YES
because he knows his muta control is second only to Zero.
I actually agree. Jaedong's muta control is looking good again since mid-february, specially in ZvT, but on a straight fight, i believe Zero and Hydra muta control is better. Still, if you have to control mutas and a flock of scourges at the same time, Jaedong still is the best in the world and could probably beat both Zero and Hydra. If he wants to play it safe, donlings should be way enough to beat Zero.

Please win Tyrant!
Do you want to see poor Flash getting shredded apart by JD's mid game all-ins like the last couple of times? Or do you want to see nailbiting epic long macro games like the last Zero vs Bisu and Zero vs Flash. The answer is clear: for best entertainment, Zero vs Flash finals :p
When i first came into starcraft BW, i was taught that TvZ is imbalanced. I was taught wrong because my teachers were all Flash vs Jaedong VODs. Every time i watch the match up i used to think Flash wins because it's imbalanced. This is the first time in almost two years where Jaedong has a chance to convincingly beat Flash (nate MSL was a kind of maybe sortofish win) On the other hand, queens dont beat turrets. Build. Set. Series.
The turret BS works on map with tight chokes. AKA Polaris rhapsody . Remember flash tried similar shit in his game against Zero on Benzene aswell, making hardcore turret lines along the edge of his bases. Also, flash was on 5 gas so he had a lot of gas to work with and he didnt have to even use turrets - he could use goliaths which deal way more damage lategame. And look at Zero, he dealt excellent with it. Got the broodlings on the tanks, killed the goliaths, annihilated flash's army.

If its as great I wouldn't even care who won because it would be amazing to watch.

What? If anything this is the easy hurdle for jaedong. Hydra played some amazing ZvZ vs jaedong last semi finals and beat him. It made jaedong not look like jaedong.
And flash is flash... enough said.
I said that out of a gut feeling, not on statistics, to me this is JD's biggest hurdle.
His ZvT is at 80% since Jan. and there is no way Hydra will beat JD again. It will be similar to what JD did to Calm the second time they met in a Bo5
My gut tells me if JD wins this, the MSL is his and we will all chant ABCDong
If you say so, but I have a right to say I told you so when he wins 2nd place to flash or Hydra
If Zero made it to the finals, I'd still support Flash, but he's basically the only player I can think of where I'd still be happy if he won against Flash.
Second coolest zerg. (Hoejja is still number one.)
