This is easily one of the most exciting finals I have ever seen. ZerO is the player I feel offers the highest entertainment potential of any progamer currently playing. He cares so much more than others about providing an amazing viewing experience but actually works to incorporate showmanship into a solid, winning playstyle.

ZerO is the closest thing to a Zerg Boxer we have ever seen, and probably will ever see. And he's finally addressed his achilles heel in series play. I think ZerO's storyline is one of the most compelling in all of progaming, right behind Midas, and I can't wait to see what he brings to the table in the finals.

Incidentally, I seem to remember ZerO and Flash being friends/practice partners in the past. I imagine this may result in some extremely goofy games in the finals, and probably pushes the matchup closer to 50/50 than it might otherwise be.

Rooting for ZerO, but I expect amazing games from both players. Best MSL finals in years!

Let's go ZerO!!! Flash has enough wins for himself

, there's nothing like a new, winning, hexagon-shaped face standing atop the corpses of his competitors.

Even though I want ZerO to win soooo badly, I'm hoping even more for an epic, super close 5 game series with some crazy-awesome-ness in all the games. This final is gonna be SO AMAZING!

Oh come on, I'm supposed to make these threads =(

But in all seriousness, this looks sick. And as ]343[ has said, we'll have something for you soon. I'm trying different hype piece ideas, so those that don't make it to the news report might come here, kk?

Also if this can reach...
70 pages I'll < insert random promise here >.

LET'S GO PEOPLE 70 PAGES FOR RANDOM PROMISE!111!1!1

Anyway I'm pumped to see Zero and Flash play, they're both awesome at ZvT and TvZ respectively and should deliver some amazing games! Hoping for 3-2 victory for Flash so he can finally secure his golden badge and rest his wrist.

FLASH FIGHTING!

Also, Finale, you're the Finale to Finals threads!

Dude, I'm loving the new icon!

I don't know it might be hard to accomplish 70 pages. I'm hoping Zero can win a game or two. :[

A small contribution to this thread. I'm going to support Zero. Jaedong must be the next person to win 3 MSL tournaments. Go Zero!

So SICK!

There's been so much goddamn upsets the last couple of months *cough* jaedong *cough* that I really don't know. Although, flash is so ridiculously solid that I don't see him slipping up a finals. GG Nada, a couple of months over four years for somebody to match your 3/3.

Predict flash 3-1.

exactly what i thought of the ka1osl, haha. zero wins 3-1 by early game ling aggression, deja vu.

Can't wait. A few months back, aside from Stork, Zero was the only player who felt like he had a chance vs godmode Flash in a series.

Cool banner in the OP!

Well, what can I say, its not a JD vs. Flash final at least. Flash is obviously the heavy favorite here, and I expect him to win.

anyone know where this is taking place???

According to the Kespa calendar the venue is 광운대학교 대강당. I just looked it up on the map and it doesn't seem that close to any subway stations...I'm undecided as to whether I wanna go or not. Is anyone else planning to go and watch live?
