I absolutely love Kwark's analysis. I absolutely hate Riptide's single minded view of the most aggressive player in broodwar by calling him boring -- and that's when I realized he's a REALLY good troll.

I've got nothing.


Flash's success is primarily due to him making fifty bajillion timing attacks. It's like people haven't realized that 80% of his games are him doing a timing push or something. He had a short stint in late 08 to early 09 where all he would do was turtle and it didn't work as much as he wanted, and has since over the past 2 years been incredibly aggressive. I might should clarify by saying he's the most aggressive terran around, and one of the most aggressive gamers overall (You might chalk Bisu up to being more aggressive since he gets to play pvp instead of tvt, etc).

Basically you'd have to have not watched Flash play TvZ and TvP for the past couple of years to think he's a turtle.


"Aggressive" is a mindset. It's the idea that you always pressure your opponent to keep him in a defensive stance. To keep him off keel. To keep him in a reactionary state because it's much harder to defend than to attack.

This is not Flash's normal mindset. And if you watch BW in general instead of just Flash games, you'd see these things. In fact, Flash's style is generally a defensive/counterattack style.

Obviously he uses timing attack. You know what? So does 100% of other professional BW players. The whole game rely heavily on timing. The reason why Flash succeeds in his attacks in manners other terrans fail isn't because he's more aggressive. It's because he's better. Similar to how an iccup A player can do the same stuff a B player can do and win more because he's simply a superior player.

The moment finally came, and the Terran tank line came to life and pushed forwards


Really liked this line Kwark ^

As much as I like Flash, I like seeing him lose even more ;p

Do you remember when this guy was a cheesy KT newbie who could only do <a href="http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/korean/games/10263_BoxeR_vs_Flash/vod">dumb stuff like this</a>?

Not many of you do, but the player he evolved into over time makes me almost wish he stayed that way. Flash, in essence, killed Broodwar. No, I'm not talking about <a href="http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=258396#1">conspiracy theories</a>. Flash destroyed Broodwar with the 14cc/1rax FE. This is not to say that he pioneered those builds. Oh, no, nothing as ground breaking as that. He just used them <strike>ad infinitum</strike> ad nauseam, and in the process squeezed any semblance of beauty, creativity and grace from all Terran matchups.



That's exactly what separates Flash from the other bonjwas. Bonjwa isn't a cold-hearted term which stands for dominance, it's something that comes as much from the heart as it comes from the brain.

Boxer took a boring defensive race and made it dynamic, aggressive, innovative, beautiful. Some might say he is responsible for the birth of competitive Starcraft. Flash took a boring defensive race and made it more boring, more defensive and more predictable. Some might say he is responsible for the downfall of competitive Starcraft.


I went and watched the Flash games, and it did a very good job of reminding me why I liked BW better before he rose to dominance </hipster>. If you plant your wheat seeds at the start of a Flash game, you can have a sandwich for when he moves out.

So, yeah, JangBi earned a fan. Anyone who beats Flash is saving BW. Even if they beat Flash at something else.

JangBi, you’ve shattered everyone’s expectations by getting this far at all, but the hardest part of your journey is yet ahead of you (Editor’s note: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA).

So brilliant. ^^ Thanks for another nice news post.

Not everyone's enjoyment of the BW scene directly lines up with the date they joined, though. :|

JANGBI. FUCK. YES. Please make me wrong in my complete and utter loss of hope for you, please. I've not wanted to be wrong more in a LONG time.
