I really hope Calm plans something special for Flash instead of the whole "I'm just going to go 3-hatch and die" that every other Zerg has done lately vs him.

Movie/Shine is the most exciting to me, but I'm slightly curious about Flash's TvP

Flash vs. BeSt: red-hot PvT vs. red-hot in general

a matchup that is long, long overdue!

Very hard. I picked Shine vs Movie because Movie beat Zero who is good zvp, and Shine beat Stork who is amazing in general, and he's beaten Bisu and whatnot. Just want to see who comes out on top, a hard match to predict imo. Flash vs Calm should be neat because Calm was doing fairly well previously, and Flash is a monster. Watching Flash play the way he does is always neat, but a closer match would probably be more entertaining. Same thing vs Best, except atleast Calm is decent.

Is it true Best has a 100% win rate vs Flash?

Flash is 0-3 vs Best.

That being said they have all been Bo1's so it's not in any way indicative of how a Bo5 series will go between the two of them. With that being said I give the advantage to Flash and his experience with such series.

It helps Flash is playing amazing too.

In a way I think that shine vs movie will produce the most interesting games, but flash vs best will have a BIG extra excitement factor because this is the (atm) best player being tested in his weakest matchup it will just be so freaking exciting to watch, since unlike his tvt/tvz his tvp might still be a bit shaky.
If he wins this then I'm confident he can win both titles.
Flash vs Calm and Jaedong vs Stats should definitely be rather one-sided (as great as calm is) and hopefully light vs kwanro will be as well
It will definitely be nice to see light in the semis, if kwanro takes that away from me ill lose my mind.
Hwasin vs Kal could definitely produce some very interesting games though I expect Hwasins TvP to fail once more.

Flash vs. Calm, easily. The two best all-around players in the OSL, whoever wins it should win the whole shebang and will cement their legacy.

Seriously, Calm wins this OSL and he's royal road, MSL and OSL champion in quick succession and we suddenly have to consider his career as it relates to some of the all-time greats.

Flash wins this OSL and he's a 2-time winner and legitimizes his claim of "best in the game today".

Not only that, these are two extremely smart players who are going to bring the fire to a BO5. I'm sure each has at least 1 crazy all-in prepared and a few unexpected builds, and even if one player gets 3-0'd (unlikely) neither flash nor Calm tend to ever get rolled.

Another awesome factor is that each player tends to play to the others' weakness: Flash has insane multitasking, which is one of Calm's midgame weaknesses, while Calm has the ability to shift gears into unorthodox builds and timings early on, which tends to throw Flash off in a major way. I can't wait to see these opposing styles clash and whoever wins I wholly expect to bring home the hardware.
