Jaedong right now looks like Flash of the 14CC era, and Stork of the perennial silver era. He's being countered against hard and failing as a result. I hope for his sake that he realizes just that and just play either aggressive or super-safe. Rather than cutting corners or go for economy-based openings.

If everything goes standard, there's zero chance that Fantasy's MnM play(the maps are generally unfavorable for mech) can withstand Jaedong. But Jaedong has to reach the midgame first for that to happen.

After last night I would not be suprised with a 3-0 for Fantasy.

Hopefully Jaedong got some rest and gathered himself today.

I want Jaedong to win, he's had a rough time recently.
Realistically though I see Fantasy taking it - unless JD goes in to rape mode after gaining some confidence again.

The entire outcome of this match depends on whether or not JD finally got some sleep after months of crazy schedules and he can remember what he is playing for here. Not for the team, not for just another badge in the lesser of two tournaments, but for the golden mouse and the first to do back-to-back OSL wins since Boxer himself. If he can do those two things, he can't lose. He's too good of a player.

If Jaedong loses this Bo5 immediately after + Show Spoiler +

losing to Calm in MSL

and dropping his team's chance at winning Proleague, I fear for what could happen to his mental state.

People talk too much crap about mental state bla bla. When Jeadong was in "normal mental state" like in Proleague Final he still got raped. Come on many other good players catch him up now. Just accept the reality.
