Flash is my favorite player, and I'm a huge Effort (and CJ) fan, so I watch almost every game by both players. I can understand why people thought this game was a big deal but they shouldn't have, and here's why:
1. A lot of people thought Effort fluked his way into the OSL finals, in part because of the tiebreakers. Maybe he should have lost the tiebreaker but the fact of the matter is he's been playing great ever since then and people have been so blinded by the tiebreaker that they've willfully been overlooking this.
2. When Effort plays his best, he is an elite player. He was not overrated in 2009 - if you actually watched his play you saw someone who was as good as anybody not named Jaedong. Lately he's been back in form - sure his ZvT looked shaky for awhile but he looked shaky in general. Even before this game he was looking like the same guy he was in 2009 - that is to say a beast who was virtually invincible against Terran. He just hadn't played ZvTs to show it recently (though actually he had in a great game against Fantasy but everyone discounted that because of "Fantasy sucks TvZ" blind hate again)
3. This map is quite different from every map they'll be playing in the finals. Even Polaris Rhapsody is more similar to Match Point than Judgement Day is to any map in the finals rotation. All we "learned" from this game was that if Effort gets a huge advantage early on, he has the late game skills to finish the deal, even against someone as good as Flash. This shouldn't have been surprising to people as Effort's always been an insanely good late game player but I guess all the Effort hate from the last few months has clouded this. We also "learned" that Flash's defense is amazingly good but even he can't come back from such a big early game disadvantage (caused by him being uncharacteristically sloppy and a BO loss).
All in all, Flash vs Effort is likely going to be an entertaining and competitive finals. Glad that this game happened so more people can see that now instead of all the "boo Kal would have been better" BS. Yeaaaaaaah right - Kal vs Flash is the final that everyone should have been dreading, and I'm glad we didn't get it. dude fuck you kal is way cooler than effort lol
Haha, Kal is one of my favorite P's but I just call it like I see it. We've seen Kal play at 100% and he simply lacks that "last 2%" that the commentators always talk about. Effort playing at 100% potential is much more likely to give Flash a fight.

Indeed. He can be fucking good at it. Still, I have predicted Movie's downfall as a progamer for a long time now. Nice to see that it's becoming a reality.

Hoejja played well last game, living with nal_ra was worth it.

I think kal has the skills to beat flash, he's just got really bad nerves in high pressure situations. I was hoping that since the start of this year he's been far more consistent in PL and such and that he'd finally conquered his nerves and could move to the upper echelons of play, but I guess he still needs more time :\

Well, in your defence he had a bad streak recently. Even Nal_ra was joking that Hoejja is grouchy cause he has lost quite a few games in proleague. But, he still has some nice ZvP. The problem is that he mixes sexy play with some fails (like guardians this game or circling around corsairs with mutas without firing etc.).

As long as Movies APM is around 230, he is going nowhere, it just shows in his games (Yeah, and Saviors ~250 APM was over 3 years ago, so please don't).
