Flash seems to be effectively confirming what Flash hating monsters like myself and TMNT were saying, good to know

Hmm..ASL Winter? I thought there's only two ASLs/year. Or does Flash mean early next year? Who's got the inside scoop.

Pretty big if true.

edit: i mean big if there is a 3rd asl this year.

"I can't stand losing that's why I can't participate"

*win rate reaching 80%, considering playing ASL again.

It's almost as if Flash himself voted team TMNT.

Now I'm sure everyone else will jump to admit they were wrong and they'll stop being toxic

He is just saying the same thing over and over you guys just don't want to understand. He can't give it all as he needs time to recover from surgery and that bothers him coze bro isn't going to eat pizza without cheese just to make his fans happy.

LOL, again what is TMNT going to spin it as this time?
I think I called on TMNT it wasn't wise talking about Flash as a percentile point. Here it is demonstated again. Health is not a discussion point. Flash goes to compete when going gets easy on his health.

Flash can literally say that in this very video and folks will be like ‘nah’.

It’s really quite something to observe.

What he said in those screenshots, assuming they are all true (given screenshot 1 and 3 are not even consistent between themselves), are not even contradictory to what he said previously or what he said in the other part of this video or what I said.

These guys don't have an argument. They are just nitpicking on minor, irrelevant details or making strawman arguments. Sigh.

This is just like the time we argued about the Shuttle vs Queen game, and then jinjin released a video with all the pros confirming my side of the argument, but Eon still had his head buried deep in the sand and kept doubling down on his.

Anyway, with this video this case is settled now. Nothing needs to be said anymore.

yeah and you said the asl 20 maps werent "anti-soulkey", yet soulkey himself says the maps are shit for zerg. Anyways, i think Flash is starting to regret not entering ASL 20 as he's absolutely smashing everyone in the daily proleagues.

Not a conversation I was privy to, but TMNT can be wrong there and 100% right here.

Their argument (and mine incidental) is that Flash’s injury can still be debilitating, but he could play ASL based on his level of activity and his actual level, he’s just not doing so because he wants to feel 100% or as close as he can get, and if he doesn’t feel he can actually win, he doesn’t want to enter. Which, incidentally I don’t have any problem with, especially as ASL is more for prestige than money versus what Flash could lose out on from streaming.

Which Flash literally says in this video is a factor.

If TMNT was saying Flash is a pussy and isn’t really as injured as he says, which is the strawman of his actual posts, then yeah I’d think it fair to call him out

"Anti-Soulkey" and "Anti-Zerg" are completely different things. ZvZ is arguably his worst matchup, so maps that are favorable for TvZ and PvZ are perhaps helpful for Soulkey because it knocks out other Zerg players that he'd have more difficulty with. Meanwhile his skill vT and vP is so high that a moderate map imbalance doesn't slow him down.

his full statement was "maps are bad vs zerg, so i dont think i will win next ASL", but great theory considering he did 4-3 against both best and snow in the semi's and final's of asl 19

You are wrong. I told you before general consensus FE>all is not established. Just like ZvZ in PvZ, the one who makes zealots vs hatchery first will always win.

There is a missing point in this sentiment. His injury is not in remission. It can get worse when he enters. Much intuition is spent on the progress of the injury. It can get like Tony Hawk, although this isn't a bone injury. It can still get worse. ASL isn't like streaming on and off games.
