pretty interesting that in 3 seasons we have had the top players from each race win back to back. (flash obvioulsy more arguable than the others though.)
To bad SK1 doesn't want to support GOM....otherwise we could have another special match, current champ vs. previous champ. Just like last time.
Flash more arguable?! Not only is that not obviouls, it's scandalous. Flash won the Gom Invitational too, which was basically season 0.5. He did it while winning an OSL, which Bisu has never done. Then Bisu lost the special match too, so if there were to be another one it would make sense to have it be Flash vs Jaedong anyways.
Regardless, nice interview. Thanks for translating.

GSI: Flash
GOM1: Jaedong
GOM2: Bisu
GOM3: Flash
Looks like Jaedong wins the next one!
Nice interview, made me hungry.

GOM TV seems to be most objective tournament ;D
Flash finally proved why he is known as best terran. Also, i like that Iris didn't win.

Thanks for an awesome translation as always MrHoon!!
By the way guys, watch Skyhigh demolish Leta twice on Shades and crush Fantasy on it as well. Skyhigh is also the last player to beat Flash "straight up" (a game on Carthage, whereas Flash's losses to Iris and Hiya were both due more to brilliant builds/cheeses). Skyhigh does have a couple of questionable losses in TvT (then again Fantasy < Lomo on Shades???) recently but the dude is definitely a beast and in my opinion he's #2. So it's not that imbalanced actually.
I'd say top 5 TvTers right now are:
1. Flash (JvZ, FvT ... BvP is probably deserved too)
2. Skyhigh
3. Fantasy
4. Leta (only because Fantasy won their last encounter and he got destroyed by Skyhigh in PL ... I think lategame skillwise Leta might be #2)
5. Iris? Light? FBH? Canata? Hard to say here.
Anyway I'm really excited to see Flash potentially mix up his style. His late game is so insanely good that hopefully he can figure out ways to get there through harassing and other aggressive plays, instead of the current ultra-passive style which allows his opponent to custom-tailor builds against him. The fact that he recognized he needs to mix up his style is BY FAR the best news of the day (even better than winning GOM, haha).

Well, Flash is debatably not #1 Terran. Fantasy has been a superior individual league player lately no doubt, though everyone seems to forget that Fantasy's TvT is slightly overrated, and his TvZ has some major holes if you don't let him play his build.

Flash Individual League Gold: 1
Fantasy Individual League Gold: 0
(not counted GOM cause Fantasy can't win there)

That was a great interview from Flash, as always Thank you MrHoon for translating it.
I hope now that Flash will start raping in STX cup and then continue raping...

Haha figures MrHoon would do this interview.
Very interesting to see how the top Terrans seem to work together, whereas the top Tosses just hate each other xD

Pretty much every other toss helped Stork when he was against Best in the OSL semifinals.
That was back when Best's PvP was more hyped than Jaedong's ZvZ, so I'm guessing they all wanted him dead.

I want to change the way I play too, but as a progamer it is so hard to change something you have been doing for years. I will prepare new types of cheeses in hopes of changing my style. If I think back on it, due to my win at such an early age I think I got too cocky to believe I don't need to change to become better. I will change so my weaknesses will not be as obvious and become a better player.
that's gold right there

Tx for the translation. ^_^

In a way JD is the reigning 'special match' champion so that should be next on GOM's agenda :D
|
heheheh fantasy
gj flash, it's about time T_T
|
About time he won another title. However I think some of his fans can't still be satisfied due to the fact he didn't beat a big name like JaeDong or Effort.
|
I will have a feast with my team. Also, I've promised the people who have been helping me outside the team a huge meal so I have to buy them too. I guess I'll give the rest to my parents.
Food, Parents, and Starcraft is all Flash thinks about.
In that order. The guy is ALWAYS talking about food.
|
thanks! Very interesting.
i love Flashes shirt
"WOW!"
|
Nah pretty much every winner when asked what they will do with their prize money ALWAYS say they will buy meals for their friends. It's pretty funny.

How is it that suddenly Effort is a big name and Flash is the one with something to prove?
