Proleague games which mean nothing when it comes to starleagues, you can ask Bisu about that.

And if I remember Mind got handled 3-1 in their BO5 so yeah...

If anyone is going to beat Jaedong in a Bo5, it'll be his teammate.

I'm expecting that ForGG's chances are much higher than Flash's chances had Flash advanced to the finals.

i wouldn't call it a massacre & big time. The 1st game, Jaedong tried a cheese sunk rush with 8 pool but that failed and that left him behind a lot and there is no coming back from such a huge economic gap

2nd game, I agree that Jaedong lost on this game fair + square but it really wasn't forGG's excellent skills that gave him the win, it was Jaedong's failure to micro his lurkers + flank that lead to his loss. More of Jaedong's micro mistakes than forGG's playing affected the outcome

3rd game, was on map Tiamat. A lot of people expected Jaedong to lose or have heavy disadvantage on this terran imba map.

New champion? I don't think so. Jaedong lost his weakest matchup ZvT to a teammate on Terran maps. I don't think thats very surprising. Jaedong still has monster ZvP and Best ZvZ. How many legends have forGG beat compared to Jaedong? Thats right. Jaedong is still #1 in terms of overall performance

Well he beat Flash, Sea, and Kal on his way to the final so id say new champion.

Agreed.. if we're gonna start listing how the players could have played otherwise I could just as well state that forgg didn't play his best either and you could'nt disprove it.. lets just stay to the facts? 3-0 is a pretty heavy message imo..

and Jaedong didn't beat those 3 previously in a BO5 either?

Not including those, but JD also recently eliminated Much, Shuttle, Hwasin through recent tournaments.

I don't think the current #1 should drop down to #2 just because he lost 1 set (a very important set but still)

Just because you're #1 in the world does not mean you can win every single games
