flash so mannered. here's a parahrase of what he said:

i wanted to show a good form to my fans but i wasn't able to do it... i feel it was partly due to my skill level not being high enough. i want to congratulate jaedong for his win and i will do better for my fans next time.

at least that's what i remember. better translations will come i'm sure very soon

What an eventful nail in the coffin of sc1 progaming.
Thanks MBC+kespa for robbing us of a Bonjwa

Excellent play by Jaedong all night, he impresses me once again. He is a true champion regardless of everything else and showed it tonight.

imo both players were robbed.

But there was really no right way of handling the game 3 fiasco short of rescheduling the finals to allow both players to come back fresh and with new game plans.

I hardly doubt that this was any promotion for MSL, or Nate.

This MSL final has made me mad. I agree. The games though... I mean, they could have replayed the 3rd game. KT's staff could have made less of a fuss and let the players stay in the groove for the 4th game. There are things they could have done better, but the games seemed pretty legit, and the winner really won.

I think the fans made too much of a fuss. Particularly related to the waits. After the huge fiasco, the players obviously needed to warm up again and get prepared to play. MBC clearly wanted to hype this really hard, both because the matchup deserves it, and because MBC needs the exposure and hype. It was distracting, how the strange venue worked out, and the stupid power issue, but we have known about the former for the past week and the latter didn't honestly have much of an impact.

I thought it was a really good MSL, partially because of how goofy it was, but mostly because of the sick games we just witnessed.

I watched almost every single OSL/MSL finals and this is even worse than Sync's win

The curse of NATE i suppose ....

MBC better get their shit together or might as well give up hosting this tournament ....

Guys. I'm 120,000% sure it's the replay. It says so right on the screen.

notice one thing that i REALLY like:

flash and jaedong seem unhappy about all of this
but they're still smiling when they shake hands or talk to each other.
at least they respect each other even if nobody else does

Jeadong was not winning ?
But since everyone seems to think so I'll leave it at that..

Jeadony was slightly leading..
thats it..

Are you still basing it off the VOD they reshowed? You realize that cuts before the blackout right? IdrA says so but you know more.

I really hope you get banned for this, nut just for 2 days. You are just non-stop unbelievable.

I just can't take all this fake smiling and acting as if nothing happened shit. At least someone in there should be a man about it and tell the truth about how awful these finals were. My rage is misplaced by insulting Jaedong, that's true. But I just can't take how he's standing there, LOOKING UNHAPPY and not say anything about the last 2 games...

Jaedong won. Woot. Feels like a 2set PL win with extra confetti.

Did you see how discombobulated Flash's play seemed in set 4? No question this shit ruined the finals. I wonder what MBC commentators and Execs and KeSPA people are saying in private, off the record. Fucking stupid.

This is a serious question, is there a better followup when you go 8 rax against 9 pool?

JD strategically dismantled Flash today. The controversial game aside, JD was always 1 step ahead and penetrated Flash's turtling. But no, the 2 losses never happened because Flash is the best!!!!

Flash and Jaedong Finals was too epic for the Korean electrical supply to handle.

We love you forever Flash! Here's to hoping they meet up in the next """"OSL""" finals
