Global season final has more price than regional. Though I still think the price is too low for WCS Korea.
I know Flash is the best BW player but stop hyping him as if he was fresh off from an OSL victory. Dude hasn't won anything in 2 years just like July was in SC2 (2008 OSL champion playing SC2 in 2010).
No doubt Flash was still doing well without winning anything since he was elimnated by the eventual champions during the last 2 OSL's . Still results speak louder than words.
Code A is guaranteed to have a few heart breakers MKP, Jangbi and Life in the same 3 man brackets As well as Fantasy, Flash (and Avenge, which I hope doesn't make it)

Difference is that Flash was still tearing it up in Proleague and was constantly making it to ro4 and ro8 in the starleagues. July almost randomly won an OSL in 2008. He wasn't really a force in proleague during that time and he disappeared just as fast as won that OSL.
Disappointing I gotta say...Parting making it out over Flash and more importantly, Life, pretty much cinched the whole shebang for Innovation. Anyone else that has or will make it out of the other groups can take Parting on a bad day, he'll go down in a blaze of disappointment to any of the zergs left or yoda or sOs who is way smarter and stronger than he is. And then we'll watch Innovation mechanically and precisely pick everyone else apart with his characteristically perfect play.

Yup. Because Life and Flash did so much better vs Innovation. Oh wait...
sOs and Rain already beat Innovation, and we don't know whether it was a good or a bad day (for Rain, it was at least an okay day). There's no proof that he has already won this, and even if he does win it, there's no proof that Life or Flash would have fared any better against him. Actually, not only is there no proof of it, there's actual evidence against.
Innovation has looked about this good in previous seasons, yet he hasn't won one yet. Most code s players can take out other code s players one day. Life vs Parting is proof as they traded series wins. Innovation could have beaten Life in this group to lose to soo next round. Unlikely, but it happens.

Agreed, i think innovation is the best player in the world right now, but he is just slightly ahead and we don't have that one player yet, that simply rolls over anyone, like flash was in 2010-2011 in bw.

correction: we don't have that player anymore because of a very unfortunate wrist injury.

Soulkey (together with/after Life) is imo the best zerg right now. Could easily see him make a deep run this tourney, so don't give up yet! Symbol and Roro are very strong as well, but SK is a level above imo.

If you mean MVP then no he wasn't that one player. Anyway even without wrist injury he wouldn't stand above everyone else now. It's possible that we might not see Flash's level of dominance from anyone ever again due to the more volatile nature of SC2 as compared to BW.
