They don't even present a prize or nuthin? well... Wasn't worth staying up for IMO but I guess JD and Flash get some long sleeve shirts for their trouble ^.^

Really sad to see how outclassed JD was. The first game he went a fairly economic build, and still had half of Flash's supply in the midgame. I agree that having to make the lings instead of mutas was a big mistake, but it still shocked me that he was THAT behind afterward.

Second game he went for much more aggressive play, did little damage, and again was at half of flash's supply by the midgame.

I know zerg should be behind in supply, but being 70 supply behind, and on the same number of bases as terran without any major set backs early... it was just a Flash stomp.

Shame we couldn't get a game 3. I thought after he killed all those vessels he might have a chance to come back. Even after the mech switch, Flash had a ton of bio left on the map. Was just too much for JD in the end.

Kinda weird how much money/time they put into this for just a BO3, the games were decent though

Maybe they're testing the waters for an actual tournament?

This series was sorta bummer, Flash was just playing on another level compared to JD. Makes sense since Flash seems to still play a lot on streams and in spon-matches but JD seems rusty and almost never streams BW lately (as far as I can tell but maybe he only streams when I'm not checking haha).They were both still fun but damn flash seemed to just be clowning on JD a bit with all those D-matrices haha.

I was wondering the same thing. Do we have any info, why this showmatch was arranged?

Too bad FlaSh has kind of ran away skill-level wise, this FvJ matchup isn't as fair as it used to be

I imagine Flash went to Jaedong after and it went like this:

that first game especially felt honestly depressing, I know it's a showmatch but the fact that Flash felt comfortable building BCs in a TvZ is like, on par with BM scouts. JD also looked pretty despondent when they showed him on camera during games.

Second game was fun even though it felt like FlaSh was just playing with JD the whole time purposefully letting him stay in the game for longer (as a service to the fans).

Well if we are lucky and Blizzard pulls out of Starcraft like they did out of Heroes, that 100k fee might go down as well. I'm pretty sure OGN would be more inclined to try a tournament again if it wasn't so super expensive to get the license from Blizz.

The event is part of gaming convention hence many different games were played not just Starcraft. Considering how SC is the grandfather of e-sports in Korea, show-match between two legends doesn't seem out of the ordinary.
