There was a post-game interview in which Flash left his ruler at home. His coach immediately went to buy a new ruler for him. He uses the ruler to align his keyboard with the screen to exact precision, and I'm sure the mousepad too, etc. Watch Nal_rA's Oldboy for footage of that, forgot what episode... but it's the one where he plays Flash at the KT house.
The probability of Kim Carrier getting all those predictions wrong is similar to the probability Flash loses a TvT. Kim Carrier MUST BE a genius. His only big mistake... STORK.

Man I see a lot of Flash threads.
Flash is doing so well because of his hard work. Carrying KTF for all this time, being thrust into random high pressure situations over and over... it's paid off.
Flash deserves his reign right now, but somebody's going to topple him someday.

Let it be Jaedong.

I hope Bisu or Jaedong's the one that topples him from his throne. Seriously I want Bisu to make a comeback so bad...

Flash has said in the 뒷담화 program that he's come to some sort of enlightenment or revelation.

I hope his reign last very very very long

Maybe, until the end of starcraft 1.

He has to get dual gold to make his reign more dominant!! GrrRRr

Definitely this, even if it sounds corny and stupid. During his series match against (Z)July in GOM, it was like something clicked inside his head and he finally learnt how to win individual league matches. Beforehand, he was simply a really, really good (T)Light: good at playing the standard game which is useful in proleague but not much besides that.

Interesting...

This could be all fixed. You can't have Jaedong always be top dog. Someone's gotta take over that nobody likes, so it can produce an epic story. And then, Jaedong, the goldenboy, defeats his opponent after many years of struggle... ~

yeah.

Even though I was just joking, with the whole match fixing thing, I'm a bit of a skeptic now. Flash, coming out of nowhere, (really) was kind of crazy. but hey, whatever.

Flash has always been this good (as in way better than the rest of progamers). He's mentioned in interviews that he rarely loses to anyone in practice games (even Jaedong/Bisu/Stork) but he just wasn't able to harness his skills in practice during TV matches. I think now he's finally matured into someone who can play as well as he does in practice (as in unstoppable).

He came out of nowhere? He worked pretty hard for his first OSL title, which he won at age 15, by defeating both Bisu and Stork (at their primes) with his enhanced iloveoov builds (double armory and sometimes 14cc).
