You're grossly underestimating flash if you think Fantasy's just gonna walk over him in a Bo5. No way bogus is beating flash twice in a row and action has spent too long getting mauled in practice. | ||

Edit: I'm assuming the winner of A plays the runner-up of group D, like the last 2 OSLs. Or have they released a different draw? | ||

He's using statistics to predict something and statistics show that there was a much higher probability of it going one way. What shitty attitude is this trying to tell other people to grow up? These statistics are true regardless of rather he's a KT or STX or flash or bogus fan. | ||

Zero in the ro8 will be ugly, Flash TvZ looks unbeatable these days + it's bo5. A repeat of the MSL Flash vs Fantasy semi would be amazing although I'm not sure how the ro4/8 matchups are decided besides 1st place plays 2nd place. | ||

Someone ignorant of the facts of fantasy's performance can't possible have an evaluation thats worth any weight, and whether they pick an opinion that's underrated or overrated is entirely coincidental. If anything more people overrated him on the ignorant basis that he's boxer / oov's protege, not underrated. The points you made - not same level as bisu or stork (thats because he wasn't when people thought that, which isn't under rating), not considered code S (thats ridiculous, most people did), only recently get 1st rank (thats because he deserved it now, and flash deserved rank 1 most of the time he had it). Legitimate points about other things. Imo he wasn't considered TBLS level because he just couldn't match flash in the rivalry when TBLS was first thought up (2007-2008 Bisu / Stork was a very back and forth rivalry), just like how there isn't another zerg in the TBLS because no other zergs came close then. | ||

Games aren't played on paper, or by the fans, anything can happen, and much to the dismay of Flash and JD fans, things do happen occasionally. Remember when even at the (or one of) the peaks of Flash's career, he lost like 5,6, or 7 consecutive ace matches, most (all?) to terrans? He was still the best overall player, but players can practice and plan accordingly and outplay Flash. He's just human after all. What's the big deal? He's not even eliminated yet. The big deal is this guy's attitude and saying it's blind fanboyism and that he should "grow up" because he pick flash as favorite over bogus in TvT right now, would be as stupid as someone picking some random zerg over Jaedong during JvZ and saying its blind fanboyism other wise. | ||

Bogus looked good.......He seemed like the the ace player that he's suppose to be. Contained Flash and was all over the place the commentator couldnt seem to keep up............I see Bogus upsetting out of the tie breaker if he can go back into his beast mode from 2 PL ago. | ||

In his current state, I just don't think Flash will win 3 consecutive Bo5s, beating Fantasy along the way. | ||

Fantasy is underrated by everyone. Bisu got an MVP from Kespa so no need to keep saying that all the time. In other news soO is really "hyuking" everyone up. He was close to finals last OSL and now he proves he can get there again. I'm really pulling for this underdog to shock every1. | ||

Fanta is a BW genius in a strict sense of the word: both flamboyant and efficient. He will destroy you and make it look subtle. (/fanboy mode off). Too much SC2 guys... Woops, yeah I meant S-class. | ||

I don't know what worse: the coin flippy nature of the games or the fact protosses are always dying to it. | ||

Hope Flash advances, he usually does way better in BO5 than group play | ||
