    Flash vs Jaedong

    I know there are at least a couple Starcraft progaming fans on these boards (Dezz, yaya, etc.) so I thought I should point out the best two players of the last couple years are finally meeting in a meaningful Bo5 final (MSL) tonight @ midnight PST. This could be ridiculously epic or ultimately anticlimactic, there is really no telling (Flash is capable of anything right now so its hard to know.) Anyways, if you catch some SC occasionally, this is one of those matches you might want to check out live.

    Some streams that'll probably work (stolen from teamliquid.net):
    # http://mbc.ferron.pe/
    # http://tv.zeroboy.net/mystlord
    # http://c.zeroboy.net/roffles - This one often has live text translations of the korean commentary

    Also, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, > http://www.bluegartr.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55020

    flash is going to win, my reasoning is simply that i have been impressed with flash this season and jaedong not as much.

    Yeah I think that's the consensus. Jaedong won a lot in the last seasons, and was a strong contender to keep it up, but he got knocked out of the OSL by none other than Flash (who went on to win). Now he's got a chance for a rematch to prevent Flash from accomplishing something no one has really done, simultaneously win both starleagues. Lot of history here, makes it all the more exciting.

    For an insane write-up on this btw, check this out:

    Flash will win, all the times hes been head to head with him, Jaedong seemed to completely lose his touch.
    Spoiler: show

    Flash just took the OSL, so hes on the way to win both this season!


    He's gotta be feeling good. Also there will be a stream + English commentary of the games going on. Here's a link to the info. I have to work tomorrow.... I GUESS ITS GONNA BE A LONG DAY!

    I find it funny that there aren't any followup posts in this thread given the giant mother of all clusterfucks that happened.

    Spoiler: show

    Game 1 - Jaedong
    Game 2 - Flash
    Game 3 - Game interrupted by someone plugging in a space heater, drawing too much power causing the computers to reset. At the point that the game was interrupted it absolutely could have gone either way, but Jaedong may have been very slightly ahead in economy. Kespa (Korean Esports Association) referee comes out shortly after the interruption and rules that Jaedong won that game, literally everyone is upset with this decision, especially Flash's father and KT Rolster. Lots of shouting and people walking out of the studio in protest for the better part of an hour until people agree to let the ruling stand and play the next game.
    Game 4 - Anticlimactic win for Jaedong.

    all other slants can fuck right off. this one seems to have his head on straight, although the fact that he lost makes me wish he would fall off a bridge

    awww fuck yea, i knew you'd make a thread sooner or later
    me and my bros think flash has like a 60-70% chance to take home the green, hes on a fucking roll atm and i bet my fucking balls that he'll keep this shit up at the final showdown
    maybe if he loses round1 then he might be a lil bit disturbed and be like nigga wut, but unlikely

    all in all, i hate jaedong anyway so gogo flash

    edit: oh shit wtf? came home at 3am today and its already over FUCK I SHOULDNT HAVE CLICKED THE SPOILER

    How terribly disappointing This definitely reaffirms my belief that this should have taken place in the OSL and not MSL. Better storylines (3 consecutive OSL vs 2 simultaneous starleague wins) and MUCH MUCH MUCH better organization and host (even beyond the fail blackout, hello2u virtual studio failed idea that even JD acknowledged was a huge let down).

    Stupid MBC, this was such a rare opportunity they were given and they fucked it up worse than imaginable.
