Yea _Quasar_, we tag teamed that! *eHigh-Five*
I had been refreshing waiting to see what the other people had to say, but I wasn't expecting the graphics work to come with it. Very nice Finale.
Edit: I meant to point how I found it funny that the zero fan said that flash's wrist is like oov, and the flash fan said it was like ggplay. I did think of ggplay, and medically it is more similar to him, but I thought of oov first, so I stuck with it.

I'm telling y'all; it's gonna be closer than you think.

Flash is going to sweep 3-0. Queens is only a surprise strat imo. It won't work against Flash + TvZ is hugely scewed at the highest level. I don't think I'm going to watch this, I will only feel depressed.

Zero is more-or-less even head-to-head with Flash and won their last encounter :O

Friday night Vancouver will win the Stanley Cup and Flash will win the MSL. And it'll be fun.

Awesome OP, thanks a lot for making it! Now we can just wait and see if the finals will do it justice.
And they should be interesting. Flash is a Bo5 beast in each matchups and TvZ is no exception, that's known for a long time. Zero, on the other hand, hasn't had the chance to show his play in Bo5 ZvT yet. Will he elevate his play to new heights or will he crush and burn? Let's see!
Either way, the winner will be very deserving of his title. Good luck to both players!

3-1 Flash still thinking, but hoping zero wins ONLY IF he can carry on that into PL... I really hate these guys who do well and dont follow up their delivery, we need some change in domination in sc:bw TBLS is too predictable
|
looking forward forward to this MSL more than the last one... zero has been impressive. hope it wont be a rompfest
|
I've never watched a bw stream, but I really want to see this. Unfortunately I'll be on vacation
|
Here comes another 3-0 ROFLSTOMP

Nice last words from Hacklebeast. Really, ZerO embodies something that symbolizes the development of BroodWar. Therefore, there could be nothing better for BW scene now than his win. 
ZerO should be very aware of bunker rush. Maybe even calculate all possible bunker places to know where to scout with minimal mining time losses.

Ha, agree with TTT's prediction of the final outcome

I think way too much has been made of queens and unorthodox strategies. Flash's loss to Zero the last time they met was much more due to Zero's superior economy before the queens. In fact, Zero lost more than half his queens the first time they came out making them a dubious investment. One or two might be good, just to throw Flash off track, but if he makes 10 or 12, Flash will just make extra science vessels and we all know that irridiate >> queens.
Zero really need to use every trick he knows of. He needs to keep the mid game harassment on and prevent Flash from doing a successful mid game m&m/tank push- which is undoubtedly Flash's most likely method of success. If Zero is bold and lucky, he will break down Flash and win.
Zero's best chance is to go a radically different strategy each time and outthink Flash because no one can outmicro either Jaedong or Flash. His win over Jaedong was actually mostly due to playing successful mindgames and Jaedong's extreme overconfidence in his failing 12 hatch. IMO, Jaedong is the one and only player who generally outmicroes Flash, but Flash wins more often than not because he has the stronger star sense. Zero should follow that strategy.
Despite that, in the end, it will probably still be Flash 3-1.

Which would be excellent for Flash since Effort is the last Zerg to beat him in a Bo5. Lol what a poor terrible analysis. Effort is never going to practice with Flash.

If Kimdongwoo's words are anything to go by, Effort is tearing shit up in practice in CJ house, his play is said to be better than it was during his peak prior to his retirement.
Effort and Flash are good friends, they used to practice against each other a lot; even when Effort was retired, they off-race and play casual games against each other on Bnet all the time...

I don't know whether you know but even when Zero hasn't been in a good shape, he has owned flash without any difficulties. If his mental condition is well, I predict complete pwnage
