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. I did not mean vs Yarnc, I meant the semi-finals. He had, just like Flash now, Bo5's in consecutive days and he, seemingly, focused a lot more on his games in OSL vs Fantasy than his games in MSL vs Calm. Flash should do the same thing; put focus on beating Pure so he can get the Golden Mouse. OSL>>>MSL in every single way. | ||

Meh, you Jaedong fanboys can boast that your guy has 5 Starleagues under his belt and is in a very good position to become the most successful progamer of all time along with Nada. We (the Flash fanboys) probably feel more envy than you guys do. | ||

So in that case Flash needs to win 3 games out of 4 against MVP and 3 games out of 5 against Pure. It's not a sure thing but I can think of nearly 10 players who I'd be confident in winning 3 out of 4 against MVP (in spite of his recent improvement) and 3 out of 5 against Pure in back to back days, so I really don't think it's going to be a problem for Flash.... | ||

Didnt hurt him last season, and Violet / Stats / fOrGG has taken over ace match duties, as much as oz is Hiya - JD (and to an extent Killer) KT is having more "Hiya's" who arent the actual ace player but someone who can pick the duty up... tempoarily. Also everyone has seemed to forget how many of KT's players that can suddenly play really well unexpected, Stats is the only player on the team who havent had a slump, Violet had tough games during WL, If Luxury started to not throw matches away and got "clean" again he would certainly make the team dominant. Remember Season 1 ? Yeah it wasn't pretty. | ||

Remember Season 1 ? Yeah it wasn't pretty. It's easy to say that KT's team is good when you have Flash who gets a sure win almost every match. KT without Flash would be lucky to just get the score to 2-2. KT is only a Oz with Flash. | ||

I'm not saying they're the bestest #1 team ever for all time without Flash, but it's not like Flash lacks backup. | ||

Oz has Hiya and maaaaaaaaaybe Killer if you want to stretch that one. I'm not saying they're the bestest #1 team ever for all time without Flash, but it's not like Flash lacks backup. Stats, Violet and fOrGG are all super unreliable. KT would probably be next to ACE without Flash. | ||

KT is only a Oz with Flash. Definitely not, KT is worse than that. Hiya has always been a very acceptable proleague terran, Lomo/Backho are dumb players but still good enough to win around 50% of the time, and Jaedong can take down anyone in the ace match. KT was useless in 08/10 proleague and they're already reverted back to their useless selves after an awesome round 1. Not a single KT player, except obviously Flash, can be expected to win and with the whole team showing motivational problems, they'd probably perform worse than ACE. | ||
