And that was a great sign of respect, neither JD nor anyone else managed to get a fistpump out of him, and he did it because he knew that he has to play his very best to beat calm. Respect? Maybe he fistpumped because you know he reached the finals of a starleague for the first time in a long time...something that is much overdue. I've seen Flash play more flawless TvZ than he did vs Calm, you're reading far too much into a simple fistpump | ||

Jaedong shouldn't of just relyed on the sunkens and just use drone ling to delay him and morph sunken then. I don't just watch the game. I play the game everyday. I look up to flash and try to interprate his strategies into my play. I studdy all his VODs until i know his exact build. I use his strategies on iccup everyday and also so happen to have used this 7 rax more than 50 games. Most of you guys didn't even notice it was a 7rax until days after the actual match. I know the scenario that will occur when you get into that situation. You will have 20 seconds to get that bunker up, not 5 seconds. And zerg will lose alot more than 4 drones if he wants to fight marines for 20 seconds. What I'm trying to say here is that if flash didn't win that, he fucked up. It was not jaedongs job to to something spectacular. I agree that he could have dealt with it better, but he couldn't have won. Not vs flash. What he could have done, is to target the scvs with lings and drones and let the sunkens finnish the bunker. However he would be so far behind that he couldn't have won vs flash. Thats the only move that could have saved him for a longer game, he didn't do it. Jaedongs strengths have never been to adapt to new builds. He shouldn't now suddenly be punnished for it. | ||

Think about his game vs FBH, he was jumping around like crazy -- because of how tense it was -- after he won. I don't think respect factored into more more than an expression of relief. Not that he doesn't respect these players, but that's not the immediate thing on his mind after winning a series of rough games. | ||

And Plexa judging Calm , Zero , Jaedong and even Effort's ZvT based on playing Flash is just stupid because they will all probably demolish any other terran in a series . There diffrence in skill's can't be compared based on how well they did against Flash . | ||

The universal yardstick rule with Flash doesn't come off to me as a convincing way of ranking zvt play considering they only played 2 games and one of them was a bunker rush. There's so much variance in programing right now that I really wish that Flash and Jaedong had played a best of 7 or something so that we could get a feel for who had better late game play. Sadly, the games ended too early.  | ||

This is a about who play better, and Zero have played very well al the month. He had a difficult calendar with many matches and top-opponents and when He loss, he played well. Calm or Kwanro were more mediocre overall. Stop seeing only results statistics. | ||

Flash has not lost a single game that mattered during the entire season; 2 losses in BoX's that he won anyway, 2 losses in PL where he went on to win the ace game himself and 1 loss in the OSL groupstage where he advanced anyway.  BONJWA! | ||

I check through other bonjwas results and I dont find this kind of domination anywhere. Even in this time, when everyone is so good he's able to dominate harder than anyone has before. I just hope he goes on to win both SL's so we can end the discussion. 2400 ELO. 70% total win%. racestreaks everywhere. | ||

I'm not 100% sure on Movie's position, I really really love the guy and I'm looking to him as the new inventive protoss, but his play hasnt been all that solid yet, so the current ranking might be a bit high. Completely agree on Calm tho =) | ||
