Iris was pretty 'on' at that point, and Flash hadn't turned on God Mode quite yet. I don't think Iris is better than Light, but I think there's a larger skill gap between Light and current Flash than there was between GOM Iris and Flash.

If your referring to ranks, Kespa never sanctioned GOM Starleagues.

AFAIK, the series are BO5, which generally implies that the better player will win.

So I think it's going to be JD vs Kal, and Flash vs Light in the semis, and then JD vs Flash in the finals. It's going to be epic.

i think Kwanro will beat Light.

classy man Zero
Like his mentor GGplay, Zero is really carrying the Gentleman image

Zero: Whoever gets to RO8
Zero: Promise that we won't drop the league
Zero: >.< ...
Flash: keke
Flash: keke
Flash: Okay promise

Aha, that's cute...it that common among progamers? Flash seems to make a lot of these promises with people.

I remember type-b told him in pre-game chat in their OSL match that if Flash eliminated him, he wanted Flash to promise him that he'd win the league.

And then Stork and Flash made that "whoever loses between us has to 3-0 the group and make it a clean sweep" promise (which Stork ended up keeping, what a baller).

I just looked at Flashs schedule for the next days:

30th: PL vs (Z)

s2
31st: MSL vs (P)

Best (game 1 only)
1. OSL vs (Z)

Calm (Bo5)
7th MSL vs (P)

Best (game 2-5)

Plus additional PL games.

If this is correct, I think we can all expect Flash to be fairly unprepared for his game1 against Best. I expect a game shortening strat from Flash (avoinding cheese here on purpose

).
Then he will have enough time to start practicing against Toss during the first week of January.

But: Best you better be prepared for a 2 Fac opening or some proxy Vultures from Flash in game 1!

Jaedong is the heavy fav to come out of his side of the bracket. He will destroy stats considering how godly his ZvP is atm (poor stats), and kal will likely beat Hwasin (creating another ZvP for JD to stomp in). Even if Hwasin wins over Kal, it's a bo5 against JD, and JD is always the fav in that.

The real drama is in the other bracket with Best v Flash. If Flash beats Best, we are almost assured a Flash v JD final in a bo5. If Best wins, he will be a fav to move on but could always trip up to someone like Kwanro since he sucks at PvZ. If best does make the finals, he WILL get crushed by JD. Light is in trouble. I don't see how he can advance since if he does win over Kwanro he has to play either Flash or Best... neither of which I give him a chance against.

Basically, we have a chance for epicness (Jd v Flash bo5) or failure (Jd v Kwanro or Best). Lets hope the former happens. And to everyone who already gives Flash the win, JD is a different beast in bo5s (ask Fantasy), and flash will most likely be in the OSL too so he will have to do double the work while JD focuses only on the MSL.

The last time JD had a BO5 with someone of Flash's caliber was.... when?
