Would you have called it unfair if Flash did get to the finals and Jaedong exploited the same thing that fOrGG did, 6pooling every game because Flash wasn't going to prepare for it? Because if I were Jaedong, that's what I would do, if I knew Flash was going to play like that. And that wouldn't make for a very epic finals at all, but that's what would have happened if Flash had even made it to the finals playing like that. I guess it comes down to either playing standard every single game and always having a macro war, or doing what it takes to win. And obviously fOrGG was doing what it took to win, and Flash was not. | ||

However, I am a very, very big fanboy of EPIC finals where the two great, well established players have a good/long history together, such as sAviOr/NaDa, iloveoov/BoxeR, iloveoov/July and it is a complete tossup who could win. i think jaedong will definitely take this. edit: hopefully flash doesn't choke in GOMTV against backho ROFL!~ Wouldn't have been a very epic final if Flash got there in his current form. ForGG deserved it more, and will make for a much better final. Especially since they're both from the same team, as mentioned many times before. Besides, the only history they have are 3 sets during a short period of time. Don't understand what everyone gets riled up about. ~~ | ||

 Flash/ Jaedong final.on the other, if Flash somehow got into the final on this kind of form then Jaedong would just rape him sideways like July did to Best. | ||

forgg is known for his timing attacks and im looking forward for an epic match-up since both players know each other very well and will prepare for everything that the other one can pull of his sleeves, quite sad though that flash lost but must give props to forgg for doing his homework there  | ||

Flash was probably so fucking sure he was going to beat fOrGG that he didn't practice that much, and instead started practicing against zerg. fucking fOrGG had to be a little cunt and do some unexpected shit, rob all of us, and most people who watch starcraft, of one of the most anticipated finals ever, since Flash and Jaedong have already played each other in 3 series and are equal in games against each other. i was really really hoping for the clutchest player ever vs the most dominant player ever in the most important tournament of the year and now we, all of us, can't watch it thanks to a little jealous bitch named fOrGG. edit: ......seriously flash? Cry more??? The better player won today. ForGG has definitely lifted his level of play, from micro, macro, to strategy and timing. Flash, meanwhile has been predictable and unimpressive. If the same Flash advances to the finals, he will just get raped by Jaedong. Flash already got 2-0'ed by Luxury, a weaker version of Jaedong. Or, somehow he will go from showing poor form to becoming a monster overnight? This is all fanboy speculation. Sure ForGG is not known for his TvZ but who's to say he doesn't stand a chance, especially when he has lifted his game in its entirety. He is Jaedong's teammate and understands him best. His timing could be dangerous to Jaedong, just like how Iris threw off Savior's 3-hatch mutas during the OSL. What really impressed me was ForGG's micro and his strategy. In game 4, his SCV crossed Flash's SCV. Right there he decided to build his proxy facts because Flash had already passed that area and he wouldn't have thought about coming back. Flash was probably thinking "where's the proxy?? where??!!" ForGG's micro was also pretty good. In game 1, he was microing 2 vultures, 1 running from a tank and the other killing scvs. These games reminded me of Iris's 3-0 of Stork who went FE every game. I like the new trend of players punishing FE macrowhores for their greediness. Terrans and Protosses have been FE'ing pretty much every game. It's bound to happen that aggressive players take them down and keep the FE'ing in check. Like Silver said, "FE'ing is a privilege, not a right." | ||

I just can never stop watching a game that never stops evolving. ForGG has filled up as an Ace for Lecaf so well. TvT's are so much more aggresive than before. I really enjoyed this series. ForGG brought a hard game and Flash got beat. But game 3 was so sick!!! Flash barely pulled through. But ForGG played so solid and GOOODDdd~~. Now he goes through the hardest test of all, the TvZ test vs Jaedong. I mean... has the thought even entered your head?? ForGG... MSL Champion?!?!?!? Holy shit... that would be nuts. Yeah, yeah, everyone expects him to lose. I do too. But teammate games are something different. Iris blossomed only because of savior. Who knows what Jaedong vs ForGG will be like. It could be total one-side or grand. He deserves a shot at a title. Why not? He was good back then and has been improving for a long time. And his run has been very impressive. | ||
