Don't criticize Flash for being so fucking good and being able to properly take advantage of his opponents weaknesses and instead tell his opponents to get better. In this case, put all the blame on Bisu. Really. You can't blame Flash for the fact he's better than his opponents. Also, you would've orgasmed if Fantasy had played in that game vs Best. | ||

Also no, I'd rather Best win, so if Fantasy did that, I would probably be disappointed. What exactly about Flash is supposed to make me like him? Is it the fact that he might cheese, turtle, or 14CC-> timing attack in any game? Or is it his ability to make a hyped game less than what I'd want it to be? Sorry, but honestly, there are legitimate reasons not to like Flash, and saying "Sorry he's too good" doesn't make him more likable. Most of the greatest players except for oov were more enjoyable to watch in their time. | ||

I would much rather watch Sea or Fantasy if I'm watching a Terran but that's just personal preference. | ||

You can dislike Flash as much as you want to and you can be vocal about it, I don't care, just don't spew out nonsense in an attempt to back it up. You're no beacon of objectivity either, as a Flash fanboy. There's legitimate reasons not to like your guy that aren't just 'fanboyism' that you don't want to admit. How do you think I grew to dislike him in the first place? Quite simply, he showed me a way of playing that I despise. | ||

He just does it better. | ||

Playing good? It does come down to pure fanboyism (which doesn't always have a logical explanation). | ||

Flash turtles? Fuck he's a little turtling bitch. Flash timing attack? Why can't he win without doing something normal? Flash cheese? What a cunt. Flash plays normal? Holy shit he can't win without doing something interesting. Flash does something interesting? It has been done before, what a fucking copy cat. Flash lose? FUCK YEAH WHAT A FUCKING SHITTY PLAYER | ||

To be honest, he does ruin a lot of games with either a turtling strategies or ones that just win through superior macro/timing attacks. You can dislike Flash as much as you like, but saying that he 'ruins' 'a lot of games' by winning through 'turtling' or 'superior macro' or 'timing attacks' is covering an awful lot of bases. Flash also has incredible M&M micro, do you hate it when he wins with superior micro, too? Is he ruining the game when he wins through M&M control vs Zerg? Just admit you just don't like the guy and move on. There's no need to make up bullshit about Flash 'ruining' games by doing (insert any strategy ever). | ||

also, if you thought that last game was superbly ridiculous how flash managed to win even though being behind on bases, find the game where he used mech against jd on katrina. thats wat's ridiculous. | ||

He might be boring to watch for some because his games are mostly onesided, but thats it. | ||

But man it just gets annoying that every time Flash dominates threads are spammed with a crapload of haters. i love that everytime flash dominates the threads explode over the 100 sites. shows me that there are still ppl interested in bw (i also think many ppl came back from sc2) | ||

- You had a really close game with Fantasy. ▲ Though my hands weren’t completely warmed up, it's true that Fantasy hyung also played very well. During the middle of the game, my hands finally loosened up and I thought to myself I would be able to come back, and because it was a situation where there was no one else that could play for my team, I think I exerted even more effort And Flash with some lame excuses...ZZZZzzz!! Clearly, Fantasy played superbly.... | ||

There was a whole article about meching vs zerg... i think it was fantasy's final edit... it talks specifically about this~ http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=80595 by Day[9] so it's legit~ :D | ||
