Flash is widely considered to be the greatest Brood War player of all time, and also happens to be one of the most accomplished professional players to match his sky high reputation. However, there is one question looming over his head at all times.

How much of his success can be attributed to his choice of race?

There is almost zero arguments against the fact that the terran race has been the most successful race if you look at it from a holistic historical perspective.


I stopped reading after this.




Why though? What race has most OSL wins, highest amount of MSL wins, most proleague wins? In the History of BW at the absolute top, terrans have dominated most of the time. The only periods I can cite were this wasn't the case was pre-Boxer and 2006-2009.

So basically between 2001-2005 and 2010-2012 have Terrans been dominating.

And besides, it's a really interesting piece of work, I got wiser reading it.


Nina likes to pretend that BW balance is perfect.

Hey yo

Well, what's amazing to me is that he is still so successful even after having a NASTY arm surgery. I saw the pick of his arm... and couldn't find it, sadly, but it was FUCKED UP. It's not that he's terran, he just cares the most, and is also very naturally talented, and was a wunderkind... Kind of like a mozart of sc that grew up to write his "requiem" for asls-2-? til he goes off to military service.
