Really nice Battle-reports. Read them fully inspite of watching stream(which is something I dont do usually!)

Sorry Flash is NOT yet a Bonjwa, end of story. Dominating a year of Terran-favored maps(last year) is good but being Bonjwa means you transcend "maps" as a factor in your winning. To become the 5th Bonjwa(after Savior) he has to prove himself on unfavored maps too, like this years which seems quite Zerg favored so far....
As I have had occasion to say in the past:
A year of dominance does NOT a bonjwa make.

Now, with a mean of 7.75 and a standard deviation of around 1.48, Flash is still (barely) within the 95% range. While this doesn't really say anything in Starcraft, it still tells me enough that this isn't too weird, right?

Just...

Well... Flash is facing elimination in both leagues, having been knocked out of one with the other a very likely option. Losing a random Proleague game is far more trivial than losing an OSL/MSL game, not to even consider being knocked out of an individual league. Even if Paralyze beats Kal (that would be a feat in itself) and Flash manages to win the tiebreaker, that would still be... odd. It really all boils down to this though: Flash is out, and after a full year of winning pretty much everything, it seems that he's finally slowed down a bit.

Alright, I didn't want this to become very long-winded.


I fail to see how it's spelled wrong

I didn't ask to see a professional level demonstration of how to put your in foot in your mouth, but thank you for it nonetheless.

That's a pretty funny quote but I'd attribute that more to TvT than PvP.

wait what? at least you can see tanks, and vultures don't drop on your head!?

Dunno man, tanks and vultures dropping right on top of you are pretty bad. The only way terran could be worse is if they had some sort of random invisible thing that just randomly destroys your entire army. OH WAIT!

No I'm not serious.

If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.
