lol he is no longer god if you dont know. I read this and I understand why Flash haters feel the way they do. So much drama. He can quit temporarily and get treatment if it bothers him. Why continue playing and martyring himself. He just sounds like a dbag when he whens, and a sour unsportsman loser when he loses. He is using this to his advantage. It is unfortunate that one of the greatest BW player will end this way.


Geez, this is how BW fans treat a progamer for being honest in his interviews? Grow up. The very best in sports talk about their injuries all the time. It's part of the game, and should in no way diminish what their opponent accomplishes, only that they were able to transcend their physical limitations. You think the Utah Jazz were pissed off because Jordan was able to torch them for 38 points and complained about a fever? No. They were pissed off because DESPITE him having a fever, they got roflstomped.

I keep noticing this anti-Flash-injury sentiment, and it's getting annoying. Let the man have his say. He keeps getting asked these questions so he'll keep answering them. If you don't like the fact that an injured Flash can still destroy your favorite players, well, tough - deal with it.

On topic:

This is such a good opportunity for Stats/Tempest/Action/CH to step their game up. Also looking forward to Barracks. Right now Hoejja's the ace and a damn good one hahaha


No, this is now his official excuse for every loss, he keeps whining about his wrist, smiling in the booth, being arrogant in his interviews, I like his games, but I can't like him as a person, and yes it is sad, I've never seen JD whine about his stomach problems he used to have several times, or any other progamer!
"The very best in sports talk about their injuries all the time."
Intentionally talking about health problems has nothing to do with sports.


Wrists are very important to esports the same way the body is to professional sports, it's a perfectly apt analogy. That you extrapolate Flash is a bad person for not taking losses too seriously and talking about said injury is baffling to me, it's like you're actively searching for reasons to dislike him. You're perfectly allowed to, but it's just saddening for me that people hate him for such things.

You are partly right, I do use this apt analogy, just to solidify my impression on a person, that I got long before the health discussion arose. I'm just giving my attitude to such kind of things. Its my opinion as a person. I like humble people, that is one of the reasons I like JD, however he also used to be ballsy sometimes, but it looked really qute, and perfectly inplace ^^.


I don't think it's possible to have any less shallow or unfounded dislike for a player as what you have


I'LL SHOW YOU

I hate Jaedong because his name has dong in it and that is clearly obscene, how dare he!

You're always involved in these petty squabbles. Hmmm. With these kind of posts I understand why.

well, they have a good reason, now that flash said it, you can be sure that for the next two years you will hear Flash fanbois say "he would have won if it wasn't for his wrist problems" every time Flash losses...

... on the other hand they already do that anyway.. =)

You're hating a guy for talking about his wrist injury in an interview when specifically asked
Q: How bad is the injury/illness?
? And then you're labeling him arrogant for showing some semblance of emotion when he wins? Do you not see how ridiculous you sound?

of course every player will lose alot in his career. but lets be honest here...flash is arguably the best to ever play broodwar and of course his wrist problems will infect his condition and results.

Again, it's an interview, and he was specifically asked about his injury. Wtf did you want him to say? What's the point of an interview if players just fudge every answer they give because they're afraid of what perception other people have of them. You're just being incredibly judgmental and equating a smile after winning to being BM and arrogant, which is equally as stupid.

Uh, right after beating Hyun in this very group. Weren't you watching? He shook his wrists and grimaced sharply. It even spawned discussion in the LR thread. But sure, maybe it was because his arrogance left him visibly pained by Hyun's play in that game. He needs to save the good excuses for when he loses.

I wonder why people are so closed off to the idea that Flash is simply an honest kid. It boggles the mind. I'd have understood the hate if Flash said that his opponent was bad enough he could easily defeat him with injured wrists, but not if Flash said that he had injured wrists which worried him.

Progamers talk about their health ALL THE TIME. They'll say they got a cold. They'll say they got a fever. They'll talk about their condition being bad, being tired with the schedule, being unmotivated... it's part of their interaction with fans. Now you have Flash, possibly the greatest gamer of them all, talk about a career-threatening injury that clearly pains him. He didn't complain all that much when he was the child-labor Terran. He didn't complain about maps (sorry Bisu lol). He didn't complain about the thousands of cheeses thrown at him on a regular basis because his opponents feared his standard game. Why can't we take that context into account and realize that hey, MAYBE Flash is simply being honest here and isn't really making excuses. MAYBE his history of being talkative and candid in interviews makes all this an innocent discussion. MAYBE he just wants to thank the supportive KT staff and his doctor. Who the hell knows?

