Well he didn't "explain" did he? Just gave an assumption.

At least he admitted maps were shit for ZvT

If flash goes and wins some asls as Protoss I’ll believe him. I have a hard time taking a crypto scammers opinion at face value.

The problem here is that he has to give explanation as to why Protoss (all Protoss players!!!) has skill issue.

Saying "skill issue" itself is not an explanation. It's already the conclusion.

It's just like me saying "Tesagi". I need to provide something to back it up. Otherwise it's worthless.

Yeah, the assertion is that the more talented players all happened to pick Terran (extremely unlikely over a large sample size) and that they could have just as easily used that same talent to dominate with Protoss. And yet somehow none of them did.

If it's true then go do it.

You can't provide Tesagi is real

Flash's provided skill issue which existed from all race. (1), there's lots of Terrans Bonjwas, (2) SaviOr beat all those Terrans Bonjwas (Nada, iloveoov, Boxer), (3) Bisu beat SaviOr. From (1), (2), (3) maybe Protoss is the best race, huh?

Protoss has few champions titles, it's not they never/can't win any tournament/leagues. If Protoss players improve their skill, they will take more. You should complain Bisu, Stork, Best, Snow, Mini... than race, map, meta.

Maybe you will say I just say about some players, it's not a total picture of StarCraft for 25 years. If you want to see real StarCraft, let's look at medium level players, example D-B rank on ladder. You will see how Protoss crushed the others race or at least you will see StarCraft is the best balance game ever.

Don't just look at ASL, OSL, MSL, BSL, Proleage... it's so small compared to total picture of StarCraft. However, Terran dominates OSL, Zerg dominates MSL and Protoss dominates BSL.

What Flash said about Protoss in this video is no more eloquent than what LUCKY NOOB wrote in his "shitty thread".

I'll wait to see if the mod closes it as well.

There's an alternative line of thought explaining for why all the best players picked Terran, which is that it's not random. Instead, it's because they're the strongest players that they could see that they'd be most successful by picking Terran because Terran is the strongest race.

Put another way, "No good players play Protoss," can be explained as "Good players are intentionally choosing races other than Protoss because they can see that Protoss is weak," instead of "it just so happens that the good players all chose Terran or Zerg."

I am 100% certain that Flash would never be able to be as successful with P.

I think Bonyth drew a few graphs that just ring really true. Skill vs win-rate follows different curves for each race, and once you get to the absolute highest levels protoss starts falling off.

I would add that Flash's logic was wrong when he used Savior as an example to prove that Terran is not stronger.

Of course it's skill that helped Savior beat all those Terrans, but it could also mean that Terran is stronger but Savior was able to overcome that balance issue with his skill.

Same thing can be said for Bisu when he overcame the odds in the PvZ matchup despite Zerg being "stronger" in this matchup.

This is the same guy who downplayed Jangbi's OSL titles after losing to him.

And the whole Bonjwas argument is stupid anyway. The thing has a sample of 5 and dated back like 20 years ago. Bonjwa doesn't even mean the best player of all time. It's just they are the best during their time. 3 or 4 out of the 5 Bonjwas would get totally destroyed in modern BW.
