I think this deserves a bump, because it really does a great job covering what every Flash fan was thinking from summer 2008 through summer 2009:

Will he ever fulfill his enormous potential?

I'm very glad he ended up fulfilling his potential. Flash was the player who made me love broodwar so I really couldn't be happier about his success.

As a long-time flash fan, this was the first great article in TL written about him. Thanks again DrH for writing this.
And even though, I never stopped being a fan (which was painful during flash's 1.5 years of fail), I did have my doubts of whether the kid could really live up to his potential.
So great he proved me wrong

A 2 year bump that I actually agree with :D.

Good thread revival.

Now living int he future, we find that he is living up to his potential and he finally found what his role was.

Nice bump. When I first saw it, I thought, "is Dr H mad trolling?", and then I saw the date lol.
The probability of Kim Carrier getting all those predictions wrong is similar to the probability Flash loses a TvT. Kim Carrier MUST BE a genius. His only big mistake... STORK.

How would it be Jaedong when he doesn't have a nickname with the word "Ultimate" in it?

becouse the thread title is "Less than Ultimate", that's why he thought it was JD-thread.

Since flash is again on the spotlight with broodwar experiencing a revival, I thought that this masterfully written article would be great to share to everyone who does not know the story of Lee Young Ho after he won his first championship but struggled for the better part of almost 2 yrs before finally becoming the player he was meant to be.
Flash hwaiting!!
