The two top ranked Kespa players went at it with more than just money at stake. The tension was thick as both players were putting their pride on the line in a best of five series in front of thousands of fans.

God of Mutalisks

The two players were first set to do battle on Blue Storm, with Flash deciding to open up with an extremely fast command center to counter Jaedong's twelve hatch build. As they approached the mid game, Jaedong very quickly took control with absolutely sickening mutalisk micro, simultaneously destroying Flash's economy and army. Jaedong opted to keep massing mutaslisks instead of switching to Lurkers, and pummeled Flash into oblivion from the skies, quickly forcing a surrender from the number one ranked Kespa player.

Clean Sweep

Jaedong continued his excellent usage of Mutalisks into game two on Othello, where he once again wore his Terran opponent down with devastating harassment, causing another swift and easy victory for the Zerg player. Game three on Katrina was perhaps the closest game for Flash, managing to defend fairly well and even showing sparks of victory here and there. However, he was unable to keep enough units alive, losing many marines to Jaedong's guardians, and possibly even more Science Vessels to scourge. In what was the longest and perhaps closest game of the series, Jaedong still managed to win with relative ease.

Jaedong - Next number one?

Despite a rather unbelievable loss to forGG in the MSL finals, Jaedong has perhaps gained some redemption from his peers after defeating the monster Flash and taking home a big wad of cash. With champagne in hand, Jaedong celebrated his well-deserved victory in the best of fashions as Tasteless signed off.
