I'm pretty sure he can't win the OSL, since he's not in it. MSL, though, that he can win. Wouldn't it be sexy if he won GOM and the MSL? I think so!

Mhmm

Iris fighting!

While Flash is undeniably a turtle-heavy player in TvP and TvZ, I think his TvT style isn't too far off the norm. He's definitely more of a defensive player still and you won't see him doing too many 8 Raxes or BBS but he knows when to whip out a 2 Fac or 2 Port pressure build (see the Fantasy game on Destination or the Leta game on Medusa).

All in all, if you don't like TvT you're not going to like Flash anyway, but if you've learned to appreciate the matchup, Flash is one of if not THE most entertaining TvT players. His decision making, raw precision, and beautiful Dropship play (see the Leta game on Destination, aka the "Recall" game) are just unbelievable. Check out his game against Skyhigh on Destination (a map on which Skyhigh had never lost on at the time) for what I consider to be near-perfect play in TvT.

And of course, the Leta game on Medusa and the FBH game on Medusa are two of the best TvT games in history.

If Flash can lose to ForGG in a bo5 back then, he can certainly lose to Iris in a bo5 now.
Iris 3-2 imo

ForGG was godly for a month, so that argument has no validity

Flash takes it 3-1 or maybe even 3-0. Flash is still the Ultimate Weapon of TvT.

I want to see this series goto game 5, but aggressive play isn't enough to beat Flash. Then again, maybe Flash will come up with some "genius plan" to 14cc every game. After Iris' recent games against Bisu, however, I'm starting to believe. I just want to see Iris vs Jaedong in the MSL finals...here's hoping all the players find time to practice for every tournament, otherwise there might be some flaky results. Flash is twiddling his thumbs right now so he is definitely the heavy favorite.
