I'd take it seriously.

He obviously lacks the entertainment value of past players. But you can't argue with the results.


Bullshit. It's your opinion man, nothing else. Flash is the single most entertaining player to watch imho.

lol again, your opinion.. rax -> cc is his bread and butter.. (yes i know he tries to put some one base pressure occasionally but lets be honest here) hes a beast at what he does, no denying it.

but flash's play is a pretty predictable - solid macro. that is taking into account its predictability there are SO few holes in his play that makes it flipping impossible to beat him even though you know what hes going to do (expand at every opportunity). i read somewhere that when constructing a build flash accounts for EVERY possible opportunity/timing that an opponent might take advantage of - he doesnt prepare for the player, he prepares for the race.

he relies on his macro to win everygame and tries to push all games to lategame where he knows he can simply just out macro his opponent to victory - because hes better lol.

i agree with a176 in that this kind of play is great to learn from, but does lose its entertainment value overtime

what i LOVE about flash is his maphack scans/spidey sense. THAT is so fucking fun to watch haha
+ Show Spoiler +
like when he didnt see any lings in osl game1 and got suspicious cause his spidey sesne was tingling so he didnt push out with his MM completely denying jaedongs burrowed lings


IMO, these are some of the player i love to watch:
jaedong - fun to watch because of his endless aggression.
leta - because hes so innovative
fantasy - some of the best vulture play in the game/constant need to incorporate valks in his play hahaha
boxer - boxer.
reach - manlots.
bisu - craaaaaazy multitasking/micro ability (probe, shuttle micro for example)
stork - storkuuuuuuuuu (where else do we get to see perfect carrier play?)
hyuk - for a laugh

lots more but these stand out to me
Jaedong.

Lol, you are being paranoid; 5 quotes and pretty much only one of those (the last one, maybe the third one as well) show any sign of thinking lowly of JD. XD I mean, pointing out that no one else (no, not even JD) will probably ever reach every final during an entire year+winning dual Starleague titles+winning PL+winning WL+reaching over 4000 Kespa points+reaching 70+ % in all MU's etc etc, like Flash has done now does not mean they think JD is bad.


I don't know if perhaps English is not your first language (its not mine either), but your interpretation of specific wordings is slightly off. Those are all types of ways of saying "nobody can ever do this". If "nobody can ever do this", then its the same as insulting everyone. Don't ever place limitations on people we don't understand. Noone other than MAYBE... MAYBE the coaching staff and other progamers have any idea what makes FlaSh's play so good. We can only poke and prod and make some observations. FlaSh has evolved into this player we see today. That means everyone has the potential to do the same. Its an ignorant blanket-statement no matter how you look at it. There's no arguing against any of this, its just plain fact that the words as they exist in that order inherently have negative connotations to them.

Show nested quote +
And I do think that the gap is quite large as of right now. Flash's win vs JD in the final was much more dominant than JD's win vs Stork in the semi. And that was JD's ''imba'' MU.


.... did you even watch the WCG 2009? Go rewatch the final match and try saying that again with sincerity. I also might remind you that the entire reason modern ZvP exists is because of JD showing the world the wonders of the 3 base spire into 5 hatch variation(s) build.

Show nested quote +
I've even seen some hardcore JD fanboys agree that Flash>JD>Everyone else now.


I even agree that FlaSh>Jaedong right now. In no way have I expressed my opinions of FlaSh not being better. The gap just plain isn't that big though. Game 2 and 3 were just plain old BO differences and Game 4 was a bunch of weird insane stuff probably because of the map.

Show nested quote +
Things might change just like they have always done, and Flash is of course not unbeatable. It's just that since October last year he's 13-6 (including 3 straight Bo5 wins) vs the second best player in the world (who is way above everyone else), and what he has done during this period is completely unprecedented, so is it really that weird that we are fucking excited about it?


Being excited =/= Making 5 clone threads of the same recycled statements.

Lol, it's not an insult to say that someone will not be able to do something like that. I guess there is a small theoretical chance that another player could potentially accomplish what Flash has done in 2010, but come on; be realistic. It won't happen. I'm willing to bet money on it.

The gap between Flash and JD is pretty big. Look at the big picture here; 9-3 = 75 % winrate for Flash vs JD in the last 3 Starleague finals. That's a pretty dominating winrate yo.

i agree, AND you gotta take into account that jaedong pretty much walked into both finals uncontested.. just as flash did (well storkuuuuu gave jd a run for his money)

i agree with flash>jd>everyone... and that makes flash god in bw.. as sad as i am to admit it (jd fan here )

Yes it is. There is always a chance that someone can push the envelope and come up with something that really does work with that high a %. Once again, these progamers all have an understanding of the game far deeper than we do, and I'm sure that the higher you climb, the more refined the details of their gameplay based on that understanding. Again, NOBODY is debating that FlaSh had the most amazing season to happen to date. That does not, however, indicate that a turn-around isn't a possibility. Don't ever close your mind to possibilities or you've already lost something, my friend :/

Guess we're just fundamentally different you and me; I'm a realist, you're a dreamer.

Flash can certainly be overthrown and beaten, but I guarantee that no one else will ever reach the requirements to be a ''God''.

Flash is unbelievable. I just can't fathom how he's so much better than every other Terran. The games against Kwanro and Action confirmed my theory that he cannot lose.

I wonder who will stop Flash's reign ? I'm gonna bet on a zerg , since historicaly Flash loses to zergs the most in a series , but since Jaedong couldn't do it the other option is Effort since they are the only zergs who actually win games of Flash . Calm , Zero , Action could put up a fight against Flash , but it's unlikely looking at past results . In TvP it looks like Flash is rolling top protoss players without even trying . TvT Flash struggles the most , but in the end he still wins ...

Kind of hard to believe that a little over a year ago Flash was dropping out of leagues to Kwanro and getting knocked off the PR all together. It's amazing how much he's grown in such a short period.

For the last year or so I kept saying to myself that Flash is going to choke and fall back to where he was 2 years ago really soon, it`s beyond impressive that he hasn`t, he actually seems to keep on improving... unbelievable.

Yeah, when normal kids havn't really matured yet, they really try their parents' limits. "How much will it take before they lose their minds?"... Flash, however, is not a usual kid and decided to try the limits of the 14cc instead. Like everybody though, he grew up.

Flash is not boring, he's simply not suicidal.
He doesn't make actions which polarize his chances of victory depending on what his opponent does AKA all-ins (at times where they are uncalled for).
