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. | ||

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... | ||

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 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. | ||

I guess he could thumb down match point, but... | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Unfortunately the Jaedong fanboys in this thread are incapable of accepting this. EDIT: Month clarification. 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. | ||

Unfortunately the Jaedong fanboys in this thread are incapable of accepting this. EDIT: Month clarification. 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". | ||
