Yep, that's how I feel. I don't think Hyun exposed any real flaw in Flash's TvZ (his mistake was very avoidable) and it can only serve to get him to refocus. I'm definitely expecting Flash to beat Zero ... with JD it's always a tossup.
Exactly, I always get antsy when Flash has big win streaks going into Individual RO16/8. To many times he has a 13+ winstreak then bounces out of both leagues.
As for the game against Hyun I wouldn't look into it to much. Flash lost because of the good muta harass. He made an error and Hyun was able to exploit it perfectly. Past that point Hyun played intelligently (though the people in LR thread said he was throwing away the game). When you establish a good lead it is viable to start trading units with your opponent. Certainly Flash chipped away at the lead throughout the game but Hyun held on. I believe the most important part was Hyun's choice of taking Flash's 4th. This denied Flash from getting an easily defendable 4th base. Even if Flash had managed to take 6 he could have never defended both his 3rd and 6, they're far from each other.
Sea Lost 2 round? I lost alot of point @ sea losing, But since both Sea and Flash @ my fantasy team and both sea and flash got into ace match... I got some points
BUt I lost points for flash and sea dropping games as well! So mixed feeling, I did not check whether did I lose point or gain point...I think I did gain some score, but little.... Gosh.... Gosh.... Oh nosss
This is a bad week for me. I got yellow @ my team, anti team is killer and hiya. I think I am going to lose more points...

in the pro gaming world, a winning rate of 66% is outstanding. thats means, 6 to 7 out of 10 games will be won. so if flash is on a 12+ game winning streak he plays way better than normal. and when the streak ends, it's not because hyun sucks and is a noob who wastes lings and flash was too cocky and the weather was bad and his cereals tasted bad this morning and he was sick and had the flu, but that hyun was just better that game. like 3-4 out of 10 games the opponents are better than flash. seriously
Dude when my cereal tastes bad, I cant do crap for the whole day.
Best night of PL ever! My heart was racing the whole Flash vs Hyun game...I seriously thought he could come back for a little while, his bio play is so good

Dude, Flash is more likely to win now, not less. Jaedong is capable of beating Flash no matter how long his TvZ streak is, so in my eyes a (minor, insignificant) TvZ loss is just what Flash needed to stay focused for his games against Zero and Jaedong. I'd be worried if Flash went into his games feeling like a little prince, only to get blindsided by the gosuness of Jaedong's ZvT.
Edit: Point is, losing to Hyun doesn't actually make Flash's TvZ worse, it's still insane. It's a question of Flash's mental state and I think that one little tiny loss will do him good.

I know, but I am sure most LBers would have voted Flash since his TvZ had been looking invincible. Now that they saw that it isnt, they'd rather give JD their vote.

Your fanboyism dreams of Flash going 0-2? First of all Flash would rape HyuN and Sea at the same time. And you have fOrGG over anyone er I mean han? Should look a little more like this
Imagine the shitstorm if Hyun ends the TvZ streak of Flash.
qfe
By far the funniest thing in this thread is the people who think that a loss makes Flash's chances against JD BETTER. And I thought fanboyism could be drug no deeper.
Basically, that game should of been over a lot faster but hyun had no fucking clue what to do with the advantage. Put someone like JD in that situation, with that advantage, and that game is over 10min+ faster.
Losing to Hyun is never, EVER, a good thing. Flash is still by far the best TvZ in the world, and the series v Zero and JD will be awesome, but losing to Hyun is not a good thing... ever.
yes it can be a good thing, not only psychologically but even statistically because his win streak has to end some time and better that it ends here than let it drag on to get even longer (and more likely to end)
