EPTIf anything, TvZ is very slightly zerg favored at the moment and any terran nerfing would make the matchup impossible for everyone except Flash. The big question is whether other terrans can rise to Flash's level? Given how a number of zergs almost caught up with Jaedong in 2009, I wouldn't call it impossible. But they better get on it soon.

Well, what's the stats after you take off the best ZvT player as well? | ||

Jaedong wasn't owning as bad as Flash is. Flash is sth like 35 out of 40 and is close to break 2400 elo. But yeah... The time will come eventually and someone will beat Flash... I just hope it won't be Jaedong (at least not this season) as Jaedong fans would go into crazy fanboy mode and will pick again at Flash for eliminating Jaedong from OSL. | ||

If you can see Flash, he can see you. If you can’t see Flash you may be only seconds away from death. | ||

That game on Match Point that Day9 casted showed 2 Hatch Muta raping him pretty hard but I'm guessing it was just a one-off. Flash is scary | ||

Well the funny thing is I can't even call to mind who the best ZvT is right now. Effort? JD? It's not even close to as dominant as Flash I don't think. | ||

It's not even close to as dominant as Flash I don't think. according to TLPD the order is: JD effort Yarnc Calm ZerO but yarnc is playing like complete garbage right now and just hasnt played a lot in a while to bring his ELO down. I would probably agree with those rankings for the most part, although effort is not nearly as good vs mech as the others, and ZerO/Calm both played extremely impressively vs Flash. I would like to see how effort would do vs flash right now (as playing vs flash is without a doubt the best way to judge how someone is vs Terran). I think Calm is only the 4th best in a single game but probably the 2nd best in a series. in a single game I would say: JD effort zero calm series: jd calm zero effort | ||

well, he just crushed jd, zero and calm. with the exception of maybe effort, flash has just recently destroyed all the top zergs. i got the impression that jds zvt isnt in top shape atm, so maybe if he improves it a bit he could be a threat to flash in a possible msl finals, but other than that, i dont think any zerg could beat flash in a bo3/bo5 right now. ok, so zerg is not the answer. in tvt he is unbeatable anyway, so the only option left is to play protoss. but maybe flashs current "suboptimal performance" against toss is simply the result of facing almost no tosses? who says his tvp is inherently deficient? i can very well imagine its as strong as his tvz if he invests enough practice time into it. he just didnt have to do so thus far, as he was almost exclusively tearing through terrans and zergs. i think Best in the msl might be the best chance left to beat flash this season + Show Spoiler + despite being one game down! | ||

a few months ago when flash 1st started his streak I didnt think much of it because he didnt really have to play any of the top zergs and they were all in individual games. after last night though he's totally proven to me that he just truly is at another level right now. it's back to where he was 20 months ago where he just completely crushed everyone he played with his macro, except now thanks to fantasy's "late game mass tank" strat he's even more unstoppable. | ||
