Awesome read. You made a little mistake in the 'The Ultimate Weakness' section though: "He was by Jaedong in the GOMtv Classic" should read "He was defeated by Jaedong in the GOMtv Classic".
This signature is ruining eSports.

Great read. I'm sure it took a lot of time to write out. Thanks for doing it DH.

Can't wait for the Flash vs. Best games. Iloveoov and Boxer fighting Flash through Best.

Great read and article :D

I know I posted this in an LR thread recently but I think this belongs here more:

I would like to point out that no other player has been at a 70% win rate after 2 years and 10 months of playing pro games, the way Flash has. Not even Nada, who when I checked, thought would be the only player to do that. That's incredible because if anyone remembers that era, Nada was dominant for a long long long time. What a fucking monster Flash is

After 2 years and 10 months these players were:

Bisu - 103-73, 58.52%

Jaedong - 161-82, 66.26%

Savior - 56-37, 60.22%, but I also calculated it until he was beat by Bisu, too, as that's when his era ended, and simply the fact that he took a while before he started really beating people: 118-59, 66.67%

Iloveoov - 159-83, 65.70%

Nada - 185-89, 67.52%

Boxer - 151-84, 64.26%

Also I would like to point out that when Boxer, Nada, Savior and Iloveoov played, pro gamers played a lot less games and it was easier for those players to prepare for each game. Flash Bisu and Jaedong have to worry more about people sniping them when they're in all these leagues and playing all these games, because the people they play, play a lot less. Also the fact that a heavy schedule really wears down on you, I think Flash's achievements so far was far more incredible than Boxer or Nada's. ESPECIALLY if Flash wins both leagues at the same time.

Wow, a giant love letter to Flash. I don't particularly like/dislike Flash but I certainly can't stand the splooge fest occurring before he's even done the double crown this season.
I will eat you alive

If you can decode my secret marriage proposal to Flash that i hid in this article, you get a forum star.

Yeah, I mean, people who appreciate players who practiced their ass off and therefore putting on great games for the fans to see, on a site about Starcraft that covers the pro scene? Wow what fruitcakes.

Also we should definitely condemn people who actually contribute to this site hugely like DoctorHelvetica did by writing a great article.

It occurs only because he made, during last 3 months, other progamers look just silly. Just read the comments in the PR and you will see that everyone agrees that Flash is playing insanly well. The fact that people recognize that he plays awesome sc is nothing surprising, is it?

This article perfectly explains why, on those rare occasions that Flash loses, it just seems -wrong-.
