Flash has said it comes down to wanting to be able to 100% adhere to his prep routine, which is impacted by his wrists. If he gets to the point where here decides it's never going to happen, he's going to suck it up for one last tournament and be done. He's also said that if the break between ASL19 and 20 were a normal duration, that he would have tried to get into ASL20. Iirc, ASL19 was delayed, so the gap between them was smaller than normal. Short of health setbacks, ASL 21 is a real possibility for him coming back.

Streams few times a week. grabs two single games from stream to upload as slightly edited meme games on youtube every day. get 150k-500k views per video. This alone is more money than playing and winning proleagues is. viewers also donate to decide on which meme build he has to do. | ||

Watching progamers shitting on low level players (probably A-B rank) repeatedly for many years yet they don't find it tiresome. At least if you can consistently do it on the ladder against 2500 mmr players, it'd be interesting because it shows your elite level. When opponent levels are low enough, it's not that difficult. You just have to build up a sufficient lead at the early game, then you're free to do whatever you want. I can do that to E rank players for example. | ||

He is too good for A / B players even if he is past his prime. It's like Magnus Carlsen played chess with mere mortals .. even if he gives away a pawn or two , or some moves , he will still win. | ||

You just have to build up a sufficient lead at the early game, then you're free to do whatever you want. I can do that to E rank players for example. It is called community interaction. There many funny ideas you can make. But i think it is not the same, surely their some games vs B and A players, but it is against Koreans with good internet and also against many S players, even pros. I have seen destroy him Rush and soma, offracing with weird wraith and muta builds. In zvt and tvz. Further the basic fundamentals the higher you go are harder to beat, the better the player is. You can be last or Flash, but to beat someone with lets say a mass scv + medic attack with no other units other than some marines to defend in one bunker is basicly impossible for last or flash vs playing vs a Korean S player or korean A player, than you doing the same to E player… It just isnt the same, it just isnt. Further Last actually cant play tournamenta anymore because of his health. Why shouldnt he use his gifts to entertain the people, his fans. And destroy the weird over serious auras that people put on their elitist perception. And grow the game for more casual people. | ||

This map pool is really bad for toss. In DPL, KCM & ASL toss is getting hosed. No map with over 50% for toss in either match up. Some maps in the 30s for both pvz and pvt. Good chance we get 0 toss in top 8 of asl this year. | ||