The only maybe in my mind is a question of MAYBE the Flash haters have finally run out of ammo in criticizing his game play they've resorted to questioning his sportsmanship -_-

EDIT:

Piece of advice - hate the fanboys, that can be justified (especially us Bisu fanboys haha) but stop crucifying the player in their stead.

lol he is no longer god if you dont know. I read this and I understand why Flash haters feel the way they do. So much drama. He can quit temporarily and get treatment if it bothers him. Why continue playing and martyring himself. He just sounds like a dbag when he whens, and a sour unsportsman loser when he loses. He is using this to his advantage. It is unfortunate that one of the greatest BW player will end this way.


Geez, this is how BW fans treat a progamer for being honest in his interviews? Grow up. The very best in sports talk about their injuries all the time. It's part of the game, and should in no way diminish what their opponent accomplishes, only that they were able to transcend their physical limitations. You think the Utah Jazz were pissed off because Jordan was able to torch them for 38 points and complained about a fever? No. They were pissed off because DESPITE him having a fever, they got roflstomped.

I keep noticing this anti-Flash-injury sentiment, and it's getting annoying. Let the man have his say. He keeps getting asked these questions so he'll keep answering them. If you don't like the fact that an injured Flash can still destroy your favorite players, well, tough - deal with it.

On topic:

This is such a good opportunity for Stats/Tempest/Action/CH to step their game up. Also looking forward to Barracks. Right now Hoejja's the ace and a damn good one hahaha


No, this is now his official excuse for every loss, he keeps whining about his wrist, smiling in the booth, being arrogant in his interviews, I like his games, but I can't like him as a person, and yes it is sad, I've never seen JD whine about his stomach problems he used to have several times, or any other progamer!
"The very best in sports talk about their injuries all the time."
Intentionally talking about health problems has nothing to do with sports.


You're hating a guy for talking about his wrist injury in an interview when specifically asked
Q: How bad is the injury/illness?
? And then you're labeling him arrogant for showing some semblance of emotion when he wins? Do you not see how ridiculous you sound?

No, I don't sound ridiculous.
Yes, I don't like those who complain and look for excuses elsewhere.
Show me a match where Flash grimaced after he had won a game?


yes,you do sound ridiculous.

If you don't like what Flash says in his interviews,don't comment.

Do I have to spoonfeed this to every single person? I though I was quite clear with that.
What I don't understand is what you're trying to say? That I look ridiculous when judge person for arrogant attitude. Well everyone knows that Flash is a bit cocky. Well I have a right to say that I don't like it. Where am I ridiculous and what do you find so ridiculous is a question to me?

"And then you're labeling him arrogant for showing some semblance of emotion when he wins?" I don't blame him for being happy when he wins, but for intentional "theatre" of his injuries when he loses.

He shook his wrist and grimaced after a win. though. =\

After a loss he smiled like it didn't bother him. I think you're mixing that up.

Uh, right after beating Hyun in this very group. Weren't you watching? He shook his wrists and grimaced sharply. It even spawned discussion in the LR thread. But sure, maybe it was because his arrogance left him visibly pained by Hyun's play in that game. He needs to save the good excuses for when he loses.

I didn't see that game. If I saw it before, I would not have posted so much. Well then, I was wrong, Flash wasn't pretending in a booth.

This is an interview about a certain set of games. If you don't know the context, then you shouldn't even have replied in the first place.

Yes you have a right to say that you don't like,but its ridiculous to go on and on about it because you can't do anything about it,you can't control what he says in an interview,what you say does not make any difference to what he says in an interview unless you went up to him an said "you flash I don't like that you keep complaining about your arms,makes you sound like a drama queen etc,etc."but then you would come off as rude yourself,wouldn't you?:p

all I'm saying is,hes gonna keep talking about his wrist because its an important topic of discussion when it comes to him.

Too true, and as a fan of his I am desperate to hear any and all updates he has regarding his condition. He is just being honest to his fans who care very much about him, and we appreciate it a lot!
