Still, I would like to know what I'm arguing against sometimes. TMNT please talk in plain english rather than negatives. I don't think no one has to suffer reading through your texts until you held the responsibility of clearing up the confusion you started by sending mixed messages.
PS: this thread is so much like Flash's persona. People claim Shuttle is a joke, but Flash as time goes by is proving himself to be just the jester himself.

A confusion that seems quite limited to yourself. I certainly don’t find our resident mutant turtle’s contributions confusing at all.

Shuttle isn’t a joke? He very much does seem to be the butt of many a joke, albeit in a generally good-natured fashion.

Hey TMNT You literally said that FlaSh is not playing ASL to no damage his stats and keep it godlike. And you know what ? People in that poll support your theory. You won the war bro.

I literally stick to FlaSh words. Guy is recovering from a surgery and want to give himself time. People dont wanna believe him. It is what it is.

Fighting games have this put up or shut up policy. If you can do better, rather than bad mouthing the players, why not play in the tournament. I think these posters need to remember to stake their own reputation instead of others, first and foremost.
Flash is by all records a respectable pro, not in the least up to TMNT's credibility of his intentions in the actions he takes. The fact that he has surpassed a starcraft pro is no less the same as rain whenever he wants to compete that he can return to the scene. It is silly to try to malign more knowledgeble people such as flash and rain. They have better checkpoints to understand where they stand in the game. What might seem ignorance might be prospective patience until their skills, or the their opponents are ready for a burst into the scene. Let's face it, these players don't have the tenacity of JyJ and Soulkey. Those are true grinders.

TMNT never said he could do better lmao, so why would they challenge Flash?

If you hide the name of Flash and look at that record, it gives you the impression of someone who is slightly better than Royal/JYJ (just a rough estimation). You think that level is not enough for ASL?

I mean it’s right here. TMNT thinks Flash’s current level is more than respectable/competitive. He’s not saying he’s some scrub lmao


This might be lost in translation, but I'm saying he should, otherwise not claim to know any better. It is very irritating to watch a no name attach flash's name as catchphrase to present his conspiracy theories. It is doubly irritating when said player is under rehabilitation and he is being very shortsighted when talking about a disease he cannot treat to argue whether it exists at all. I tried reasoning with it before bringing forth medical information. His response is total silence.

Correction. JyJ reduced his activity by 90% after winning ASL. He is the opposite of a grinder these days. Soulkey also doesn't grind. Soulkey plays best with moderate amounts of physical practice. he likely brainstorms a whole lot more than he practices.

No, no, I only mean right after Royal's ASL14 victory. Those two filled the gap Royal left behind. I don't mean today.


ah, you mean true competitors :p

Sorry, I'm ESL. I cannot always remember the correct terminology the first time.
PS: I think those years were the best. Maybe I should watch the past seasons to weigh in. It feels like the skill gap was wider in older seasons. ASL14 and onwards, things seem very balanced to me. Still, wraith play at 76 is peak terran for me. It feels so timeless, it could be 98 08 or 2023. There will never be a time when there is an era for wraiths.

The conspiracy theory of *checks notes*, observing that Flash has quite a lot of games logged, and decent, but not outstanding records by his standards?

Your counter-points would be totally valid if they weren’t in response to claims not even being made in the first place.

Flash at 80%, 90% or whatever arbitrary number we stick on it is still good enough to be competitive in ASL.

Flash may have the kind of mentality where he doesn’t like competing if he can’t show 95-100% of his potential, plenty have that mentality nothing wrong with that.

It’s less a conspiracy theory and more the logical conclusion that that, or something similar is the case.

If, however Flash’s game activity falls off a cliff for the next week while, the logical conclusion would shift to him being physically unable to play this edition.

I don't get it when people assume they have the capacity to weigh in on a matter as heavy as 4 time ASL winner Flash. What is more, this is also a medical issue. Just looking at numbers on a paper, can you point out which era a player is? Jaedong kept playing albeit losing to flash. Hence I say, put up, or shut up as fighting game casters say.
This is flash we are talking about. I told this before: the guy made his entrance doing cheese against Bisu, the player who stopped Savior become bonjwa who would become bonjwa himself if flash wasn't around. Don't compare him with shuttle who takes every opportunity he can. Flash is not fooling around, ever.

After the crypto incident i think a lot of people dont trust FlaSh anymore. It doesnt help that FlaSh also bullied out Jangbi or so are the rumours so TMNT is not kind to such actions.

