Good to hear from Flash's perspective. It's so heartbreaking to have game 3 end like that.

putting aside liking or not liking the studio and who should have won ;

- no heating
- power loss
- telling the players he was behind from replay, while there was no replay, to justify decision

I love hearing from Flash. He's a great player at a young age and I hope he goes really far. A little saddened to hear that he thought he was in a good position. And the KESPA referees being assholes is just sad. Promote some progamers instead. Reach, Yellow and Nada would be excellent judges.

Nice to hear KT is taking care of him. And from the looks of it he's heading for a Pro League win and a Player of the year award . . . not to mention his OSL GOLD and MSL silver. Flash fighting.

Thanks a lot for the translation.

Flash is so damn awesome! Collected his inner calmness despite the bullshit he has been forced through.

No heating, incompetent referees (and there are indeed 3 of them), bullshit final stage, electric outage, etc.

Perhaps Flash's B-word run is not over yet.

Flash seems like a really cool guy, but i still have to go with my opinion that the decision was "fair" under those circumstances. I am sorry for him though.

I still don't understand korean mentality. They are all so hardworking and respectful people and sc progaming is very big there. You have price of 40 000$ for the winner and they introduce players to the freezing booth and are like: here you go sir, with smile. Seriously fucked up
Brood War is the best RTS that has ever been created.

To understand Korean mentality, watch their soap operas ;D. My parents do, good lord.
I post only when my brain works.

It still amazes me how professional and mature Flash is at the age of 17. Thanks!

Anyone playing in a live gaming tournament should carry a heatable hand warmer, I know I always did. You can buy them online and even in SUMMER they help; sometimes hands/fingers just get cold. There are bound to be bad conditions sometimes, and it is up to the player to anticipate them and do something to minimize them. He could have prevented his hands from being cold, but nothing he could have done could prevent the travesty that happened in match 3. I can't imagine even a foreign LAN tournament being this unprepared and professional.

Funny thing, this SAME EXACT THING happened to me in WCG one year, and guess what? They had UPS's set up and were able to get the replay to at least have both players and all the refs watch it, and asked the loser if he agreed that the game was over, and it went much more smoothly being able to go over the replay and see who had how many resources, units, map control, tech, etc. It's pathetic that the MSL finals are less professional and less prepared than WCG, who is notorious for messing things up.

If Flash says he had a decent chance, he had a decent chance and that's the end of it.

I'm a Flash fan now. I feel bad for him for what happened.


This finals does not tell me who was the better player overall.


I want them to play again.

Partially explains the blackout. They fucked up not planning enough heating (I can't play well when it's even a little cold) so they plugged in an electric heater to the power adapter everything else was on. They didn't plan to use it so it wasn't tested etc. Daisy chained and boom.

Flash is perhaps more biased than most. He's also pissed off with them so even if he knows they made the right call he'd be unlikely to absolve them.
Flash's opinion on someone else's game would be invaluable but on his own game he's hardly impartial. Just for reference, Fantasy said that the refs made the right call.
