In-flight entertainment...

Today, we actually have a movie. Watch it on a tiny screen with some dinky headphones for the full Korean Air experience.

The movie is called: "The Best Game of 2010 So Far"
Starring: Gu Seung Hoon (Hiya), Yoon Yong Tae (Free).
Directed by: Hana Daetoo Securities MSL.

Yes, it's from our rivals over at the MSL, but this game is not only too good to miss, but it would be a crime not advertise it through every venue available to me.


Oh my God, thank you for recommending this match.
And here I thought I was watching good TvP in the OSL...
That was amazing. Everyone check out this game.

Uhm... Are the ratings for each match relative to the players skill?
If not, it's completely false.
Flash played far better than Pure so they can't both have rating 4 if it's not relative.

Since it's relative, it doesn't really say much :/
(for example flash's loss vs MVP would be something like MVP: 5 Flash:2 )

anyway nice writeup.
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

Hmmm, well if he wins MSL and OSL in the same season, then he'll be the first to ever do so... which gives him an extremely strong case to be considered bonjwa.

2nd Nada did it as well (although the MSL wasn't the MSL back then...)

thank you for the writeup!

we all know the MSL will do as much as they can to fuck it up, so no worries!

It's pretty obvious that you are a blind fanboy.


It's pretty obvious that you didn't read his post very carefully before deciding to call him out on it. Let's look at this statement in context:

Flash, on the other hand, is a step above bonjwa. =P [emphasis added]


When they meet anything can happen, however.


Since you had to actually delete the rest of his post from the quotation, I'm not sure how you managed to come up with the interpretation that you did. Something to consider anyways before you decide to accuse someone else of being a fanboy.

Jaedong has been dominating from about 2007- 2009 (now playing sub-Flash...except maybe in BO5...will have to see MSL finals to clear that point)

I don't think anything neared JD's play when Flash had a mini-slump

3 OSL
2MSL (maybe 3 soon)

1 MSL silver (4/5 finals win)

keSPA no1 for 15 months

most TL netizens do not recognise Jaedong was Bonjwa for a while (back in maybe end of 2008 and 2009)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flash has been dominating for a few month, had a mini-slump and played sub-jaedong for a while before that (though pretty near to the tyrant).

2 OSL( soon to be 3)
(maybe 1 MSL soon)

1 MSL silver (2/3 Finals win)
keSPA no 1 for 8 months

Most TL netizens think Flash is Bonjwa if he makes it past his MSL semi-final
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now if we want to be consequent to our judging of Jaedong for Bonjwa status, we need to have Flash do A LOT more then overwhelm everything (except our good friend Jaedong in A BO5)
for a few months.

If we grant Flash Bonjwa, we must say Jaedong was Bonjwa in end of 2008 and 2009

If not Lee ssang Rok is Bonjwa and i don't think anyone can argue/
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
granted I am a Jaedong fan but that was done mostly based on statistics so please don't counter-argue me with something like that

@swanized
Except you only bring up stats that favour Jaedong here...
Having like 100% winratio for a year and breaking all kinds of records is also something to be considered.

Flash is simply more dominating with potential dual back to back MSL+OSL finals coming up.

man Pure was soo close too. In both the second and third sets, Pure should have beaten Flash, but made a few small decisions like waiting for extra carriers and not attacking, which cost him dearly. I believe in Kal, though. He will be the downfall of the KT Hero

I think Kal is a strong player, but Flash can macro like a beast. Not to mention Tanks>All

(Would love to see a nuke. If I saw one, I might jizz a little).

I couldn't agree more. I was impressed (much more so than I expected to be!), but mediocre play from Flash is still a bit better than inspired play from a mediocre player.

Thanks for the interesting analysis, and I really enjoy this format! Keep up the good work! With any luck, the other semi-final will produce not only interesting games, but a competent competitor to Flash in the finals (I'm not holding my breath!).

I don't object to the 4/5s. Although, if I were Flash, I'd rather try to create risk-averse 4/5 wins than the chance of 3/5 losses or 5/5 wins. I think we can all remember a recent PvT series where the T had a substantial lead, and then repeatedly tried for wild 5/5 wins when he already had proven he could win standard, only to lose the series.
..Bears!
