Flash vs. Kal would be a good finals normally but the fact that there is already a TvP OSL and we'd be so close to Jaedong vs. Flash finals, Flash vs. Kal just wouldn't feel right for me.

This was the worst semi-final ever :S. Can't understand that u guys are talking about "great" mind games. It was rather one guy beeing more stupid than the other, like seeing a 12 year old beat a 6 year old in chess :p. "Oh if i do something stupid maybe he will respond with something even worse....heeey!"

can you ip-ban by country?

it's better for OGN games because I think they have a direct stream with livecast themselves.


Come on man you can't just ban people because of the country they come from. This site should be supporting the growth of e-sports in China not hindering it

funny, Flash doing his interview assuming Jaedong would be his opponent in his finals, and he realized towards the end Jaedong has to play Kal first -_-


omg if kal was watching that lol


I thought Kal and Flash were close friends lol

Maybe this is Flash's way of doing an inside joke here, needling Kal for having to play the Beast. Although Flash and Jaedong are kind of close too. Seems a lot of the top players have mutual respect for one another and tend to hate the same people (e.g. go.go) or not have respect for posers like Kwanro.

To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if, after the MSL Finals, Flash takes Jaedong, Kal, Bisu, Stork all out for galbi and booze or something. (But no Kwanro though, did you see how little respect Flash held for him lol)





- You are facing Kwanro in the Semi-Finals.
▲ Kwanro is well-mannered and really kind. Not a lot of people know this, but I really like him as a player (laugh). I think it will be more fun to play him than playing other players. Kwanro is a very good player, and I will just have to prepare even harder.



Unless he was being sarcastic...
Favorite progamers (in order): Flash, Stork, Violet, Sea. ||| Get better soon, Violet!

Kal and Flash ARE close friends. Same clan, By.Goojila and By.Flash if I remember correctly.

I wouldn't say its that bad... it wasn't like strategic genius, but it was entertaining. The guardian build that Kwanro tried twice was lame though, so I'll agree on that.

But when they flood and overload servers, it's hindering everyone's ability to watch the games.

But yes, there's nothing we can do about it. So we just have to make do with what we have.

pretty sure no one is saying any of these games were good/had good mind games. it was cute to watch game two and three, but that's about it.

I can't believe Kwanro went guardians again! I was sitting on ventrilo with a friend of mine and we were both screaming: "don't do it, Kwanro!" He actually did a fairly good job with keeping Flash in his base with the mutas. He should IMO have transitioned to lurkers followed up later by cracklings/defilers instead, when it was so obvious guardians would fail.


well he took 6 o clock and the only way to defend that was with guardians. had he taken 12 though it would've been possible. at any rate he already invested on mutas had he switched when he saw those ports flash would've just taken the opportunity to destroy 6 o clock during the lull.

have you seen him take out lurks with incredible ease?

If Kal does end up beating Jaedong I think he'd win a Bo5 vs flash right now. Movie won't win vs flash but kal is on another level.

When Flash first moved out with his MnM, he headed straight for 12 and then scanned 10, so taking 12 into of 6 would've hurt Kwanro.

If you look at flash's round of 8 interview he was exreamly good mannered towards kwanro, he said that hes a very good player and is fun to play against


You're right. Flash probably has a decent amount of respect for Kwanro as a progamer but not really in-game, and especially not during this series lol (just look at his BO choice).

Dammit now all I can think about is Flash, Jaedong, Bisu, and Stork having galbi together with the OSL and MSL trophies on the table... I'd easily pay 1g to join them for that lol

I thought that what livestream did was take the video you're uploading to it and stream it to everyone else. If that is the case, how would more people connecting to your livestream affect the load on the mbc server? Unless I'm totally wrong on how it works..

but flash probably prepared for the kwanro series with a vs. jaedong final in mind, making sure he didn't reveal too many builds, etc. he probably thought so much about it that it slipped his mind that yes, jd and kal had to play first haha

You are correct on how it works, but you fail to notice that they're also infesting the direct MBC streams as well, causing that to crash.
