Q 两赛季之后回归决赛的感言 Q what are your feelings at coming back to the finals after two seasons A 虽然这段时间不算长,但在我心中已经是很长的时间了。我备受指责说我竞技力 不如从前,我很高兴现在能让我摆脱这种指责了。 A even though this is not a long period of time, it feels like forever to me. I've been criticized as not being as good as my past self, so I am very happy that I can escape that criticism for now.
Q 上赛季止步32强赛让你感触良多. Q how did you feel after last season's finish in the round of 32 A 好久没有进决赛了,我很激动。现在就像是第一次进决赛的感觉。好想快点打决 赛啊。 A It's been a long time since I've been to the finals, I'm very excited. Right now I feel like its my first time going to a finals. I really want to play the finals match right now
Q 4强赛是怎么准备的 Q how did you prepare for the semi-finals A 我的手伤越来越严重了,所以上周我好好休息了一下,本周开始进行了3~4天的努 力练习。我一点都没休息,我努力地练习练到手都要断了。 A my wrist injury has been getting worse and worse, so I rested a lot last week, starting this week I began a 3-4 day hard practice. I didn't rest one bit, I put in a lot of effort and practiced till my hands were falling off.
Q 上一场半决赛jaedong出局你是否遗憾 Q in the first semifinal group Jaedong lost, do you regret that? A 总觉得很不好受。我无法用语言表达。我希望在决赛中遇到的宿敌jaedong桑苏输 了,感觉就像我自己输掉一样不好受。jaedong桑苏是优秀的选手,我觉得他总有一 天能重新打进决赛。 A I feel a bit uncomfortable with it. I can't really express it with words. The Jaedong-hyun that I wished to meet in the finals has lost, the feeling is just as bad as if I had lost personally. Jaedong-hyun is an excellent progamer, I believe that one day he will definately make the finals again.
Q 和hydra的比赛取得了压倒性的胜利,对于比赛有什么感受. Q You had an overwhelming victory against Hydra, what are your feelings. A 我觉得对此没啥好说的。在竞技力方面很满意。我对hydra桑苏的竞技力还不是很 了解,所以没啥好说的。 A I don't really have a lot to say about this. I'm very satisfied with these games. I still don't completely understand the way Hydra-hyun plays, so I have no comment right now.
Q 决赛又要遇到Z,信心有多少 Q The finals is going to be another Z, how confident are you A 虽说是有信心的,但是我还是觉得是五五开。我看了一下决赛的地图,虽然没有 对人族不利的图,但也没有对人族有利的图。前段时间我的手情况不好, 但昨天手 上的感觉又回来了,我会努力在下周打出精彩的比赛。 A even though I'm confident, I still have to say its a 50-50 chance. I saw the maps for the finals, even though there's no maps that are unfriendly for terran, there are no maps that greatly favor terran either. Recently my hand's condition was not good, but yesterday the feelings in my hands returned, I will work hard to bring exciting games next week.
Q 现在手伤的情况如何了 Q what is the condition of your hands right now? A 据说医院已经治不了了。但是也说没有大的问题。我尽量在没有比赛的时候多多 休息,之后有时间我必须好好治疗一下了。 A Allegedly doctors can no longer completely cure it. But they also say that it is not a huge problem right now. I am trying hard during the times that there are no games to rest a lot, after this when I have time I need to seriously treat it.
Q 你觉得决赛的比分会是多少 Q what do you think the score will be for the finals A 我预计是3:1或是3:2。 A I predict either a 3:1 or 3:2.
Q 想说的话. Q anything more you wish to say? A 能进决赛我感到很骄傲。尝到了如此骄傲的滋味,我要比备战半决赛的时候更加 努力,要打出精彩的比赛让对手觉得“这个桑苏真的非常努力呀。” A I'm very proud to be able to enter the finals. To savor such a flavor, I need to prepare for this even more than I did for the semi-finals, to play such exciting games that it makes the opponent say "this hyun* really put in effort for this."
*TN:not sure about this part now that i think about it, its just a term to refer to someone else with respect I think
Main points to note: Apparently flash's wrists are incurable, this may be a clock counting down to when flash may be forced to retire, as such lets root for this player who overcomes personal injury in order to deliver exciting BW for us to watch, whether you be a flash fan or not.

