I agree

Boxer=pure mechanics. mindless micro how boring

oov=pure creativity. What a genius.

On a more serious note anyone who thinks Flash wins because of mechanics doesn't actually pay attention to his games. His defense, builds, game sense, and decisionmaking are his strengths; mechanics are probably the weakest aspect of his play.

On topic Flash's use of fast range goliaths to snipe overlords so that Hoejja couldnt clear mines was a really great idea. Hoejja definitely had to allin attack there (he could not have sat back and expanded whatsoever) and I thought Flash would have to get tanks and might have been in danger, but nope!

You know the irony is, it seems that Oov is the one coming up with all the builds now.

Calling Flash pure mechanics sells him short a lot. He could use more harass in his play but he has been as responsible as anyone for defining standard Terran play over the past year. The exception, of course, is Fantasy's mech.

The upcoming MSL and OSL are really huge for Flash. He basically needs to make a really deep run in at least one, if not both leagues, and doing so will require him to redefine his play somewhat. If he manages to do that (and it's not inconceivable), he could potentially take yet another leap in skill. It's always felt like Flash hasn't quite fulfilled his potential, but if he doesn't get somewhere in this Starleague season, then maybe he really has peaked.

How can you say fantasy is the best terran in the world then? Do you know how all terrans play in practice? Maybe some very weak-minded player is much better than fantasy, but fails when people watch him play?

fantasy is still unrefined

in terms of raw talent is he superior to flash but that's an abstract concept, flash is much more consistent

fantasy is the best terran in the world but it kinda takes the ability to ignore results altogether to think that way hahah

Flash will win at least one league so long as he avoids mass schedule overload and being eliminated in the group stages.

Know why?

Proleague ends.
