I find it really sad that blatant Flash faggism causes people to say Flash would 2-0 JD. Regardless of how dominant Flash has been stomping average zergs NOBODY 2-0s the dong in a starleague. Flash may win 2-1 but you have to have some serious downs to say 2-0 especially after Flash lost to Hyun lolol.


Well we better hope Flash gets the stuff Forgg was smoking

Actually make that 2. Turn is coming up strong!

oh man the best plans are the ones you didn't even notice you came up with

BTW how come this has twice as many replies as all the articles we co-wrote? We should test an article I write all by myself and see if no one responds to it at all.

no we shouldn't

this has so many replies because the last week of the OSL was really good, compared to the first and second.

Apparently, hyun's strategy of constantly using mutas and avoiding lurker tech until his mutas do enough damage seems to work against flash

Flash delays his vessel timing by going mass mnm midgame so mass muta does seem to be the counter if you have the micro

Seeing as jaedong has the best muta micro in the world, I'm gonna have to go with 2-1 in favor of Jaedong here

Actually when watching the game flash went 2 rax tech vs hyun. He was actually going fast vessels because he thought hyun wasnt going to commit to his mutas. And flash delaying his vessel timing for a 3rd/4th rax actually is his counter to mass muta.

Here are my own predictions:

(Z)Jaedong vs. (T)Flash
+ Show Spoiler +
(T)Flash As much as I love Jaedong, he has not been doing very well recently. It is very likely he has ran out of steam due to the incredible demands placed on him the last two seasons. Flash, on the other hand, has recovered some of his stellar form back at least as far as TvZ is concerned. So while my heart says Jaedong, my mind says Flash.


(P)Pure vs. (Z)Calm
+ Show Spoiler +
(P)Pure Like Jaedong, Calm has looked a bit lost since his royal road in the Avalon MSL (it might be the fault of Inter.Clam afterall! ). Although he is a good player, it seems he might not be the next best thing everyone made him out to be and that he might go down the road of being a one-hit wonder as the likes of Mind and ForGG. Meanwhile, Pure has shown suprisingly good PvZ and honestly, I think it is strong enough to take down Calm.


(Z)ZerO vs. (P)Movie
+ Show Spoiler +
(P)Movie This is, by far, the hardest match to predict. Movie has shown great innovation as far as PvZ is concerned and is in overall excellent form. However, Zero is no slouch in ZvP and has what it takes to best Movie. So although I hope Movie wins, this series could easily go either way.


(Z)Shine vs. (P)Stork
+ Show Spoiler +
(P)Stork Shine has suprised everyone with his top form and he could very well be the latest one-hit wonder to hit the scene. However, Stork has shown uncharacteristicly strong PvZ (his WCG loss to Jaedong notwithstanding). If he can keep it up, I think it might be enough to put an end to this Typhoon.


I would love to see a Flash vs Stork final, especially since it would be a chance for Stork to avenge his Bacchus 2008 loss. Considering how he handled Flash recently, he would be the favourite to win in that case. However, that scenario entirely hinges on the Movie vs Calm game, since Stork`s PvP has arguably been his weakest matchup in recent times and Movie has already beaten Stork. If Movie advances, he could be an obstacle Stork cannot overcome.

Calm is 8-2 both overall and ZvP while Pure is 5-5 and 6-4 PvZ.
