 I considered mentioning the Flash curse, but ultimately it turned out to be a Jaedong curse  .. the mark of a champion is triumph against the odds (saviors run against Nada with an horrendous map pool, Bisu triumphing over Zerg etc) and Flash showed that he was a champ | ||

Such a beatiful line "Flash may not be iloveoov or Boxer, but he is taking Brood war in new directions – and for that – he gets my respect and admiration" This write up was so good. Thank you so much Plexa! Nice Images zxk3!!! | ||

He came back and won the fucking golden mouse. Nuff said. word. Nada is probably my favourite sc gamer ever and his golden mouse speaks for itself Great article! | ||

Yes Nada has awesome mental strength, no one is denying that - in fact the article praises Nada for his strength. As this was an article about the current state of starcraft, not the successes of Nada (and Boxer) i did omit some detail regarding both of them. Like Boxer's mother getting seriously ill during either Ever or So1 (my memory is failing me >.>) and how he rushed right out of the stadium after the semifinals to support her and ensure that she would be okay. The article is not about the past, its about the present and the role of the mental state. I hope you can understand why i left that bit out.In a talk about mental state, Plexa/Nony, you left out the part where NaDa's dad died, and he came back to win a Starleague as a result of it? o_O | ||

The article is more saying that it takes a certain mental state to dominate now, rather than just a superior skill set or superior strategy. Overcoming personal distractions is something that has been in progaming from the start. | ||

Otherwise INCREDIBLY well written article. I have a question though; Best defeated Flash, probably because of Flash's mindset. He was overconfident. What do you think will happen when they meet again in the OSL? Will his lost to Best be detrimental to him, or will he bounce back? And how could he make such a large mistake, if he wins simply through smart play/champion mindset? Edit: Just read that nony helped on this, good job m8. | ||

Also, what about Iris? He was definitely worth listing with FBH, Stork, and Hwasin among the list of post-Savior's fall wizards. | ||