MSL post-game interview - the one Moktira linked to in the second post of the thread.
Commentator: Flash
Flash: Yes?
Commentator:Congratulations on getting into the finals. How do you feel?
Flash: Pardon?
Commentator: How do you feel about your win?
Flash: Well, first of all, although it's only been a few months, it feels like it's been quite a long time since I've been in a finals. I really practiced like it was life or death. I'll practice until my arms fall off for the finals.
Commentator: You won the first game convincingly but the second game gave you some trouble. It seems like you smiled brightly when you won the game in reflection of how the game was so hard won. What were you thinking in the midst of the game?
Flash: I was thinking a bit about the third game. I was thinking, "I shouldn't put myself in such a position in the third game". I was already doing a bit of mind control [preparing not to be mentally shaken after a loss] but the game progressed and I was able to make a comeback. When I won the game I was certain that I would advance to the finals.
Commentator: Many of your fans are looking forward to you winning the gold badge. Your opponent in the finals is Zero, what do you think about this?
Flash: When it comes to management, I think he is the top Zerg. Generally if the game becomes management vs management I am confident I will win, but when it comes to Zero I can't be certain about the outcome. That's how strong of a player he is.
Commentator: Your semifinals was a ZvT and so will the finals. It seems like this would give you some trouble when it comes to gameplan and strategies. Is there anything you'd like to say to Zero? Like a declaration of war.
Flash: I really didn't like how I was playing TvZ over and over again this MSL. When I played TvZ, I felt like my skills were really deteriorated. When I practiced I would think, "ah, how did I become like this?" So this time I really practiced until my arm swelled up. Right now I managed to bring up my skills really high. If I bring the ability I have right now to the finals, even though my opponent might be Zero, I think I can win.
Commentator: Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans? Any promises and thanks you'd like to give?
Flash I really practiced until I was going to go crazy, so my arm hurts a lot right now. But every time I thought of the fans and remembered how I was knocked out early in the last tournament. I really practiced like my arm was going to break, and I'll practice even harder for the finals.
I like how he tries to put it lightly that he doesn't understand the way Hydra plays instead of just saying he was rubbish tonight haha
I don't get this part though
Allegedly doctors can no longer completely cure it. But they also say that it is not a huge problem right now. I am trying hard during the times that there are no games to rest a lot, after this when I have time I need to seriously treat it.
What does he mean seriously treat it? Why isn't he seriously treating it now before it gets worst and irrepairable? I'm not the biggest flash fan, but this is causing me some serious concern over his wrist injury :/
Yes, every human-being has some weak sides. And we kept saying that Flash does not! But here we go, physical weakness that will most probably lead to his inability to play well in future. I think every genius has some weak sides, so does Flash. But I'm sure, that he will deliver many wonderful games even if the "clock is counting" as somebody have said.

Umm I guess it's something like his condition getting worse if he still keeps enduring this practice schedule while treating his wrists. When you get injury from playing sports, you have to stop playing it for a while and get treated properly. In this case Flash doesn't, because he knows if he stops he'll fall behind. That's why he had to keep pushing himself to the limit.

Right now flash can deal with his wrist injury, if he was to actually treat it, it may involve surgery, and most definately involve not playing starcraft at all for an extended period of time, to him it is unacceptable to do that with a MSL finals incoming, and a proleague post-season one round away. and sad to say, its already at the "worse and irreparable stage" so... yeah, he just wants to eek out as many titles as he can before he has to stop.

'Seriously treating' an (RSI) wrist injury is like months of resting doing nothing that would slow down the healing process (ie. playing bw at 300+ apm).
If you play through pain or by using painkillers etc it will eventually become chronic, meaning you can't ever get rid of it completely, only make it better or worse.
I really hope that they're exaggerating this whole wrist injury thing. I really hope so. :/
But that part about his wrist is very bogus i think. We need more clarifications before jumping to conclusions like, "OMG Flash's career is about to end" ...
Where is everyone getting that he has to retire...one guy mentioned it as pure speculation and then all of a sudden people are saying how his career will end lol
I also wonder what he meant when he said that his doctors said ti was not a problem right now
Wtf is it that serious that he'll have to retire? Please don't jump to conclusions guys, I don't think retire is a correct word. More like taking a break to heal his injuries. He can't just retire like that man hes only 18 or 19 !!!
Lets not jump to conclusions, heres what we can say for sure, his injury is serious enough that flash is paying a lot of attention to it, his practice time and rest time are all calibrated with this injury in mind. The doctors has allegedly stated that the injury is at a state such that no amount of rest will restore it to normal, however it is not serious enough to hinder flash's performance and ability as a progamer, as such flash has decided that he will play with the injury for now, and at a later time attempt to restore it's condition as much as possible. There are no talks of ending careers, however histroy has shown that having a wrist injury would probably indicate an earlier than normal retirement. keep in mind that flash is still relatively young.
Cmon he says doctor said there wont be huge problems at the moment.. Certainly sounds bad though. I think he was waiting for the season to end before treating it seriously, but seeing as KT most likely will make the Playoffs, his treatment looks like they could be heavily delayed. And its not like KT can afford to NOT have Flash play .
Flash you REALLY need to hang in there, even if my motives for wishing so isnt so pure.
Given everything we know about Flash, I don't see him retiring without taking a 7th gold to surpass NaDa, unless his hand basically falls off. Best of luck. :/
(And yet, I'm force to root for ZerO this time around.)
Thanks for translating! I hope someone picks up on the Vod Moktira posted as well :O
I think the issue with his wrist is as such that in order to treat it he'll have to take an actual extended break from BW, but given that he can (with constraints) still perform, he probably will push himself until Proleague playoffs are done (possibly even until next OSL season is done) before taking this break.
Rooting for Flash like never before, everyone except the die-hard Zero fans should be, this might be his last finals despite his overwhelming genius at the game.

I completely agree with you
Flash should be winning this. I will probably cry tears of joy when it happens

This interview has made me sad. I knew it was only a matter of time before he had to stop, but hearing it directly has really put it in place.
Flash has to win this final. It could be his last.
When you say it like that it really makes me sad too... Flash was the first progamer I ever watched and supported, and I most probably will stop following the BW scene if he retires... I guess you could say I'm more of a Flash fan than a BW fan (please don't flame me for this) It really is sad if he has to retire soon...
I just went to fomos.kr to read their version of the same interview and this how they translated Flash's response:
"They can’t fix it at the hospital, they told me it shouldn’t bother me too much. I’ve been going to the oriental medical clinic, but I don’t think it’s helping LOL. I practice under a flexible schedule because of my hands, I rest when I need to. During the stove league I am planning on getting ample rest."
I'm not sure what the 'stove league' is? any ideas?
Thanks for translating! That seems pretty serious for Flash, I can't believe he pushed himself that hard D: . Hopefully he'll be able to recover one day, it's super unsafe to have injuries life that... Anyways, I'd say I'd cheer for Flash, but Zero's playing... So God, you're going down!

