Do you even watch Flash play? His micro is easily the best among terrans right now. Iloveoov often had sloppy micro, which is one reason why people hated him: he was the anti-Boxer. Flash's micro is so amazing to watch, take a look at some of his vulture blocks and mine laying in these games, no one I've seen does it as well as him. And I shouldn't have to mention tvz, his mnm micro is up there with old-Nada. If you're crying because you hate people who win, just come out and say it. There is nothing boring about Flash's playstyle. 5 out of his last 6 tvps are among the most exciting tvps I've ever seen (early timing pushes). | ||

It's like Federer in tennis. For a while he absolutely steamrolled everyone in a ridiculously dominant fashion. That was fun to watch for a while, but when Nadal came along and was able to actually give Federer serious competition things became much, much more interesting and entertaining. Right now Flash is like the emergent Federer, but he's lacking his Nadal. Jaedong is the obvious candidate, but after their Bo3 earlier...well, we'll have to wait and see I guess. | ||

But isnt the correct answer that others should work hard and try to catch him? we dont need flash to get bad, we need another great players that can match him! Flash just shows what is possible in SC. If he can achieve it, why cant you [Fantasy]? | ||

I don't think many people caught it the first time they watched the recent Stork vs Flash game (I didn't until I watched the VOD), but there were two times when Stork tried to mine-drag mines that were like a centimeter away from Flash's tanks, into his tanks, and Flash sniped his own mine before it could blow up on him. TWICE. That's fucking crazy. | ||

The guy is clearly untouchable, as Oov was when he burst onto the scene with his macro. yeah and also jd was loved so much for his spirit and that air of constant struggle that he gave off. along with the mostly-crappy team that he came from, his nearly-career-destroying FA issues, and his constantly-humble manner, very few people could really hate him strongly. tbh jd's character at his peak was much more admirable than flash's character is as of now | ||

I dont know if Flash is just THAT good that everyone else's prime just isnt good enough or if there dont happen to be other S-class people in their prime, but he's dominating more then Bisu and/or Jaedong did. Yeah.. back when Jaedong, Bisu and Flash could take games off each other at like a 50% rate. It was kind of the definition of S-class (tiered) players. Only other S-class players can beat S-class players without doing something that could be deemed once in a lifetime(read: season). I'm sure all the vitriol for Flash won't go away until he has legitimate competition again. Remember when Flash made a promise to his fans to do well this season? Well.. he lived up to that and people are complaining about hoe he fulfilled it. | ||

Flash doesn't lose. It takes out the entertainment value when someone gets THIS dominant. | ||

Flash has been nothing but humble and respectful this season. He knows he's a favourite to win OSL and still just said it was "50:50". What on earth else do you need for Flash to say? Geez...it's not like Jaedong was talking after every game about how he was going to donate money to starving children or anything, they are both highly respectable and humble. | ||
