The Averatech-Intel Classic finals are finally coming up this Sunday and it is one of the most anticipated matches of the year because of the finalists: Jaedong and Flash.
As we all know, Flash and Jaedong are the top 2 Kespa ranked players. With Flash’s win percentage at 66.8% and Jaedong’s at 67.5%, they will finally meet at the Averatec-Intel Classic finals to prove who the best Starcraft Player truly is. The Korean fans have nicknamed this final as the “LissangDaechup" which means “The Two Mr.Lee’s big match” in Korean.
Now, while Flash is a little bit better at head-to-head matches, Jaedong can still boast about how he had won against Flash at a best-of-five, which is going to be the same format as the Averatec-Intel Classic finals. It's gonna be a close call and hard to say who will win the game.
At the beginning of this year, Flash proved to be an amazing talent by winning the GOMTV Star Invitational and received prize money of $20,000. If he wins Sunday’s match, he will receive yet another $70,000 from GOMTV as his prize. His performance at GOMTV has always been top-notch so now the question is: Can Flash win this GOMTV Starcraft Classic Final and bring home the prize again? Or will Jaedong repossess his pride from Flash and reclaim his #1 Ranking position?
Flash stated, “I was unsatisfied in the first half of this year. However, I just got a great chance now because of the GOMTV finals. I’m also excited that I can have matches against Jaedong who I really wanted to meet at the finals and we can show an even performance” to which Jaedong replied, “I will win the GOMTV finals against Flash, who is one of best, to overcome my latest failures to win in the Proleague, and to maintain Kespa’s #1 rank as the player with the most-wins".
This is definitely a match you can't miss! The Averatech-Intel Classic finals will be live-broadcasted at KST (GMT+9) 18:00, Sunday, August 10 by our very own Nick "Tasteless" Plott. You can also enjoy the show at Sindorim Technomart for free.
