If not, get ready for 100 pages of whining about "bad games."
I wonder if people will be criticizing Flash's MSL title because "Jaedong played horribly and gave Flash the win."
Well, the games so far are hardly better than the OSL finals tbh, we want our epic lategame shenanigans, not this ee han timing stuff...
You realize that the way Flash plays, its hardly likely we'll get a long, even, back and forth game. Either Flash survives early game and rolls, or the JD does enough early damage and Flash dies early.
Other than the power outage game do you remember any games where its been long and good between Flash and another Z? Maybe one or two vs Hogil, but those were still rapes.
The one vs Action was kinda back and forth undtil flash attacked 10 o clock and secured 9 o clock Action was winning

I still have in my memory the amazing game between Flash and Jaedong on Rush Hours 3... Ah, that was a good game

What cheese? -_-
14cc is a calculated risk, not cheese.
Calculated ? What exactly did he calculate ? Didn't seem like he had any back up plan vs Effort.
Calculated in that he doesn't think his opponent is going for an early pool.
And versus Effort, it was more micro-missteps and bad decision making as opposed to the builds that cost him the game.
Yeah, on a two player map like destination, where your opponents overlord will scout your 14 cc rather quickly, one has to calculate the risk and I am sure Flash prepared for a Zergling rush, but his micro, which needed to be perfect (and if it was, it would have brought him a big advantage) was rather sloppy. So Flash knew that either EffOrt doesn't go early pool, or I need to micro well to defend it -> then I can push my advantage for the win. Does not sound so wrong considering Flash's micro is really good, and in previous games in the final, he was able to control his marines really well (except for that one push out that cost him another game).
Exactly. It's just, like you said, his micro (and bad decisions) failed him, not the build itself.

Tough call for JD. 3hatch incase he goes 14cc or prepare for cheese...
I'd prepare for cheese. You can come back from early game disadvantage but you can straight up lose to cheese.
Why should he try to compete in macro with Flash? It doesn't work -- 14cc and Flash combined are too strong. He needs to put in some harassment/kill him early.

crazy crazy game. Sadly I doubt JD would have the confidence to pull out something like that now. Also, the maps are not that suitable.
