guys is LoL that mechanic demanding ?

always thought that bw was the most mechanical demanding game ;; ,and that he can practise only watching vods is bullsh*t,but maybe he is trolling,afterall he was the guy that invented/improved most of the builds for the terran race in the late age of bw.

I think he meant he would need to practice League because it's a team and positional game. You can't just watch vods and be great with 4 other teammates. Meanwhile, he can study the current BW players and read their styles. That way when he does play, he will be able to execute good build orders against them.

His BW mechanics are probably still good enough that he only needs to watch VODs to catch up.

I heard he was around Diamond in LoL? Difference between that and pro mechanics-wise is massive

It would be awesome if he had accepted that playing coach position. Pleasing both his fans and his coaching desires. So sad...
Also why did he skip the fans part lol

One and half soju bottles? Only?
I am unimpressed, FlaSh. Should have used that time at HSC efficiently.

Well you need insanely good reflexes and though high apm for very few quarter of seconds. You can fuck up real hard. Definitely more demanding than SC2, though not as BW

What are you doing these days?

"Meeting mates that I have not seen for a while. I`m drinking all the alcohol that I could not drunken. I was dry when I was in esport scene; not now, of course. I can drink Soju up to 1 and half bottles. My capacity of Beer is limitless. Love Makgeolli, too."

Are you seeing anyone lately?

"No. I`ve met one or two when I was in esprots but it didn`t last long because I could not reply their texts. I`m not a guy who can do love and work both; my APM isn`t that high. At the time I was just focused on my work.


HAHAHAHHAHA I love him so much. I hope he comes to a foreign event this year and I can drink with him but it fear of flying makes that hard.

This is wrong.



Good interview, i hope Flash does what he really wants to do next and he doesn't feel the pressure from fans who want very "specific" things.
I think he deserves it, no need to "envy JD" Flash, you can do it now too!
