Don't you think the order of the possible answers influences the polls. This particular poll is definitely not a great example of a biased result, but I kinda noticed it in some of the previous ones. Would it be possible to randomize the order in which the answers are presented? Just a thought. edit : just to be clear, in a 'best to worst' scenario randomizing is obviously stupid unless you just reverse it to 'worst to best' half of the time. | ||

I would prefer a BO5 on good maps, and we get this split bo3 shit with the good zerg map being the last one, which is just one more sign that this epic encounter ends in a 2-0 trashing and 1million FLashfanboys orgasming and shitting half of the TL threads with it, and opening 20 additional threads and blogs about it, So i gone with the This sucks so much, I hate OSL. | ||

If Stork gets knocked out by Shine (wtffffffff) and it results in something stupid like Flash vs Shine finals, then GOD, WHY?!? JD and Flash appear poised to have another, more epic showdown in MSL, anyway. Probably a Bo5, there.

Map excuses are pretty poor form, here. Fighting Spirit Was 6-5 TvZ before JD vs Flash. Equal numbers of T and Z mirrors played on it. Heartbreak Ridge New HBR is too new to draw meaningful stats from, but old HBR was extremely balanced TvZ by the stats, and had more than twice as many ZvZs as TvTs played on it in PL. Eye of the Storm Zerg favored. If JD can't get a win on either of the first two maps, then he would have lost the series 2-1 even if Eye of the Storm was the first map in the order (and assuming he won on it), so it doesn't matter. | ||

His 4-game loosing streak before he won vs Peace? I'm not saying said player is bad, I really like him myself, but saying that he doesnt look as strong as the other said player confuses me abit. | ||

I think it really doesn't matter, game quality is the only thing that matters. And so far based on game one, I'm disappointed (but impressed). I still have hope for the other two games though..since the maps are better for zerg than fighting spirit. | ||

Sure, if they were on different sides of the bracket, maybe they have an opportunity to meet. But really, there are too many extenuating circumstances that could prevent a meeting. For example, Flash or Jaedong could get knocked out before even reaching the Finals/Semi-finals. Then, Flash v. Jaedong never happens at all. Just look at what happens in all the opportunities Bisu v. Jaedong could have happened. Most of the time, one or the other would get knocked out and deprive any chance to see the particular matchup. | ||

I wonder how could you miss my point this badly. I'm not blaming the maps for JD's possible failiure, what i say is this: We could have 4-5 games if that would be a correct bo5, now we have most likely 2, and if you take into consideration how JD blows away the first games 80%of the time, we're down to HBR, on which JD had been struggling lately, giving Flash the opporunity to take this series with less than 50 units lost. Maybe if we'd have a statwise Zerg favorable map as the 2nd on which JD won htis far, and HBR as third, there would be a really good chanse to see an epic 3rd game, regardless of the results (BTW quit throwin out the term Zerg-favored or toss-map or whatever, you clearly do not have a clue, if it'd happen that terrans win 5 games on it in a row, it would become a T map for you (And not only for you, i read countless time that X is a Protoss map, than 1 month later it ws a Zerg map, even in OSL writeups though i wouldnt swear on it). As long as you're not a pro analyzer use the stats with dignity and do not make conclutions. It might happen that indeed it is, but still, with 11 games on it i wont hurry to decide.) And i clearly don't like that, given the alternative. The fact that i cheer for JD and against FLash doesnt have to do anything with this. | ||

"Great!! JD vs Flash!! Match of the century!! But they should have changed the rules, and make it a BO5 and let them prepare for a month. Just for this one match..." option would have been necesary. | ||

I mean, Jaedong made a few poor decisions in that one game vs Flash but there's so many different things (even things like dumb pure luck) that factor in to one game that I think it's best to reserve your judgement on the state of a player at the moment :S Or rather, it's better to judge on the whole OSL instead of one game where he basically fucked up in a lot of different ways. | ||

Furthermore Flash said that he had prepared mainly for Jaedong's style and he later even apologized for disrespecting ZerO by saying this. Had ZerO opted for a muta build he probably would have been destroyed just the same way Jaedong was. On the whole however I have to agree that ZerO appears to be the stronger player these days. | ||
