Stork should be in dinotoss form.

Also, free should be in fangirl-bait form:

Then and only then will Jaedong and Flash truly know the meaning of the word fear.

Well, i honestly think that JD v Stork and Flash v Free are one of the best semifinal matchups in OSL history. Both games gonna be epic, i doubt anyone will have a chance to 3:0.
I would kill my kitten to see Flash vs Stork 2:3 final ^.-

I'm the biggest JD fanboy ever, but if JD loses this OSL I think he'll be crushed psychologically and be unable to return to his former glory. When he said he's going to play as if his life depended on it (NERD CHILLS), he's probably right about that.

I really feel like BW has some quality that SC2 lacks...I'd hate it if flash/JD switched to SC2, they'd already be way over the skillcap.

Can we please not talk about SCII in here ><
Either way, let's go OSL.

Give me a finale worth remembering.

Nobody should be sad about a repeat JD vs Flash finals. If the sun is indeed setting on BW, we could do no better than these two players battling it out in the failing light.

I dont think JD will get into a huge slump if he loses. I mean its 1 player, after flash JD is pretty much OP when it comes to BW.

And also, JD knows that if its hard to beat a player like Flash on a balanced map, its just shit hard to do it on maps that has over 60% win for terran.

As other people have posted before, I'm not sure if JD will go into a slump but it would probably take a toll on JD psychologically if he were to lose to Flash again. I mean losing to Flash 3 times in a row in the finals of the MSLs and OSL is rough.

I just hope JD has his head on straight and then he'll have a great chance given the map pool.

Ugh, JD has no momentum, his coach just quit, and Flash beat him a couple weeks ago in a Bo5... Honestly, i can't imagine being in JDs shoes. He's probably got a mental wall forming vs. Flash and then to lose his coach kinda sucks. If he wins I think its a testament to his mental fortitude.

I think for JvF to continue being the rivalry it is, JD needs to win, but Flash definitely has the mental advantage going in. I want to the Dong to show up, but I am worried about his mental strength.

This. However, he beat Stork in a close series, while displaying that he can roll with the best right now. The best part of JD's game was always his mental preparedness. He'll come out to play.

It's hard to say. It's sort of like a few years back in Tennis where Andy Roddick kept meeting Roger Federer in almost every final of every tournament. And yes, Federer always came out on top. It really set Roddick back by a mile. I mean he was definitely the next best player but he just couldn't overcome Federer and it clearly affected him big time.

Same thing like Nadal vs Federer now. We all saw how Federer cried after losing the Aus Open to Nadal last year. He probably thought he wouldn't win another Grand Slam anymore while Nadal is around.

But then again, if anyone can do it. It's gotta be JaeDong.
