Getting burned out by being retardedly overworked is the only thing that can stop Flash from keeping up his extreme domination. I hope KT doesn't play him. They're still in first place IIRC. Even Flash would struggle with that schedule. *crosses fingers that KT coaches aren't completely stupid* | ||

It's either burn out Flash or Flash sacks one of the leagues imo. Flash is already saying how tired he is for the past weeks. It won't go better till the end of May. | ||

Losing to Baby would've been worse for Flash, as it would've made him seriously reconsider his TvT. This was pretty much the best case scenario for him. | ||

I always saw Flash as this cold, calculated and calm killing machine, that would destroy anyone piece by piece slow and steady. The image of an angry Flash that get's emotional and anctious is a little concerning to me  . He also said in his recent interviews that he tried to rush his wins, also something that might not be a good decision, who knows, he probably has his reasons. | ||

It's easier opponents and TvT is a MU where I think Flash can just cruise on his superiority and win without too much preparation. Plus he reached both finals last year. Two golds is still very much possible. Last season he was lucky enough to not have his schedule overwork him, and he didn't practice vs. Midas which is why Flash lost to him. That said not practicing TvT might be the best move so he can get his Golden Mouse. | ||

I'd imagine they're giving him a break in PL against samsung, where they'll just play another zerg and probably take a loss in ace match. | ||

So I really doubt we'll see double flash this season. And I have long accepted that Flash is the most dominant player of all time. | ||

Getting burned out by being retardedly overworked is the only thing that can stop Flash from keeping up his extreme domination. err, passive-aggressive much? lol Jaedong focused for proleague finals much more than he did for the OSL in August. In fact, he didn't really practice for his finals against yarnc because of the free agency nonsense.There was no need to bring him up. Pulling a JD might more accurately mean "winning LWWW-" or beating an opponent after losing in an earlier encounter. You're absolutely right though. Flash should avoid getting burned out. He's still so good that I think he can win games at this point, perhaps even titles, relying on his game sense alone with minimal practice. Based on his competition in the OSL, it might even work out better for him to focus on his series against MVP. He's almost guarenteed the Golden Mouse, unless Kal gets to the finals. Then he's only very likely to win it.

Two golds is still very much possible. And flash is also better relative to everyone else than the Dong was back then, too. | ||

I'd imagine they're giving him a break in PL against samsung, where they'll just play another zerg and probably take a loss in ace match. It surely is not impossible for Flash to break MSL Ro8 and OSL Ro4, but how do you think Flash looks like after that? Remember how JD looked towards the end of the season or Flash during WL last year? It took Flash six months to recover from that SL slump and Jaedong was lucky enough to finally get a break. I think if he manages to win both bo5s it will be the end of Flash's dominance. He might stay best player, but no more winning 80% of his games. And considering Flash wants to get the PL gold medal for KT at all costs I think he will skip practicing for one bo5. | ||
