Why? Simple really. 1) Nobody argues Flash's TvT is the best in the world right now. 2) Flash has to prove his TvZ isn't total shit 3) If this ends up as a Flash vs Iris Final and Flash does win, chances are people will still say stupid shit along the lines of "NOPE FLASH IS STILL A BAD TERRAN LOL" "HAHA FLASH FLASH IS BAD LOL" | ||

He's one of the best out there (and probably the best Terran) at playing a build where you count on your opponent to leave you ONE window of opportunity and then seizing it. Such a valuable skill to have. But, TvT BO5 seems like the hardest matchup to steal a series in (no ForGG 14CC jokes here please ... it's not happening this time). And is there any doubt a fully rested Flash who hasn't played in two weeks and hasn't been in a final for a whole year would win any game against Iris that didn't have its outcome decided in the first ten minutes? | ||

There is going to be so much money in SC2, its going to be ridiculous. you are delusional,balancing SC2 will take months, till then there will be no true pro stuff in it.And keep waiting for it to come, this "soon" is since like 4 months. Some of you are acting like as soon as this SC2 comes out, SC1 will dissapear. | ||

Face it, all the current SC pros don't have many more OSL's/MSL's/ProLeagues for SC. There won't be many more SC titles to win, period. Blizzard is going to pump so much money into SC2 and so will Korea especially with the reactions at E-Stars Seoul for SC2 and the upcoming Blizzcon... | ||

SC will atleast live until thenI personally think SC2 will explode on release. I don't think we will have to wait for an expansion. Just my opinion, this is whole different beast then your typical RTS. | ||

Honestly, I don't see anyone beating a full rested Flash, with exception to when Flash decides "today I will pretend to be Fantasy!" | ||

A lot of you seem to be forgetting this. Also, money speaks. Players will go where the money is, and that will be SC2. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + - You have to play GomTV Classic very soon. ▲ I have so many things I want to say to Iris. There is the playoffs and yet, he practiced alone for the GomTV Classic (laugh). But still, it was the day before the match so I am slightly disappointed that he didn't focus completely on the Proleague (laugh). I was worried whether he might lose, so I am very thankful that he won his match today. | ||

Flash has probably been thinking about a finals against Effort for the past week (he basically insinuated as much in his interview) and doesn't have to do anything right now. Effort on the other hand has been extremely busy. This is literally the first time in TWELVE months that Flash has had anywhere near this amount of free time with no other obligations whatsoever to prepare for a series. I want him to have to play TvZ and to figure out how to win again, not ride a matchup (TvT) that was basically made for him given his strengths. It's not like Flash has no hope to step up his game again ... amazingly enough he is actually 18 months younger than Effort. | ||
