This is a hard one for me to predict.

Rain (imo) is the best match protoss player in the history of the game.

He is better at winning boX then he is in any one game.
I don't know if it is instinct or militant preparation, although I lean heavily towards the later - or just both.

Flash on the other hand is the best starcraft player in the world and in history. He can be beaten. It has been done, many times. But except Effort, it is almost always a statistical mistake to pick against him.

Also, and I know TvZ is a different matchup and I'm sorry for the spoiler (it's been months it on you) but his comeback against Soulkey in that long ass match "Ultimate Battle" or whatever reaffirmed my faith in the underlying uniqueness of his talent. I have never seen a comeback of that magnitude against someone playing as good as Soulkey.

Now that I wrote that.... Yeah, I convinced myself. Rain showed both brilliance and nerve induced mistakes in his match against Last.

Flash with a shredded wrist and rotting shoulder is going win this match and the next. In his most beatable matchup, he will dine finely on templar meat.

You have been drafted into the Terran Confederacy.
Would you like to know more?

Well, Flash is the best player ever in BW whereas Rain is probably the second one (not of the entire history, but for late years).

I think (and hope yeah because i'm an old school player) Flash wins, but if Rain wins it, it would not be a shame for Flash. Seriously, this guy is really smart when he plays...

Anyway, Flash on his side is good at every part of the game. He can handle cheesy builds with his multitask and perfect micro, he can also handle very long macro game, and what about mid game? Oh well, I'm just saying this guy is a fucking monster, just the best...

And to finish, a remake of Flash vs Snow in final would be great too...

So sorry Rain but I definitively have to support Flash, GOGO FLASH !!!

Really hope Rain can win. It'll be like the tving OSL all over again with Flash being one series away from retirement and falling at the hands of an SKT player.

I guess a TvP finals would be better for BW though.

I'm a bit nervous for Flash, not gonna lie. I think he should take it, but he definitly needs some better decision making than against Light in game 2. Rain doesn't play around.

Don't ruin my Liquibet Flash!!

I think Flash will take this easy, I am expecting Rain to go for some cheese/allins as I don't think he is dumb enough to go for standard game vs Flash. It will depend on how well prepared Rain has his builds...

I'd rather have a Flash vs Snow finals than a PvP where Rain stomps Snow easy.
