There is even a map named (2) flash right now.

edit: and I'm not taking a side in argument as I=Toss player and unfortunately Toss only pawn like crazy in SCII so... bye!

what? why does there need to be an elitist "i was there for the past" poster in every thread about modern players? do you even have something to say?

YEAH WELL when SC:BW came out I was in South Korea and I had the honor of watching a TvT on television where both players went mnm. The player with more medics won, lol. At the time I had no idea about SC but I thought it was a really cool scene so it's always stayed in my memory. Several years later I realized how roflstupid it was and how undeveloped the game was back then.

When it comes to Flash/Jaedong/Bisu/Stork, I've always personally thought that Flash had the greatest raw potential and was the scariest player when playing at the top of his game. But that's just a personal feeling and opinion.

Yeah. No one touches Flash either.

Even when Oov was dominating, July could still beat him. When sAviOr was dominating, he still had a tough time against GoRush/Hwasin.

What Flash lacks in comparison to the other bonjwas is individual league success. His domination in terms of statistics surpasses that of even iloveoov, he revolutionized TvZ and TvP, he perfected TvT, the mechanics of NaDa, the macro of oov, the game sense of sAviOr.

It's the titles that separate him from bonjwas of the past.

best has a different definition from most skilled.

without doubt, flash is the most skilled progamer since, but i would say the best would be nada, who had the longest reign

Sure NaDa had the longest reign, but was he as dominant as Oov? Was he has important to e-sports as BoxeR or YellOw? Was he as innovative as nal_rA? Did he have sAviOr's sense?

There is no "best" progamer. There are favorites. There are player on top of their eras. There are players who excel above others in one aspect of the game. There are players who revolutionized a match-up or perhaps an entire race.

Arguing over who is "best" is pointless. Everyone has a different idea of what is more important. Some consider BoxeR the best because of what he contributed to the growth of E-Sports. Some consider NaDa the best because of his success. Some consider Oov the best because his crushing dominance and macro revolution. Some consider Flash the best because he takes everything that made the previous bonjwas the "best" of their time and consolidates it into one ultimate weapon, yet he lacks league success.

For every reason you might consider some gamer the "greatest", they lack a quality that causes another to consider another player the "greatest"

It's an argument that, frankly, should be put to rest.

Well, while this thread is bumped, its worthy to note Flash broke his ELO AGAIN to 2435. Maybe its been a long time, but has ANYONE been this damn dominant before, at least in the pro league, for THIS long? He's just out of control.
