EPTPeople just assume everyone knows the best builds and doesn't just wing it on ladder or in practice. The players who use strong builds are winning more than anyone else, especially when their execution and mechanics are really good.

But BW was nearly solved while SC2 is still going through evolution. Flash needs to understand how the game works before he spends hours and hours of practice Stop trolling man . If Flash doesn't have talent then nobody else has any talent in e- sports as well ... Flash started dominating the moment he became a Progamer , but it took time to get to his full potential . Flash is experimenting with builds right now in SC2 , to get the feel of timings and counters and whatever . He will still be one of the best players when HOTS comes out and when he understands the game better . The problem with SC2 is that he has been practising it for less then 3 months , while in BW he was already fucking good when he became a pro , since BW wasn't forced on him like SC2 is . He is still really good for the amount of practise he has put in . He would blow 99% of the foreign scene with just his macro . The fact that he is losing so badly is because he is experimenting with builds . When someone gets 6 consecutive finals in GSL and OSL in SC2 then you can start talking to me that that player has more talent then Flash . BW was nearly solved while SC2 is still going to evolve - again wrong . Every year in BW there are new strategies , being used and units utilized like never before . By the time WoL begins to get solved everything will go back to scratch with the expansions so the game really isn't evolving . TvP has been the same in SC2 since forever , PvP isn't even at the point where players have figured out how to take their expansions safely . PvZ also hasn't made any huge progress . People figure out things when Blizzard "balances" something . So i don't see it evolving much . Only notable progress i've seen being made in TvT and TvZ . And everything will go to shit in HOTS , since it doesn't even feel like an expansions then rather a completely different game . | ||

Everyone expects you to be the best and when you're not having the results it can be a vicious cycle. I hope with Clides help he can practice better builds and hopefully understand the game a bit more. | ||

When has he laughed about a loss... going 0-2 in a PL match and losing it for your team isn't something to laugh about, nor is an 0-3 against Fantasy. The only time I've seen him laugh (well a smirk) was his loss against Dear (ended his 15 win streak). Not angry, just sad really. | ||

We might see him at the next MLG as one of the seeded players. I'm going to hope for him to be matched against Goody (another seeded player), and then I'll secretly root for Goody to win, just to see the reactions in the TL Brood War forums. ^^ | ||

Off the top of my head, his loss to Baby around march 2011 his loss to M18M earlier this season Why on earth is Last so bad at TvZ? He gets a BO win and throws it away. Same thing happened against Shine. | ||

Look at how bad jangbi was in his first game (good micro and execution, but outdated build), then compare it to his recent games where he looks incredible. People just assume everyone knows the best builds and doesn't just wing it on ladder or in practice. The players who use strong builds are winning more than anyone else, especially when their execution and mechanics are really good. Agreed. Flash was basically using the same build that he used since that over-the-shoulder vid of him playing SC2 surfaced and that Kawaiirice game on Cloud Kingdom. Basically fast-expanding and going for Marines off of 3 rax and going straight into reactored Medivacs, maybe with upgrades off of one Tech Lab and either one or two Engineer Bays upgrading attack and/or armor. But basically delaying Tanks in favor of lots of upgraded Marines with fast reactored Medivacs. Of course, there are small variations here and there, like opening with either 14cc or 1rax gasless expand or even going for a quick, greedy third like in his game against Classic today. But I'm just a Plat Terran so this might actually be bullshit. Against BaBy earlier this season, the style worked fine. But Classic and Last punished it hard with a 2-base timing attack with Siege Tanks, which is something that I've been struggling with on ladder whenever I try to emulate Flash's build. I see it more as a BO loss than Flash sucking. He really needs to look into more technical builds instead of relying on this one as it has obviously been figured out by STX Terrans. I'm very excited to see what Clide can do with the KT Terrans because they have the talent and potential to be some of the best KeSPA Terrans once they understand the game a bit better and play with better builds. | ||

FlaSh is still IN the rough transition, and he'll be here quite a while. FlaSh is probs taking this transition the hardest, besides the players who retired due to the switch. It makes me sad seeing FlaSh's head down and everything. Makes me want to cry. TT.TT | ||
