It isnt, beating super Flash in a bo5 on imba maps is.

With Power Outage's help...

Yup, it helped him gg 20 seconds earlier than he might actually have


When most the good players like Idra or Artosis around here say "he was at a disadvantage but definitely still in the game," how does that translate to him being on the absolute verge of GGing?

By them both being terran


You know, playing for one race doesn't automaticaly make you a retarded biased fanboy which lack any objectivity whatsoever. But that's probably too hard to imagine, right?

That's the only reason I could think of for such good players to be so wrong, but it appears that they didn't even say so in the first place and this guy was just making it up.


You did the same thing with Miracle (and Flash and Fantasy too I think) opinion about the maps. Dismiss player opinion just because they play one particular race is rather silly.

Oh that's a map balance thing, although I wasn't being too serious there. Still, when talking about map balance they all make it seem like the maps are worse for their race than they actually are. For example, I'm sure a Zerg player wouldn't say MP and FS are Z>T.

Flash, during his interview after beating Jaedong in OSL, pointed out how he thought Fighting Spirit was T favored and that he had to win it, otherwise he'd be in trouble because HBR was Z favored. You can most certainly expect some players to be truthful about how hard it is to play on a map.

So we have Flash saying FS is T favoured, but he didnt want to play twice on the map and Miracle is saying its Z>T.

I think we cant trust anything progamers say...

Well he didn't specifically say FS was T>Z, but he thought his chances were good on it.

Progamer interviews are always ambiguous. But yeah there's a little double standard on here. It could just be that MIRACLE is bad on the maps.

Flash thumbed down FS against Jaedong and Kwanro, and he 8raxed in both games - I don't think he likes the map very much

Also, at the beginning of last season, after he won against Kwanro in the proleague he said in the interview that he think FS is difficult for Terran against Zerg.

Flash really doesn't like HBR. I think he meant that FS is much more Terran friendly than HBR. But who knows. A lot might have been lost in the translations.

Well... when the rest of the map pool is like that, how much can you judge from that, though? I guess he could thumb down match point, but...

Thumbing down FS meant he thought Match Point was better for TvZ than it, but that doesn't really say everything.

I know. My point was that looking at the rest of the map pool, it doesn't mean much if he thumbs down Fighting Spirit, since with the other maps I'd just leave my thumb down unused since they are so good for T.

Nobody is questioning third game (except hard core Flash fans). Forth game was a joke. There's no way in hell Flash could play that at the top level after what happened few minutes earlier. But again, JD fans need to believe that it was a fair game, couse anything else would mean that JD actually won a Bo3 match.

No one will know why he always thumbs it down until he says so himself.

Just see July and what he thinks of himself and HBR. If July was in a boX zvp and thumbs downed HBR then everyone would be like omg wtf?? Flash and FS could just be a mental block. Who knows.

- You showed a good play in the final set
▲ I think I'm just bad on Heartbreak Ridge. I think I played okay on Byzantium 3. I think Heartbreak Ridge just doesn't fit me. All the other Zerg players seem to win on that map. I don't know why I lose even though I watch my replays.

The other three maps were more favorable to Terran than Fighting Spirit, it's natural that Flash would rather thumbs down Fighting Spirit.

This is the Power Rank not the BO5 Rank. Flash was clearly more powerful in January, playing in TWO Starleague finals. Unfortunately the Jaedong fanboys in this thread are incapable of accepting this.

Flash stated in his interview that Z was a hard race to play. There you have it from one of the best players to ever play the game.

Jaedong didn't just get over map imba. He got over race imba, hands imba (Flash has bigger hands. Also, Jaedong is forced to use only the 1-7 keys because of his small hands) and even playability imba. (Flash himself said Zerg is a hard race to play).

I have no beef with the power rankings. But the reasoning about impromptu BO5s does not hold water. The entire careers of pro-gamers revolves around maps and opponents. The only time one doesn't really know his opponents beforehand is the Winner's league where a winning player has to all-kill and he has no idea who's coming next. Every other league gives a player ample time to prepare. In my opinion, the impromptu comment doesn't hold water.

Movie is not that good against T. So winning over movie is not that impressive. Especially because this is not Flash's first final. If he's really better than the Dong, he should have won the MSL when it was in his favor. Even then I have no beef with the rankings thanks to the ridiculous play of Power Outage.

In a way if you look at it, this is the best possible outcome. Flash fanboys like you can claim he's better and Dong fanboys like me can claim that the Dong is clearly better.

There is a pretty simple argument to make.
Flash was in the OSL final thanks to good wins in PREVIOUS months.
THIS month Jaedong has a better win % and beat Flash in a Bo5.

Now you can argue that Flash still played at a higher overall level (I don't agree) but still you can't deny the validity of the argument as simply "fanboy".
