Step 1: Flash makes perfect use of Terran's superior defensive options to hold back any early aggression and prevent scouting from the opponent while simultaneously getting the scouting information he needs to decide what he should do.
Step 2: Flash monitors his opponent with periodic scans, and moves out at the perfect timing - when Flash has enough units to roll through his opponent unchallenged, and he wins.

Most of the variations occur within this same basic framework. If the initial timing push doesn't work, and his opponent is able to get their third / fourth bases set up (assuming he is facing Zerg or Protoss), then Flash's games are really, really entertaining because it might become an exciting back-and-forth affair instead of a "Flash's opponent doesn't have enough units to safely attack Flash, so Flash is immune from attack, then Flash uses his superior macro to roll over his opponent 10 minutes into the game" affair. But most of the time Flash wins before that point, and I'm not really entertained seeing Flash just roll over his opponent's with timing pushes.

Maybe if I liked watching Terran play I'd enjoy it more, but for me most of his games are an exercise in frustration to watch.

Edit: Just so I'm clear, I'm not explaining why Flash isn't entertaining, generally, or why other people shouldn't feel entertained, but why I don't enjoy his games as much.

That would qualify as Ggaemo/Hyuk.

They're so bad it's funny. Hell, Hyuk even has his fails named after him. He hyuks himself.

BEST PLAYER EVER PERIOD. Not the most successful that is Nada, not the most innovative/creative thats Boxer, not the best finalist that is Oov, not the most dominating with a "underpowered" race that is Savior, and the one that killed all the bonjwas that was jaedong, hell even jaedong has a better bo5 winrate but flash did all those things in one year NO ONE HAS done what flash did and that is the bottom line man. He may not play with super special flair but oov also didint and people hated him for it. Face it man he may be a cheeser a turtler but to be the best in the world you also have to cheese and you also have to use the map to your advantage.

Why can't we has multiple gods? Polytheism is cool. The heavens of Mount Olympus rage between the battles of July, the God of War, and Boxer, the Terran Emperor.

Flashius and Jaedong face off. All life on Earth pauses to watch.
