A power outage...
Come on, that's ridiculous.
How could that happen.
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

Giving Jaedong the game was wrong, it should have been re game because to me it looked like flash hard a pretty big army at the end and his science vessels were killing defiler comming out of the nydus at 7 o clock, I think he could have taken that base and maybe won. It is hard to say so bad decision in my opinion.
In life you can obtain all sorts of material wealth, but the real treasure is the epic feelings you get while doing something you love.

imo kespa made the right decision. map was T favored and jaedong's 3 hatch pool double evo move, which was jd's counter to flash's 1 rax expo, was already revealed. regame would give flash a huge advantage and jd a big disadvantage now that both know the strats.

no matter how you turn it, jaedong had that game 99%. flash had no tanks, no vessels, two soon to be dry bases and only 1 viable base. jaedong can rebuild very quickly and ultraswarm flash's single source of income while jd was on 3/4 bases. yes of course there's the possibility that flash could play really fucking good and jd could make epic mistakes, but that probability is not justifiable of a regame at all.

but the best scenario of course is that MBC FIXED THIS GOD DAMN PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH... how unprofessional was this?
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

IDK how someone can say that the best option is a REGAME..WTF

marines alone sucks against a zerg with defilers and ultras + zerlings + 5 hatch... and Flash got like 3 vessels at most.

Jd won that game but its sad cus People will remember this final for that stupid thing and not like the final when JD showed that he is the best SC player ever.

Watch the minimap in the last 3 seconds. Flash's army turns around from 7 and heads back home. Flash doesn't think you're right. Flash thinks JD holds bottom left with swarm.

Technically, since flash was still producing and had new units coming to the rally point, its possible he was only withrdawing the leftovers from 7 to regroup in a new ball. Like Chill, I also think JD had an advantage, but unclear how much of one. Anyway, I think I'm done with these finals for now, all these discussions aren't really getting anybody anywhere. Hopefully there will be an official post-game interview from Flash with his opinion/clarification one way or the other.
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

Read Kwark's thread on the remake of the game.


I did a troop count via minimap.


At the time of black out, Flash had 10 marines + 9 medics near his 9 expo, clearly NOT ENOUGH to break 3 sunks / 3 ultras / 6 lings / 2 defilers of energy / 6 scourges.


Flash had 2 rounds of marines (max 20) at his natural.


It would take Flash another 30 seconds to re assemble for another push into 7 because at the time of blackout those 20 marines were still stationed at his natural.

By that time, Jaedong's army would have nearly doubled! And with an economy 3x the size of Flash, Flash would have had to win in the next minute. An impossible task given the troop / economy counts. Plus Jaedong only needing to continue reinforcing / casting swarms all over the 7 expo and let his superior economy ride him to victory.

It's not Flash's fault, It's not Jaedong's fault, and hell it was not KeSPA's fault for giving seemingly controversial judgment. This blackout itself from MBC games own studio is unacceptable. Yeah, sure Jaedong was in advantage and Flash was losing on third match. KeSPA had to give decision and it is given, will that satisfy at least one side? Flash is of course, the victims on this situation. It probably wouldn't even satisfied 'winner of third set' Jaedong. He didn't want that, he probably wanted to achieve victory by forcing Flash to call GG. Whatever KeSPA's decision was, it probably didn't satisfy either side. We have to remember, that we shouldn't really complain about KeSPA's decision, but why in the holy mother of Jesus MBC game had to screw up the power in anyway. I am so very dissapointed with MBC. I am Flash fan, so maybe I am more raged on this, but seriously, I don't think Jaedong fill achieved winning the MSL either. This very MSL will be a scar to even victory profiles of Jaedong. Not everyone will feel he deserve the seat, and so as Jaedong himself.

My computer, monitor, router and modem are plugged into a back up power strip. The MSL didn't have these computers running through emergency power strips??? Are these people for real? I agree with the fact that JD was in the lead but flash was still in the game. There have been much bigger comebacks than that. Obviously if flash didn't gg yet he had a plan in mind. I don't know what i would have decided about the game but a situation like this could have been SO EASILY AVOIDED!

Jaedong's advantage was solid and clear. He's too good a player to let go of a choke hold in such an important match, period.

Flash knew that JD had won that game. It was his dad and his team stalling for 70 minutes which really mind fucked him. Letting him sit in a room for over an hour watching his supporters have such a lack of confidence in him doesn't help him in any way.

jaedongs entire build on odd eye revolved around the lack of lurkers
usually when zerg decides to go the normal path of getting to hive tech ultra/ling and defilers, lurkers are thrown in during mid game because lings alone cannot hold off the T/P push
but in this game he does a risky no lurker (i dont even think he threw down a den) build that techs up to ultras as fast as possible on 3 gas. Ultras are not supportable on 3gas but with lack of lurkers, he has left over gas to pump ultras for a while before he gets to 4gas+. It also helped that he threw down dual evos early game so that ultras would pop out with good upgrades. a very risky yet well conceived build order optimized to the map (odd eye - any opponent would have guessed jaedong to go for the 7 o'clock expansion for the 4 gas but he instead went for the relatively poor 1o'clock expansion, buying enough time) and the player (any other zerg user without 400+ apm would not be able to pull off such a micro-intensive build that relies solely on non-adrenaline lings to hold off moderate sized pushes from the opponent before ultras are out)

edit: oops didnt see that you had said the whole series... lol

well, the core of the problem is the following:

a decision had to be made, and there was no way to not hurt one of the players. choosing to deny flashs minor chance to still win this and hand out the game to jaedong technically speaking was the correct decision in terms of the situation ingame before the outage.

but no matter what would have been the technically correct decision, it was guaranteed to hurt the player against whom it was called. therefore there was absolutely no way to not have the power outage and the deciding of the game by kespa refs massively affect the player on the losing end of the decision made. yes, probably flash knew the game itself was 99% lost and i dont think he was particularly bitter or disappointed by the decision itfself, but what was happening around him, the circumstances and all, this stuff really crushed his mental state. and it would have been the same for jaedong if the game had been replayed.


therefore my conclusion is that because of the inevitable psychological effects of the situation, the only solution would have been to cancel the finals and finish the series with a bo3 one week later, with jaedong choosing the first map from a pool of current and reasonable maps. this way both players would have had enough time to settle down and reestablish their composure. jaedong choosing the map for the replayed game 3 would give him back some of the advantage he had established but was robbed off from in this scenario.

ofc this was no option for mbc/kespa for business reasons.

OMG guys stop talking abowt how Flash was unfairly harmed...if they have had given a remach the things from advantage for JD were going to change to 50:50 for both of the players + the map is in Terran's favor so in conclusion if there was given a remach flash was going to end with advantage.I think that this dessision was right because in case of remach flash was going to have better chanse for winning and Jeadongs AMAZING game during the 3-rd mach was not going to be rewarder as it should be. :-) And chill should be for jeadong because he is Zerg player wtf are you doing Chill :D. GG GL HF JD is the best Flash too :D...
