He doesn't. His PvZ just isn't on the level of his PvT or even his PvP right now, so playing against the best ZvP player in the world is going to be hard.
Plus he always has trouble with his nerves

Give him some more time before writing him off

I feel bad for Stats. He looked really nervous and down after the loss.

Hopefully he doesn't slump.

Either way, Jd vs Kal should be an ok series. I still expect JD to win 3-1, if not 3-0.

I think I'd give about 4:1 for it being anything other than Flash vs Jaedong finals. Jaedong having a decent amount of prep time for games is incredibly scary, and I'll be surprised if he doesn't take the MSL as a result.

We'll have to see how Flash holds up under his upcoming intense practice schedule. He's already not scheduled to play in one of KT's matches this week.

Semi's are looking excellent now, kwanro's slot could have been better but oh well. At least his games are not standart.

commentators: 3-0 you are in the semifinals! congrats! how do you feel?
jaedong: yes.. i feel better than i thought i would. though i haven't reached the finals, last time i reached the semifinals, and this time i will pass the semifinals and reach the finals to win.
commentators: last time you said you wanted to get revenge. did you know you had a 10 streak win against protoss recently?
jaedong: i knew i was doing well against protoss so i came here knowing i would win.
commentators: you will be playing kal. a lot of people are heavily anticipating a finals with you and flash! you've been winning against everyone but only lost to flash. are you looking forward to that?
jaedong: well, once i get to the finals and play flash, i think that would be a grand finals match i'd be honored to play in. i am also in debt so i think this is a good opportunity for me. so in this finals, i will make sure to play flash and have a great revenge.
commentators: well in order to achieve that, he must first beat kal. well no matter woh he plays in the finals, reaching the finalsi n itself is a huge feat! last words?
jaedong: i have played him before and won, and i'm winning head to heads but i will make sure not to lose focus, and in order to repay the fact that i lost last time in ro4, i will make sure it doesn't happen again this time.
commentators: happy birthday jaedong!

JD Interview translation from abascus in my channel. Huge props to him, and I claim absolutely no credit:

JD:I havent won yet, but last time i got to semifinals. This time I want to win the MSL
Q: Kal said he wants to beat you in the finals. Did you know you have 12 straight wins against protoss?
JD: I came prepared. I was playing to win. I want to set records as well
Q: Kal is also protoss. The stage is set for record setting. Many people are waiting for JD vs Flash. Are you ready for it?
JD: Yea. I want to get to the finals against Flash. I have debt against Flash. This is a good opportunity for me. I want to get my revenge
Q: FIrst you have to get past Kal. The situation is dramatic between Jaedong and Flash. The best player will win
JD: I've fought Kal many times. I will not underestimate him. My goal is to win MSL. I'm not going be eliminated in the semi-finals
