Great article, I still remember when I first spotted Leta, I was checking the VODs in the TLPD and looking for games where the T won, and find a game of Leta cant even remember vr who it was but I really liked so I look for all the games of Leta and was amazed by all the games he won versus great players, I said wow who is this guy and started watching his games, game after game I could only said wow have someone in TL notice this??? cause I didnt read anything about him, I say I should make a post about it, but life is hard and I forgot lol... few days later he was in the Power Rank and I start hearing a lot about him... oh well now everyones now ^_^

He is a great player, I hope he doest fade out soon and win some tittles!!!

How is Leta's performance against Guemchi so special?

Granted, his vulture micro was good. But many terrans could have played just like this.
I feel that it wasn't really Leta's spirit that won him the match but rather Guemchi's total lack of defense against such simple harassment.

I mean, come on, not a single cannon in any of his bases? It was really sad to see a Protoss have that much trouble against vultures.
But then again, with those ridges, that map is clearly favoring terrans in that respect.

The games against Luxury were awesome, though.

You are right that Guemchi did not defend the harass well, it's just that there are not many terrans could have won that game from that position.

Leta is indeed awesome ;O

Flash has been my favorite terran for so long and his style has always identified with mine. But let's face it; Flash is rock solid, calculated, which equals BORING.

Leta is like the complete opposite, and when I watch him play I'm always like "Man I wish I could play terran like that".

Yeah it's a harash generalization of his style seeing how he was flamed for "Only knowing how to cheese" in the beginning, then he'd start playing really textbook and people would claim that he's boring. Don't get me wrong, as a terran player myself, watching Flash is never boring. But I always thought that's because if you're a terran player, you can appriciate all the things Flash is doing in a different way than someone who's looking on a game from like an entertainment point of view.

What I meant to say with all that is I get WHY some people claim Flash is boring.

Flash is really one of the few people who I've ever seen playing a solid, calculated and unboring game. Oov and Nada come to mind. Seriously, I can't think of any Flash game where I honestly thought his play was boring
