A lot of fans of best player make this sort of reassurance. Because they cannot accept anything less than domination over everyone, that is the central premise of their fandom. Which leads the argumentation over player to be about performance, scoreboard, shallow arguments, rather than personality set, setting and mood of player. Hence your claim of all fans doing that is an incorrect premise.

The use of the word hence implies that there is some sort of evidence or a cause that leads to a logical conclusion. However, what you wrote before that doesn't explain why my "claim" is disproven (not like I was using the denotative meaning of the word "all", I thought that was obvious).

In fact, I don't get what the preceding sentences have to do with anything. If we are talking about the caliber of a player, obviously we will have to point to performance, cold hard statistics and quality of play over personality, mood etc.

It's baby's old id, which precedes the said (P)

I wonder, why 2 fac? He scouted port, so it was reasonable to go fac port.

What happened is simple, Flash is undoubtly a very strong player who has an insane winrate currently. And guess what, with fans come haters. How many times have you seen TBLS or anyone really lose and not have seen posts saying :He will slump, he is no longer pro etc. Remember the entire shitstorm last time when Flash was taken out in the OSL/MSL?
What in reality happened is that Baby did a sort of cheese(Proxy rax into contain). He executed it nicely I am not talking about that, but this leads to arguments all over.

Except he already beat Flash once in a straight up game.

Ugh, Flash fans are unbearable.

flash started his career by doing some incredible cheese to take top players, nothing wrong in beating a player using cheese

people don't understant that cheese is what makes the game good and unpredictable, if top players could win all the game by playing standard, there wouldn't be much competition

Good job by BaBy to salvage a win in a situation where most wouldn't. Fox really needs some new players or transfers.

KT fans being irritating as fuck again. As if Flash doesn't cheese lol. Not only that but it was scouted and Flash played badly. Plus BaBy is definitely good enough to beat Flash straight up and has done it before, and the games he lost were close.

What are people talking about? Flash was the one who did an SCV all-in attack. If anyone was cheesing it was him.

Damn, no one fell for it.

And this sort of shows the limited argumentation of a lot of flash fans.

Flash does indeed usually get the last laugh. One day he will not be the best player but right now how is. What's the problem here?

It's natural for fans to look forward to the next win.

Don't know why anybody is asking whether Flash is still the best player or not considering that he's 97 ELO points ahead of #2. Over the past ~3 months nobody else has shown his level of consistency. Other than having a weak month in December he's looked borderline invulnerable.

Yeah, Bisu / Stork are just too inconsistent to ever get near Flash.
And well, Jaedongs spring slump seems to end, so i hope at least he'll come close again.

Come on man, out of over 50 posts there's been like 3 belligerent Flash fans, almost every other person in the thread either congratulated Baby or laughed it off. The cure to antagonism is not antagonism.
