Flash wins around 70% of his games vs zergs, so if they play 1000 games, he would lose 300. It's not hard to imagine that 3 of those losses can come in a 5 game sample, even if it's unlikely.
That's career-wise, but since asl 1, flash is 14-4 (78%) vs zerg, and that includes playing jaedong. 22% chance for hero to win means he's winning only 1 game, and I think that's generous, he is no jaedong.

As much as I want to see a good finals for once, this'll be the outcome. Flash might have lost that OGN showmatch to effort, but this'll definitely be another one sided stomp by flash.
"equivalent to Patton rolling his tanks through North Africa" - this uncalled war reference is really out of place here. sad to see none of the editors found this at least a bit disturbing...
Should i guys remind you what Mind said before facing Flash in ASL interview. "whoever wins this wins the whole tournament" So if Mind was certain that his skill is wining him the tour if he beat Flash, then how about the real Boss?
People are too fixated on stats. This is a televised offline event. Flash doesn't lose these. He just destroyed the best protoss in the last round, he's definitly not gonna lose against an A-Class Zerg..

I don't think anyone truly believes hero will win. Predicting such outsider to win is, though, a good strategy to win praise. if you guess right, you're a prophet, if you guess wrong, nobody remembers or gives a shit.
flash can only lose if he dicks around, and he has no motives to do that. if he leans on the conservative side of play, it will lead to a stomp of 3-1 at minimum.
That said, I would enjoy if hero by some chance wins for the purpose of raising the spirit in the SC community. Flash's invincible aura is making his winrate even higher. A chink in the armor would make people play more boldly / with more confidence.

Really? Why though? Hero has historically been terribad in ZvT for his entire carrier. Why should that change now? And even he had great ZvT it would still be very tough against Flash's ZvT. I don't see him take a game here... Maybe one on a fluke. So 3-0 or 3-1 Flash...

Perhaps it's inconsiderate to the Nazis and fascist Italian forces who got rolled in North Africa.

ah yes, I should have been warned to have my sympathy for Rommel and the Nazis and their sympathizers here on teamliquid. My apologies.

Hi
No seriously, he probably meant the war reference in general?
I like believing in underdogs etc. But Flash is something else. A god. It's stupid to think hero will win more than 1 game. Probably from an aggro build on a map that favors it, if hero manages to win a game. People saying Flash will lose don't believe in science lmao. Except the writer, he's just trying to hype the one sided match this will turn out to be. Respect for that lol

gdi dude dont give me a scare lol.
I mean I guess. But I thought the analogy was pretty apt. It's a game about war and especially FlaSh vs Sharp is a game about tank count for a good portion of it.

Hah
Well, I don't mind the reference. I don't think referencing war events as a comparison for dominant/glorious play in a game is what I would do because I'm a pacifist and don't think it really fits in any situation but I don't think one should be offended by it.
