I think Flash will win... but I want Effort to put up an 'effort' for the ages! OSL finals haven't been epic in a while....

Effort has this easy, 3-1 with the only loss to bunker rush.

CJ needs this and it'll happen.

I'm actually more excited to watch Flash vs. Effort than I am Flash vs. Jaedong, if you can believe that. Flash vs Jaedong? Whoever wins, no one will really change their perceptions of either player, it's a guaranteed battle of titans either way. But what if Effort beats flash? What if effort beats flash 3-0 in a surprise display of dominance and brutality matched only by bisu dethroning savior? Effort when he's playing well is one of the most dangerous players in the game.

Don't get me wrong, I fully expect flash to win. But I think it would be way more entertaining if Effort roflstomped him. I want good games, no stupid shit, and I'm definitely not rooting against flash -- but I do want effort to win.

EffOrt is going to show you all how its done.
Flash will play over confident, and skip shit like Turrets or Firebats or Harass and subsequently get owned.

One thing for sure, even if Flash 3-0 Effort, the games would still be exciting (not one-sided)

Actually, I kind of agree with this. CJ and Effort NEED this.
It's like, how the Saints needed to beat the Colts; without it, there's no meaning. Effort needs to win, and for that, he will win.

Also, I love action's play. If he could get his multi-tasking up a little more, he'd be GREAT, like, GGPlay in his OSL finals.

haha i really liked the reference to savior
it's very true, action is ridiculously good at the late game, although he seems somewhat inept at times

im hoping for 3-2 effort but chances are it's gonna be 3-1 flash.

Effort will need to go for a huge econ lead in every game and pray that flash doesn't bunker rush. Sure Effort has a shot, but come on...

This is going to be a good final, and we can all hope for a great final, can't we?


I hope for a great final, doesn't mean it's not a sub-par card.

I'm not concerned with hype for hype's sake.

What I meant is that I'm not even convinced it's a sub-par finals. It's certainly a better match (on paper) than the last two OSL finals.

I just don't think you can make that kind of an assertion so casually beforehand.

Sure FlaSh is the smartest prediction, but it would be Epic if EffOrt won a game

2 games on Match Point???? Flash is in trouble...
The probability of Kim Carrier getting all those predictions wrong is similar to the probability Flash loses a TvT. Kim Carrier MUST BE a genius. His only big mistake... STORK.

Yeah we all know how well Flash did a bunker rush against EffOrt last time they met.

Just to make sure, I just looked through all thirty OSL finals. Yeah, it's pretty much below average in terms of matchup parity, and somewhat below in terms of combined name value.
