I can't believe i missed this... Been so busy lately.

All I can say is...The games were really boring and one sided -_-

Congrats Flash for being so dominant that your games are now boring as hell to watch :p

It is impossible to be like Flash without having a very strong, real talent and passion for the game, as well as 14 hour practice sessions daily. Then there's the real pressure to perform. It's not a game for these people, it's their job and it's very competitive. KT's coach is known to be brutal and he really treats his job as seriously as any national league Football or Basketball coach, and maybe even beyond that. Many Americans or Europeans might think its all for fun but the Korean progamers definitely dont feel that way.


thank you for taking your time replying with a real response, very well understood sir thanks

I agree with that sentiment. Flash was on fire.

Zero's play in games 1 and 2 should not be so heavily criticized, he did well. Shame he couldn't score a win or two, but its something to look forward to next time.
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

I somehow disagree with this. While Flash was outstanding, the experience of JD and his recent success against Flash would have made a different series. I still think that Flash would have a win but never 3-0 imo.

i understand but people seem to discredit zero, he has an outstanding record against flash and is a monster at tvz, the same we can say about jaedong, he defeated recentlly flash in an espectacular fashion. but flash prepared insanely for the finals, no one would have pictured the BO he would choose for the finals, as well as the timing and dedication he prepare for it. i do agree jaedong would have take a few games from flash but even with all the mental fortitude he has in BO5 comparing it with zero, i believe we would see flash beating jd again in another final which would make people feel sad about it. i think zeros chance was a good one and refreshing to not see the same thing again. but the jvf final this time would have been for the tittle of the greatest and the golden badge, thing that will be more dramatic than the previous ones, perhaps history repeats itself in OSL.

That proves he doesn't follow SC2. MLG Columbus was the epitome of what E-sport could be.

That was partly attributed to Kwanro using ultralisks as minesweepers, though.

Harem tells me to add this.

I feel like that game single-handedly ruined Kwanro's drive to be a progamer.

Regarding the finals, I was again awestruck by Flash's preparation and execution. He has the self-control to destroy his own appendages for victory. How can anybody compete with that?

This is the first MSL/OSL finals I haven't watched in 3 years (Well, it was only the third I couldn't watch live). It was just too obvious what was going to happen. I checked the spoilers game by game just to make sure; If I saw Zero winning even one game, I would have watched the series, but I knew the chances of that happening were close to zero.

I'm sure there were some entertaining plays, but knowing the result beforehand makes it unworthy of my time during finals.

I hope the next individual league finals aren't as one-sided.


I did the same thing, spoiled myself game by game looking for signs of a compelling series and didn't find any. I much preferred the scene from 2~ years ago where you had 5-6 players all around the same level. These days any game with Flash lacks drama and excitement for me.

Brief comments as I watch the VODs:

Game 1 - did nobody notice how Flash responded to the muta/scourge counterattack on his main? His initial valk escaped, but he returned her to eat the scourges, leaving Zero with no scourges when his 2 oncoming valks arrived.

I really didn't like Zero's decision to rush 4Hive when he got so lucky with the ling runby scout - the instinctual response to a scout like that revealing your build would be to commit before your opponent can respond (hydra den, whatever) and Zero completely played into Flash's hands. Especially given that he already had speedlings, he would've been much better off going with scourges and lings to stall an immediate sunken wall at his 3rd before slowly transitioning to hivetech.

Game 2 - vulture harassing like a god. Game 1 valkonic, game 2 vulture harass - is this God Mode Fantasy?

What was most strange in game 2 to me was during all the lurker to MnM encounters, Flash didn't bother to scan and engage but instead backed off when lurkers burrowed.

Not sure specifically what moments you mean, but bear in mind that engaging lurkers when mutas are overhead is extremely dangerous. Flash was able to engage Hydra's lurks head-on because he'd already whittled down the muta count, but Zero kept a strong muta flock present. Marines forming a line to attack lurks are just asking to get sniped by mutas from the sides.
May the BeSt man win.
