Once upon a time 2300 was considered almost unreachable, 2200 S-class. If 2200 is the region where it's getting hard to breathe, and 2300 the very top of the mountain, then Flash has been gently floating in a high orbit around planet Broodwar for the last months. It looks pretty damn good for a dual title... (If JD and Sea lose some of their next games we might even see Flash with a 200 point lead on second rank.) | ||

IMO if he is owning people all the time but gets unlucky in the major competitions he's still the fucking king, titles or no. Like if every other progamer says "flash is better than me" and flash wins like 99.9% of his games but due to freak occurrences/poor coping with pressure abilities he never wins ONE title EVER then I think he is still the bonjwa. Titles mean SHIT imo. | ||

Seriously though, Flash right now is just playing on a whole 'nother level. He understands the game, bottom to top, and the maps are making it so that T is still pretty good. Even though no such thing as a bonjwa exists anymore, he is as close as you can get without following the pattern. He just straight up looks unbeatable right now, except possibly by JD. I'm not sure who from the protoss side would even have a shot against him (Kal, except he's been inconsistent....) | ||

Edit: He also lost in the finals of the Arena MSL to ForGG. Those two are his only Bo5 defeats in starleagues. (The loss to Rock was in some kind of qualifying league wasn't it?) | ||

Anyone who is tearing up the best of the best with a 80/90 + % winrate is clearly a god. | ||

Bonjwa or not, he's clearly the best player right now by far even if he lost the NATE MSL to Jaedong. | ||
