I guess he would have absolutely raped Jangbi, but again, I guessed he would raped Jangbi last time too, and I also guessed he would rape Fantasy. So what I've learnt from Flash: don't guess too much. It's unhealthy. :-) there are only 4 things that are absolute with flash: 14cc, pocari sweat, ruler, and twitching. | ||

Tell that to  EffOrt.Okay, needlessly snarky, but Flash isn't unstoppable, even in a finals set. | ||

Compare it to the 3set against Jaedong like a week later. 14CC? Make a damn wall so you don't lose to lings. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ I think Flash would have won it. Fantasy has always been good at cheesing/funkie builds, but never at defending against cheeses. Flash is the polar opposite: Extremely mechanically strong and always blocking cheeses. He lost 3 times in a row to protoss iirc. That means he probably practiced his ass off to kick protoss ass. Lose to Kwanro twice? Go on a 90-something percent win rate against zergs. | ||

Fantasy's games always fell apart the minute things didn't go according to his plan. I wouldn't consider him the most reliable by a long shot. It's a tossup between Stork and NaDa. To those saying Flash would have raped JangBi, did you guys forget who knocked out flash in the last OSL semi-finals? I'll give you a hint.... | ||

In Incruit, he had a puncher's chance to take game 5 against Stork (if only for Stork's inability to scout the 9oclock), and in JinAir, he looked so close to winning in game 5 and then Jangbi went beast mode. So he was really thisclose to 3 golds at least lol And in Batoo against Jaedong, he just kind of tilted. Man even with the hidden expo in Incruit, he was way behind in every metric. Puncher's chance or not, Stork is not the type to drop the ball when he's that far ahead. Not when he's got goon range researched. | ||

Did you quote the wrong post or are you trying to say that Fanta isn't undefeated in the biggest stage of Proleague? | ||

He is a player with blindingly obvious limitations. His record of late has more to do with conditons that are favourable to him (less games, relaxed schedule, easier competition) than any significant improvements on his part. Please don't tell me that playing vs. Flash was "favorable conditions". Or Jangbi, for that matter. In the last OSL semis and finals, Jangbi knocked out Flash, ZerO, and fantasy twice. It's not like fantasy ran into Movie or some other guy who somehow fluked into a final, and lost. Two seasons back, he took Stork to the woodshed - what I'm saying is, too many people make a big deal of fantasy not being perfect. Yes, fantasy has limitations. His peak just isn't Flash's peak. He's super-reliant on prepared builds and scenarios. But every player has weaknesses: fantasy was still viewed as at least a slight favorite coming in. Props to Jangbi for working out how to take advantage of fantasy's problems, but don't sell fantasy short: fantasy's prepared builds are second to none when they work: fantasy in control of a game is incredibly hard to come back against. | ||

Yeah you've been wrong when it comes to Fantasy since you always predicted Flash to win. Afaik Flash has lost a few games against Fantasy? | ||