Oh comon, flash is only 18. For gods sake he could relearn mouse control with his left hand and still come back onto the top.
FUCK flash please don't "lose" to this injury. Come on wtf is with this. This can't be. You must fucking get cured from this. This would be an untolerable loss for all BW scene. T_T
You're only, m%^^^$f#@$% 18 (!!!) years old! Please take care of your health. You may regret not doing it now just SO much later. Please do something to your state of health RIGHT after this MSL.

Oh yeah, and what about zero? He has been busting his ass off for his entire career, he deserves at least one freakin trophy!
Amen! ZerO has not choked at all, winnings 3 ZvZs in a row and his zvt is rediculously strong nowadays. Main issue if whether flash will mech or bio (mech is easier on hands right? ). Personally, i think that would depend on maps.
Flash should shut the fuck up already. He has my sympathy about his injury and it really sucks for him to play under such conditions, it sucks for the game and his fans in general if he retires.
But you dont beat the current champion 3-0 and talk about wrist problem and how it cannot be cured. What Flash is doing with this is terrible and wrong because:
It makes the competition look like a complete bunch of incompetent idiots
Basically can use the issue as an excuse whenever he feels like it.
Flash is like oov cocky and arrogant at this point.

I agree. He tries to be subtle, but he seems arrogant when he can show it.
Slightly different view but maybe that's just how the translation worked but it seemed that he was more concerned about his wrist than using it as an excuse. Also I'm wondering WHAT is wrong with his wrist since I don't know if there've been any TL'ers who happen to know/have made threads.
But yeah, he's kind of arrogant but I guess if you just mopped the floor with the current champion 3-0, you deserve to be confident.
Also WHAT was there to talk about? He didn't (allegedly) understand Hydra's play which would probably dwindle the amount of possibilities for conversation, but again maybe that's just me.

He gets asked about his wrists every interview. What is he supposed to do? Say "yeah shit hurts but let's talk about the game that I already answered all your questions about" or just outright lie? Sure it might make him seem arrogant but then again: he is kinda arrogant. No excuses there. But to say that he uses it as a potential crutch or to make his opponents seem worse is not really fair at all
Hahaha. Say something not favoring Flash and his rabid fanboys come out. It's not even a common ailment among progamers that one could say it comes with the territory, Maybe he pushes his wrist to hard when playing? All I'm saying is that he shouldnt make a fuss out of it. Just say its fine, and doctors are attending to it, or something. No need for the uncurable drama. He could use this later to his advantage no matter what.
It makes the competition look like a complete bunch of incompetent idiots
You are exaggerate. Your favorite player lost - deal with it, don't bring your shit on the player. And you better learn to read interview till the end.
Flash: "Recently my hand's condition was not good, but yesterday the feelings in my hands returned, I will work hard to bring exciting games next week. " i.e. "I can perform at 100% for now" Flash never made excuses due to his wrist, even when he was out from OSL/MSL he said that wrist had nothing to do with it.
Hydra is fine player but gap in skills was obvious. Maybe he was too nervous and underperformed, but proper mentality is also part of the skills. I hope this experience will be useful to him, though I prefer Soulkey/Zero as the new S-class generation of zergs =)
I just listened to the interview and he does not seem to be all that worried about his wrists. Most of what he says is that he will practice to the extreme and to the point that his wrist will fall off but doesn't actually state that it's unplayable with it. In fact, he says that taking a break had helped but then for 3-4 days he played like a madman in order to prepare.

Thanks for translation! People who accuse him of making up excuses and being cocky need to take a break from TL imo, long one.For everyone's good.Seriously how stupid can you be to say such bullshit after reading tons of his interviews, observing him, and basically following every opinion he makes in public.
Damn, I got quite worried reading about Flash's wrist, but those haters put a smile on my face again. No Flash interview is complete without someone trying to misinterpret what he says lol.

Did you even listen to the interview? He said over and over again how he's at the condition he is at now because he practiced "until his arms hurt". He was saying how he was disappointed with his TvZ losses recently so he practiced. He wasn't even trying to insinuate that Hydra is a terrible player because he destroyed Hydra even when he had a wrist problem. He steered the conversation towards the idea that he played well because he practiced a lot.
Either you didn't actually listen to the interview or you've completely misunderstood and misconstrued what he said.

This seems like a completely unfounded thing to say at this point. If Flash was slumping hard then it might possibly have some weight ("Oh he just wants to use his wrist as an excuse for losing so much"), but he's not losing and doesn't appear to be in danger of falling into a slump anytime soon, either.
You make it sound like Flash just stopped trying, started losing constantly, and is trying to use his wrist as an excuse.
But yeah whatever, I guess an 18 year old kid should have an angel's grace and temperance and just never talk about his serious wrist injury that might force him into early retirement.
Ah, disciple was talking about the translation from the Chinese interview. I thought he was talking about the post-game MSL interview. But you were still way too hasty.

but why the fuck he needs to bring this up in every god damn interview ? when asked, I guess he can just reply shit is ok and that will be the end of it. now we get to read how he practiced till his hand hurt, that doctors cant heal it and shit like that. Ofc he is not trying to bury Hydra directly but thats exactly what he is doing the way I see it. Flash has been talking about this wrist thing for about 6 months now and whats his record? I doubt he is on some painkillers he cant sleep from, obviously the problem isn't as major as he makes it to be, nor he is about to stop playing anytime soon. When oov hurt his wrist he straight up retired, there is some major thing going on there for the gamers if shit fucks up. Its really annoying reading this shit in every interview cause it makes his fans think he is not playing his best or and on the other hand that his "not best" rapes everyone else.

