at the rate flash is going, i doubt he'll lose to jd tonight
And then looking at the games after tonight's epic match, the odds are stacked up against JD for PR #1. Just look at his last two matches for this month: a ZvP against Movie tomorrow, and then a ZvT against Sea a couple days later. Neither of them are pushovers, and both have been improving alot and doing extremely well recently; both are arguably one of the current top 3 for their respective races.
Now look at Flash's remaining matches; all he has left this month are TvZs, it's all needs to practice. And against Zero, Hogil and s2 nonetheless. Like, just look at it. Zero isn't exactly known for his ZvT. And Hogil and s2? roflmao
Unless JD completely dominates Flash tonight, Flash crashes/plays mediocre in the his other games afterwards, and JD suddenly starts raping everything again (basically completely exchanging their current situations), I don't see why JD should be #1. Even if a more moderate situation occurs, in which Flash starts doing a little worse than before, and JD improves a little bit from what he's doing now, you still have to take into account their earlier games this month, where Flash clearly has demonstrated better results.
Basically, I'd personally give a 80% chance of Flash being PR #1, a 15% chance of JD being #1, and a 5% chance of them both magically failing epically, with movie or some other shit suddenly raping the hell out of all the existence of SC and thus forcing riptide to make him #1 for this month.

Well, I guess that settles that.
|
Damn, oh well. There's always next month.
|
Movie/Calm/Stork - all three viable for #3!
|
Flash is 13 points away from breaking 2400 ELO... something that I'm pretty sure everyone thought was impossible. O_O
|
Well Stork is out of the #3 race.
|
Shine for PR. He's probably the #3 Zerg right now after Effort and Calm.

That game didn't show any of their skill though. But i still think flash would have been nr1 even if the games were draggen out and jaedong won 2-1 in an even bo3.
I don't uderstand how some can't think it can be debated.
When a player is about to break 2400 elo something is up if he's not nr1 when the guy under him is around 2300

Had JD won 2-1, he and Flash would have had about the same ELO.

Flash gonna be the first player to break 2400.
|
Flash is a monster... wow.
If he beats Zero, hogil and s2 I don't know if he can break 2400 though. The latter two are pretty low on ELO so he's probably only gonna get like 2-3 points max.

hogil and s2 will give 1 point each and Zero 2-3 max.

Yeah but flash is the one who had almost 2400 before that, such high elo drops fast.
Jaedong got utterly destroyed in the first game due to a mistake he made so unless jaedong would have completely destroyed flash in standard length games with no easy mistakes from flash he should stay at nr2.
For example, spoilers about the game
+ Show Spoiler +Had flash made that rush and lost and then made a similiar thing the next game, would you have placed JD above him? i wouldn't have.

Why not? Being in two leagues > one, having only one loss > having four.
There would have been no logical reason not to put JD as #1. And especially if Flash lost those games in that matter. (it would have meant Flash is too scared to play JD straight up)
The winner of their bo3 was destined to be #1. Flash won, so he gets #1.

i guess we just disagree then... people are always too harsh on flash imo.
|
Shine deserves to be in the top 5, regardless of hataz
|
Flash made Jaedong look silly both in a straight up game and with strategical play. No1 no doubt. By far.
