Wtf?
Seriously dude, take your trolling bullshit elsewhere.
Congratz to God Young Ho for being a representative for his country! They couldn't have chosen a better player for this job.

The theme of the video is "Going the distance", it hasn't really got anything to do with fanservice. Not a single player right now fits that theme besides Flash, a player who basically transcended any precious notions of Brood War success by landing himself in every single final (MSL, OSL, Proleague, WCG) since his resurgence in the EVER OSL.
Yellow? Yeah losing 5 finals is certainly "going the distance" I guess.

Ah, that makes more sense.
Well, I was wrong then. Flash is a perfect fit here.

Nice vid! Can you imagine another country putting in a guy who plays a video game in something like this? Korea is amazing and so is BW.

Every day that goes by my admiration for korean culture gets a little bit stronger.
What a nice video.

Flash now is like an opening to a possible new era of Starcraft. I really don't like calling him the "last generation" - I don't think it DESERVES to be the last. Because he had introduced the new principles of the game.
It's same like once happened in football, when someone (i'm not sure if it was Lobanovsky or someone else) had introduced the "total football", where game was held on the whole field, and all was expanded from mere "defenders" and "strikers" to the battle at the whole field, varying tactics at each minute and second adapting to the current needs.
Flash opens the era of "total Starcraft". It looks very very similar to the above.
And that's a true hype to him, not the simple fanboy cries "omg flash pwns all omg omg hes cool". I'm not cheering for him anywhere, but anyone has to accept his contribution (in fact revolution) in the game.
P.S.: There's not without reason that Russian SC community dubbed him "the true macro terran". Because it's he who has shown what macro is. It's not making fuckkilotons of workers, CCs and units. It's that "total Starcraft" concept.

It is said, that the zerg is the strongest race if you imagine an "ideal game"
I even made a joke story of it:
Jaedong did following - switched races to Terran in an OSL (where he lost 2-3 TvT in semifinal to Flash), then to Protoss in the next OSL (where he won 3-0 with nexus-gateway-nexus build vs. Flash, LOL), both to earn the "features" the other races have to integrate it into zerg race's play. Then he suddenly said that after his last Starleague win (which was offrace lol) he is now leaving proscene. All went O_o, and next year Flash came up as strong as before, killing everyone, producing new brilliant builds etc...
And then after a year he received an invitation to a match vs.. Starcraft Machine! It was a computer client program (not the computer in SC, it couldn't see your units), which was programmed to make perfect decisions and found out that he always won with zerg. So Flash came and fought it but lost 0-4 in a bo7. He became so devastated especially when he saw that one of the masterminds of this machine was Jaedong =)). Then he decided - oh I thought that I was a machine, but now Zerg is strongest race officially. And I switch to zerg.
Then he trained ZvZ 12343204589230948520 times with Jaedong, his long-time-ago practice partner, eager to show that he is still the most precise, most analytically-gifted one, even compared to a machine.
On his next match vs. machine, machine crashed. :D
wow. im sure there's some gem in this somewhere... if only it was understandable. in the meantime, let me read it again and decipher through the gibberish.
SOVETSKY SUYOZ!!!

Dude Flash is a fucking God in Korea.
SO WRONG! Ask anyone who knows enough about the SC scene and they all hate him. mostly for usurping the Reign of the Beast! There's even a movement here in Seoul against him. He better not walk the streets alone. XD

And... Jaedong fans will continue to be the sole reason I find myself unable to root for the dong.
SO WHAT?! DOESNT MATTER. Fanboys gonna be fanboys. and haters gonna hate. Both for you and me, and for us all. Let it be. And don't think for a moment that it is about you.
NOW again to fanboy mode. To those who say Flash is the best, even a legend, remember JD is aka THE LEGEND KILLER! 2010 might have slipped away, but its a new season baby.
THE BEAST RETURNS!!!
THE END XD

Oh, why hate him? Seriously, it can do nothing but give him another portion of strength.
He hasn't to be hated, he has to be respected and... lets say, understood. His play is perfectly understandable, I'm sure in it. And I'm sure that instead of zomg zomg flash is monster Jaedong, Stork, Bisu sit and analyze his game. It's only a matter of who is ahead in that analysis.
BTW, "L" is good name for him :D And I sense the similar mind duel as in the story where that "L" came from ^_^