But the shit is not ok. He gets asked about his wrist condition because its important, and this way he can keep the fans updated. And the problem is severe enough that he has to rely on cortisone shots to relieve the pain and swelling. Its not a permanent solution, but it allows him to keep playing for now. People are concerned, interviewers ask, flash answers.
It comes down to either completely retiring, which he doesn't want to do, address the problem, which means take a leave for at least a few months (with no practicing) which will hurt his condition a lot, or patch fix it which is what he's been doing for some time, so he can still compete.
If you get so annoyed reading flash interviews, just don't.

But you dont beat the current champion 3-0 and talk about wrist problem and how it cannot be cured. What Flash is doing with this is terrible and wrong because:
It makes the competition look like a complete bunch of incompetent idiots
Basically can use the issue as an excuse whenever he feels like it.
Flash is like oov cocky and arrogant at this point.
Really? A player gets an injury that the doctors say is incurable and you flame him for saying something about it when asked directly? It's not as if he is trying to bury Hydra on purpose and even if that had been the case it would only be 100% just payback for Hydra's little group of death.

Did you even listen to the interview? He said over and over again how he's at the condition he is at now because he practiced "until his arms hurt". He was saying how he was disappointed with his TvZ losses recently so he practiced. He wasn't even trying to insinuate that Hydra is a terrible player because he destroyed Hydra even when he had a wrist problem. He steered the conversation towards the idea that he played well because he practiced a lot.
Either you didn't actually listen to the interview or you've completely misunderstood and misconstrued what he said.
but why the fuck he needs to bring this up in every god damn interview ? when asked, I guess he can just reply shit is ok and that will be the end of it. now we get to read how he practiced till his hand hurt, that doctors cant heal it and shit like that. Ofc he is not trying to bury Hydra directly but thats exactly what he is doing the way I see it. Flash has been talking about this wrist thing for about 6 months now and whats his record? I doubt he is on some painkillers he cant sleep from, obviously the problem isn't as major as he makes it to be, nor he is about to stop playing anytime soon. When oov hurt his wrist he straight up retired, there is some major thing going on there for the gamers if shit fucks up. Its really annoying reading this shit in every interview cause its makes his fans think he is not playing his best or and on the other hand that his "not best" rapes everyone else.
Seeing as how Flash thinks he's playing on tip top form, if anyone thinks that Flash was inconvenienced by his wrist whenever he loses, then they're simply annoying, and that's that. It's equally as annoying if someone like you pops in and says "Flash is making the competition look like a farce because he's beating them when his wrist is injured". You're talking as if Flash brings up the topic in every interview, which he doesn't. The focal point in his answers in both of his interviews was practice.
The way I see it, you people are twisting and turning and bending his words all out of shape for whatever reasons.

But the shit is not ok. He gets asked about his wrist condition because its important, and this way he can keep the fans updated. And the problem is big enough that he has to rely on cortisone shots to relieve the pain and swelling. Its not a permanent solution, but it allows him to keep playing for now. People are concerned, interviewers ask, flash answers.
It comes down to either completely retiring, which he doesn't want to do, address the problem, which means take a leave for at least a few months (with no practicing) which will hurt his condition a lot, or patch fix it which is what he's been doing for some time, so he can still compete.
If you get so annoyed reading flash interviews, just don't.
it just happens that he is in every winners interview ^_^ I want to read some progamer generic stuff how they will practice hard to become better and that the weather is cold outside. Not the fucking grey's anatomy script

Commentator: How do you feel about your win?
Flash: Well, first of all, although it's only been a few months, it feels like it's been quite a long time since I've been in a finals. I really practiced like it was life or death. I'll practice until my arms fall off for the finals.
Commentator: Your semifinals was a ZvT and so will the finals. It seems like this would give you some trouble when it comes to gameplan and strategies. Is there anything you'd like to say to Zero? Like a declaration of war.
Flash: I really didn't like how I was playing TvZ over and over again this MSL. When I played TvZ, I felt like my skills were really deteriorated. When I practiced I would think, "ah, how did I become like this?" So this time I really practiced until my arm swelled up. Right now I managed to bring up my skills really high. If I bring the ability I have right now to the finals, even though my opponent might be Zero, I think I can win.
Commentator: Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans? Any promises and thanks you'd like to give?
Flash I really practiced until I was going to go crazy, so my arm hurts a lot right now. But every time I thought of the fans and remembered how I was knocked out early in the last tournament. I really practiced like my arm was going to break, and I'll practice even harder for the finals.

If that's the case, you would also want to deny his concerned fans information regarding his wrist condition. I'm sure you wouldn't want to do that.
People are worried about Flash. It's not exactly up to you to determine which questions his worried fans (the interviewer(s) in this case) will ask him.
Chill meng, Flash isn't trying to discredit anyone's play, including his own.

Well in that case next time you need an interview, find a picture of said progamer and insert the following (should work with almost anyone except Zero/Soulkey who are doing AWESOME interviews):
You won today. I feel very lucky and thankful I practiced very hard and it payed off.
You seem to be doing well on this map. I feel that the map is well balanced. There is no advantage for any race.
It looked dangerous there for a second. My opponent is very good, luckily I was able to defend his attack well.
Any last words? I would like to thank my family and my fans as well as all the teammates that helped me practice.

