There's not much point arguing about what was the right decision. If they replayed and Flash stomped JD and then bunker rushed him to death in game 4 it would have been tainted for Flash too. In actual fact JD was the one who got shafted here, because their decision meant that he was snubbed of any hope of a legit victory. So yeah, no winners in this MSL. | ||

It's unfortunate that there was a black-out on game 3, but giving an automatic win to Jaedong was totally unfair to Flash, that game should of replayed. If Flash typed GG legitimately, I doubt the KT coach and his dad would be causing an uproar. | ||

Damn i got it now , its all about Flash. The game usually goes to the player who had advantage and everybody knows who had the edge. Was it all 'fair and square' ? Hell since when everything in this world is fair? The point is that the advantage wasn't big enough to give JD a win. | ||

If you do believe strategy is 100% of who makes a better player, look at flash vs movie on hbr. Movie does *everything* right strategically, but still loses. Strategy alone doesn't make you a great player. | ||

It isn't like Flash was going to object the decision. He's still a teenager; he wouldn't go up against people twice his age. Like I said, it's ironic. In trying to make things fair for his son, he screwed up his son's mental state, which arguably caused Flash to fuck up horribly in game 4. | ||

The same way as 3/3 MM isn't considered full tech. You know, because FULL TECH means every unit you'd expect to see in the match up. | ||

It sucks for the player who was ahead. | ||

Firstly, game 3 Kespa was the biggest mistake I've ever seen. Sure, Flash is down, and JD secured the double gas. But his bases had just been set up, and honestly, NO game is over until it's over, which is why we have something called "COMEBACKS" that happen quite a lot. Also, maybe for normal terrans it's impossible to comeback vs JD in that situation. BUT THIS IS FLASH. You can NEVER say it's over till it's over. If JD were in the same situation, I'd say the exact same thing. For both of these players, the only end is when one types "gg" or gets eliminated from the game. Second, Flash is LITERALLY A KID. GIVE THE KID A DAMN BREAK. He earns more money than any teenager around, everyone expects him to beat EVERYONE including JD and never lose, he's used like a sweat shop child worker, the power randomly goes out on his biggest match of the year, Kespa officials give the game away to JD when the game was not fully decided, his dad is forcibly removed from the premises, his teammates & coaches are absolutely pissed all around him, which probably stresses him out too... are you KIDDING ME? ~17 years old and having to deal with ALL THAT CRAP? such ignorant people around, saying JD this that, but never considering the situation of the other side. | ||
