Did they really?
I didn't intend that, perhaps it's the style in which I wrote that. I'll definitely try to make it seem more in place.

I don't want to continue the trend, but Flash has a GF. There was a video about Flash's high school in Jon747 (or Baezzi). It was right before his OSL win I think.

Flash is easily the best player in the world, he will prove it shortly.
Good article though, I agree with it. It's all in the mind.

Flash actually goes to school? I mean, I know he should considering he's like 16. But where does he find the time to practice? That's insane pressure. And I hated my parents when I had to take piano lessons on weekends.
I know starcraft careers can't be long, but when you're making executive-type money, who cares if you're behind on your education for a couple of years? Flash is actually likely to make LESS money once he gets out of starcraft and get a normal job.

Omg I'm sorry but really all these articles are so overdramatic...
When I started reading the article, I saw Machiavelli and Atlas and I thought, I bet this is gonna get so crazy and overassuming about Flash that he's going to compare him to Barack Obama...
I like the analyzation, but a lot of these articles seem to be repeating the same exact themes over and over now and never really present anything new. Instead, they make broad, definitive statements of absolute truths and player psyche just to approach it from a highly dramatic view. Starcraft is Starcraft, Flash is Flash. This aint Moses parting the Red Sea here.
I know I'm gonna get flamed haha...

Well it's all in good fun.
I agree that it's a bit melodramatic, but what's wrong with a bit of drama?

I agree with you, Flash is a young kid, there is no need to make such a big deal out of a semi-slump with such an over-exaggerated article. If this was done as a hype/aftermath article for a finals then it would make more sense. This article didn't add anything new to other than OMG FLASH IS A TEENAGER.
He will be back in his ultimate form, he has plenty of time and has proven himself more than once already of his ability to win a finals series.

Great job on the article.
Even better job on the clever metaphors.

really nice write up good job.

Flash was the best player in the world. He could be the best player again in the future; only time will tell.
Excellent article, by the way. I prefer adding more psych theories though

Fantastic article. Guys like you make tl awesome.

I didnt read all but the thing I read so far (Flash is in a small slump, he needs to get older to pwn more) I agree with.
I've always said it. Flash is like at 75% of his total skill, when he gets older like 2-3 years. He will dominate like Iloveoov did. Unstoppable.

Too bad he is ranked #1 at KeSPA last month and he had the highest ELO until yesterday, when Bisu defeated Firebathero and got #1.
Flash #1 at KeSPA and #2 at ELO? he is the best

true only time will tell... Hopefully flash will do better next season, maybe do a repeat of this year's Bach OSL/GSI repeat? Ahh I can hope
edit: As a KTF fan, I agree almost everything you said on this article. The kid is so young yet so many people felt "disappointed." My god hes 16 people give him some time
