EPTThere was a blog "I'm scared for Flash" where I expressed my opinion, but would like to take it to the masses again right away. SO why somebody likes Flash or Jaedong? feel free to share opinions.
This was my original opinion:
"Yes, being a JD fan is tough. Being a JD fan, when he plays Flash is f**ing bloodcurdling. When I watch JD play I always, like, need tons of heat pills, to maintain clear mind for the game. Now can you imagine how devastated was I after previous MSL 3-0 and last 3-2. I was raging, angry and furious and then I became just sad. What came to as an obvious fact after all their games, was, it was a veteran-knight fighting with a perfect steel machine, that was made for killing. There was nothing in JD game that looked convincing enough for him to win, he was like trying so hard to grasp the edge of not to fall, but still always getting behind, outpaced.
Why I like Jaedong? Is maybe because he's so damn like any of us, - furious when you lose, feeling of revenge, die-hard and then come back, always giving a hope. Its like watching a good old movie, where a hero is beaten and when hope is lost, then finds strength to stand up and win, this trick always such a cliche, but it always worked, and we believed, we wanted it to be this way, because its always like me and you. I know that many of JD fans will understand me, I like Jaedong, because he can lose, he can lose like chit, totally overwhelmed, like I lost a 100000 times, but then he will stand up and destroy everything, and give us all a hope, that anything is possible if you are determined enough! You know, its so encouraging, so human-like, this is why I'm his fan.
I am sure that Flash will always lack many fans, more from a phycological point of view, people will first shout "Yeah! you're the greatest!!! Yeah, you showed them!!!" but soon they will do want to see your fall, they will want to see you lose and being destroyed, because, well, we a people, it is the greatest truth about everything we are, being perfect in everything isn't a bad thing, but it leaves you with nothing. It leaves nothing but content in your heart, but only a dead heart is content.
The upcoming finals will be this human statement for me, and for many fans too, statement that perfection and cold calculation is nothing before a determined heart. (In no way do I mean that Flash has no feeling and etc. that many may think I am.) It just how I feel about JD and his rivalry, that in some way my rivalry as a fan, I want it to be a statement of an ordinary willing human in front of the of the inevitable, and I will be by your side JD."
