have earned him the coveted title of JD's rival. I can't believe Flash fan's enjoyed that. I can't see him gaining any respect in the eyes of fans for that. It was nothing but a massive disappointment.
EDIT: Even if I weren't a Calm fan I would be pulling for him to smash Flash in the semis because of the shit we have just witnessed. Tell me. Would you rather watch game 1 again, but on HBR? or the game we just witnessed? I like Flash but I'm by no means a fanboy. I always like good and long games and I would prefer a 1 hour TvZ on HBR with Jaedong winning and a third game with Flash winning, but still, this is how it played out. Also try to pull of a bunkerrush against a caliber like Jaedong, then you will know why its respetable :-)! I don't seriously consider Jaedong's ZvT any match for Flash's TvZ at the moment. Zero's ZvT looks so much better at the moment - and it showed in Flash vs Zero. Of course I would prefer a 1 hour long amazing game between the two - but with the way Jaedong looks at the moment that just was never going to happen. To the people saying you can't say the games will turn out the same - well every Flash TvZ in the past month has looked almost identical (barring the game against hyun). Flash would have dominated Jaedong no matter what build he used, I'm just glad he used this cheese since its made for one hell of a hilarious thread.

Boxer is torn somewhere.
He loves that first game b/c it's a bunker rush beating a zerg.
He hates it because it's shit like this that makes casual fans leave the game.

I don't find this thread hilarious. I find it irritating and pathetic

He already placed the 12 hat . Even if he cancel it the timing of the pool will be so bad that Jaedong will be behind either way probably playing 1 base .

It was really disappointing, i was hoping for an epic game and it ended with a cheese..
I'm partially a jaedong fan, but it's really disappointing when u expect a long match to turn out so short..

tbh I think boxer's most famous and exciting game is a bunker rush (v yellow in finals)

This is JD's fault afterall. He completely got raped in the 1st match which gives flash more flexibility on what kinda build to use. And he went for the risky one which worked in favour

And i'm pretty sure jaedong threw up the pool before he scouted the marine.
