I do believe that this was the confirmation we needed that Hydra was ready to play with the big dogs. And, to be honest, his Power Rank now looks too low in retrospect. If he wins MSL, he will be the player who I will consider to have had the best season overall, yet he has not broken into the top 5 on Power Rank yet. I do not mean this as a criticism of Flamewheel. His placement of Hydra was logically sound. It's only in hindsight that Hydra looks to be Effort 2.0. | ||

If Hydra wins MSL he definitely deserves a top 3 spot. But first he needs to win the final... | ||

Jaedong hasn't been this far down since November/December 2008(Out of both leagues, mid->low PR placement). This may be the low point of his career if you throw in his recent Bo5 losses. | ||

First Flash in the ro32, then Bisu vs Stork in the ro16 and finally stork fell in the ro8 leaving only zergs The worst part about it was that Flash was knocked out by Terran scrubs so I can't whine about imbalance. Oh well! Seriously though, I'm convinced that Flash would have made it to the finals if he hadn't not taken his Ro32 opponents seriously. | ||

Also much like this MSL, the highlight was in the Ro8 (Iris vs Bisu, Snow vs Jaedong). | ||

Game 5 definitely still is my favorite TvP, I swear Bisu threw the kitchen sink at Iris but somehow Iris pulled through. | ||

Calm vs Jaedong was an awesome series. And iirc Kwanro vs Iris pretty interesting. This MSL Hydra vs JD was pretty good. The real gripe I think is that there are just too damn many ZvZ's. No Terrans at all in the Ro8 either.  | ||

Naw man, we have BISU for that. Stork once in a while too. But you are right about terran being an evil. Ah, I really hope JD can bounce back from this. Today we'll get to see. | ||

The Elo page is pretty exciting to look at right now as a Flash fan; he's #1 in all categories and he's currently peaking in two MUs.  Can't wait for the next season of Starleagues to begin. | ||

But TBH, he really should not have beat Mind last night. That was one of those TvT's that isn't fun to watch. If I could have teleported through my monitor and into Korea I would have punched Mind in the face and started playing for him. I. Would. Have. Punched. His. Lights. Out. God! Flash played okay, but nothing spectacular. It was Mind's loss. Had he rushed his vultures into Flash's main when he had the chance instead of retreating them back into the line of fire (losing half his vults for only 1 gol) he could have taken 10+ SCVs. Had he moved his tank line at 12 just a tiny bit to the left he could have denied Flash the center GAS expo at 12. Had he moved his tank line at 6 up just a tiny bit he could have at least denied Flash the ability to put an extractor at the center GAS expo at 9. And yet despite all of that he was winning handsomely up until he let Flash's drop into his base and then did a piss poor job defensively. And then he eats the EMP and instead of pressing when he has BC numbers advantage he lets Flash build up. And his BC's were totally uncoordinated with his gols. Embarrassingly uncoordinated. And at the big BC battle he had like 4 BC's just one screen length to the south, just sitting there, having popped out of his starports. Jesus. Well, at least it was funny watching how badly Lucifer got his ass raped. Prison sex with a 16 incher. | ||
