In my opinion, it's not that FlaSh is unstoppable, but more so that EVERYONE (except Fanta ofc) is slumping. And the only other people who could possible beat him are on his team (again except Fanta). So, I'm gonna have to say Fantasy because he's the only person NOT slumping atm.

that's definitely an excuse to make flash look worse than he is....lol

The player who will beat him is the one who is ambitious enough and eager to win.
We've all seen what Jangbi is capable of. So I guess any skilled player can if he really wants to. Nowadays Flash has an aura of invincibility and players just got pressed while playing him, he sure does not make mistakes and plays almost perfect SC, but he is not a machine, the game when he slips first can be easily taken by JD, Baby, Stork, SK. I wish I could name some young names, but I haven't watched PL for a while now.
Sooner or later he will give his positions away, but at present his form is optimal, and we haven't seen really good games from the rest of progamers so far to make a good pick of a rival.

I say Jangbi has a chance to beat him, although Flash still has the upperhand. Maybe something along the lines of 60-40 favoring Flash but still I think he has a decent chance depending on the circumstances. Fantasy also has a shot at it, probably a little closer to 50-50 odds.

i think fantasy TvT is the best bet. in proleague. If BoX series, then i would say zerg (4 pool shenanigans). It cant be a team member that will beat flash because i remember in an interview when they were like "when you play flash its like you forget how to win" OTHER than that POWER OUTAGE

How epic would it be if it were Tossgirl?

But I'm thinking Turn, Hyuk or Shuttle.

Obviously the first person to beat Flash will be Slayers_Yugioh.

This will be of course 6 years from now when Flash finally has to have his left hand amputated and hence is forced to play SC2 with just a mouse. His first SC2 loss will also be during a GSL final that he wins 4-1 and everyone is surprised that it wasn't more one sided.

Quoting this to hold you to it. Saw a guy who lost a bet and he said he'd eat a hat. I dunno if he actually did. Anyone recall the thread where someone said he'd eat a hat?

Called Leta to beat Flash since this. I still stand by this. LETA FIGHTING!

This is so blasphemous in context, you are talking about the terminator who always get spare parts from sky net with new upgraded chips and arms to improve mouse accuracy and decision making . Flash will never get amputated in my opinion, he is the golden boy of starcraft broodwar and it will stay that way.

He's at 75.76% since January 2009 (slightly more than three years and 396 games) and 76.33% since January 2010 (slightly more than two years and 245 games). And he's actually down very slightly since January 2011; 74.71% over 87 games. He seems well on his way to rectifying that, though.