ABC MSL Finals winner interview
Congratulations, you are now even with NaDa on starleague titles! Anything you want to say about it
Flash: It feels incredible. However, I cant drink any champaign now cause alcohol shouldn't mix with the painkillers I'm taking for my wrist. I wasn't even sure I could play in this final, doctor said I wont make it. But I practiced hard till I couldnt hold a glass with my hand and it paid of. I was lucky to 3-0 ZerO who is like the best zerg player right now, I was expecting 3-2 if Im honest at best.
or...
random PL winners interview
You recently lost the MSL final. Any regrets about it? How is your wrist btw?
Flash: Glad you asked that. My wrist cannot be healed, there is no way around it. I couldn't practice because of it, had a couple of games with Hoejja the night before the final but it was like playing against the computer, I wanted to have my timings right and rely on my basics. It still wasnt enough thou and I'm sad I lost 2-3 to my opponent,whatwashisname.

I wonder if you reacted this way when people were saying Bisu's "wrist injury" was the reason Flash knocked him out of Bacchus 08 because Bisu decided to bring it up in a later interview. Or when Jaedong was sick and lost to Flash last year. Progamers update people about their conditions every single time they have one and Flash happens to A: have a chronic condition and B: Get asked about it every time he wins. Unless you want him to lie, why jump on him for something everyone does?
On the topic of Flash's record: He's no longer the #1 proleague player, and last season he got knocked out of both tournaments in straight up embarrassing fashion to bad/newbie players, and didn't make a single excuse. Now when he's winning and talks about it, you assume he's using his wrist as an excuse?
And frankly, yeah, this is Flash at his not best. Flash at his best was the completely merciless monster we saw last year, not this slightly less monstrous but still best player we see now. You've been on Flash's back promoting hydra as a legitimate upset because "CJ Zerg" and the second he gets thoroughly beaten you pick the one slightly controversial thing Flash says in his interview and use it to bash him ceaselessly. That's not cool.

Come now.. I dont think hes thinking all that at all , maybe he is complaining a little more than he should, but heh isnt something to get to angry about yes?
On another note, Flash pissing on Hydra only makes me happy.. Only if he can diss him even less subtly than he did ("I cant say much about Hydra's play... I didnt understand the way he played, etc") xD

In my opinion, Zero has more sportmanship than anyone else. He is a humble man who respects his opponents. Flash is pretty standard in that department. The thing is, he did indeed play worse than usual in the semifinals, especially in game 2. Anyone who watched most of Flash's games will agree that he is not in his prime. The only fact is, Flash off-prime is still better than 99% of the other progamers.
Jaedong's sportsmanship is actually a little worse than Flash's.
That... bulge wasnt the "injury" right? Just some natural deformaties that appears on some people (i have known a few people w bulging bones at the wrong places that look completely weird, but they say its normal for them)..

It is. He stated in earlier interviews that he has been getting cortisone shots in his wrist to reduce swelling and relieve pain so he could play (a temporary fix) :x
Being the starcraft fan that I am, I asked my anatomy professor about carpal tunnel's and she told me surgery which cuts the ligament in the wrist does the job even for most serious cases.
For sake of his career, KTFlash, and fans, I think Flash should get the surgery and take few months off =/
for the sake of his career I think he should take a serious break from progaming. he mentions numerous times in the interview after the match that he "practiced until his arms felt like falling off" and how he will practice even harder than that for the final and personally I feel that theres a point where you cross the line between hard work and overstrain. the worst case scenario is that he won't be able to play anymore and if that happens everything becomes meaningless. health first. flash please don't overdo it..
Yea I really hope Flash takes a few months off to rest. Hes still young so there's plenty of time left for progaming in him. It would break my heart if he had to retire like that.
I can't accept that Flash would be that stupid. Surely he just made the decision that even he can't overcome a months long break from practicing and would rather just burn out extending his reign as bonjwa for as long as possible, for the record books, and then move on to a new career. Surely he's not just ignoring the problem of his injury in the hopes that it will go away....
As much I like to see Flash lose, I don't wanna see him go just yet. This is like the biggest waste of talent in BW.

I remember this and all the while this is what I thought to be the cause. Well I guess he overworked himself and it resulted to this, I hope he learns to rest more.
Of course he knows its not going to go away by itself, he's not dumb. Odds are after surgery he still will never be 100% again. Best case scenario for him would be to sit out the post-season (and stx masters, etc), take the entire summer, get whatever treatments/surgery/etc he needs, and after recovery sees if he can ever get back to it again. There's no happy ending here
And to all the flash haters, sure your favorite players will have an easier time winning titles if he wasn't around, but it also wouldn't have the same glory as beating the best of the best :/
well, whenever flash loses or plays bad in his games its always him blaming it on lack of practice which was caused by his wrist injury, it is so cheap. he should really start to respect his opponents whenever he loses the game instead of smiling arrogantly for 5 minutes in the booth while looking at the screen and then exit the booth and walk away like a boss.
flash is probably the best player out there right now in terms of in-game mechanics, while on the other hand he is probably the most dumb person outside the game. just look how he is praising jaedong for being an "EXCELLENT" player:
A I feel a bit uncomfortable with it. I can't really express it with words. The Jaedong-hyun that I wished to meet in the finals has lost, the feeling is just as bad as if I had lost personally. Jaedong-hyun is an excellent progamer, I believe that one day he will definately make the finals again.
he thinks that jaedong will be at top more longer than him. it is because of him being the dumb and killing his condition with overkill practice schedules while jaedong can keep the amount at normal which he is capable and be more efficent with it. we also see whenever jaedong does what flash have been doing in the past, which have caused him throw games to rookies such as Baby in very important times. If these doesnt suit u all, then just take a look at ggplay and his injury.
Ironically if flash loses this final, which would be normal, watch how he is gonna blame it on his injury and lack of practice even though he knows and acknowledges how zero can be very good sometimes and then continue playing for another starleague run.
his will and wits are admirable, but he is just too dumb. or maybe unlucky?

