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.


Right. 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..


He's been impressive since his debt and he revolutionized TvP at the age of 15. 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.


yep. all this "he plays so boring, just macro 1a2a3a gg" bullshit is ridiculous. This guy had his own build for Katrina. Just because Fantasy (who btw got a lot of help from oov) might be more creative doesn't mean that flash is less talented lol.
The best SC player besides JD and bisu I guess and probably the best terran to ever play the game

Dammit. Wanted to catch the last few games of this when I got home from work. Find out it's a 3-0 crushing defeat T_T.

Free I believed in you! Hope Kal doesn't suffer the same fate..

Flash has created far more innovations and builds than Fantasy. He is a far more creative player.

Admittedly, Fantasy's builds are pretty damn flashy.

The Federer analogy is pretty good in the sense of the sheer aura emanating from Flash right now.

When Federer was in his absolute prime, it was as if he was already starting with a one set lead. He was just so good basically every player facing him had already conceded a big advantage. You can clearly see the same thing happening with Free here...they both get into the booth and while Flash KNOWS he will win at least 3-1 basically, Free is probably thinking "....can I really beat Flash?".

Jaedong is similar to Nadal here in that he's probably the only current player who wouldn't be affected by that aura and would go into the match thinking of himself as Flash's equal. That's where the analogy ends mind you.

Though what happens now that Nadal is injured, eh?
Also theoretically one can also say that Jaedong is Federer, with the titles, and this is 2008-9 in the tennis world, when Nadal overtakes him for the #1 spot, only to lose it to Jaedong again due to injuries/sucking. And what better spot for an "overtaking" than the MSL finals?

Like I said, the analogy only extends as far as the 'aura' is concerned really.

I don't know if it's been said but Flash is on a 13 win streak vs P and is 25-2 this year against P.

According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

No player in this game has dominated like Flash is doing now. He's been 3-0 everything as of late...
Jaedong is the only player that can stop Flash.
Forever the best, IMMvp <3

Guys, it's official. TvZ is Flash's WORST matchup. Lol.

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

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)

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.


It does work in that Nadal is just about the only person in the world who can routinely beat Federer when they are both at their best.

That being said, Nadal likes to lose against nobodies.

Yes blah blah starleague this starleague that. The amount of championships Federer has isnt what gives him that look of invincibility, it's how he crushes everyone he meets besides Nadal.

Given this point in time i'd consider that analogy rather apt.

I guess so. All Terrans and Protoss players failed to stop ultimate weapon. Time for Zerg players to take their beating.

Ah, another Flash vs Jaedong final will be so sweet I really hope Jaedong will beat Calm so we can watch the most epic final ever.

The only thing that is standing between Flash and his bonjwa title is Jaedong.

You mean God-title.
Bonjwa is surpassed in every aspect! I watched when savior dominated, at his peak he got to dual finals once. This is like nothing we've seen before.
