I like that getting 3 wins vs flash in a 9 game series is the new standard for "best in the world besides flash" lol. Who has the best chance of getting more than 3 wins vs flash that's left? I would guess snow, rain, or last (if last is playing at his top game). | ||

But then I guess that's just his style: go for hyper aggression with poor macro and hope you damage the terran more than you lose from your investment. Against flash it only worked 1/3 of the time, but against lesser players it is far more effective. It's always cool to see 3+ shuttles used in a bust attempt too. But damn it hurt to see mini lose so many units to mines and lose more reavers than flash lost SCVs, or to lose entire mineral lines to like 6 speed vultures.

Pretty sure Stork has a better PvT than both mini and best, or at least he used to Mini made too many mistakes, he played smart in general though. Best was just banging his head against a wall. | ||

Yeah Effort would be the best bet of current players if he wasn't in military. He's not only a great player but seems uniquely good at mind games with flash.

Best was just banging his head against a wall. I mean come on, peak Stork was basically tied with Jangbi for GOAT PvT! But he's not that player any more despite impressive results in the KSL. Rain and Snow seem to be the best current PvTers, although maybe I'm wrong since I don't know korean so I don't really know who has the best stats on PvT sponmatches. I feel like throughout flash's career there have definitely been times when I would take certain players over flash in a Bo9 (Jaedong in 2008/2009, bisu in late 2008, fantasy in 2012, etc) but damn he really is just a fucking terminator that only rarely loses games by getting caught off guard and even more rarely gets outplayed. These series are so cool at showing how 9 games really is just all about pure skill, whereas a Bo5 is still highly affected by mind games and strategy. Flash said in interviews back in like 2009/2010 that he rarely loses in practice, which is just insane and totally believable. | ||
