eStro would be a decent team if they would at least win 50% of their ace matches.

They have this nasty habit of going 2-3 a lot of the time.

90% of the time its cause of their 2v2 pulls off and either Up/Tester/Cool/Magma pulled a win out of their ass.

And then comes the ace match where they end up failing hard..so sad.

Y'know on a random thought, I wonder why shitty 1v1 players do so well in 2v2. It doesn't make sense to me..top 1v1 players have stronger mechanics and game insight, having top players play as one mighty force almost never works out..wtf.

I think Sangho would be a great player if he learned how to play late game better and had better nerves.
He can certainly play with the best of them, but he knows how to drag but never to finish.

I thought Flash did it as a way of saying "It's time to type gg and leave". You know, kind of like when you infest their burning main CC, or when Bisu came out with scouts vs Hwasin.

I don't get why people are so mad about this stuff. Basically if the winning player can dick around that much without risk of losing, then the other player should GG already instead of prolonging their death. I would call it even more BM to make your opponent destroy all your buildings before you'll leave the game when you've clearly lost already. If Magma were still in the game, then Flash doing stuff like that might be shooting himself in the foot.

I still think it's possible he meant to irradiate them. When you've spent the last 20-30 minutes going all out 300 apm, I don't think it's unreasonable to think he may have pressed d (or whatever the d-matrix key is) instead of i.

In any sport, from track and field to a professional game of chess, you treat all your opponents with respect. It is called good sportsmenship. You would be booed if you did something like this in any sport. But I guess SC in Korea is more show biz than a sport.

That was fOru against NaDa.

By the way, some people take pro gamer's feelings too seriously.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH SOME OF YOU PEOPLE?

There is a clear line between being entertaining and acting like a complete dick. Flash was being cocky and stupid, and that thing should never be repeated again, for these reasons:

- Magma played really well vs the no.1 player. After such a long, intense and beautiful game, he deserved some respect, not getting humiliated like that. Imagine yourself playing a 1 hour sweating game and at the end of the game your opponent, who has just managed to closely win the game, do something like that as if he has owned you the entire game.

- Very amazing comebacks do happen in Starcraft. Fans should not forget that, and Flash himself shouldn't too. Flash should also be aware that just like every previous dominant player, his prime won't last forever and he better appreciate it.

- Doing this when the game was not over might affect your opponent mentality in a unfair way. I'm not saying that Flash intentionally did that to piss Magma off so he lost temper, but it might have very likely turned out that way. Such things would make professional SC matches look like B.Net public games.

- And yes, sportsmanship matters. What if the Koreans do humiliating shit like that to every foreigners in WCG Grand Finals 'cos they are all newb to them and games are over before they are even played, so instead of playing straightup, why don't do something fun and humiliating? Will that still be entertaining or 'badass' anymore?
