*win rate reaching 80%, considering playing ASL again. It's almost as if Flash himself voted team TMNT. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

Just like ZvZ in PvZ, the one who makes zealots vs hatchery first will always win. | ||

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. | ||
