As much as I cringe to bring it up, in some ways it seems that Flash's new build has become his "new 14CC". IF he survives early game, he has a huge advantage (if he had somehow held against JD, even with a CC lift, his advantage would have been enormous). But, it's SO hard to survive the early game, especially when opponents are looking for it, that it just isn't worth it. It's not quite as bad as 9 pool versus 14 CC but a 2 Hatch variant versus the new Flash build is close.

I really hope this doesn't turn into the equivalent of the "Flash strat TvP", where it rolls mediocre Zergs every time but can't beat elite ones....

BackHo has one of the strongest PvP at the moment and Stork is slumping.

Stork Purple, Barney Toss is going to roll this kid. *Gets memories of Ever Semis Bisu vs Stork*
The barney toss is invincible.

I'm quite surprised so many people thought Flash would beat Jaedong. One even commented that Flash was "stronger" at the moment.

Jaedong has broken the 2300 ELO limit again, and he's soaring towards a new record pretty quickly if he continues to win like this. I know it's early days yet, but if Jaedong wins this OSL and claims the golden mouse, he'll be an even stronger candidate for the greatest player of all time label.
