Durp, that's a lot longer away than I was thinking it was (was looking at semi-finals, I think). That's probably too long, oh well. | ||

I'm confident Jaedong can win in the osl, he will have something he hasn't had in the last three msl finals: a map that favors zerg. I'd still say jaedong is the "underdog". the osl is flash's to lose imo. | ||

Zergliner is just going to turn it into a 3-1 for Flash as long as Jaedong refuses to do some pool first builds | ||

There cannot be any excuse for being so predictable with his 12 hatching. I am not blaming Jaedong for the last game, I am blaming him for the the first two games of the new finals. Being unpredictable is also a skill and Jaedong massively failed at that, he just always goes 12 hatch and thus it was easy for Flash to steal a massive number of wins with Eco Cheese and without a doubt he has proven that no Zerg can hope to beat him after he got away with a 14CC (it worked ONCE for Effort with the Ling allin but that just won't happen again). Therefore Flash clearly deserves the win and thus the #1 spot at PR. There is no reason to delay the PR at after the OSL finals since that happens in the middle of September and has nothing to do with this month. This month was all about the MSL and Flash took it. | ||

Even more insane is that Jaedong did let Flash get away with it 6 times. There cannot be any excuse for being so predictable with his 12 hatching.

Scout-into-14-CC is perfectly manageable if you open 2 hatch muta or 3-hatch-before-pool. Unless the map has easy complete wall-ins, difficult expansions for Zerg, and becomes progressively more Terran favored as it goes into the late game. Then it kind of blows for Zerg and goddamnit JD should've 4pooled. For the first two games. | ||

If you don't delay it, then 4 players will be the only ones affected. Not really much you could write about. | ||