I dont know where you got your facts from.. But your hates aside (every1 hates on someone, like how i hate Hydra w a passion :x), Flash wins with something else rather than his in-game mechanics alone. In fact, his in-game mechanics can hardly be argued to be the best. Imo, Bisu Jaedong and a few others have better mechanics than he does.. What help Flash even the odds is that "ingenuity magic" of his, along w this new hack called "star sense" (others have too, just less).

Your post reeks of baseless hatred, I hope you can see that at least. Flash has never blamed his losses on his wrists, even when they might have been the cause. ALL progamers, when addressed in interviews with statements like "You lost in the MSL ro16" reply along the lines of "I clearly wasn't prepared enough, I apologize to my fans and I'll try better next time". Flash is extremely manner, and he's friends with both JD and Zero, of course he's going to say good things about them. If flash ends up losing in the finals, when asked about it in a following interview he'll congratulate Zero and say he'll try better next time (assuming he doesn't retire because of his wrist), he will not (nor has he ever) say anything like what you wrote.

Wow this guy is very very reluctant to read past interviews. When flash lost last time, he said he could've done better, not "i practiced too much and broke my wrists."
Let's just hope Flash can win another dual finals before he's finished.

Congratulations, you are now even with NaDa on starleague titles! Anything you want to say about it
Flash: It feels incredible. However, I cant drink any champaign now cause alcohol shouldn't mix with the painkillers I'm taking for my wrist. I wasn't even sure I could play in this final, doctor said I wont make it. But I practiced hard till I couldnt hold a glass with my hand and it paid of. I was lucky to 3-0 ZerO who is like the best zerg player right now, I was expecting 3-2 if Im honest at best.
or...
random PL winners interview
You recently lost the MSL final. Any regrets about it? How is your wrist btw?
Flash: Glad you asked that. My wrist cannot be healed, there is no way around it. I couldn't practice because of it, had a couple of games with Hoejja the night before the final but it was like playing against the computer, I wanted to have my timings right and rely on my basics. It still wasnt enough thou and I'm sad I lost 2-3 to my opponent,whatwashisname.
Nice hahaha. I really fault Flash not because he brings it up, niterviewers ask him after all, but because he volunteers useless information about it that will give him leverage, just as disiple says. Just say its being treated end of story next question. No need for the incurable painkiller drama. Look at this for example:
Commentator: Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans? Any promises and thanks you'd like to give?
Flash I really practiced until I was going to go crazy, so my arm hurts a lot right now. But every time I thought of the fans and remembered how I was knocked out early in the last tournament. I really practiced like my arm was going to break, and I'll practice even harder for the finals.
[/quote]
Did he really need to mention his arm in such a manner. Everybody makes sacrifices. This is just being dramatic about it. I could also imagine his interview when he loses in the MSL finals going like this:
Commentator: Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans? Any promises and thanks you'd like to give?
Flash: Glad you asked that. My wrist cannot be healed, there is no way around it. I thought of how I was eliminated last season so I practiced even though me arm hurt so much that I felt like dying. I had a couple of games with Hoejja the night before the final but it was like playing against the computer, I wanted to have my timings right and rely on my basics. In the game, my arm finally gave in, so I played with my left hand and using the mouse only. Even though I prepared hard for my fans, I'm sorry to lose even though I still had my left hand functioning well. I promise to practice to death until my left hand falls off also.
It is a pretty common expression in Korean. In example, "I'm going to study until I go crazy". From the way you guys are taking it, I'm just going to have to assume that you guys are lacking a certain cultural understanding and sensibility.

Just as I though disciple's misinterpretation cannot be topped lol. How the hell did you manage to get everything so wrong? It's almost uncanny...
I don't think it is fair to say that his wrists are detrimental to his play in the match, so it's not a crutch for losing or winning. He has never used that as an excuse unlike other players who keep mentioning about poor health etc. It just hurts and that's a fact, what else is he supposed to say about it?
Hmm my long-existent stance against S-class apologists remains, but in all honesty, disciple seems to be replying to future posts by some fanboys instead of purely addressing Flash's conduct in interviews. Flash isn't saying anything wrong. But disciple knows that when Flash's to anyone, including Zero, the accomplishment of the opponent is diminished because people will claim Flash's wrist played a hand in his defeat (+10 points for the pun). But that's not Flash's fault. If Flash was perfectly healthy and lost, people still wouldn't accept that the opponent simply played better. It's the nature of morons.
As for disciple's other piece of criticism, I dismiss it entirely! Flash has been the best in the game hands down for the last two years by a fairly large margin (I'm sorry Jaedong, but you had 3 shots at him after power outage and you didn't cut it). If other players can't touch him even when he's injured, than that just shows how good Flash is... Other players don't want to look bad? Win some games, please.
Anyway, disciple's follow up posts show some intense emotional bias....
Flash will more than likely play for a few more months, then probably after doing all he can do, retire from BW, get surgery on his hand, and then rest for a year or so before switching over to SC2 where he can take up a new challenge while using the year off to get the basics from the game.
Hopefully he wins the MSL Finals since he's my favorite player. Also, the whole, 'Why is he bringing up his wrist injury?' is a silly comment. Look at any sport where the best player has an injury. All they are ever asked about is that injury and how they're dealing with it. If the best player in a sport could retire from said injury, the reporters would be going crazy with the questions. If Flash leaves BW, that's a huge blow to the whole scene.