YO T. SUP DAWG.

BONYTH CLOSE THE POLL. STOP COUNTING !!

I wanna take this moment to thank all the people that stick to real facts and not that BS that flash is scared of sh*t.

What on Earth are you even talking about? How is basically any of your post even relevant to the topic?

Your inability to respond to what people actually say is as embarrassing as your fawning over Flash as if he’s some kind of god among mortals that nobody has the right to even question under any circumstance whatsoever.

Thoroughly ridiculous stuff. I mean not as ridiculous as ‘Protoss are idiots for fast expanding’ or ‘rushing a Queen to infest a command centre is better than standard mutas’, but pretty ridiculous.

Ironically with those you claim to know better than seasoned pros, but for this topic for some reason you think plebs shouldn’t be allowed an opinion and Flash’s word is law.

Just ignore him, he lives in his own bubble and does not read what he’s responding to.

Still, I would like to know what I'm arguing against sometimes. TMNT please talk in plain english rather than negatives. I don't think no one has to suffer reading through your texts until you held the responsibility of clearing up the confusion you started by sending mixed messages.
PS: this thread is so much like Flash's persona. People claim Shuttle is a joke, but Flash as time goes by is proving himself to be just the jester himself.

A confusion that seems quite limited to yourself. I certainly don’t find our resident mutant turtle’s contributions confusing at all.

Shuttle isn’t a joke? He very much does seem to be the butt of many a joke, albeit in a generally good-natured fashion.

Hey TMNT You literally said that FlaSh is not playing ASL to no damage his stats and keep it godlike. And you know what ? People in that poll support your theory. You won the war bro.

I literally stick to FlaSh words. Guy is recovering from a surgery and want to give himself time. People dont wanna believe him. It is what it is.

Fighting games have this put up or shut up policy. If you can do better, rather than bad mouthing the players, why not play in the tournament. I think these posters need to remember to stake their own reputation instead of others, first and foremost.
Flash is by all records a respectable pro, not in the least up to TMNT's credibility of his intentions in the actions he takes. The fact that he has surpassed a starcraft pro is no less the same as rain whenever he wants to compete that he can return to the scene. It is silly to try to malign more knowledgeble people such as flash and rain. They have better checkpoints to understand where they stand in the game. What might seem ignorance might be prospective patience until their skills, or the their opponents are ready for a burst into the scene. Let's face it, these players don't have the tenacity of JyJ and Soulkey. Those are true grinders.

TMNT never said he could do better lmao, so why would they challenge Flash?
If you hide the name of Flash and look at that record, it gives you the impression of someone who is slightly better than Royal/JYJ (just a rough estimation). You think that level is not enough for ASL?

I mean it’s right here. TMNT thinks Flash’s current level is more than respectable/competitive. He’s not saying he’s some scrub lmao


This might be lost in translation, but I'm saying he should, otherwise not claim to know any better. It is very irritating to watch a no name attach flash's name as catchphrase to present his conspiracy theories. It is doubly irritating when said player is under rehabilitation and he is being very shortsighted when talking about a disease he cannot treat to argue whether it exists at all. I tried reasoning with it before bringing forth medical information. His response is total silence.

The conspiracy theory of *checks notes*, observing that Flash has quite a lot of games logged, and decent, but not outstanding records by his standards?

Your counter-points would be totally valid if they weren’t in response to claims not even being made in the first place.

Flash at 80%, 90% or whatever arbitrary number we stick on it is still good enough to be competitive in ASL.

Flash may have the kind of mentality where he doesn’t like competing if he can’t show 95-100% of his potential, plenty have that mentality nothing wrong with that.

It’s less a conspiracy theory and more the logical conclusion that that, or something similar is the case.

If, however Flash’s game activity falls off a cliff for the next week while, the logical conclusion would shift to him being physically unable to play this edition.

I don't get it when people assume they have the capacity to weigh in on a matter as heavy as 4 time ASL winner Flash. What is more, this is also a medical issue. Just looking at numbers on a paper, can you point out which era a player is? Jaedong kept playing albeit losing to flash. Hence I say, put up, or shut up as fighting game casters say.
This is flash we are talking about. I told this before: the guy made his entrance doing cheese against Bisu, the player who stopped Savior become bonjwa who would become bonjwa himself if flash wasn't around. Don't compare him with shuttle who takes every opportunity he can. Flash is not fooling around, ever.
PS: you ok with tmnt underestimating flash? I'm not.

