can anyone explain to me how Hydra could possibly lose? Clearly he has the stronger mentality, better ZvZ, stronger gameplay, solid mechanics, incredible Muta micro, and the power of Efforts.

Jaedong? well, he played significantly less ZvZs, has a knack for slacking recently, not the god of ZvZ anymore and his Bo5 record was destroy in 2010.

Hydra 3-0 yo.

Stronger Mentality - Destroys everyone. Annihilates with the CJ face without even blinking. (Bisu Jaedong Calm are just a few examples)
Jaedong even admitted he wasnt playing top tier vs Snow. Jaedong probably only takes it seriously vs the likes of Stork, Bisu and Flash.
Who else is good enough to take down Jaedong in a Bo5? Hydra
Recent ZvZ shows Hydra will be more prepared.
Power of Effort in a specialty unit.
Explain to me why Hydra's 1 time streak isnt coming to an end any time soon?

Kenpachi you haven't proved any of the points you made. Stronger mentality? Jaedong always fights for his life like vs Snow. Better ZvZ? Jaedong's ultimate record shows he has Bo5 experience and ZvZ experience that is backed by his micro.. Also Jaedong annihilated Effort... So.. If he has the power of effort he'll probably fall like effort too. Hydra's recent ZvZ records could be a one-time win streak thing which is going to be ended by Jaedong, he doesn't have a good ZvZ history to show consistency like Jaedong

Let's disprove you one at a time.
Stronger Mentality: Jaedong has come back again and again to the Ro4 and finals consistently even after being defeated by the god flash. He has no record of a slump. He has the better ZvZ elo. And he never takes a win for granted. Every interview he tell them he will train harder and win better.

Jaedong admitted he wasn't playing to tier to snow: So this means when JD does play top tier its gonna be something fierce. Because he played pretty damn well against a flawless playing snow.

Who else is good enough to take JD down? After defending JD, I will admit who can actually beat him. KT Flash. has consistently beat him in the Bo5 last year. and I doubt Hydra is in the same league as Flash.

Recent ZvZ shows hydra will be more prepared: ....What?!? JD has the most experience in this match up. He defeated Fake Yellow in the finals a couple years back. He's more then prepared and more experienced.

Power of Effort in a specialty unit: That makes no sense. So Im going to assume you mean he's alien to. Which is unlikely.

Explain to me why Hydra's 1 time streak isnt coming to an end any time soon?:
.
..
...
JvZ...that is all

Stronger Mentality- DO YOU EVEN WATCH THEM PLAY? Jaedong has been shaky as fuck while hydra just stomps people down. Other than his series vs Snow ..

I was just saying that Jaedong's Bo5 Record was tainted and probably stopped working after Flash took him down so many times.

Recent ZvZ. How many ZvZs did they both play since Early December?

Effort was well known for ling control.

JvZ doesnt exist anymore. its done. now its normal ZvZ because Jaedong cant dominate from a BO disadvantage anymore.

:D IN YOUR FACE PEOPLE :D

Well Hydra then is better than Calm or Kwanro were then.

Then again, great.

Well yeah Great is pretty much the deciding factor. This would very well become a repeat of Savior vs Silver simply because the Samsung coaching staff is pretty much useless.

It's pretty clear which element of the ZvZ match-up Hydra practiced to death. He just beat Jaedong in all three times that went to Muta battles.

It's not Avalon all over again because once Hydra wins this gold, he'll still keep performing and will prove that he's worthy.

Not revert to some mediocre zerg who is slightly better than average.

I think Hydra might (potentially) be better than Effort was.

Which is really scary, if you think about it.

one must take the dream league very seriously,which is why OZ will get its new Protoss ace sHy.

Yay, another month where Flash gets to coast at #1 PR even though he isn't in any league (I mean seriously, the only thing that would get him knocked would have been Jaedong winning the MSL). FML. Hydra, you better keep this up and actually dominate hard and not go into huge slumps the way EffOrt did.

Since Ever 07, JD has made a finals every single season except during the 6 dragons season in late 08. It's a shame he didn't reach it this time, but Hydra outplayed him in his game and deserved it.
