The interviewer is kind of asking a loaded question, there isn't really any way for him to answer the question without annoying one segment of the community - he can be honest and be accused of making excuses or he can lie and bother his fans. He's not a politician so he's not really trained at giving long winded non-answers nor is he like Midas and able give cute brief answer that don't make sense.

look, on a more serious note. I just re-read all my rants from yesterday. At no point of them I havent said anything offensive or insulted Flash as a person or as a player in any way. Its distasteful to make jokes about one's health issues and at no point in my posts I said he is faking, or made fun of his condition (aside from the dumbledore photoshop which had to be made).

My point is that Flash is selling intentionally or not the whole situation bad imho. Just because he a honest kid telling the truth he shared his concerns about his health, a topic which is related to everyone in the scene, not only his fans. Maybe he does put inhuman effort to be on top of his game given the situation, but adding so much drama to his condition, and constantly pointing out he feels handicapped in his practice time or ingame because of this, makes his competitors look really weak, given his ever dominant record, despite the fact he dropped from the starleagues last season. Maybe he is not doing that by intention but thats the by product of his statements. And given the fact Flash became really cocky in the recent seasons (Saying he cant possibly be beaten in MSL, or when asked what he thinks about the other 7 MSL champions in the group selection he replied with "Huh?") I just dont like the fact he is talking so much about it, making all his fans worry about his condition when he is hands down the best player in the world and his play isnt really showing any signs of a health problem.

Someone said if it was bisu, I would've reacted in the same way. Well 2 years ago Bisu constantly complained about map balance, despite being a beast in PL. Anti-fans made fun of all his complains. Ofc both issues are of a completely different nature, but just like in the case with Bisu, I had enough of flash QQing about his wrist after 3-0ing his opponents.

In any case I do wish his wrist heals as fast as possible so that his fans are not as concerned about his health and so he could focus completely on the game.

I understand the issue is quite sensitive for everyone, especially for his fans who got so easily offended by my controversial posts. Ppl overracted to my rant and it all became quite emotional and out of line. I do apologize for sparking such a flame fest. But I do stand by my words and even thou the way I worded myself was provocative some of the reactions I got were premature as well. Especially about me abusing my status here.

I will make it up for you all by making some wonderful gfx for the MSL finals, which would make even the heart of flash himself warm

Don't worry disciple. You're not alone. I'm a casual neutral party here, and I think you have a point when you say Flash is somehow milking this issue. Flash fans are just emotional about it, so don't mind them.


You're not neutral and neither is Disciple. You may think yourself to be neutral but I bet you feel some cognitive dissonance when you typed that out.

So you're my psychiatrist now? I don't think about subconscious thing or what I may mean by what I say. It's just straight talk. I say it as I mean it. I have no interest in this. I dont care whether Flash or Zero or FBH or Mind or even you wins this MSL. I just want to watch good BW games.

Flash must win. He is "dying". No one deserves complete victory like he does.

If he wins this Final, he will have surpassed Nada as the most successful BW progamer of all time. June 11 is a momentous day for the BW scene. The first player with 7 career Gold Medals in MSL, OSL, and WCG.

He must win. It belongs to him.

His flame has burned so intensely, and to my amazement, for such an extended amount of time.

And his wrists are shot.

You see, the thing is, no such flame as intense as his can simply disappear. He will make a final flash before disappearing into oblivion.

He must win. Then he must disappear and become a legend.

Perhaps he'll play Starcraft 2.

So says the man who dislikes Flash's fans and has a long posting history supporting Hydra.

It doesn't really matter what you say, even if you are joking/being utterly serious your posting history betrays you. Its like suggesting, I dunno, ForSC2 being unbiased towards Bisu - he could well be neutral but his posting history suggests otherwise.

One doesn't have to be a 'psychiatrist' to understand your 'neutral' stance. Obviously from your posts so far, 'neutral' and 'objective' are not very correct words to describe you because posts concerning Flash as well as Flash fans by you reek of bias and blatant hatred towards Flash or his fans. Just by saying you don't care who wins does not prove that you are a neutral, care-free observer.

Never suggested you disliked Flash, only suggested you dislike his fans. Don't see where I'm wrong when you post this sort of stuff:

KT fan obviously. Thats why my new rule now is look at team icon. if KT or flash signature I dont bother anymore. No need for fanboy wars. At least Bisu/JD/Stork fans are fun and you can banter playfully with them.

