Look at his games 1 and 2, I think he can play like that and still take the dong down. He just needs to work at his early midgame which has been lacking abit lately... | ||

The mistakes he made would have lost him those games against the dong. Talking about 1 before the re. Also, can we drop the b-word already?? | ||

So, a drone got into his base... its not really something hard that needs to be fixed. | ||

1. Winner of MSL 2. Loser of MSL 3. Effort 4. Kal 5. Calm rest can go any way, but no way does Flash deserve #1 if he loses both finals. Kal, Calm, or both should be dropped out of the top 5 if STX loses to SKT. | ||

I'll post my remarks in a spoiler because, well, most of this discussion going on right now should be spoilerized and I hope the admins to decide to give some warnings to some of you... + Show Spoiler + Right now, Flash is still the clear #1 on the next PR and unless JD massacres him, that will still be true. This is a mark against calling him bonjwa, but if he beats JD (especially if he can do so convincingly) we might be able to ignore that. After all, JD is the true rival, the true threat to Flash's coronation as bonjwa (I actually like Effort more than JD, but it's a fact that JD's stamp on Starcraft as a Zerg gamer is only matched by Yellow and Savior). What Effort has done is secure a top 3 position, possibly even #2, and potentially, hypothetically, a #1 if both JD and Flash suddenly decide to play like utter shit (chance of happening? very very low). Anything else would be wrong. | ||

With a win against Flash, Jaedong would have a BETTER record than Flash over their last 30 games. That combined with a head-to-head win and Flash's lack of titles should put JD #1. | ||

He was doing pretty decent in R1 and R2. But after losing to go.go twice, he slumped hardcore. | ||

Anything else would be wrong. I agree with you that Flash is the #1 player unless Jaedong really shows that he is the BETTER player during that series and not just win like Effort did. Imo reaching both finals and taking no gold is more impressive than taking a gold. However then you must look more than a month back. The fact that the players try SOO hard to get an early game advantage vs Flash proves that they think it's really hard to win a straight up game vs him. I just don't know if the PR will reflect on who actually has more skill or who wins and gets the results for this month. Coz if it reflects who gets the job done and Flash loses both finals I can't really defend that. Seriously people shouldn't read PR if they don't want games spoiled. Ever. | ||

IMO we should put Flash at N1 and his monitor at N2 because it is the only thing that can beat flash in a stright up game . I'm sorry I was unaware that Jaedong got 6 SL titles this month. My mistake.. | ||

It's hard to deny that Effort got a 4-2 lead head-to-head vs Flash this month and a starleague gold. | ||

Most Flash fans are agreeing that if JD wins the finals he deserves #1. It's pretty incredible that someone can make 2 finals simultaneously (and 4 out of the last 4 finals) and not be #1, but Jaedong has been playing so well and deserves the benefit of the doubt given his overall aura and legacy (which in my opinion should contribute to your "power" for their rank) But as for Effort, it's not just your record but how you win the games. If you really think Effort should be above Flash for going 4-2 against him while getting crushed in both games that he didn't get a gigantic early game advantage in, well, that's just ridiculous. I'm not trying to discount Effort's great play to get those advantages but come on. Savior once got crushed in a final 3-0 and retained #1, and he deserved to stay there. Circumstances dictate that JD should get #1 if he wins the finals but there's no way Effort should be above Flash. | ||
