But yeah it is still really good - just need to finish off Best and possibly Movie to make a final statement. The stats for New Tornado are 2-1 PvT, and the stats for New Tornado + Tornado are 3-3 PvT in total, so we can't really say if it's a good TvP map yet. But your point definately stands. Flash has gotten smacked around so much by the big Protosses that one or two wins vs these same players isn't enough yet. | ||

It's still just scary though when you think about how it's clearly his weakest matchup | ||

But, I expect the semi-finals B with Movie vs Shine will be a lot more entertaining than Flash 3-0 or 3-1'ing either of them in the finals. | ||

Again, I think it's too early. Flash is without a doubt playing like a bonjwa. The key distinction between playing like a bonjwa and being a bonjwa is the amount of time you can keep it up. Flash's utter domination of this season is a strong argument but he needs to win a SL here and then maintain it for at least one more season. | ||

Click the spoiler to see how Flash's dominance has unfolded so far this season, though. Just unreal: + Show Spoiler + Every game played this season: ![[image loading]](http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/7244/flashthisseason.png) HyuN is the only 'Loss' who hasn't had righteous vengeance passed on him yet. He'd better watch out next time he faces Flash. | ||

Flash also didnt have to play in MSL semis, OSL finals and PL finals. Jaedong just had a bad luck with scheduling. If they were at least two weeks apart, Jaedong could have won a Treble for sure. | ||

This. As Day[9] says, look for when and where Flash decides to use his scans during a VOD or replay. His game sense is impeccable. He always seems to know exactly where to scan, what to scan for, and he always seems to know just when and where things are going to come. That, and in many games he shows that he can just stroll "blindly" across the map. In one of his recent OSL games, he exhibited late game map control against a Hive tech Zerg and was able to move about freely despite the presence of ultraling, defiler, and mass scourge. I was absolutely going "Wow wtf" when he had his Vessels SEPARATED from the rest of his army and just kept moving them around. I don't think I know any other player that can just isolate his ENTIRE VESSEL CLOUD from the rest of his army and just move it about as he pleases, letting the Vessels die and just remaking them later. In the same game, he moved out with his MnM tank push BEFORE his vessel came out. How many Terran players would push out before the vessel came out? It takes an incredible game sense and even some mental willpower to do something like that. It's absolutely unfathomable, even the best Zerg players look like they are playing like crap against Flash. Except they're not playing like crap, Flash just knows when he can exploit his opponents and when he can move about freely. Day[9] often says that Flash's strength is making his opponents do what HE wants them to. He forces them to play his game, and that is an extremely scary talent. His game sense reminds me of Savior during Shinhan 3, it's like Savior's defense was just impenetrable until he was ready to roll his opponent into the ground. | ||
