When this season started up, while everyone was hoping for that the Tyrant would get revenge on Flash for embarrassing him in the msl, or effort could find a way to the finals again so our beloved Child Labour Terran could show him what hard work means, I secretly prayed to wiccan gods and conducted strange experiments involving no less than four (4) manitees in my own way to make a different finals happen.
x 4
This final was a special one near and dear to my heart. It didn't really involve good looks, tyrannical opposition, or disfigured looking zerg players. It's true, a final wouldn't be a final without flash, so he can stay :

But who then, could his opponent be? Well, one badass muthafuck that would sooner stand around with his mouth open in utter defiance of his enemies as opposed to winning very often.

So the players are cast and the stage is set, MSL. Fantasy racing at an unstoppable speed towards a seat in the finals , going 16 wins - 7 losses (69.57%) in the last 30 days, reminding people he can win when he feels like it.
Flash, though having a bit of a rough patch being reminded he doesn't play by choice and has to or the evil man will take his family away, kicked it up and is gunning for his spot too. He is on a 12 game streak, which is mostly the top level terrans.
I see no problems here, my dream is coming true. Yes a humble and petty dream, but something to hope for.
*Then*
AHHH DAMNIT. HOW COULD I NOT HAVE NOTICED THEY WERE ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE BRACKET . THIS FEELS WORSE THAN THAT TIME I STUBBED MY TOE ON A ROOFING NAIL. HOW DID I NOT SEE THAT AT ALL!? WAS A BORN THIS WAY OR IS IDIOCY A LEARNED BEHAVIOR?!
Alas, broken, defeated.
(spoilers of recent games ahead)
But not without a shimmer of hope. With the WCG brings a whole slew of games that otherwise probably shouldn't happen, it's been either awesome amateurs getting friendly with the pros, or a veritable all star match. In this, our two heroes face off against each other in a Bo3 for a chance to go to LA.
*Then*
5 hours later,
Our two heroes face each other for a chance to win the MSL.
Rarely does a Bo8 happen in starcraft, as it just doesn't really make sense. But this, this is maybe better than a final with these two players. Maybe even better than my tattoo of nada's face on top of my face.
This is a Bo8
Since this is getting long and I really didn't bring enough pictures to hold your attention, I'm just going to decree my predictions.
Fantasy will feign weakness in the WCG and lose , then unleash builds created by him and OOV (and one by Hyuk for BM) and win MSL 3-0.
Or , Fantasy will waste no time in letting people know who is the gangliest of men alive, and will win the WCG 2-0 and MSL 3-0.
There is zero chance for Flash.

Edited: LOL.
Either way, I'm still sick of Terran's dominating.
|
Flash wants to go to LA, so he'll win WCG.
Flash wants to win MSL, so he'll win MSL.
|
LOL  Flash vs Fantasy for WCG and MSL are on the same  Day!
If someone lost both, he'd be so sad.

I'm going to disagree with you rather thoroughly.
Flash's so called "rough patch" has decidedly ended recently (he's at least 10-0), and his TvT is 8-2.
Fantasy however has lost three out of his Last 4 games. Fantasy's TvT has never been overly impressive to me - while it is solid, it doesn't have that dominating stature that Flash's TvT contains (see Fantasy vs sKyHigh on Fortress).
Unless Fantasy has some out of the blue, extremely cheesy play that relies on very odd timings and catching his opponent off guard, or if flash does stupid build orders, I can't see fantasy winning either of these two series.
Edit: Note - Flash is 7-4 against Fantasy.
|
Even as a Fantasy fan, I must admit that Fantasy's TvT is not up to the task of outplaying Flash straight up in standard games. Without mentioning Flash's superior mechanics, Flash's game sense is borderline map hacking. The one thing Fantasy has going for him is his variety and unpredictability in build order and abuse of map features. That, and Fantasy's vulture play is #1 in the world.
I also predict at least one 2 port from Fantasy. His wraith micro is sexy.
I believe that Fantasy will play against Flash straight up, to test his basics against Flash in WCG.
And unleash all of his anti-Flash builds in MSL. Let's keep in mind that Fantasy has been preparing for Flash since the playoff final. Is there is such a thing as a Flash sniper in the current scene, Fantasy is it.
Unless, of course, Fantasy mindfucks us all, and actually want WCG more than a MSL gold. Flash comes to WCG with the intention of playing just standard games and get fucked over by a combination of Boxer/Oov/Fantasy anti-Flash builds.

Flash is going to crush Fantasy in both tournaments. It's kinda hard to cheese against terran, much less against maphax Flash.
*cheap shot*

Let us time travel back and remember the last time Fantasy dished out an anti-Flash build:
PL R4, game 5:

That was indeed pretty funny how Fantasy left Flash hanging there.
Fantasy sniped Flash's scv building a forward rax. With tech delayed so much in TvT, it's essentially a free win. I don't see anything anti-Flash about it.

Well, Flash is so good in TvT that beating him in straith games is close to imposible in BoX. As a fantasy fan, and the one who likes flash as player (but who just hates his fanboys) i must admit this...I dont see much chances for Jung, and if he make some miracle and beat him, this will be one of the most impresive surprises ever.

Fantasy is terrible and I look forward to seeing him exit two leagues in the same day, 4-0 inc.

Well, Fantasy generally plays a pretty straight up TvT - and really the only style of play that I could see beating flash is something akin to ForGG's play in whateverthatmslwas. And the main reason that worked so effectively was the mind games behind it (ForGG's style was somewhat undefined at that point) - i'm sure flash will be on his game to be aware of cheesy play, which should nullify fantasy's style.

get ready for flash to shitkick some didiots
|
Flash will take both series, but will drop games to Fantasy.
2-1 WCG
3-1 MSL
He's not going to let Fanta counter him, even with crazy Vults.
