I am so sick of hearing that flash was "mentally off" in game 4. These guys prepare their strats in practice the week before. Regardless of his mindset, an overpool against 7 rax gave jaedong the advantage which he never surrendered. I am a flash fan, and JD looked like the superior player in every game of the series. If it weren't for some excellent dropship play in game 2, JD would have won 3-0. Power outage or no power outage. | ||

How about you go to a tournament, and have anyone rooting for you taken away by security or leave, etc etc, and see how it affects you. | ||

I am so tired of retarded idiots like you thinking that the entire incident should have no effect on a 17-year old kid. It's as clear as day that Flash played like absolute shit that game as a direct result of the prior events. | ||

After having been a professional player for years and even won championships? It certainly wouldn't affect me much. | ||

Or at least i felt 90 percent certainty. The build i think was preplanned and that is all there is to it | ||

He likely had that strat prepared from the start, and considering what JD went, it likely would of been a beatdown either way. | ||

Attempt that ridiculous sunken break? Everybody makes mistakes even jaedong/flash. Even if that outage hadn't happened and he did what he did it probably would have happened if he planned it like that. But you will never know nor will I no point in even arguing about that. | ||

Seriously, the Ro8 OSL LR thread is literally one of the most shameful threads I have ever read on the internet and makes the whole community look retarded.

I watch tennis and generally the people are generally pretty good to talk with besides the occasional whinge about Nadal's (or really any mainly clay court player) play style and so forth. I figure its because the people who post such complaints aren't filled to the brim with impotent nerdrage that such criticism about a player's playstyle isn't frustrating to read. | ||

I love korean commentators & fans, yet i am confused to what they say haha What is the countdown korean fans shout right before a game? and I always hear the commentators going "mmyeh" or something like that.. i always get a kick out of it. I think they are just agreeing with eachother? | ||

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 ... wat | ||

The only thing I thought was ridiculous was KT throwing a bitch-fit -- I can understand his Dad being angry... Anyways. Jaedong played downright amazingly. I really thought he had game 2 as well. Honestly, I think Flash was just too worn out to beat one of the best players of all time. The tournament was always in Jaedong's favor. The power outage was just unnecessary drama. The results would have been the same either way even if the way they got there had been slightly different. | ||
