Personally I'm quite a good player but I can't help but to stare in awe at my monitor if Bisu/Jaedong/Flash/Stork are playing. They're just out of this world. Maybe Flash isn't all that characteristic, ya. But BISU!??!?! Fuck yea he is. Fucking cocky bitch that tends to underestimate opponents and looks pretty decent for an asian. Stork's silvers already made up their own character in Stork's psyche so you might as well call him a shizo... And Jaedong, well - he's Jaedong, kid is probably the incarnation of the word ballsy - add to it his death stare and yea, you've got Jaedong the motherfucker that's trashing every fucking other newbie around. Okay, except Flash from this statement as for recent results. Still. Lee motherfucking Jae Dong. k? kthx. | ||

I guess your perception of a player who has heart is a person who just sits at D-C level and plays fastest alot on USWest. I really don't understand your reasoning behind saying Flash or any other calibur of progamer doesn't have "heart". It sounds to me like you just can't find anyway to get better and are sitting here bashing people who know what to do to get better. I feel frustrated from starcraft all the time but that doesn't make me just say "well hes just a robot, he doesn't really love the game." I mean what kind of sense does that even make...? One more thing games like Chess are still around, why is that? Hope you respond to this post. | ||

I've actually got a pen and a paper beside my bed (I watch SC on my iPod) to write down particular games which at least have moments I thought were intensely clever... I've basically written something down for almost every game. | ||

Just because people have optimised the basics doesn't change the wealth of strategic decisions under the surface. It's very easy for a bad player to look at a game and think "well, he's making the same general units as in every other PvT therefore it's all the same" but the more you understand the game, the more you can appreciate its depth. I recommend you watch some Day9 daily, he's excellent at making the complexity of the game accessable. QFT. The "innovations" that flash makes aren't as obvious, but if you understand what he's changing from the norm, then you see how he has experimented outside what has been done. These guys practice half their lives (literally) and they will use something when they find something that works. | ||

And if he brought about a new revolution in TvP,then everyone will only think of starcraft as Flash. No one will bother about other gamers because Flash is there. There would be no rivalries as Flash is the embodiment of starcraft edit:well i dont mean i hate him its just that if hes all win u wouldnt even bother to watch since u know that hes gonna win his matches. If he has a 50% record against S class gamers like jaedong and bisu and stork then that would be nice cause u would be hoping he does some solid play to outplay them or whatever | ||

But there are still loads of great games in both eras.  exactly. the only reason we think the games back them were considered better because OGN and MBC chose to only televise the top 8 or something. Besides, we can only find vods of some of the best games, and I personally found a few of those to match today's "boring playstyles". Some were just awkward for me to watch, being a new fan and all. But now with VOD technology we can see every game, and we can see the difference between a good game and a bad game. And one of the biggest reasons FlaSh is considered a normal terran is because everyone else COPIES HIM. | ||

The best example of this I can think of is split sets in MSL Ro16 and OSL Quarterfinals - I think progamers struggle to find innovative strategies that will get their opponents off balance considering the set is not played out in a single day. Also from the audience standpoint, at least personally watching a set in one day is much more enjoyable and leads to more interesting psychological competition than a split BoX. I think there was an interview where Savior said that Fantasy would not have beat GGPlay (using Fantasy Build) had the Bo5 been played on split days. I think subtle things that emphasize preparation over innovation (and adapting in-game to something you haven't seen before) has led to modern play becoming more mechanical. I still think the main causes are the depth of modern pro-teams (so there is a lot of opportunity to test a diverse range of strategies for every map) and the fact that competitive maps have been played to death so it's hard to think of something no one has ever seen. | ||

I must admit though, that I really enjoyed seeing Flash roll over Jaedong on HBR, perhaps there is still hope for a more offensive Flash after all. | ||

Granted im a terran and im always amazed at the plays he shows us, but having someone winning all the games he plays isn't someone that i would really like. His TvT and TvZ is too beastly to the point that if he does not make a single mistake there would be no way anyone would be able to win him. And if he brought about a new revolution in TvP,then everyone will only think of starcraft as Flash. No one will bother about other gamers because Flash is there.

People were talking about Jaedong like this last season (incidentally, there are never any Flash B-word threads, while Jaedong and Bisu B-word threads are a dime a dozen), and now look what's happened. Players rise and fall, and the fact that the skill level between everyone is so close ensures that the field is always dynamic. | ||
