ye, i forgot about that one. since you can wall its easily done. but i'd rather see a 14 cc and then block with 1 suply 1rax. something special. we didn't see anything new or special from flash this series. he hadn't prepared something special in any game imo.

he did seem to have adapted pretty got to the zerostrat in the first game though since he placed his cc on the spot and didnt make a bunker early on. i just cant understand why he didnt have turrets in his main. the only reason i could think of after speaking to haypro about it was that he might have placed the factory superearly because he though he was way ahead after getting those 2 initial mutakills.

well, mb its because he thought that he could beat JD with solid play. And a 14cc build is risky, coz JD loves his 9pool.

yeah thats probably it. Would have been nice to see him prepare something special since it was Jaedong. Jaedong had prepared special build from every game.
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

I was sort of disappointed, Flash just didn't seem like himself during game four. It felt rather sad hearing the MSL commentators try to make it seem the gg Flash typed during game four a big hype, but it felt so shallow.

Yeah, very disappointed here. I feel so robbed, the win just seems so hollow. Flash definitely seemed off in game 4, although I might just be bias because I wanted Flash to win.

Someone tell me I'm not crazy when I think Flash's play was off game 4.

Let it go, just let's make sure we have some uninterruptible power supplies for the players next finals. =)

Just out of curiosity, why don't they have backup power supplies for the computers for cases like this? I mean, they aren't expensive and stuff. I have my computer hooked up to a UPS right now so I don't lose anything if the power goes out.

Not a fake smile, he's just laughing at how much the organisation sucks. Power failing, seriously? This is so scripted..

Why should Flash fake his smile?

He got outplayed by the world's greatest Bo5 player and his friend, Jaedong. But he still took KT to the top of PL rankings, got OSL gold and MSL silver. I am pretty sure hes satisfied with his results this season.

Jaedong is not the current best player, Flash is. Historically JD is ahead, but during the span of this season, Flash has been No 1.

Just finished watching it ...

I feel like all the antecipation and hype for before the series resulted only in extreme frustration.

I expected to see an epic series of games, and instead what ive seen is an epic catastrophe organization wise.

We all know how your mental status is important in BW, when the power went out, there was no more flash.

Ok, I guess I can agree with that statement. I wouldn't even mind if you simply called Jaedong ''the best player of all time''. I just don't want to see this final bring any discredit to Flash's magnificence this season.

I wasnt trying to, I just explained Flash had no reason to be sad or fake a smile.

Flash's smile at the end felt really genuine to me. I think it helps a lot here that he's good friends with Jaedong.

If kespa were smart enough they would have continued the rounds without giving out their decision so that they would not cause any so called "psychological advantage". This would have kept the two players concentration at the point it should have been until the end and even if the decision would have been unfair, I'm sure the matches would have developed on another pattern. Anyway, it would have been at least decent do to so ...