I think the issue with his wrist is as such that in order to treat it he'll have to take an actual extended break from BW, but given that he can (with constraints) still perform, he probably will push himself until Proleague playoffs are done (possibly even until next OSL season is done) before taking this break.
Rooting for Flash like never before, everyone except the die-hard Zero fans should be, this might be his last finals despite his overwhelming genius at the game.

But you dont beat the current champion 3-0 and talk about wrist problem and how it cannot be cured. What Flash is doing with this is terrible and wrong because:
It makes the competition look like a complete bunch of incompetent idiots
Basically can use the issue as an excuse whenever he feels like it.
Flash is like oov cocky and arrogant at this point.
With this attitude it sounds like he should just play SC2 that way his hands will last longer.
If all he can think about are his wrists after winning then the pain must be legit.

Why would Flash play a game that won't reward him for the amount of work he puts into it?

Name an interview where Flash blamed a loss on his hands. After the Power Outage MSL, Flash was a gentleman and said that rattled nerves from the G3 fiasco had NOT been a factor in G4 --- an obvious white lie in order to not discredit Jaedong's victory. (Flash's G4 was bullshit and it was clear that the unfair circumstances had shaken him.) Generally I have observed Flash to be very respectful towards fellow players. Flash also says very kind things about his teammates, giving confidence to the rookies, and is friends with players from several other teams (Effort, Jaedong, Fantasy at least).
People think Flash is arrogant because he's the best. So what if he smiles when he loses? Being able to appreciate your opponent's good play even in defeat is actually a mark of good sportsmanship.
Zero on the other hand is always bashing his teammates and saying cocky things like "I played so well I gave myself chills." If Flash were 1% as BM as Zero then basically everyone would loathe him.
Also Baby isn't a rookie.
Basically everything you said is wrong. Whatever, you're still going to hate Flash and think all the same things you already think. The only reason I typed this out is that your post aggravated me by being so conceited, so, troll accomplished I guess.

Of course Zero has a personality. As for BM, Firebathero is one of my all-time favorite players. But if they won as much as Flash did, people would get tired of their personalities real fast. (OK, maybe not FBH.) Flash is about as polite and respectful as it gets, and people think he's arrogant --- I'm just contrasting him with people who actually say arrogant things instead of being "arrogant" by winning too much.
Flash wouldn't be the first top class pro sporter to kill off his own career. Practicing so much at such a young age will have consequences, and he is just paying the price. Obviously he should take a break but a guy with his mindset might get hurt more (mentally) by not practicing. His coaches should defend him against himself but history tells us not to expect too much in that field from KT.
About the bad manner: I think that Flash really did practice his ass off because he was impressed by Hydra's play of late. However his opponent kinda imploded and Flash had an easy match where he expected a hard-fought battle. He's just disappointed, that's all.
bisu wouldve been the best player ever if he practised until he destroyed his wrists like flash did, but i guess he wants to stay in the game a bit longer

1) I've never once seen him blame a loss on his injury or lack of practice, and I read every one of his interviews. 2) He never said that Jaedong will be at the top longer than him. He said that he thinks Jaedong will make the finals again. What the hell are you talking about? Are you aware of the fact that more than one person can make the finals? 3) Flash made six straight finals and won four of them last year, and is now in the finals again. Did Jaedong do this? No. Clearly, Flash's methods are working out for now. 4) How the hell would it be normal for Flash to lose the final? He's won his last 7 BO5's and this is the first time ever that Zero's made it to the finals. Clearly you're just mad because Flash won. Stop being an idiot.

tbh this started with disciple's rants which seemed to have unofficially condoned this line of posts in here due to him being a red. Even as a red though that rant was over the line and inappropriate. He said Flash should lie and say "shit is ok" when asked about his wrists, well its not and his fans are actually worried and want to be updated about his condition. You can bet that if it were Bisu that developed symptoms or an illness that could threaten his career disciple and all the other Bisu fans would want every update possible, and they wouldn't appreciate people going into Bisu interview threads saying "Bisu should just stfu already and just say he's ok, stop hiding behind those injuries".
Flash's wrist is visibly wrong, it is not a faked illness. It is extremely serious, and it matters to his fans. For all the Flash haters that followed after disciple, you guys hate flash? great, you don't need to shit all over this thread. He didn't say anything BM in his interview. He has never, not once excused his losses on his wrists. I don't even know where these latest arguments come from, like him being bm because he smiles when he loses or that flash is dumb for praising his friends JD and Zero..
When one of the leading stars in any sport has a serious illness/condition, he will get asked about it, and often because its important. He shouldn't have to lie about it so his antifans can be happier. I was actually dumbfounded by the level of some of the comments in this thread.

You are ridiculous and unbelievable. He's not trying to be cocky and arrogant. He's an 18 year old kid with a serious wrist problem that everyone wants to know about, so they're all asking about it.