What on Earth are you even talking about? How is basically any of your post even relevant to the topic?

Your inability to respond to what people actually say is as embarrassing as your fawning over Flash as if he’s some kind of god among mortals that nobody has the right to even question under any circumstance whatsoever.

Thoroughly ridiculous stuff. I mean not as ridiculous as ‘Protoss are idiots for fast expanding’ or ‘rushing a Queen to infest a command centre is better than standard mutas’, but pretty ridiculous.

Ironically with those you claim to know better than seasoned pros, but for this topic for some reason you think plebs shouldn’t be allowed an opinion and Flash’s word is law.


First, no one shames flash when his wrist suffers and he plays goliaths to win. There is more than one way to skin a dog. FE is STUPID and the scores speak for itself. Every player who tried to FE has either turned a blind eye to gameplay, or has outright been ridiculed. Protoss has incredible odds at winning when they play early aggression. FE is not fast, nor is it expanding properly. We saw how bad FE is. Just look at snow vs soulkey on troy. Yeah, that bad. A good strategy works all the time, not just one time. Just because you are stupid at cutting corners, you cannot gloat at playing FE.
I told you I play zerg, don't ever try to teach me how I play zerg. Queens are prime zerg material. Every zerg player at their prime have played queens. It is almost a benchmark at zerg strategy, just like wraiths are for terran.
Flash's word is law until you claim 4ASLs yourself.
PS: to give flash analogy. Until Royal is about to win 3 ASLs under his belt and JYJ swoops in, puts a stop to that and is about to win 3 ASLs himself, then you show up at thirteen years old and win 4 ASLs will you be able to judge flash. That is what he just did. Let me kindly remind you of that.

Most of you haven't considered that Flash is right-handed.
Especially you, TMNT. Its so frustrating to see you arguing with everybody without even considering the fact that the guy is right-handed.

Based on the image you sent, it looks like you're trying to figure out the area of a triangle on a coordinate plane.

Here's how you can do it:

Understanding the Vertices
The image shows a triangle with the following vertices (corner points):

A: (-3, 1)

B: (2, 3)

C: (0, -2)

Calculating the Area
You can use the determinant formula (also known as the shoelace formula) to find the area of a triangle given its vertices:

Area =
2
1
​
∣(x
1
​
(y
2
​
−y
3
​
)+x
2
​
(y
3
​
−y
1
​
)+x
3
​
(y
1
​
−y
2
​
))∣

Let's plug in the coordinates:

x
1
​
=−3, y
1
​
=1

x
2
​
=2, y
2
​
=3

x
3
​
=0, y
3
​
=−2

Area =
2
1
​
∣(−3(3−(−2))+2(−2−1)+0(1−3))∣
Area =
2
1
​
∣(−3(5)+2(−3)+0(−2))∣
Area =
2
1
​
∣(−15−6+0)∣
Area =
2
1
​
∣−21∣
Area =
2
1
​
×21
Area =10.5 square units

Alternative Method: Base and Height
If you prefer, you could also calculate the length of one side (the base) using the distance formula and then find the perpendicular height to that base. However, this method can be more complex if the sides aren't aligned with the axes.

For example, let's find the length of side AB:
Length AB =
((2−(−3))
2
+(3−1)
2
)

Length AB =
((5)
2
+(2)
2
)

Length AB =
(25+4)

Length AB =
29

Then, you would need to find the equation of the line passing through A and B, and calculate the perpendicular distance from point C to that line. This is generally more involved than the determinant formula.

The area of the triangle with vertices (-3, 1), (2, 3), and (0, -2) is 10.5 square units.

Flash's results yesterday in Major Proleague is a good example to demonstrate this point.

Beat Royal x2, Mini, Snow. Lost to Best. MVP performance. And it is off the back of a 10-day break for him. I don't know how much he can get better by grinding as many games as he wants, but if that's the performance he can pull off after a 10-day break, he was certainly good enough to play the previous ASL and the upcoming one.

(by the way, the 10-day break is likely related to his university activity, since Soulkey, Soma, Bisu all had a break in that exact time frame - Soulkey in fact hasn't even came back yet).

Flash is boasting a 80+% win rate in July in Major Proleague, destroying almost everyone left and right. In set 2 (winners league) he's always had 3, 4 or 5 kills.

80% win rate. So yeah, he's good enough to play ASL, for whatever the practice regime he's doing at the moment, and after 1 month since resuming play after the surgery.
