I mean in March 2008 I was ready to say this was going to happen for sure, but then it took 20 months for him to make another final. 20 long and dark months of underachieving. And now this. Yeah it feels amazing  I wanted this to happen back when reach first told us about flash in an interview... like back in late 2007... | ||

He made it here after sheer practice, gaining experience as the overworked KT ace and getting thrown into all sorts of crappy situations for a long time period of nearly 2 years after he cheesed bisu out of osl. So savor it flash, because this is where it all paid off, and show that all the time u were overworked were not in vain Nope, Flash is more talented than anyone who has ever played the game. You will not become Flash no matter how much you practise. The kid is so smart. | ||

I like how his peaks are 2316, 2318, and 2320 I think it sums up Flash pretty well. | ||

I would think most sc3 units would be pretty new at this point in time. | ||

that unit would require that SCVs mine Pocari Sweat instead of minerals. and I'm pretty sure they don't have Pocari Sweat on alien worlds, only in Korea... | ||

.By the end of game 2 Free realized that Flash won't just let him 12nex and thus played standard and felt into Flash's trap ( OMG IT'S A TARP etc ) who just casually abused the fact that he was ahead 2-0 and also the fact that Free was a nerve wreck after the second bunker rush. | ||

Hes a monster right now and only jaedong can beat him. I must admit that he has to have had practiced so much that our feeble minds can not comprehend it. But talented? I dunno, cause if he was really talented then he wouldnt need such a long time to show us that impressive play.. | ||

Try 48-7 (87.3%) since the last MSL finals - in which 5 of his losses are in TvT, where he is the best ever by far. Crazy. And if that's crazy then the consecutive dual SL finals is batshit insane. I'm not even gonna start with his Elo, or his winners league abuse of any and all opposition. To think he's got a couple of years (at the very least) before the average age in which progamers peak in skill... Maybe Blizzard could release a patch to nerf him or something? | ||

If that isn't talent I don't know what is. This isn't the first time Flash has dominated you know. He's been the best terran for a long time. | ||

It's just that he kept losing (only) the most important games for over a year. There was never any question about his talent, only that he repeatedly failed to convert it into Starleague titles. Arguably this was due to a lack of maturity as a player, which he now seems to have developed (and look at the results). | ||

All: 297-115 (72.09%) | Last 10 (old -> recent): W W W W W W W W W W vT: 103-36 (74.10%) | Last 10 (old -> recent): W L W W L W W W W W vZ: 97-40 (70.80%) | Last 10 (old -> recent): W W W W W W L W W W vP: 97-39 (71.32%) | Last 10 (old -> recent): W W W W W W W W W W by 1 game, I know, but still.... somewhat ridiculous. Flash is the Roger Federer of Starcraft. He's breaking every single record out there. JD is Nadal. Flash just needs to beat JD in a legit battle to shut all the critics up lol (poor Fed) | ||

I dunno, cause if he was really talented then he wouldnt need such a long time to show us that impressive play.. That's just the wrong perspective. It's a combination of talent and hard work - because with all due respect, how many titles did Jaedong, SaviOr, BoxeR or NaDa have at the age of 17? His first win he got by on talent, luck (cheese working out, lucky scouting, etc), and just a good streak for that time, but his game was still far from mature. Just as chess players have child prodigies that manage to surprise grand masters, but none of them can do it consistently without at least a decade of insane amounts of practice to bring their fundamental skills up to par, in BW it takes years to bring your mechanics and instincts to the highest levels. Now, finally, those have caught up with his natural talent - and luck is no longer a factor in his wins. | ||

Flash just needs to beat JD in a legit battle to shut all the critics up lol (poor Fed) Not really. The main reason for his TvZ winrate being the lowest is because of Jaedong. About 15 of the 40 losses were to JD. On the other hand, there hasn't been a terran or protoss player who can seriously compete with him. Also, the analogy doesn't work because Jaedong has more starleagues under his name than Flash, whereas Nadal has nowhere as many grand slams as Federer. | ||
