B/c they didn't want him. KT was the only team that contacted him. Mad respect for KT that they allowed the kid to continue his career in progaming even though they didn't really need another player.

Fantasy > Bisu/JD/Stork? What?!? Look, recent results give him 1 SL gold and silver, but JD's been in more finals, and the other two have faced tougher competition (and play the more fragile series race). I don't think it's very realistic to say that only Flash is better than Fantasy. The Terrorist is amazing, no doubt, and is as S-Class as can be without being TBLS, but c'mon.

Fanta beat stork for the SL gold. Fanta is also better than Bisu, even SKT says Fanta is thier top player(tho this is long ago).

And with that, STX stood up, brushed off its shoulders, took a long gander at the world, and with a deep breath, the sun waving across the sky, began marching into the world once more with a smile.

Excellent!!! I hope I can extend my liquibet win-streak past 6!

I find it quite amazing at how Wooki keeps his cool under pressure and his decision making. Not S-Class yet, but he is clearly showing increasing potential in every game he's been fielded

Flash will literally go undefeated this whole proleague.

As opposed to Stats who will go figuratively undefeated this whole Proleague?

But it's pretty awesome to see him still undefeated and looking invincible when Bisu and JD have been dropping games here and there.

man sets 2 and 4 were so lame. protoss losing because they 12nex is always such a pain to watch. and then set 4 was so dumb: "wookie expands first. trap does nothing. wookie has 20 supply lead in 5 minutes. wookie wins easily". if STX is going to keep sending people out that just lose that aren't last/bogus, at least play calm and mini more because they at least play fun games :\. admittedly dear's other games this season have been better, but trap is just not a fun guy to have around lol

set 1 was OK but last really got fucked by not scouting the fourth base. glad to see action finally winning again. bogus vs stats was a great match though. I really want to see bogus tested vs other top protoss players now.

Beautiful results to wake up to, except for Stats losing to Bogus. Nevertheless I am starting to become irked that teams are sacrificing their lesser players to Flash and just hoping to beat the rest of KT's roster. I always love watching Flash win but most of his games this season leave me unsatisfied. It used to be the greatest thing ever watching Flash struggle against meticulously prepared snipers but ultimately come through in the end thanks to his brilliant play. Nowadays Flash's opponents just die without putting up much resistance at all. Hopefully with KT's 2nd string starting to win games at a decent rate teams opposing teams will adjust their strategies and actually start putting some effort into taking down Flash.

Team 8 sent Jaedong and look how that turned out, the problem isnt that teams are preparing fodder, its possible that flash is making their snipers look like fodder, in the end its simply not good strategy to send your best players against flash, you're much better off going for a 3-1 win.

I think the lack of ace matches has a lot to do with it. Flash has always brought home the first win quite easily, it was in the ace match where he got to face the star player or the meticulously prepared sniper. This was because he was garunteed to be KT's ace and every other team knew that.

Also, Dear almost certainly wasn't sent out with the intention to face Flash. Up until yesterday's match, Flash's map stats were as followed:

3 - Electric Circuit
2 - Ground Zero
2 - Jade

However during this match Flash was sent out on Sniper Ridge (for the first time), so its incredibly unlikely that STX could have predicted that.

Also because of the team depend on Flash so much to bring home the win , his hand had to pay for the price , luckily there is no more winner league for Flash to do any more damage to the other team .
