No, he clearly stated his intent in his post, I'll quote it.
"I admit 1-2 games does NOT mean he has conquered his nerves, but if he does, Magma is a far bigger threat to Flash than Luxury."
English, obviously, is open to interpretation, but I fail to see how you got what you did.

Are you honestly saying that magma > luxury

In potential ability, yes.

Flash will roll magma there is no doubt about it,

it seems almost all of the seeds get pretty easy groups this time :o possibly due in part to so many big names dropping out in prelims ><

much and midas in particular look like they got a pretty easy ride to the ro16 ;o

[edit]
and for the ppl talking about magma, i would agree that he's being fairly overhyped here over what was basically one great game against hwasin that while hwasin also made a fair number of mistakes, his game sense and unit management (as in when to make what units etc) seemed reminiscent of savior in his prime (particularly always mixing in a good number of scourge to take down dropships all over the place so well). the other game was against a fairly not so spectacular protoss where he did still play well. overall i think its still way way too early to overhype him to that extent just based on that performance. if he can keep playing that kinda tvz consistently and shows more results, then maybe he will deserve it soon but not yet.

Didn't Dan Lee say that maGma was better than Jaedong in practice?
It was only his nerves holding him back?
Because I didn't seen anything held back in his game vs Hwasin.

There's also the issue of Flash's TvZ, which has been quite shaky as of late.

People keep talking about magma's potential, but what about flash's.If were playing a potential war I think flash definitely wins on that one. And if were playing and current state war, Flash definitely has it.

Agreed. It's way too early to overhype him. If he actually has conquered his nerves he has the potential to be one of the best zergs out there. But for now it's just too early to make spaculations. I'm dying to see more of him though! Hopefully they put him on the next PL match.

Have you noticed that almost every group have 1 zerg, 1 terran, 1 protoss.
That means few mirror matches and good racial balance. Nice to see this during this "golden age of protoss" and "the zerg slump".

I'd prefer all protoss groups and then the rest would have a mix of Zerg and Terran =D
