And I know "JvZ" has been around forever. I'm not contending anything about JvZ The point is that being vulnerable in the mirror matchup when you haven't had to deal with it in individual leagues at all isn't a sign of a slump, especially since Jaedong went on to win the OSL and continue his domination after his minor ZvZ dropoff. As to bitterness, I generally don't respond well to 2 line posts that have no real content. Which is exactly my point. Ah, I remember the good ol' days when coaches wouldn't even allow their zergs to play the dong. I hope they don't wizen up again  The only point I was trying to make originally was that getting to the top is hard, but staying on top is almost impossible. Flash fans were quick to note his success, but the longevity isn't there, yet. Jaedong has been around, and has proven himself time and again. That's all I was sayin. | ||

Unfortunately, beating STX doesn't count for much these days Whoever is spiking Flash's pocari sweat prior to ace matches needs to lay off. | ||

Thats really really weird than how, with maps being terran favoured, flash does stuff like this http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/details.php?section=korean&type=players&id=424&part=games&vs=P&league=standard&map=any&from_year=2009&from_month=12&from_day=31&to_year=2010&to_month=6&to_day=20&action=Update and seiya barely gets a 50% win rate vs P. Seriously, what kind of argument is that "maps are just terran favoured" when both players are terran? I'm no flash fanboy but its obvious flash is just having a bad phase in TvT. | ||

There's an over-reaction here. 0-6 in ace is a pretty big indicator, but it's not totally damning. Good players can go on bad streaks, and Flash is no exception and only looks bad because of how well he has played. | ||

Come back when you feel like actually responding to the point of my post. ok no problem . im really curious how you can possibly argue that flash'stvt is better than jaedong's zvz . let's not forget that zvz is maybe the hardest match up in terms of skills and multitasking , its also maybe the hardest match up in terms of psychology . and the lucky things ? ( bo and micro ) tvt is strategic and macro , so being the best at it is easier . the competition is really harder in zvz . 80% in one of the hardest match up is maybe the crasiest record in SC history . im not here to argue that jaedong is a better player than flash , but i cant let you saying craps like this . i will never say something like " jaedong's macro > flash's macro " . it would be dumb . personaly im not far of thinking of it . but to maintain it would be really stupid from me . if you think flash's tvt is better , keep it for you please . | ||

Really is a better straight macro TvTer than Flash, at least head to head on that map. Regularly? Really has now beaten flash... twice. He's 1-1 vs Flash in the last 3 hours, don't get crazy Flash antifans out in full force today =\ I've missed your posts, vaMpYr :D | ||

I can see where you're coming from, but I think the haters are being just as quick to note Flash's failures as the fanboys are to note his successes (this was true with Jaedong as well). On June 23 2010 15:32 vaMpYr wrote: ok no problem . im really curious how you can possibly argue that flash'stvt is better than jaedong's zvz . I never said that. Such a comparison is impossible. The two matchups don't even share a race. I pointed out a comparison--that Flash's TvT getting "figured out" at this stage is comparable to Jaedong's getting "figured out" in the middle of last year. In both cases it's too early to say that they have lost their skill at the matchup. One month of ace matches just isn't a large enough sample size. I said *nothing* about the relative levels of their dominance. Such a statement isn't relevant to the analogy.

I question if you've played TvT, but again, this has nothing to do with what I was talking about at all.

The "craps like this" are things I haven't said. They're things your fanboyism has deluded you into thinking I said. | ||

How your opinion is obviously not that of the majority and highly subjective, yet in every freakin post you say everyone who disagrees is a blind fanboy (whereas youre obviously just being as objective as can be!!) | ||

He's a good terran, and he might be getting better, but don't kid yourself. Right now you can't even compare Really with Flash. How is Flash overrated? i have seen people claim he is undeniably bonjwa and some say he is better than all the old bonjwas(i assume these people are kidding but with the internet you never know) Best current terran->undeniable Best player ever to play the game-> overrating him a little, for the moment anyways. | ||
