XD in all seriousness though, this promises to be a very fun setup, because Flash has great defensive psychological strength (game sense) while Fantasy has great offensive psychological strength (prepared BOs, sniping). Vice versa they're both strong too, but relatively speaking that's how they shine. the dynamics are great too, first a Bo3 and then a Bo5. Should be interesting to see how Fantasy decides to play the cards (aka builds) in his hand. | ||

That said i wish JD vs. Flash was a better rivalry >:o They are too damn respectful of each other. Flash says he thinks JD is better in an interview, the JD says Flash is better in his interview. God damnit insult each other ffs XD I mean I like how u guys are cool with each other but bad blood always makes rivalries funner  | ||

And I don't think it's possible to say who the best player EVER is. Especially with the 3 different races. The closest you can get is say who the best player of a certain race was. When you cross the race barriers of SC, the mechanics, metagame, map, etc. All come into account. (Not that those things aren't factors in the ladder, but far more so disregarding the race played). If you are talking currently, I would say Flash is the best, but not undisputed the best. So long as JD remains playing well, as he has been lately, Flash will always having someone chasing his heels.

God damnit insult each other ffs XD I mean I like how u guys are cool with each other but bad blood always makes rivalries funner Skillwise Flash is miles ahead of Nada in his prime, simply because the overall skill of progamers increases as time goes by. Even Savior admitted that if he played like he did at his prime, he wouldn't be good enough to win among todays progamers. So purely looking at skill definately Flash right now is better than Nada back then. Now, if we're looking at how much a player won over everyone else, etc etc its a different story but the truth is the collective skill of progamers today is much bigger so thats a bad way to gauge who is better in terms of beating more people | ||

Well, Oov will have perhaps 4 hours to analyze the WCG series to tell Fantasy some last minute adjustments to make for MSL. I hope Fantasy can break the wall this time. | ||

A player will likely save their better builds for MSL I would think, but what's the strategy for the WCG games? Flash will probably play to his full strength in both series, can Fantasy afford it? Well, Oov will have perhaps 4 hours to analyze the WCG series to tell Fantasy some last minute adjustments to make for MSL. I hope Fantasy can break the wall this time. I dunno, I'd take WCG pretty seriously if I was them. LA is such a nice city to travel to. It might not seem like too much for us here in North America, but in Korea how many chances like this would you get (especially if you're a progamer living 90% of his life in a practice house). On top of that curb stomping some foreigners to show them the difference between Sc1 koreans and Sc2 koreans would be pretty fun as well | ||

I think Jaedong, Flash, and Bisu would be much more jolly and approachable. Have you even heard any of their interviews and seen Bisu on any shows? Just cuz Bisu is better looking than Fantasy doesn't mean he's more sociable. Bisu is like one of the most shy and awkward progamers ever. | ||

Did people already forget how this guy was celebrating like it was the greatest achievement of his life after he all-in proxy 2-fact-ed and won against Flash's fast expand? What? The fun of WCG is watching the Koreans curbstomp overmatched non-Koreans. 40 minute turtle games defeats that. | ||
