I think flash was only turtling so he would have a 100% chance to win instead of pushing and unexpectedly getting destroyed like he has been in the past by best. yeah thats what I thought aswell But doesn't like everyone know that you CAN'T be hasty with terran? They just use word turtle to flame because they hate Flash and when you do have someone you try to use any argument to offend him, right?

flash is playing so many diffrent styles and is still being hated. that so sad  he plays like 30 games against zerg and exactly in one game he turtles because he is at a huge disadvantage and again people say: "flash is turtling every game mimimimim"

What the hell do you people want?! Do you want flash to lose for your own entertainment?
I'm pretty sure they'd find a way to complain about that, too. I think it's just the inverse rule of player dominance to community acceptance we have around here.

yeah flash just kind of just rolls over everything, all the little dramatic flickers, all the clever and nifty tricks, all the short-lived sparks, all the small moments of brilliance he just rolls over everything and leaves behind a distinctly bitter taste in one's mouth
I agree with what some other dude said earlier, in that he is almost exactly like iloveoov in the above regard
he is iloveoov 2.0
he might, and most likely will, be seen as one of the greatest players ever - maybe even a bonjwa but as of now, people are hating him for the unwanted change that flash is bringing
|
The other reason I want Flash to lose is because I don't want another Terran bonjwa. Edit : Or any bonjwa, really.

He 3-0's the world's probably best (if not maybe only second to Stork) in 3 convincingly different fashions even in a late game macro war against the one person who presumably could and sometimes does macro better than Flash himself. And people complain about all 3 games. He rapes Stork with a stylish fashion in their last PL match. Like the fuck do people want?... Is it fun to watch when someone just rapes over and over and over? And he doesn't even have any flair or style. He just masses shit and attack moves, abuses maps, and makes tanks. No it's not fun to watch as a viewer. It's like watching Oov back in his heydays when he just raped everything alive and everyone was like "This is gay".
He's soooo much better than every other Terran it is remarkable. People can't copy his style because it takes too much subtlety and too few mistakes. He's only 17 and this is literally watching genius, an ordinary person who is able to see a game in extraordinary ways.
Also I don't get the "masses shit and attack moves" ... in like 80% of his TvZs the last few months he's been extremely aggressive and displayed the best micro any Terran has ever shown with Marines.
Haters gotta hate I guess because there is no real argument against his style other than maybe "he doesn't do crazy stuff that will lose games"

Flash has the most aggressive TvZ out there right now and all he does is turtle? His most turtle-like TvZ was S3 v Calm and even there the first 1/2 of the game was Flash being very aggressive.
Flash has done early game timing attacks in 3 out of his last 4 TvPs, but that's turtling?
Then there's TvT... but TvT == Turtlefest so you got me there.

If the players have some attitude about wanting to entertain rather than win then you can kiss any epicness goodbye and start watching wrestling instead. The fact is that both players were trying really hard to win, and Flash played too good for Best to have much of a chance at making things entertaining. The end. Flash didnt play to win in game 2. He played not to lose. which is why it went 50 minutes. He killed Best's nat and had 3 base to toss 2 yet he backs off and lets Best take 6 bases and make a game of it. cant complain about game 3, he just outplayed best there

It happens in every sport actually. If one team wins so much, people will just hate that team, I think its in the natural of human want to support the weaker. Like when I watch a football(soccer) match if my favourite not playing I will support the weaker team 
Exactly. Just look at the hate SKT1 was getting at the end of the last Proleague. People will always throw rocks at the throne.

What kind of a stupid joke is this? Selective memory at its best right here: "Flash turtles for one half of one game while doing early pushes the other two.....Flash only turtles ololol"

Here here! I think, to answer the question in bold, people just hate him because he is simply too good. There is a saying I heard somewhere: "nobody likes the perfect person, jealousy sees to that". As absurd as it seems, I think the people who dislike him would all the sudden have no problem with him if he started to lose a bit. This includes people who claim to hate him for his play style, since they don't really hate his style, they just hate his success.

he is iloveoov 2.0 I don't have any issue with his playstyle, it's just that he's a fucking machine. It's like a machine playing chess against an ordinary chess player. The machine will straight up destroy because it's got precision in just about everything and is virtually unstoppable.
I just think it's really lame for viewership when he wins all the time, which is why I'm cheering for anyone who plays against him. It's the same with sports. If someone wins everything, then there's nothing to watch anymore.

I guess a very solidly playing Terran with a on of starsense just isnt as exiting to watch. It sure as hell gets the job done, and has you going... he's really good, but it doesnt give the same exitement as some other players.

"Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained?"
someone make a photoshop of that gogo

I like terran underdogs.

Playing not to lose is the same as playing to win dude, this isn't chess; there's no draw (well....basically not anyway). Look at his interview: it's not as if Flash wanted to camp that long, but he was scared of Best's sick macro and the fact that the map wasn't too great for terran so he decided to play it safe. I.e. he decided to maximise his chances of winning.
