Actually I was expecting him to pull out ye olde pvt checklist. Attempting to slug out Flash without going for low blows is very honorable. Tremendously stupid, but honorable. This series looks like Mike Tyson vs a 7 year old.
Protoss is very weak against Flash because there aren't enough cheeses possible With zerg you can try to pull a lot of different cheese but here ? Just hopeless...
Only Stork and maybe BeSt can beat Flash PvT in a bo5. But Stork failed miserably to JD in game 5 for 1 cannon. One cannon and we would have seen a Bacchus OSL finals rematch :|
Free didn't choke. This is a world class protoss and it shows in everything. Flash exploited the carriers perfectly - it seems you need some kind of early game advantage to have a chance against flash. In this game, the reaver opening put Free behind when it didn't do enough damage.

As for this serie, its over. The really sad part is that we will see another JvF final that is gonna be hyped as hell and then be boring as hell when terran map ends it 3-1 for flash.
Unless he spawn on the good spot and JD decide to try all mutas again, then it will be 3-0.
Except the OSL map pool isn't heavily Terran favored.

You gan proxy double, 10/15, and bulldog. Those are all cheeses that can work.

Even Jangbi back in top-form would get slaughtered by Flash in a BO5 right now. Flash has Protoss completely figured out and can exploit any timing window that he is given.

Bisu and Stork are the only Protoss players who, when on shape, seem to think they have a chance no matter who their opponent is.
Free especially always seemed to have no mental strength at all despite his huge skills and that didn't seem to evolve much over the years.

Sad, but a true fact. But yeah, let's hope for good series in the finals.
free is trying to calm himself down....haizzz, nervousness is his biggest enemy. Just don't choke and he will surely put up a good fight and maybe will beat Flash.
