It's definitely possible for the same to happen to Nada.
Sure, except Mind was a talented up-and-coming Terran who clearly had the raw skill to take down Bisu (we just didn't know him well enough yet).
NaDa, on the other hand...we know exactly what his skill level is, and it's nowhere near JangBi's. All you've proven is that underdogs can win TvP series sometimes. Not a very worthwhile point IMO.

Why does NaDa have to be playing the only toss I like...

If JangBi is the only toss you like...you've got bigger problems 
Honest question: what do you like about JangBi? What makes him special? He seems to me to be the definition of Generic Protoss Player. No style, no personality. Sure, he wins games but...surely there must be some other reason you've picked him?

As much as I like NaDa its not very likely that he will take away that best of 5 of JangBi. You may never count out NaDa thats for sure, but JangBi is a beast, the only thing NaDa has an edge at is experience and I think there's not too much experience gets you these days.
I'm hoping for NaDa to take the win home 3-2, but I fear JangBi will take it 3-1.
PS: Yes I'm a huge fanboy and really want to shout "LEE YUN YEOL YES KILL HIM" but I won't because there are rules !

I ALSO LIKE YOUNG.
About Jangbi, I don't know really. I just think he plays better than people give him credit for, any Jangbi v S-class player everyone cries S-class and I think he holds his own very well an generally makes those games interesting. I don't really think you need personality to roll over non S-class people. I thought his last series vs Bisu was pretty good as well. Just my thoughts. Its not like there a million ways to play toss these days.
I'd say there are toss that have much less personality.

By this logic, there should be no Flash fans, since Flash epitomizes the turtle terran style. Can't people be impressed by impressive play?

Surely you can just google this like 99.9% of things you come across that you dont't know. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhang_Fei
Although I will say that Jangbi's not as aggressive as his namesake, but that's to be expected given the meta-game of SC today. Perhaps the character fits Jaedong more.

Wow, the only man who ever held a candle to the dreaded Lu Bu.
Jangbi truly is amazing.

Hahaha, I believe that IS my point. Nada is the underdog, therefore he has a CHANCE to win. Although it's going to be uphill....quite an incline, for Nada that is

What? BeSt easily has one of the most distinctive styles of any Protoss player right now: pure, unadulterated, brute force macro power. This style comes with its weaknesses (PvZ) but I find it extremely entertaining to watch. I don't think there's a more pure macro player in all of SC right now.

Of course...even as a non-JB fan I am impressed by some of his crazy PvT wins. But Flash has the allure of being the best Terran out there right now, and possibly the most talented SC player of all time. He already has a Starleague under his belt, tons of rivalries (Bisu, Jaedong), and an interesting storyline (balancing being KTF's workhorse with Starleague success).
JangBi...he's not even the world's best Protoss, and he's just now emerging from Stork's shadow at KHAN. I just don't see many interesting, fan-alluring elements to his play, background, or personality.
I can understand why he has fans (for his immense talent), but it was surprising to hear someone say that JB is the "only Protoss I like".

He is still a fairly new player, can hold his own against the best. (Maybe not win) two silvers is nothing to scoff at. Hes definitely the best player without a starleague title.
And who says someone has to be the world's best to be liked =P

Now that Leta's out of both leagues, I agree. I guess this is a good reason to root for JB.
@ your edit: of course I'm not saying someone has to be the world's best in his race to have fans (look at me, I'm a diehard BeSt fan). I brought up Flash being the world's best Terran as an explanation for why he would have fans even considering he plays what baubo called a "turtle terran style".

JangBI may not be the best Protoss at the moment, but sans Bisu, he's awfully close, no?

<3 you too Otter Terran!
plz win

I do think NaDa pulling this one out against all odds would really be something special and it would do wonders for all those x-bonjwa-esque players in getting them to keep their head in the game.
