But I will say, Flash plays very well in almost every situation. There's no denying that. | ||

If you hate Flash, here's what I suggest: Pretend he's the evil 'final boss' of Starcraft, and cheer for his opponent every time. If Flash wins, you can just go "Oh well, that was expected, damn you Flash!", but if Flash loses you get to go "AHAHA OH YES SUCK IT FLASH SUCK IIIIIIIIT". It's very cathartic. I used to do it whenever Bisu would play, back when he wasn't slumping. And yes, Flash will turn off God Mode eventually and descend back to the mortal realm. When he does, you get to be there cheering. Until then, I'll just leave this here: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/1231/flashthisseason.jpg) | ||

To be honest, I am not getting that impression. PvT aside, since he played so few of them, the only close situations were in TvT. However, TvT is very forgiving. In the end, the better player with better mechanics and play sense simply win. I don't think close situations in a TvT count as much as in other matchups. For example in Flash v.s. Ruby, Ruby gained heavy army advantage, map control and better economy. Then Flash raped Ruby anyway. In PvZ. Either Flash rolls over Zergs and they drop dead or he screw up a turret. | ||

I don't care what you fanboys say, but I'm gonna root for his opponent. I did this with Oov and Savior in the past, and now I'm gonna do this with Flash until someone shows up and can take down Flash consistently or Flash somehow enters into his own slump at his own accord. Flash will continue winning and winning. He's not going to give up any games or not play his best because he feels like he's not entertaining the fans or because he's winning too much. He will continue to dominate and dominate until someone is legitimately good enough to beat him. And I don't see anyone (including Jaedong) right now good enough to beat him. Maybe next season. | ||

Why bother, you'll just bitch about Kwanro b/c you already hate him, and you'll bitch about JD because he wins so many leagues. I'm pretty sure you're just a hater T.T | ||

That said, I want him to win both SLs and all that. But if he gets to a 30-win streak in TvT and FBH beats him and dances, Flash's slump may be meteoric. | ||

The truth is Best played a very poor series. Flash played well as usual and therefore it wasn''t much fun to watch because Flash won so easily. It's not his fault Best sucked. | ||

Perhaps a little less varied than 3 months ago but hell, it's pretty good overall! Just look at the contrasting Zerg's styles out there atm or the contrasting protoss styles. Flash's play is pretty much exactly the same every game, ill give you that! but other terrans play the game differently so meh. Sounds like you're just bored with Flash dominating more than anything elseFlash is a good guy, no doubt about it. But his play can get robotic and absolutely boring. I'm beginning to feel the same way about everyone these days. The variance in games and the excitement has gone down drastically from the last few years. | ||

No, Flash needs to stop being so good. It's only fair. He needs to find that perfect window where his games aren't too short, but aren't too long either. If he can't win between the, say, 15 to 25 minute mark window, he should just suicide all his units in one final attack. Or maybe he should start offracing as Protoss. That would be fun. | ||

I started following SC again just before Bacchus (I followed somewhat back in 2002-2004/5) and since I played terran I naturally became a fan of Flash. There was an instant where we thought "this kid is going to be the best ever" then we were subjected to almost 2 years of Flash choking when it counted. Luxury, ForGG, GGplay, Kwanro, Leta, Best, Yarnc. The kid has been S Class for 2+ years and has 1 major title to his credit. We've been through enough, just let the kid win a double title. Professional e-sports is just like any professional sport, not every nba team is going to win the nba finals, not every nfl team is going to win the super bowl. Remember the Patriots vs Giants last year? Patriots went undefeated all the way to the super bowl, lost the big game. Flash could possibly lose both in the osl and msl finals, but despite his lack of major tiles Flash is still a great programmer. Yeah and I hope he wins both the msl and osl this year. Remember Stork only has one osl title. | ||
