But I'd agree with Holgerius, how can you look at sAviOr's measly run and ignore Flash? A whole host of Zergs were ZvP gods. He didn't get married until like a year and a half ago, which was far before he fell off the radar. | ||

He didn't really have too many attempts left at stardom so this wasn't about being selfish/non-selfish. | ||

July beat him 3-1 in the ITV finals, but that was after what I consider to be Oov's period of invincibility. | ||

everyone was like who the fuck is this guy and bam ... boxer cried ... its like force and pressure ... oov might have a less significant force, but it was applied over a smaller area (i.e period of time) -> the pressure felt is greater ... whereas every knows flash has been great all along and it comes to little surprised that he dominated the scene when there was literally only jaedong who had a shot at taking him down ... (bisu and stork slumped hard core) ... in short, flash was consistently good, and eventually became god while oov ate banana and bagged 5 golds ... | ||

Of course watching him play (whenever I didn't blindly rage "omg tvz imba ffs!!!") was beautiful, such brilliance and technical mastery have never been seen before, and probably never will. Oov was good (understatement, I know), but Flash is imo, the best a bw player will ever be. Noone can top that monster! | ||

If all iloveoov was doing during his prime was rolling over people with ease then he should have better results to show for it. The fact remains that iloveoov was regularly dropping individual leagues in his prime. He was getting knocked out of one individual league a season by other players. He obviously didn't make those players "look bad", nor he did he "dominate" them. Why are you are arguing about something, which apparantly you cant comprehend? He made players look bad and he dominated everyone. Of course he didnt have 100% win record lol. Dominant is not equal to "the best". | ||

His periode of dominance is by far the best.

(bisu and stork slumped hard core) ... in short, flash was consistently good, and eventually became god while oov ate banana and bagged 5 golds ... Between the Trigem MSL and EVER 2004 OSL, iloveoov won a league every season. This is over a period of about 14 months. During this time, he appeared in four finals and got four golds. He never made two finals (I say two instead of both/dual because back then there were some GhemTV leagues and other stuff) in one season. On the other hand, between EVER 2009 and Korean Air S2, over a period of 12 months (this is important because it was 3 seasons, shorter than iloveoov's 4 seasons), Flash appeared in six finals. He appeared in *all* finals. He made dual finals three seasons in a row. In that shorter time he matched iloveoov's achievement of 4 golds and on top of that got two silvers. While Flash got his 4 golds faster than iloveoov's 4 golds, iloveoov got his 5th gold quicker than Flash. He won Shinhan OSL over July about a year after EVER. But Flash won Bacchus like 1.6 years before his streak. Don't forget back then Shinhan wasn't sponsoring the PL forever. Individual leagues still held more prestige. I can't really fit this into the analysis because it means that other players would be focused more on individual leagues, meaning iloveoov's lack of dual leaguing is more excusable. But it also means that you have to give another point to Flash for crushing the PL on top of 6 finals and WCG. | ||
