Last, Sharp, Rain and mayyyybe Effort can all beat Flash. Literally all 3 have shown they can beat Flash in BO series. Effort has the skill, obviously, just whether he performs or not. All 4 of those players are on one side of the bracket. Flash's side of the bracket is a fucking joke with Shuttle and Mini, and Action, while he did play awesome today, is still unproven. Flash has the EASIEST bracket of any ASL he's played in so far. Its lame | ||

Maybe part of it is the pain in his wrists, or medical conditions, but it's likely he's pressuring himself too, to overcome the Ro16 and make it to the quarterfinals again. I'm sure to Jaedong, he still remembers prior victories and being a champion and add on the expectations from the fans, and it's too much. Was just painful rooting for him here yet again, only to get greeted by another exit from 2 games where he held great advantages. Imagine if Jaedong advanced first or he eliminated Flash. It would've been the best story this ASL, bar none. Snow beating Flash last ASL, even with maps that favoured P made headlines. Now Flash loses twice against Jaedong on "mostly" standard maps. We would've had another champion this ASL (assuming Rain just loses lol). Too bad, the hype was real in this group and Jaedong again couldn't deliver. Either way, I'm sure it's the most painful for him so hopefully he rests up and recovers from this. ^ Sharp beating Flash? Nah, doubt it. Sure, Last, Rain and EffOrt likely have a chance if they meet him. Shuttle can still pull it off, and Mini is one of the Top 3 protoss atm that certainly has the skills. Whether he manages to contain his emotions and play as well as he can is another story. As for Action, hard to tell but proxy hatcheries like today likely won't work on Flash. He'll sniff it out, and stopped it before it takes place. | ||

Its lame Effort is my second favorite zerg and his games never cease to amaze me. But if you watch online matches between him and Flash , you will see the diference. Flash destroyed him five or six games in a row.... | ||

After the first attack on Flash's natural, JD needed to do one of two things to win in G5 1) Kill the vessel while he had air control 2) failing #1, kill the low-ground CC and transition to 3base lurk-ling ASAP. After failing #2, JD's loss was just a matter of time, as Flash had vessel tech, didn't lose a single vessel or tank, while JD had made and lost 7 mutas and about 18 hydras and had a massively delayed 3rd. JD could have exhibited godlike play from that moment onwards and still lost. Overall, JD showed a lot of aggression and good instincts, but had uncharacteristically bad micro. Failing to kill the vessel while he had air control was a micro failure... not like the JD we know and love. | ||

JD's peak was long ago is a known fact, thank you, but it doesn't mean that you shouldn't cheer for him, right? I am cheering for Jaedong until I die. I still hope he moves on with his life. And nobody of these old pro gamers is "young" any more in terms of their programming career. Regardless of age, I believe Flash ages better than other pros, because he is more of a genius than any other pro gamer. | ||

Jaedong talks about the games here, can anyone translate? Someone else said that he switched his patrol hotkey in the game vs Action so he couldn't micro mutas properly | ||

I am always amazed at how significant all these minute details to progamers that most of us simply miss. Well, at least it was clear that JD could have transitioned to something less aggressive after Flash's mistake which he did not. Now that the more I think about these games the more I am thinking about his wrists. | ||
