Well Leta's only played one Bo5 before, and that was against Luxury (who had great ZvT). So I'm not sure where you're getting the idea from that Leta is bad at Bo5's. I agree with you that he's going to get massacred, but that's because Flash is really really good, and already up a game, and not because Leta is especially horrible at Bo5's.
He specifically says that the issue is with lack of experience.

You'd think his experience beating Flash in an MSL BoX would transfer well.
No, his problem tonight will be that Flash is just plain better.

Bo3s and Bo5s are very different. There are plenty of players that win Bo3s but comparatively get crushed in Bo5s.

Exactly. Even if you have Skyhigh helping you (who can't perfectly merge with Leta so even if Leta trains with Skyhigh, he can't get his game sense), it doesn't change the fact that Leta isn't better than Flash in any single way. If he's going to lose, its going to be because Leta is completely outclassed by Flash, just like how he is by Jaedong.
Unless Leta can remove his deficiencies within this week, I have no doubt he's going to lose. He could win obviously but if you had to bet your life savings on either player, you'd autopick Flash without hesitation.

Almost showtime. I don't care who wins Calm vs Zero, I just hope it's over quickly so we can get to the main event (and since it's ZvZ it probably will be *knock on wood*)
