Rest done by GhostHunter (me).Today's Games Jaedong vs.  Stats on Odd-Eye Hwasin vs. Kal on Odd-EyeLight vs. Kwanro on Match PointBeSt vs. Flash on Fighting Spirit+ Show Spoiler ++ Show Spoiler ++ Show Spoiler +I'm experimenting with something new, and posted this poll after the last game was done, thus you can get the input from the community My comments will be as follows: Set 2 was the longest and most macro game, it was aight, though one player did not play particularly well in the grand scheme. Set 3 was my personal most interesting game of the night, it is very short, and in my opinion worth a (quick) watch. Set 4 was pretty good, I'd suggest it over game two definitely. Poll: Game of the Night?( Vote): Jaedong vs Stats ( Vote): Hwasin vs Kal ( Vote): Light vs Kwanro ( Vote): BeSt vs Flash 1. Channel: MBC 2. http://mbc.ferron.pe/3.http://www.teamliquid.net/video/mbc 3. Post your stream and I will add it here! Throwing these on the bottom for this round. When we go to BO, I won't feel like they crowd too much.

TheZerg isn't Light yo ....

I'm looking forward to Flash vs. BeSt, to see Flash play a good PvT'er and how he plays on his weakest (somehow, even with 66%) matchup.
Hwasin vs. Kal should be pretty good too, team-kill games are always pretty fun.
|
LOL, first thing I noticed was that Light's picture was TheZerg instead :[

It reminds me the last season, when Jaedong advanced to semi-finals of both leagues and lost to Calm. Flash will play against Calm on the 1st of January. I will lol, if Calm manage again to win the league because of the overburdened schedule of his main opponent.
Not much love for Calm, huh? Flash said in his interview he's putting all his effort into the OSL semifinal match with Calm, so you can rest your pretty head about it. And KT has a real team, unlike Oz, so they don't need Flash to do everything. If Flash loses to Best or Calm, it'll be because his opponents outplayed him.

I agree with what you're saying, however to me it's more likely that Flash will slip up and mess up his TvP than his TvZ. His TvZ is beast as hell with his macro medic marine control that just dominates. If he focuses, he should crush the remainder of the OSL most likely.
We shall see if there's a chip in his very strong armor. He'll be an interesting player to watch through this to say the least.

Flash must win so Jaedong can smack his ass in the finals :D
Revenge time~!

In Flash's latest interview he said:
"Because I always have a next time for the MSL, I can prepare for that comfortably. My focus will be on the OSL ro4."
I really hope he beats BeSt; I want him to win the MSL and OSL.
BeSt is definitely spending all his time practicing for his match against Flash so it's quite possible he could kill the Ultimate Weapon, but my liquibet is still on Flash.
|
If cross positions = BeSt probably wins
If not cross positions = Flash probably wins
|
According to TLPD Flash is 0-3 vs Best. This is going to be very exciting!
|
Hey guys, stop giving Best and Clam props... you'll jinx everything!
I'd stop worrying, I mean think about it. We're talking about Flash here. Flash. He can hold it all together, especially given that he atm is not only in the best shape he's ever been in, but the best shape anyone's ever been in. Just check the ELO-Ranking.
Imo:
Flash>Best
Flash>Clam
|
Best, crush Flash....
if it's cross positions, there's no way flash will beat best with his invincible 2 base arb build..>
|
Would be hilarious if Calm win MSL again.

what? how is that possible? Unless kwanro goes around killing all the other top 8, and then goes to MBC begging to have a rematch with calm.. that's the only way I can see Calm winning this MSL
