Wow I never knew that not counting the losses to JD Flash's bo5 record is as scary as JD's. Those two are really something else.
Jaedong's Bo5 statistics:
vP 7-1 vZ 2-1 vT 10-1 Jaedong's Bo5 stats are monsterous wow

What the hell is wrong with Sea btw, he is so incredibly high on ELO but doesn't manage to get an overall win, does he?

Unfortunately this is true. But I hope that Flash will prepare different starts for OSL and MSL. In the end the map pool is different and also Flash hasn't played TvZ for ages so he must have some aces in his sleeve. But it would be good for him if Jaedong plays lots of ZvTs in proleague especially in the ace games when there is a pressure to win so he has to show everything he has. Oz final three matches are vs CJ, estro, MBC. MBC is the only team with good TvZ terrans. Flash on the other hand has to play vs CJ, estro and Hite. CJ and estro are pretty zerg heavy. Even Pl games are against Flash. He will certainly be God Young Ho if he manages to win both finals. Well, he's actually God Young Ho just for getting there two times in a row.
I'm sure you would quickly drop this stance if he lost both finals and was 1-3 in 4 finals.

hard to deny effort is looking very good

EffOrt is no slouch, everyone should agree on that, and what with the time for preparation, the nature of the match-up, and the fact that he has been known to posses S-class ZvT, I can't imagine Flash will be able to coast like he did against our good-but-not-great protoss friends, Free and Pure.

1. Open mouth 2. Insert foot
+ Show Spoiler +No hard feelings, I'm just euphoric right now, and have made enough really stupid predictions to know that it means nothing. Looking forward to a great finals!

lol yeah yeah. we'll see how the finals actually turn out - hopefully flash doesn't go mech or throw away rines, hopefully effort doesn't drop on mines or throw away ultras - lots of sexy stuff in that game as i said in the thread - early scourge kills and tech switch were the ones i liked best

Getting to dual finals 2 season in a row is one of the most epic things ever achieved by a progamer, even if he would've lost all of them. Seriously.

That would be funny if Effort beat Flash and Jaedong lost. I wonder what that would do to the rankings.
But the opposite result is far more likely.

First person to say the 's' word + Show Spoiler +in relation to Flash should get a ban. Alright, he lost twice to an excellent player, and excellent preparation and execution. Flash is mortal, but he's also an excellent player, and a deserved #1 right now. CJ pretty much the only team that could've pulled that off.
That said, some excellent play from the junior CJ protoss and the senior CJ zerg.

Plexa = owned!!
I told you, Snow deserves at least CBNC!!

It took me one look at Flash's TLPD page to make me forget all about the 2 losses today.

Wow, i woke up to this! Too bad I can't watch the games live coz they start 05:00 or so... Seems to me like effort did good and flash surviving longer than he should after valk opening vs lurkers. kind of like kwanro, but effort>kwanro
This could be a great finals!

His TvZ, even in the prime of the last OSL run, still dropped a game to Calm & Kwanro in the respective bo5's Yeah, but Flash has stated in every of his interviews that TvZ is his most confident one. But yeah I always thought TvP is his best matchup (except during the time where he just turtled off 2-3 bases and waited for the dragons to mass expand against him) Probably a really big difference when you practice with Violet and Stats than when you practice with Firefist and Hoejja. I think that's why Flash believes his TvP is weak. He often mentions that he losses a lot during practice to Stats and Violet. And I can imagine he just sweeps through the KT Zergs. But I also guess that he practices a lot with people outside of his team so I guess he can judge his TvZ quite well. Source ? Imo he never said that during interviews, in fact, he only mentioned his winrate once (The 79-1 thingie)

During practice, losing isn’t infrequent but for some strange reason, during my actual live matches things always seem to work out. I do believe compared to my other matchups tvp is my weakest, but this might just be because my team’s protoss are very strong.

Since we have people who speculate that if Flash wins both finals he's gonna be God Young Ho.
What if both Effort and Jaedong go undefeated this month? (I know there is like a 0.1% chance Flash gets 0-3ed twice, but let a fanboy dream)
What are we going to call them?
