Zero barely has more games than jaedong wins only lol :D as i thought how much of an advantage can make them play on equal terms i concluded that jaedong must have not played at least a month while zero practiced a shitload and here's what i find in a relation to this thought:
Recently ZerO had almost only practiced zvz because he had calm and hero for opponents beforehand and Jaedong had not even one single opponent zerg in the MSL.
also not to mention that jaedong's zvt is better. zero is very strong zvt too and will be probably rooting for him if flash is against him in the finals. but Zero is the type of player that can only win against flash/hydra in a single ace match in the proleague, and very hard in a bo5
i kind of feel robbed of a great final now T_T
on a related note, ZerO had almost no ZvT's lately. X_x Soulkey seems to have "collected" all the games vs Terran on SPL, while ZerO kept getting mostly P's and Z's.
and guess what will happen if Flash meets Zero) <trollface>

People need to stop confusing "not playing as well as he used to" with "he's played bad".
And is there any logic to differ this? From a fan point of view, he is playing worse than he used to or he is playing bad, does it somehow excuse the fact? I'm said because he lost, not because he played worse than he used to.
his zvt is better than it's ever been
a little painkiller heh?
do you disagree?
no, agree, I just wish he won today instead of leveling up his ZvT)
Ahh I love zero. He's the ultimate wildcard. Never a big underdog vs anyone and never a huge favourite over anyone (except stork). Finally he's in a final. I'm a happy kakaru. Gotta watch the games when they are up.
Cheers to the cutest zerg in the world and I hope stomps Flash 3-0 in the final.
Totally unexpected result! Too bad I couldn't catch this live, definitely going to check out the VODs. I would imagine that the commentators flipped out at the deciding game.

They wanted to see a JvF duel for a 6th title
Zero is good but he is untested in a Bo5 ZvT. He has beaten Flash in single games before, but I don't think he has what it takes to take down the best terran player in a series.. especially not when Flash will be hungry to tie Nada's mark of 6 titles.
Zero would stand a better chance against Hydra since it would be ZvZ coinflip shenanigans, but then again, Hydra's ZvZ is better than JD's at this point.
It's really obvious Jaedong sacrificed vZ and vP for his vT now.... but what does it matter if you can't get to the place where you need to use it? He can't coast on his old skill in those matchups before, he's been trying to for ages and it's not working. He's hardly ever playing vP in PL and his play in that matchup has been declining for ages, the Stork and Snow series would have been totally one-sided once upon a time. vZ he plays more often but as people have pointed out, his muta micro in it as been on the downfall for a similarly long time.
To be honest i think it's somewhat the fact that he's in Oz is holding him back from doing as well as he could. I know it wasn't a problem before but it seems to be now. His team isn't competent enough to A. be practice partners and B. support him in proleague. Not excusing Jaedong himself of course in this, it's still his fault but you can understand his logic of improving vT mostly when it's was where he fell short for so long. Hopefully this is a wake-up to catch up.
Also ZerO is a very likable player, i can't think of another played that i'd like more to get into the final other than Jaedong. So it's not fully disappointing. He's prehaps the only other Z that could even give a good series with Flash.

Because these people haven't watched the past games between Zero and Flash, I guess. Flash is ahead 4-3, hardly an overwhelming advantage.
For the sake of refrence:
It's not everyday Flash gets a Infested Command Center. Zero plays so confidently - ends up taking every base on the map. Flash vs. Zero finals would be nothing short of spectacular.
Actually I'd favor Zero over Flash if the game goes to the late stages. Well, considering that this is Flash, there are pretty big chances that it doesn't.
Maybe we'll see something new from Flash during the semifinal bo5 vs Hydra, but recently, Flash hasn't been playing with any good Zergs (except Jaedong to whom he lost twice, and Hydra who made a fail attempt of all-in on him), so it's hard to tell how is his TvZ now.