He's not a politician so he's not really trained at giving long winded non-answers nor is he like Midas and able give cute brief answer that don't make sense.

look, on a more serious note. I just re-read all my rants from yesterday. At no point of them I havent said anything offensive or insulted Flash as a person or as a player in any way. Its distasteful to make jokes about one's health issues and at no point in my posts I said he is faking, or made fun of his condition (aside from the dumbledore photoshop which had to be made).

My point is that Flash is selling intentionally or not the whole situation bad imho. Just because he a honest kid telling the truth he shared his concerns about his health, a topic which is related to everyone in the scene, not only his fans. Maybe he does put inhuman effort to be on top of his game given the situation, but adding so much drama to his condition, and constantly pointing out he feels handicapped in his practice time or ingame because of this, makes his competitors look really weak, given his ever dominant record, despite the fact he dropped from the starleagues last season. Maybe he is not doing that by intention but thats the by product of his statements. And given the fact Flash became really cocky in the recent seasons (Saying he cant possibly be beaten in MSL, or when asked what he thinks about the other 7 MSL champions in the group selection he replied with "Huh?") I just dont like the fact he is talking so much about it, making all his fans worry about his condition when he is hands down the best player in the world and his play isnt really showing any signs of a health problem.

Someone said if it was bisu, I would've reacted in the same way. Well 2 years ago Bisu constantly complained about map balance, despite being a beast in PL. Anti-fans made fun of all his complains. Ofc both issues are of a completely different nature, but just like in the case with Bisu, I had enough of flash QQing about his wrist after 3-0ing his opponents.

In any case I do wish his wrist heals as fast as possible so that his fans are not as concerned about his health and so he could focus completely on the game.

I understand the issue is quite sensitive for everyone, especially for his fans who got so easily offended by my controversial posts. Ppl overracted to my rant and it all became quite emotional and out of line. I do apologize for sparking such a flame fest. But I do stand by my words and even thou the way I worded myself was provocative some of the reactions I got were premature as well. Especially about me abusing my status here.

I will make it up for you all by making some wonderful gfx for the MSL finals, which would make even the heart of flash himself warm

Don't worry disciple. You're not alone. I'm a casual neutral party here, and I think you have a point when you say Flash is somehow milking this issue. Flash fans are just emotional about it, so don't mind them.


You're not neutral and neither is Disciple. You may think yourself to be neutral but I bet you feel some cognitive dissonance when you typed that out.

So you're my psychiatrist now? I don't think about subconscious thing or what I may mean by what I say. It's just straight talk. I say it as I mean it. I have no interest in this. I dont care whether Flash or Zero or FBH or Mind or even you wins this MSL. I just want to watch good BW games.


So says the man who dislikes Flash's fans and has a long posting history supporting Hydra.

It doesn't really matter what you say, even if you are joking/being utterly serious your posting history betrays you. Its like suggesting, I dunno, ForSC2 being unbiased towards Bisu - he could well be neutral but his posting history suggests otherwise.

Supporting Hydra vs Flash semifinals does not mean I hate Flash or I will die for Hydra on all his games. You saying that only exposes you're level of understanding about things. Sorry.


Never suggested you disliked Flash, only suggested you dislike his fans. Don't see where I'm wrong when you post this sort of stuff:

Precisely. This thread is only strong proof of this.

Flash just needs to hurry up and switch to Toss, so he can spend 100 apm less to make carriers and click randomly and win.

And then we can finally have a Toss bonjwa.

If Flash's comments about the condition of his wrists are evoking sympathy, so be it. It's a normal response to feel concerned about a player if they are having health issues, regardless of how they affect his game. The alternative of not answering a question about the condition of your wrists/hands with a simple comment about the deteriorating condition of your wrists/hands is pretty ridiculous.

And if his comments somehow make his opponents look bad (i.e. lololol he lost to a guy with a wrist injury that may or may not have affected his performance in game but evidently affected his practice time) then either it's no one's fault but the people who perceive his opponents as being sucky, or it's simply true that Flash is so good that he can pwn other players even with carpal tunnel.

Stop the Flash-hating and the "fanboy here, fanbody there" accusations. Fanboyism and anti Fanboyism are going way too far lately, also in the LR threads. Locking for the moment.
