The video is pretty cool. It's hard to remember that he's a normal kid sometimes, with school and friends his age that are willing to mess around with him. I guess his parents are still either trying to get him to have a normal childhood, or they're still hoping that he goes to college >.>

Great article. It's really hard to say much about the fall of Flash yet though, because he's so young. He hasn't been in the scene for that long, I think in a year or two, he should be a lot better.

I wouldn't use the term "fall". I agree that he'll improve with age.

Eh, I thought the article had potential but ended up far too melodramatic.

Ma Opa probably introduced him to the bath house.

Seriously, I enjoyed reading this. Well done.

Nice read but I don't necessarily agree with your argument. You pretty much made up the cause of his inconsistency out of thin air, something sort of like inconsistency = puberty (teenage confusion, etc.). Since you are attributing all the ones who slump the same cause of puberty (Sea, Mind, and even Jaedong).

I think there must be a lot of more factors coming into play, such as the fact that nowadays all S class players are so good that just by not being in your top slightly can cause you to fail, note that that doesn't necessarily mean puberty nor mental confusion. I'm pretty much sure adults also have these ups and downs, but in broodwar competition those can really be determining.

Flash was born to play BW. Just see FCUK's great thread http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=65727 for one of many examples. Stubborn 14CCs notwithstanding, he has transcendental talent - probably the most of any gamer out there, and the ability to just CRUSH other players in every matchup. He'll be back, and he'll win at least one of both leagues in the upcoming year.

actually Daniel lee in one of the SC4all vids did say Sea wasn't doing good because of his late puberty

I'm bumping this because:

1.I wish it was a TLFE so it was always visible. But FlaSh is doing great recently, and it wouldn't make sense to re-make this as an FE>

2.This is my favorite article of mine, I think it has a good length, and lacks the repetition that plagues "On Fire".

3.Share this with TLers that might not have seen it the first time.

Flash is on a 9 game winning streak atm!

Flash said in a recent interview translated by MrHoon that he would not be overconfident and he has said many times that he will be the greatest Starcraft player ever. I can actually believe it, he has the skill, and so far he's only 16. Imagine how good he will be when hes ~18.

Wow, he's only 16? I reckon he has a good amount of time to refine his skills. Nice article

Flash is very near to breaking the highest ever ELO peak, a record he himself set.

Bisu has the highest ELO of all time atm. I think FlaSh set it at 2309, and Bisu is at 2315. I think FlaSh will end up ahead of Bisu in the end.

No, Flash definitely has the record with an epic peak of 2336

And the thing that really amazes me is that the winning streak that FlaSh has set and the immense amount of games he's been winning recently is all against top notch players.

Plus, he's played like 15 games this past week. Must be such a toll on him. I really hope it doesn't send him into another slump.

Maybe. I think he's really starting to come into his own.

KTF/FOX is gonna be one hell of a match tonight. I really want to see FlaSh/Mind.
