Yeah skill gap at the time was insane and BW has higher skill ceiling and less bullshit mechanics. No way Infernal was bad it's just that in this game if you are better than someone else you will win. People are now used to SC2 where all sorts of garbage gimmicky players can take games off world class champions, but that's just not the case in BW.
Never forget Lilthrow 2015

"Never" ? I would not be so sure, Mondragon was the god of foreign scene a good time before flash got into progaming.. SOOOO....!

Flash just has more raw talent, even as an amateur I doubt that Mondi would have stood a chance against him.

Hard to talk about raw talent, when other guy played for fun and flash did it full time

Flash holds the record for the youngest person to ever win a starleague. It can't be chalked up to simple experience. Lots of people were playing for much longer than Flash and couldn't accomplish half as much as he did in his first two years. He just has a gift for Starcraft.

I do know that, but you're forgetting how successfull mondi was as just an foreign amateur, no professional couching and training involved.
edit: point was that it's hard to compare the talent factors involved..

Will his VODs still be uploaded?

Maybe if we were talking about Stork vs Bisu that would be relevant, but we aren't. Flash has a deeper understanding of Starcraft than probably anyone. I never said that Mondi was bad, but Flash is the ultimate weapon for a reason. I mean unless we are talking about Flash a month into playing SC vs Mondi in his prime, but otherwise there is really no chance.

mondi would have maybe(!) had a chance in his prime vs some(!) protoss pro gamers, because his ZvP was almost semipro if not close to pro level..
vs a good terran.. vs flash.. maybe 1 game out of 100 in mondis favour..

Lol, Mondragon was regulary beaten by even foreigners and you want to compare him to best Koreans. After 2006 the best what foreigners could count on was some fluke Bo1 victory.

come on you can't tell how much flash has learnt trought playing and studying the game, and what is the actual amount of "raw talent". and it's ridicilous to say that after a month flash would have been able to beat mondi in his prime. LOL. Do you actually have any glue how long flash played broodwar before getting into progaming?

In his latest stream he gets owned in a lot of games. He's lightning fast but I think in another month he'll be back in top form.
|
He's mostly losing due to greed. He's getting early/mid game disadvantages while trying to push for very fast 3rd or by some cheesy semi-all'ins (like ribo into 4 gate push from 2 base)
Funny enough he seems to be winning most of standard games he plays (without ultra greed mode)
