He came back for a while during SSL in 2014/15, lost to Larva in one of those (can't remember if he played in more than one SSL atm), then eventually "left" and then came back and made that statement about leaving the scene for good and wanting to continue the family business instead. It's too bad, but if he wasn't motivated to try and make it as one of the best Protosses, there's not much that can be done. | ||

Despite the one-sided result, it was a beauty to watch Flash play his god-level TvP, the matchup that initially launched him to fame, on the biggest stage for the last time. What a great way for the greatest player of all time to go out. Afreeca really puts a lot of work into the production quality of the ASL and I'm really grateful that there is still this level of dedication to BW in 2019. The passion that goes into this game was palpable when I was sitting in the stands. I wish I could better articulate how lucky I feel to have been able to experience this moment in BW history. Congratulations, I'm happy it was an awesome experience for you. You got to see Flash's final official bow. A complete 4-0 domination as it should be tbh, that's current Flash, and that's what you got to see, and you are right to be grateful, I envy you could see that live  Amazing. | ||

But still, that is the one title he "lacks". I could have edited and said "premier tournaments" that he entered. KSL is a high profiled tournament for sure. But this is just academic. Flash didn't play in any of the KSL's, and while I really enjoyed watching KSL, if the absolute best choose not play in a championship, then your statement is debatable^^ | ||

Your argument is still valid, of course. | ||

Flash didn't play in any of the KSL's, and while I really enjoyed watching KSL, if the absolute best choose not play in a championship, then your statement is debatable^^ I understand your point about KSL. However, given its prize and player pools there are certainly some reasons to call it a premier tournament. Not to mention that it listed as such in liquipedia. More importantly, if we assumed that KSL cannot claim to be a premier tournament, then GOMTV Classic can hardly be called one either. In season 1, 5 pro teams did not send their players to participate, in season 2, 3 pro teams did not send any of their players, and in season 3 there were again several pro teams that did not let their players participate. Most notably, SKT did not let their players compete in seasons 1 and 3 of GOMTV Classic. | ||

Bisu recently stated that he won't participate in KSL most probably, because "of their approach to the players" - whatever that means... The top Koreans don't feel tempted to participate. | ||
