I firmly believe, and I have evidence to back it up, that Flash is currently (and has been for the last year) the best player in the world. What I mean is I think it will remain that way, unless Flash gets arrogant and plays like he did vs Best today (which reminded me so much of how he played back in 08-09 when he kept losing to S-class tosses). If he doesn't underestimate his opponents, and still has motivation and inspiration, Flash will get dual golds once again IMO.

Yup. JD was indeed stronger than ever last season (dual finals for the first time) but Flash still won both Starleagues by beating him. ^__^

Lotta people said that last season after he beat Jaedong in Hana Daetoo 3-0. Then Flash made Jaedong his Chojja.

I think TvZ is a bit too imba (and Flash obv is too good!). But if a toss can take out Flash, Jaedong will be back on the throne

Ugh, Jaedong's game against Stats was so messy. Stats didn't really play exceptionally, but Jaedong played worse than usual.
It really makes me start to think, "Is this the skill that made dual finals?" Because his near losses to Light and Stork made him look like the inferior player. No wonder he couldn't beat Flash.
Yes, he does still have his skill, and he showed a pretty amazing comeback in WCG. But after that he showed us that his decision making is a bit off this time around.
Did carrying his team take its toll on him? Because as it stands, I don't think he's even the favorite against Fantasy/Light/Bisu right now. Of course he still has his S class skill, but ever since that series with Kal in the MSL?, I feel like his decision making has been Fantasy-esque.

I think he played that game perfectly fine, he got shafted on the initial build (mutas\scourge vs mass +1 sairs) and had to spend a lot of time catching up and turtleing after that. Still he had a pretty much perfect defense, and was prepared for the drops before they even came and lost minimal vs them. Once he got his 4th base and the macro with it up and running he just rolled Stats.

I'll have to look at that in the VOD once it's out. Looked a bit messy to me, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention to it. The games against Stork were undeniably horrible and Light seemed to play better than him in the late game, and of course Flash beat him pretty handily.
Although I am quite disappointed in Jangbi right now and in January's dcision to send him.

I haven't seen the game yet so I don't know how Jaedong played, but I think he tends to be sloppy when he plays protosses that don't have any realistic chance of beating him (Jaedong - Stats: 6:0). In the games against Stork I think you fail to recognize how well Stork was playing - but it wasn't one of Jaedong's best series (he said so himself in the interview). When it comes to the series vs Light I disagree: I think Jaedong played very well and he beat Light at a time when a lot of people thought he had the best tvz in the world on maps that Sea said was impossible for zerg to win on if the terran played correcly. And losing against Flash isn't anything you can blame some one for imo...!
