Are you sure he is changing back to T? As I understand this post was before his 3rd place game. And in the interview after he won Larva, Tasteless translated that he does not know, if he stays as random or terran for next asl

The meta game of random is so interesting, and the smaller bits make it so fun to watch imo. Like Flash's scouting patterns change a lot as random to hide his race for as long as possible (overlord on plasma going to the corners instead of directly to the bases).

That being said, I do want to see him go back to Terran. playing random means only random really gets to play mindgames for the downside of having to know 3 races.

Obviously the next step is someone else has to go random so we can see the Random vs Random matchup against Flash.

LAST RANDOM PLAY @ ASL! VS LARVA

과연 이영호 선수는 임홍규 선수를 상대로 3,4위전에서 이길 수 있을까요?

오늘 이영호 유튜브로 ASL경기를 봐야하는 이유!

Will Lee Young-ho be able to win the 3rd and 4th place against Lim Hong-gyu?

Why Lee Young-ho should watch ASL games on YouTube today!

#1 A record of ASL's official broadcast will be uploaded because it cannot be broadcast today.
Let's see the official video broadcast by Park Sang-hyun, Lee Seung-won, and Lim Seong-chun!

Youngho Lee (R) VS Hongkyu Lim (Z)
Match 1: Eclipse

I guess this is it! Next ASL Flash will go with his main race, most certainly

Did I misunderstand this post?
Afaik, Flash said in post game interview that he’s not sure what race he is playing next season.

it sounds as though he's not sure if he'll go random next season, but he definitively says "this is the first and last Random-race ASL"

I think ever since FlaSh started playing Random, there has been an influx of Random players, or maybe that is just a placebo affect lol

This experiment was pretty entertaining to watch. I really hope random doesn't become a common thing though. It makes for a poor viewing experience when RNG produces gigantic advantages or straight out wins before the players have even scouted each other. As fun as it was this once, i would rather not invite this element of luck into professional BW.

hope so, either main race or to take a challenge with another race, but random just doesnt produce fun and competitive games, its mostly about BO, scouting advantages and sloppy decisions and plays

p.s. additionally I always thought that they should have made random show what race it gave and they should have done it 15 years ago when BW became competitive. Otherwise its just for gimmicks.

Going third place in highest caliber tournament is just sloppy plays and sloppy decisions? Random is way harder than sticking with just one race. Why do you think that random player should give out the only advantage when the disadvantage of having to practice three times more match ups heavily outweights it? Every other random player have failed to achieve what Flash achieved and saying it's all about builds and gimmicks is definitely an understatement.

I actually did not mean Flash at all, but the whole dynamic when there is random. The sloppy decisions and plays can come on both sides, mostly affecting the non random player if we have to go into the details. Additionally, I dont think picking random should provide any kind of advantages especially the one that it provides right now - making the other player going sub optimal build orders and guessing for no competitive reasons. You wanna go random and make the other person prepare vs 3 different possible races - be my guest, but it should not stay hidden and rely on imbalanced distribution of critical information imo


p.s. Random being hidden was/is especially dumb for the ladder games where every vs random player was some kind of gimmick that brought nothing meaningful to the table.


Random is not the reason someone plays sloppy, the reason is lack of experience. Sure random can force the game out of meta builds, but sloppyness is the players own fault. Picking a single race to stick with gives you advantage, picking random should also give you advantage.
