▶ Commentator Lee Seung Won (from MBCGame) - Perfect setting for a 3:0 Flash victory.

This finals is very exciting for me because I always wondered when will I ever see these two play in a finals. The sheer thought of the top two players in the KeSPA ranking fighting it out was a mere dream, but now it's reality. And furthermore, I will be personally doing commentary, so I am preparing a lot for it, and I am hugely looking forward to it as well.

I predict Flash to win. Flash is unstoppable right now, and maps are helping him out even further. Match Point is being played twice, and I simply think Flash won't lose at all. I think the key map will be Ultimatum, played in the second set. However, I predict Flash will eventually emerge as the winner, 3:0 or at most, 3:1. Flash has a very high chance of taking this MSL, but should it get to the final set, Jaedong may have a chance. That is because Jaedong's mental strength and concentration grows exponentially as the series progresses, and his management ability is simply amazing. He's not called the "Master of LWWW" for nothing.

▶ Commentator Um Jae Kyung (from OGN) - Even the mighty Jaedong will have a hard time, because it's Flash he's facing.

I said this in a OGN show earlier and I'll say it again, but the most possibly exciting finals at the moment would be Jaedong vs Flash. This is because two of the leaders in the modern age - the "Taek-Bang-Lee-Ssang"'s Flash and Jaedong - are at their peak at the moment.

I predict a 3:1 victory for Flash. If it's Jaedong, he will be able to overcome any sort of map imbalance (TL note: Arena MSL lol), but still, it's Flash he's facing so it will be extremely tough.

Flash is on fire lately. But, if Flash has let down his guard even the slightest bit after his OSL victory, he may lose to Jaedong. That's how strong Jaedong is. Conversely, if Flash still hasn't lost his focus, he will be able to ride on the map imbalance and his current momentum to victory.

3-0 or 3-1 flash, I agree. I really don't see what JD can do. I predict that it'll be much like calm's series. 2 hatch mutas through the entire series with mixed results, mostly towards flash's favour. JD is going to pull out some desperation guardians as a followup, banking on his muta micro to protect his guardians but flash will be well prepared with 3 starports and perfect m&m positioning.

I want it to go all the way to game five, but sadly something tells me that Flash will stomp Jaedong 3:0 or 3:1. I still bet on JD though, I BELIEVE! Either way I'm hoping for some great games.
Please don't fall for any bunker rushes JD.

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK
this reminds me the final against Forgg...T_T

Well I hope for a 3-2 but not a 3-0 or 3-1, that would be sad.

vT is JD's worst mu, vZ is flash's best mu (according to himself) and this is going to be played on imba maps...great..
