Great writeup! I read the descriptions and ratings to decide if I'm going to watch a game, as such I will be watching Flash vs Baby later

If it ever got there, Stork could eliminate Flash in a semi final. That's the closest I can see besides Jaedong getting his act together.

I mean everyone else, even Bisu or Best or Kal, at their best don't really measure up to this version of Flash. Stork and Jaedong are the only players I've seen honest to goodness beat him in a manner where I thought they could truly be considered the better player (And, actually, Leta and Skyhigh did this but my faith in Flash's TvT will never waver. 22-0).


bisu did 2-1 flash on heartbreak ridge last WCG with pretty high level play

I think Flash vs Kal is the best potential OSL final we can get. And it would be a good OSL final too; Calm vs. Flash was an incredibly high-level match and I'd expect Flash vs Kal to be equally high level.

At the moment, Kal is the only P who can take a game off of Flash in a Best of series. He's an incredibly smart player who seems to be the only person have any chance at all of taking a game off Flash.


Kal is good, but i sorta lol'd at kal being the only P who can take a game off flash. kal is 1-5 flash with the 1 game being a dt rush where flash skips turrets last summer. flash is just so clutch, i dont think kal can take a single game off flash.

imo zero has the best chance, but the problem is whether he'll make it or whether his zvz will fail him


First of all zero can't even do well vs decent terran, and if he's gonna face Flash for the title.


zero vs flash on match point last MSL was one of the most perfect zvt's i've seen with good map abuse. zero can play brilliantly, its just that he still lacks consistency

Yea, it's really laughable because Kal keeps getting put in against Flash, again and again. If you've looked at the games they're long and Kal has made decisions that put him in reach of victory, but as you said, Flash is Flash. I think it's a testament to how good Kal is because he keeps getting matched against Flash.

What other P's would you consider? Movie maybe. He did take one game off of Flash in the OSL finals. Stork? Perhaps. Jangbi and Bisu? If they ever got their respective acts together. Free and Best round out the last of the six dragons, but I never had much faith in Free as a player. I'm as much of an SK fanboy as the next, but Fantasy stands a much better chance than Best or Bisu. All the other P's out there stand about as good of a chance as a next, and they're only stealing a game by cheesing.


so far past 3 games kal has tried to play standard against flash. i really hope kal is saving up some really pimp cheesy abusive builds and trying to make flash underestimate him, because simply playing standard doesnt do him any justice. a kal vs flash final this osl would definitely be best possible finals. movie, pure or effort would be the worst possible opponents which is why im rooting against them

That's when Flash wasn't raping everyone and had that 20% win rate against dragons. Heartbreak Ridge was a difficult map for terran to push on too.

zero vs flash on match point last MSL was one of the most perfect zvt's i've seen with good map abuse. zero can play brilliantly, its just that he still lacks consistency


Zero doesn't lack consistency. He just can't win in tense situations. The deeper Zero gets in individual leagues, the less chance he has of winning series matches.

I don't think Flash would underestimate Kal since he's the only protoss that constantly gets to the late game.

match ratings are a very nice touch, keep up the great reports!
in relation to the poll, I read through these posts regardless of if I've watched the games or not (i'll avoid them until I've watched games I'm excited about though) though I'll generally skim the battle reports for key events instead of reading them fully.
also happy birthday Waxangel!

Getting to the late game against Flash isn't an achievement, he never loses the late game. Your chances of winning vs Flash start low and only get worse.

Another option: I don't read TL coverage. I did a 30s-1 minute skim.
