Flash went 14 CC 15 times and Jaedong 3 Hatch no Pool 13 times. Flash went Rax first 7 times and Jaedong 4-9 Pool 8 times. If you count Overpool to aggressive openings it makes 10 times. What I noticed when going through the games was that until Hana Daetoo MSL happened with the infamous 3 14 CCs in a row, Jaedong already pulled the 3 Hatch no Pool opening 8 times while Flash opened with 14 CC only 5 times. That could have played a part in his gamble during the MSL finals. | ||

However, some people have to pave way for the evolution of sports and that is for me an underrated feat, it takes someone special to do that as well, usually in esports it's about pushing out strategies that no one else had thought about which becomes new metas. You have to compare all these things relatively to when the player played, as well as what competition they had, it's pretty complicated really. I understand the distinction you're making between being the best (a label that requires you to be an active member of the most current generation of players and thus excludes Boxer, Nada, July, etc.) and being the greatest (a label that is more about dominance relative to peers and about popularizing/developing the game, and that sticks with you even after you stop being the best). I also understand what you're saying about how greatest is very subjective and even less measurable than best. If anyone wants to argue for Boxer or Nada as greatest ever, I can respect that, but after watching Flash "win the StarCraft multiplayer campaign" in 2010 and rewrite every Terran matchup, I personally can't pick anyone else as greatest of BW. (Edit: What I meant to convey here is that in addition to being the best for a long time, Flash has been no slouch in "paving the way for the evolution" of BW.) As for "greatest of all eSports," I don't think that's a sensible label, but given that BW is the greatest eSport, I suppose Flash takes it anyway  | ||

However (at least the last OSL) that beeing at a time when almost all practiced sc2. So it's very hard to say if there would have been a rivalary if sc2 didn't exit, not meaning that Fantasy or JangBi wouldn't have great success anyways. But other top tier players would probably have done a little bit better (those noone will be ever able to prove that). So just my opinion. Hope those 2 come back to BW though, that would be awesome. Want to see a tourney with more greats of that era: Fantasy, Bisu, Stork, Jangbi, Flash, Jaedong, Kal, Soo, Sea, Paralyze, Stats, Zero, Soulkey, Effort, Baby, Bogus (yeah ok, TY and Innovation), Free, Best, Hiya, Movie, Last, Sun (the 7th Dragon "Rain"), Stardust, SSak, ForGG , skyHigh, s2, ........ Can this dream come true? Go Jaedong! | ||

Back and forth game, all sorts of tech switches, harass, etc. It's beautiful. I remember when I started watching Starcraft 2 and heard Apollo casting. I was like "Isn't this that guy that cast WCG that one time who kept calling mutalisks 'mutes' and kept repeating the phrase 'detrimental damage'?" Good times. | ||

I guess the money is still bigger in sc2. IMO brood war is the game they love, and thats why they quit sc2. | ||

Jaedong won 4 out of 13 games with 3 Hatch no Pool, 9 out of 11 of all Pool first games and from all games where Flash opened with 1 Rax CC, Jaedong won 13 out of 24. Mind you this game data overlaps. Just looking at the results from the 1 Rax CC vs 3 Hatch no Pool games, they are tied at 3-3. | ||

Might have to do with the fact that in the remaining 7 games he opened 3 Hatch before Pool, Flash went 14 CC so there was no build order advantage for him. | ||
