Yeah yeah Flash played really good. And Rain fucking choked. Worst series I ever saw him play. Action, now Rain. People be playing like crap deep into tournies. You can check my post history. I do not take the skills of these cats lightly. And I don't disparage pro gamers personally at all (except fuck Savior) But this has been horrible and sub-generic play. Flash and Snow of course get credit for the wins rather then their opponents but ... holy crap this was some weak play. | ||

i'd hope that with rehab and time he could return in a couple years. he could probably even switch his hands up and learn it all over again. it is quite a journey but he is quite the exceptional man. | ||

None of the maps in this tournament seem as hard as Sparkle or Third World though. Although we still haven't seen a TvP on Tripod, which seems like a tough map. | ||

In a long 40min game you can actually see how well someone plays, but in a short 10min game? In three short 10min games? It was just build-order wins for Flash. We could barely even see what strategies he had planned. The only real bad play I noticed was the dragoon getting killed in the last game. | ||

People are just going to continually slight Snow forever because of this, if Flash was so superior to Snow at the time he could have beaten him on THE MOST STANDARD MAP IN THE POOL Gladiator. Snow deservedly won. I think he has a fair shot in the finals too. Still favoring Flash 4-2 | ||

From the Snow vs Flash thread: On May 02 2018 00:13 Liquid`Drone wrote: ELO adjusted Tvp on all ASL maps (seen from terran pov - bigger than 50% means terran favored, less than 50% means p): Gladiator : 50.3% Transistor : 37.6% Sparkle : 55.1% Third World : 46.2% Transistor was the most imbalanced map (which Flash won), with Third World only being slightly P favored in comparison. And turns out Sparkle was actually T favored but of course no one brings that up. | ||

Name 1 other time Rain actually CHOKED "deep in a tourney" I'm not gonna deny he played like shit game 2 and 3, but theres no possible way you can say Rain "chokes deep" in tournaments | ||

Transistor was obviously his most hated as he vetoed it. I stand by what I said when I questioned the claim that Third World is balanced.

The only thing you can do as a player is come back, win it again, and shut them up. But then usually doing it twice might not be enough.. Three or four should shut people up. | ||

We could barely even see what strategies he had planned. The only real bad play I noticed was the dragoon getting killed in the last game. Lmao did you even watch the games? How were they build order wins? Gasless expand is common against Protoss and it's up to Protoss to punish accordingly. Game 2 Flash took a risk with proxy speed vultures and it paid off. Game 3 it was Rain who forced Flash into double barracks after gas steal. | ||

He clutched game 7 vs Flash in the last ever Proleague Grand Final. If there must be one, the single most important game of his career. 11-16 vs Flash all time. The player Flash called his greatest rival. Holds by far the longest PvT win streak vs Flash at 5 over 8 months in 2009. Starting with a 2-1 comeback vs Flash in GOM Classic Season 2 quarters. 3-0 Skyhigh in semis. Wins the tournament. Far more impressive than the second best PvT streak vs Flash: Stork's 4 between 2 days in 2007. 5-2 vs terrans in 2007 GOM MSL ro16 and quarters. He won that tournament too. 3-0 vs Sea in Terror League grand final. 3-0 Last in VANT Starleague quarters. 3-1 Sharp in semis. 58-31 vs T in Proleague. Better than any other protoss. He is the best protoss player of all time. In PvT specifically, I put him 2nd best all time after Stork. Jangbi close at 3rd. | ||
