In a Bo5, it's mindgames. In a Bo1, it's cheese.

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. I dunno about that. Flash has lately shown a scary ability to mind rape opponents in a Bo5. He's always been able to do this somewhat but his last Bo5's have shown just how much better he's gotten at it. In that department Flash is second only to Jaedong...assuming his mind games aren't a "3 time fluke" | ||

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. or kal if u disregard that its pvt instead of zvt not diminishing kal's other skills just that his pvt isnt enough to beat flash even with a massive advantage | ||

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. I agree, they weren't really mind games. More like, "we know Flash likes to play this way on this map so let's hope that happens and prepare for it". I wouldn't bet heavily on Flash going 1 Rax FE on Fighting in an OSL/MSL game, but for an ace match in PL (a game that isn't even guaranteed to occur and could be against an opponent of any race)? Seems like a good bet for his most likely build. I fully expect Flash to come out guns blazing in the finals with some different builds, kind of like how he dominated the mind games against MVP and free. There'll be at least one cheese, with the most likely one being on Great Barrier Reef which is an OSL only map as well as a weird map in general. | ||

When the dropship left Classic's base I was like "LOL it would be totally like 815 to lose from this position just because he's so bad. Oh well, KT is up 2-1 woot!" *single dropship kills 815's 12 o clock base" .... "Ok LOL 815 at least you still have a huge ass army and are teching to hive" *camera shows 815 still on lair* FMLLLLLLLLL. | ||

 One of the reasons I really love Snow is he doesn't go 12nex. | ||

Savior stayed on lair tech a whole game against a Bio terran player too during the qualifications for individual league. He went some type of hydra/ling build. (forgot if it was MSL or OSL) SAVIOR GOT ROLLED that game. | ||

You do realize that Savior was well known for his Hive tech play don't you? | ||

Flash and Jaedong - the most perfect players ever to play SC:BW. This final is the greatest thing that could have happened to a SC fan. | ||

Nothing else can do justice. Unless ofc both JD and Flash play horribly and Effort plays like a beast and 3-0s Flash.(i.e not going to happen) | ||

Imo a simple 1-10 ranking just doesn't do justice to Flash and Jaedong. And unless Effort really really puts up a incredibly huge fight leave #3 open again. | ||
