Seriously, as a team coach would you risk putting Hoejja against Bisu?

We don't really need to discuss this any further. SKT will win and that's that.

Wow. Flash must feel like how Jaedong felt back in '09.

In retrospect, Flash's incredible winning percentage hasn't come against top players on the big stage. Recent "Grand Slams" have been against relatively unknown and inferior players who "lucked out" to make it into the quarters, semis and final. This is a relatively weak Starcraft era we're in - aside from Flash, Jaedong, Bisu and Fantasy, I'm not convinced that there are any other "Super Grandmasters" around. It's just a real pity that this "big 4" aren't consistent enough to make it into the latter stages of the "Grand Slams" to face each other.

Anyway, I made the point that Flash lost to a "Super GM" on arguably the biggest Starcraft stage of all time, earlier in this thread, and argued that Flash cannot be considered the GOAT (particularly since he's only tied with NaDa for number of Grand Slams). Since then, he's in fact lost twice to separate "Super GMs" on the biggest stage, the latter loss perhaps the most important match of all time - the ACE game of what appears to be the final Proleague match of all time.

NaDa is still the GOAT in my eyes. He went through a period of absolute domination, slumped (perhaps related to the death of his Father), and showed why he's the GOAT to come back and crush the then World Number 1, sAviOr, in the "Year End Championships" with a proxy Factory and trademark Vulture micro that is still today what I consider the greatest attack I've ever seen:

Anyway, sorry about the NaDa rant. I'm just shocked that no one seems to talk about the above match where NaDa made a proxy Factory and lifted it into sAviOr's base and did some incredible Vulture harass. The proxy Factory and Vulture harass were a joy to behold already, but the fact that he executed it to perfection on the big stage against an all-time great (playing at his peak) is just beyond incredible.

EDIT: for those who will comment that Flash beat Jaedong at least three times to win OSL/MSL finals, fair enough!
