Dude, theres a thousand other plays to watch other than flash. The only reason you are picking on him is because he is on top, and lately that is only TvZ and TvT, i doubt you mentioned TvP. The game vs Jaedong as exciting, he brought something new to the table, denying a top zerg's third for how long? yeah , incredible. How is that boring? I think you are just whining for whatever player you are rooting for. Flash is awesome. He's dedicated, stern, and balls out.

ed: also, 10+ years to "figure a game out" is pretty unreal imo.

I just want to say that Flash isn't boring. He has been mixing up his strategies for the past few months now and the games were quite exciting to watch. Too bad I don't like him all that much.

This guy is bitching about macrobots ruining Starcraft then mentions he lost sleep over Best (ahahahhaa) losing to Flash.

God, how dumb can this guy get. Best is a very good player overall, but what he does best is set his "z" key on autofire, click through his 30 gateways and simply kill terrans with waves of zealots or do a billion recalls. He doesn't even need high templars because his macro is simply too good.

At least keep your hate consistent. Jaedong's and Savior's personality aren't anything to write home about either so don't bring up the "Jaedong has heart" argument or say "I feel closer to Savior because he said he's a pants person" - they're still faceless people who smash their keyboards day in and day out.

I'm sure this has been said somewhere in the thread but why is it Flash's fault for dominating everyone so hard?

Maybe if other progamers could actually play straight up games vs him instead of always doing some kind of super econ or super aggressive build then we could maybe see some GGs. I mean look at Jaedong v Flash on Loki II... one of the best games ever imo because both were mechanically so strong and confident in their ability to play straight up...

It's not Flash's fault he is ahead of the curve

flash vs calm set 4 just finished like 5 mins ago, and I was tense the whole match. imo, the game shifted balance a few times, + Show Spoiler +

when flash lost those marines in the middle to muta+ling

and the ending was just pure genius. I thought it was brilliant play, despite what you may think.

what do you want to see? more nukes or something?

more small battles not always waiting for the full unit mix to fight?

I'm not spoiling anything. You can't deduce who won what games.

What do you think Flash's new TvZ style does? Early aggression to deny a Zerg's 3rd isn't exactly "waiting for the full unit mix".

Just because players nowadays don't do fancy micros such as 3 marines killing 6 lurkers doesn't mean they are any less innovative. Players now focus on refining build-orders and timings, which is incredibly awesome if you can see though it =) It shows how ridiculously deep they understand the game. And I, personally, find it extremely beautiful to watch (like how a Terran pushes out and breaks his zerg opponent into pieces right before the first defiler is out ...)
