What are we going to call them?


the same thing we would have called free had he 3-0, 3-0 his way to the finals: nothing, since it ain't gonna happen

I would figure PR#1 for Jaedong, because he has the history of greatness (that another consecutive win would continue) to let him dethrone Flash, even after Flash's wicked dominance, and PR#3 for Effort, who despite playing awesome for one month and awesome one year ago does not have a similar history of dominance/greatness/accomplishments, and therefore should not push past Flash in one month even with a 3-0.

That's speculative, of course... it would be very surprising if Effort and Jaedong went undefeated this month.
My strategy is to fork people.

Would you guys please stop wildly speculating please?
Jesus, Jaedong is not even in the finals yet. And you can bet your ass Flash isn't going to lose 3-0 to EffOrt after their last game. If anything, it will keep him from underestimating EffOrt.

And what is the least interesting/important and the most annoying are the never ending "who's gonna be called what" questions and speculations........ Just call your favorite player whatever the fuck you want.

lol it is funny how we all act like Jaedong is already in the MSL finals, but let's be honest... Jaedong will win the semis against Calm.

If Calm advances to the MSL finals... I'll take a temporary ban. (*gulp*) I have faith in Jaedong

Effort is going back on the PR next month regardless of the outcome of the OSL final.

Save for a 0-3 rape of course.

Pretty excited for the OSL finals after CJ v.s. KT.

I feel like effort deserves PR regardless of if he gets raped or not because of his sheer good performance before OSL finals (plus making the finals in the first place??)

Effort should of course get a high place no matter what happens in the final. He's gone on a sick win streak, reached the OSL final and beat Flash in PL in a convincing way. He's back. Ya sure, he was horrible in the beginning of this season, but after the tiebreakers he's been kicking ass, and it's not like he's some random noob like MVP, he has shown in the past what a monster he can be. And I mean, I'm pretty confident Flash would 3-0 pretty much anyone (except for JD of course). IMO losses against Flash should not be taken into account all that much.

Btw, I hate Effort.
I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.

After watching both of Flash's losses yesterday I'm not that worried about Flash.
It seems like he lost two games where he got really abysmal openings.

I don't want to take away anything from the winners, they played good. But as a terran myself I know how hard it is to win games after such openings. 1rax FE completely delayed and valk opening + first dropship sniped (by scourge ment for valk) is just really, really bad openings.

I'm sure Flash realized this even though he looked really dissapointed.
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

well both times CJ mindgames 2 - Flash 0 and in the finals against Movie Flash was behind in BOs all the time too.

So if CJ manage to achieve the same feat in the finals again this will be a very hard fought golden mouse. No 3-0 rape at all.

I am not saying Effort will beat Flash, just that Flash will surely have to spend his best builds against Effort which is going to leave him wide open for Calm/JD.

Well I'm not sure you can pull mindgames in a bo1...

Both effort and snow played very well indeed, it's going to be really hard to win both leagues. But after reading the live report threads and the "how to beat flash" thread without having seen the games I didn't get a clear view of what was really going on.
Now that I've watched the games I'm not at all surprised Flash lost those games.

It was like the Hyun game. Opened up very well with an advantage, and played incredibly well to stop Flash from wresting it away from them with his nearly impeccable general skill. It's what separates Effort from, say, Kwanro, who had the exact same advantage one time and blew it away.
