Flash was a really cheesy terran before he became the monster/ultimate weapon that he is now. Not all that surprising. Mind was also very cheesy, but he became the youngest MSL champion and a champion before Flash so the hype was there.

17 years, 1 month, and 14 days old. Flash was 17 years and 10 months old and somesuch days, so yeah. Kind of a cherry picked accomplishment though.

I reasd the thread a bit. The reason why Flash scored only 10% was that people back then already saw him as an established player. Comparable to how Leta wouldn't score very high in a 2010 Rookie poll.


I actually think that in winter of '07 (before flash won his OSL) mind was probably seen as the better player (since he had already won an MSL over bisu.)

Dude who else remembers when Guemchi got all those all kills!!!! i do. Those were the days. that was in like, 2009 - 2010 though.

Also, the people in this thread who said Effort in late 2008 were the most right.

Did flash really only start being good after/ during 2008?

Its cause the off-season is very slow and the only new threads are very depressing.

That and all the Flash fans are finding threads that predicted his monster rising. Haha.

At the beginning of 2008, it made sense to pick Mind as the best new player since he had just won an MSL and the best Flash had done was 4th in an OSL.

Mind come bacckkkk

This poll was retarded even back then. No one voted for Flash because he wasn't really a rookie. Neither was Mind...nor a bunch of players on the list. No one really thought Mind was more promising- yeah they thought he was going to be a lot better than he turned out, but if you asked in a straight up poll who would have a better career, I'm guessing 90% would have said Flash.

My favorite part of that is the guy saying "I think TL is biased against him". I'm waiting for someone to use this as an argument in the PR.

Closely followed by Cpt.Obvious just going off on how Flash needs to die because SC doesn't need anymore faggot cheesy terrans. Of course this is only interesting because he has the "Happy Birthday" icon.
Not a big fan of Nada. There, I said it.
