Interview says that Flash did his 10 base expansion thing as a sort of revenge against Free's scouts. He also says he thought about nukes, but he thought that was BM.

but there is more
these "uncountable koreans" would absolutely dominate a myriad of more casual/foreign players
keeping all this in mind, flash's skill is almost beyond comprehension for us mortals

I, a D player, would get raped almost every game by a decent mid-level foreigner. He in turn would get raped almost every game by a top foreigner. He in turn would get crushed by a korean semi-pro/B-teamer. He in turn would get crushed by the avarage A-teamer. And then there's a huuuuuuuuuuuge skillgap up to Flash. It's pretty amazing, ya.

LOL oh Flash. I guess he believes 10 base expansion is perfectly viable then?

I wonder how Flash continues to improve himself. It's definitely not some KT coaching magic, as his teammates don't display even an iota of Flash's skill, game sense, and strategies.

look at fOrGG rofl

I get the feeling that Flash keeps his secrets to himself. I have no doubt that Flash could improve every player in his team if he wanted to. However it would come at a cost to his own dominance.

nope if you saw the pro rep leak a lot of flash's reps were the ones leaked. He definitely is a lot more open. I heard jaedong never shares his reps.

I'm not talking about secret strategies or timings you can get from replays. Rather the unique way Flash approaches the game, in particular, his decision making processes. He is very capable of explaining why he does things, I don't believe he does so however.

it's just his mentality and maturity. he's learnt a lot after his first OSL win, hence that breakdown into tears after his second OSL win.

Flash doesn't win game after game against great players simply because he's more mature or has a better mentality. He understands the game better than them, so he's able to consistently make the best choices possible.

I'm saying the change in how he looks at the game and how he thinks as he plays it has helped him what he is today. He specifically mentions it several times in post-game interviews. He also drives fear into his opponents, and he capitalizes on that.

Why are we even talking about the OSL? I agree that it was important to him! I was originally saying that Flash is more than capable of improving his teammates but chooses not to. Mainly because it would be a waste of time he could spend on his own games. This is why KT is bad while Flash is awesome.

Honestly i disagree with your logic. To flash helping his teammate would in the end benefit him more because it would leave more time for him to focus on the individual leagues. He wouldn't have to feel pressure to carry his team behind his back.

Flash carrying his team again. Seriously, why Flash team mates cannot win more than 1 game?! GJ Stats for taking down Zero but honestly, the rest of guys should step up...

all right that's it. I converted my team from skt to ktflash. Cheering for a losing team is just too hard and being a fan of ktflash is just... one happy fan LOL

You should just go ahead and rename yourself Bandwagon.

Stats stepped up but only having one person other than flash win in multiple series won't get you past a single team in the bo7 playoffs.

I agree, but if KT manages to stay #1 at the end of the season I predict KT will win.

It's not impossible that KT wins of the bo7s (4-3 with Flash winning two of course) and then Flash wins it all in the super ace.

But anything lower than #1 and they can forget their dreams of PL title.

Seriously? That makes me a very, very sad man, the old bo2 bo7 format with one superace at the end was so awesome.

Jesus christ why is everyone saying KT is nothing without Flash. This is the fourth best and rising team in PL and Stats took down their ace player in his best match up. Flash did the brunt of the work but hell, he beat the weakest person sent out in regular matches.

I mean KT had pretty unfavorable matches. Zero with ZvP, Free PvT ForGG, Firefist against Kwanro etc, and still came out ontop. Imagine favorable matches for KT, like Flash vs Free, ForGG vs Soulkey, Firefist vs Zero and Stats vs Kwanro.

Flash is obviously carrying more than his weight, but people are really downplaying Stats here. =(

True. Stats deserves more respect. It's just that his recent WL form and individual league form was just... ='(

HOLD YOUR CHIN HIGH STATS!!! (though it may be quite heavy) CHINTOSS FTW!!
