Thats why Flash is the best Terran to ever play the game and thats why noone argues the fact outside of TL.

fantasy is better. love em both tho.


fantasy loses to mediocre players...



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


raw talent fantasy is better? lol

Flash is 16 and is better than fantasy. Who has more raw talent?


thats a dumb way to look at it

i think the fact that you think proleague games mean anything real is pretty funny


Well, okay (maybe...), but how many titles does fantasy have?

Yeah.


thats also a dumb way to look at it. is nada the current best player on earth?


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?


does that matter at all? nope

feel free to say something thats actually relevant

Flash won an individual league at the age of 15. He played Starcraft the first time at the age of 12. You were talking about raw talent...

To me, Flash = pure mechanics and Fantasy = pure creativity. It's kinda like seeing Boxer and Oov.


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.


That came out wrong on my part. I meant that (more recently) mechanics define Flash's play. In the first game, we didn't even see mutas, but he made several turrets in preparation for the mutas. Flash is known for having the best defense, and mechanics play a huge role in that.

oov is not coming up with all the builds


Okokok I apologize for not specifying EXACTLY what I meant, which is just that it's ironic that Fantasy, a player defined by his beautiful surgical builds, is now considered the apprentice of Oov as opposed to Boxer. Of course Boxer being in ACE for most of this time is a huge reason for that - it was just a semi-joke.

Instead I should have said the irony is that Oov is being CREDITED for all the builds now. I know it's Fantasy doing it - personally I've defended Fantasy's builds and called people out for saying "it's all oov" multiple times on these forums.

i'm glad you think raw talent is a measurement of how young you are when you win a starleague

please go back to watching starcraft with your infantile brain and leave the terran discussion to me!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha owned

Zealots pressuring but the barracks is well placed so that the marines can hide in the gap. First zealot was taken out and the second one withdrew as a dragoon takes out the scouting SCV.

Not much to go on so far.