I suppose you have a Ph.D in psychology from the excellent analysis you just put out, right? I mean, there's no other way that you could make that incredible examination of Flash's personality and actions right? Especially in the lack of evidence that you somehow create out of nowhere?

id hardly call it some pain since hes getting needles for it =/ the word 'incurable' doesnt really inspire confidence
bisus playing very good starcraft atm and he is already one of the greatests ever. he should be very proud of himself, i dont consider his awesome streak in proleague 'nothing'
The big difference is that Bisu can actually take a break because they have Fantasy to do something about it. Fantasy in important games is probably the most dangerous player out there. You get Jaedong or Flash to take any sort of a break and the whole team collapses and they know that so they keep on playing despite any physical problems.
I wouldn't be surprised if he just takes a really long break after Proleague, there's only one round left and if they can't reach 2nd or 1st they'll just do what they did last year and ride the momentum.

tbh this started with disciple's rants which seemed to have unofficially condoned this line of posts in here due to him being a red. Even as a red though that rant was over the line and inappropriate. He said Flash should lie and say "shit is ok" when asked about his wrists, well its not and his fans are actually worried and want to be updated about his condition. You can bet that if it were Bisu that developed symptoms or an illness that could threaten his career disciple and all the other Bisu fans would want every update possible, and they wouldn't appreciate people going into Bisu interview threads saying "Bisu should just stfu already and just say he's ok, stop hiding behind those injuries".
Flash's wrist is visibly wrong, it is not a faked illness. It is extremely serious, and it matters to his fans. For all the Flash haters that followed after disciple, you guys hate flash? great, you don't need to shit all over this thread. He didn't say anything BM in his interview. He has never, not once excused his losses on his wrists. I don't even know where these latest arguments come from, like him being bm because he smiles when he loses or that flash is dumb for praising his friends JD and Zero..
When one of the leading stars in any sport has a serious illness/condition, he will get asked about it, and often because its important. He shouldn't have to lie about it so his antifans can be happier. I was actually dumbfounded by the level of some of the comments in this thread.
Fucking bravo. Took the words right out of my mind.
i'd hate to see flash be turned into a what if story if his wrists get to a point where he is not able to compete anymore. he really should take a long break and let his wrists relieve the stress hes been putting on them. better that he can have a chance to continue his career than push himself for just one more season and be forced to call it quits. (unless hes been planning to go back to school and change his life path or something or the other)

What if stories generally involves a promising youngster cut down before achieving what was obviously his for the taking...I think flash has already taken enough titles to exclude him from a what if story. I mean...the only way to make flash more successful in a season is to make a new tournament for him to sweep a season more dominantly than 2010
Q 上一场半决赛jaedong出局你是否遗憾 Q in the first semifinal group Jaedong lost, do you regret that? A 总觉得很不好受。我无法用语言表达。我希望在决赛中遇到的宿敌jaedong桑苏输 了,感觉就像我自己输掉一样不好受。jaedong桑苏是优秀的选手,我觉得他总有一 天能重新打进决赛。 A I feel a bit uncomfortable with it. I can't really express it with words. The Jaedong-hyun that I wished to meet in the finals has lost, the feeling is just as bad as if I had lost personally. Jaedong-hyun is an excellent progamer, I believe that one day he will definately make the finals again.
This is spoken like a true champion imo. Flash is growing up to become a very mature competitor.
I don't see how anyone can say Flash is arrogant, he always come off as so humble and mature in his interviews. He is a true superstar and I know I will be cheering for him in the finals.

I practice under a flexible schedule because of my hands, I rest when I need to. During the stove league I am planning on getting ample rest."
I'm not sure what the 'stove league' is? any ideas?

Thank you. Spot on. Anybody with some sense / rationale should and would agree with you. I'm quite disappointed by Disciple's rant. It was really over the line and unnecessary... If you're not a flash fan and don't like him much, SHUT UP! Just don't abuse your Red status...
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.

But you still don't get it. Flash never said or even hinted at things you accused him of. What he says is "Yes, I have problems with my wrist, it hurts a lot, but despite it I'm putting everything in incoming matches"...just look at this:
Flash - I really practiced until I was going to go crazy, so my arm hurts a lot right now. But every time I thought of the fans and remembered how I was knocked out early in the last tournament. I really practiced like my arm was going to break, and I'll practice even harder for the finals.
He isn't saying he cannot practice properly because of the hand...he says quite the opposite, that he practice like crazy despite of it! How the fuck can anybody think he is disrespecting his opponents when he says things like that?
Your interpretation of the interview is exactly that - only your (and other antifans) interpretation. Not what Flash said, not what Flash meant, not what almost everybody else understand.
Flash fans are annoyed because you (and others) are literally putting things into his mouth, things he didn't say. Here is something he actually said, after last season individual leagues fiasco
- Does your arm pain have anything to do with your dropping out of both leagues? ▲ No, that’s not true. Though it had been hurting for a while, right now it’s almost a relief I only have proleague to practice for. I’ll work on taking care of my health so I can show a better side of myself.
He has never blamed his performance on his hand. What he wants to say, what almost everybody here understands, is that despite health problems, he is putting everything into his matches. He wants to consolide his fans without outright lying to them.
And here comes the big revelation. Flash makes this interview for his fans! Suprising, eh? He shouldn't give a fuck which twisted meaning his haters try to find in it. He wants to reach to his fans, tell them how he feels, which difficulties he has and how he copes with them. I got the message and I'm sure many other did too. It's only your problem that you see there things which aren't true.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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:

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.

Precisely. This thread is only strong proof of this.

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.
