The different clusterfucks that all came together for that series is very unique. You cannot possibly understand the amount of emotional stress someone goes through in a situation like that. Consider his age, what happened to his father, the decision, the position of the game he was in, and how much was riding on that decision. Don't be so uppity and say "Just fight through it," when it is very likely that you would have collapsed just as Flash did. I have seen people with great mental fortitude just break down from a situation that culminates in such a manner. What? Roffles is right, and you're not addressing the viewpoint at all. Who cares if Roffles hasn't been in a situation like that before; that has nothing to do with Flash. I admit that I haven't been on a stage with all that massive amount of shit happening, but does anyone give two bits for what kind of pressure if I, some random college student in the U.S., can withstand? No. So obviously Flash's "mental fortitude" wasn't great enough then, that's a fact he admits himself. So what's your point? You can say that under all that duress that it is understandable that he did fail; and pretty much everyone on these forums agrees with you, including me. But that's not the point either. The point is whether or not he should've instead gathered himself together and use a positive mindset to try to win the remaining games. How can you possibly say no? I mean, God knows it would be incredibly difficult to do, but it IS what he should've done. | ||

From this interview and widely known fact we can see that this happened: Somehow MSL officials decide not not have the players play in front of a live audience and thus dissapointing thousands upon thousands of viewers. When the finals start both players are freezing cold because there is no heating in the room (lol?). The result of this is a sloppy game from Flash. In set 3 the power goes out on both Jaedong and Flash computers. The refs decide to give Jaedong the win after an hour. They claim to Flash that they didn't see a replay but stood behind him and watched his unit count and economy (allthough we clearly saw a replay being broadcasted after). MSL refs then proceed to ignore Flash and the KT coaches the next time they meet. Wow... Just wow... This is just about the most unproffessional event I've ever heard of. | ||

 to Flash! Awesome guy, although I enjoy it when Stork beats you (hehehe), you are one modest and amazing human being.Comment on KeSPA:+ Show Spoiler + FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Comment on no heater / cold hands: yeah, I agree with the people that said that it really affects your abilities to perform. Playing SC, having warm/cold hands really makes a big difference (at least for me), sure you can keep your apm high but then the continued discomfort from having to move cold/stiff fingers at that kind of high speed just stacks up. I don't think I'll ever play SC at 350apm level, but from my personal piano performances, I can assure you that I always made sure my fingers were warmed up (both loose-wise and temperature-wise) because cold fingers playing piano will quickly result in stiff hand/wrist, which stiffens up the elbows/arm in turn, which then... playing at the level you usually play becomes impossible. | ||

It doesn't matter that you, I, or a normal person would have curled up into a ball - when he is trying to become the greatest of all time, then these situations are a chance to show why. If he had beaten JD in game 4 that would be legendary and he missed that opportunity. wow and every one else who has the same opinion.... I thought he was plenty mature and he already sucked it up by not walking away from this terrible final. Come on guys, hes not a robot with no emotions. | ||

Flash was extremely mature for this whole event, and to be able to congratulate Jaedong afterwards, that's sucking it up. =/ I mean, that CAN'T be easy. But... Flash is the ultimate weapon. :p Weapons don't have emotions. ^_^ | ||

Come on guys, hes not a robot with no emotions. Again, the point is being obscured. No one is arguing he was being immature, or anything else. I thought that by continuing to play he was already quite resilient. But what it comes down to this: Do you think Flash should've played the remaining games with a negative mindset or a positive mindset? This is the last I'm saying on the matter, feel free to take it to PM. | ||

Not only their opinion is neglected (Stork), they are also being lied to (Flash), as if they were laughing at the progamers and said "You guys is just a bunch of kids, we are the on who hold the power here, so shut up". | ||

Flash and Jaedong are good people. It's a relief and an honour to see progaming so respectable. | ||

If both of them were playing without heaters then, I'm sorry, but using it as an excuse for losing when the other player was under the same conditions is complete and utter BS. | ||
