Flash is a demon in the body of a seventeen year old kid. Unstoppable. On the bright side he's pretty definitively staying at #1 unless Jaedong all kills next week and Flash loses his first match, which would even them up a bit (Well then Flash would be 7-2 in WL And Jaedong would be 10-5 so atleast a similar differential).

Guess who has a winning record against JD now? That's right; Storkuuuuu! <3 What an epic way of ending JD's ZvP streak.

And ya, Flash isn't human. All-killing SKT is impressive as hell, and all of a sudden he's around 80 ELO points above JD. :O He's also getting close to reaching his own TvP ELO record. It's awesome to see him beating S-class Tosses within like 10 minutes. Turtle Flash is no more! I can't wait to see how he does against Samsung. An all-kill there will be nearly impossible IMO.

But I like Turtle Flash... T.T

No, really I do. People don't understand how much skill there is in playing a defensive game. All they see is tanks not moving, and not the positioning they've been placed in. I love to watch players throw everything they've got against him and still come up short.

On the other hand, it's pretty fucking cool to see Flash dismantle people early on, too. Remember, he was cheddar before he was a turtle, and now his TvP has taken a slightly more aggressive Hiya/Forgg-like Timing push style.

I personally love both styles, I just think it's great that his TvP isn't one dimensional and predictable anymore.

I have to admit, a few months ago I didn't expect to see a 9 wins - 1 loss result in Flash's previous 10 TvP games on his TLPD page again.

I guess Flash's 'new management style' didn't pan out or isn't even needed, though.

Problem: Arbiters.
Solution: Win before arbiters even come out.

Flash's TvP is looking like his TvZ did a couple months ago --- people can't even last 15 minutes against him.

It's crazy how good he is right now... it's just crazy. Best TvT, best TvZ by a mile, and his TvP is goddamn ferocious.

Elo differentials says it all.

89 point above 2nd best TvT'er (Leta)
112 points above 2nd best TvZ'er (Sea)
84 points above 2nd best TvP'er (Fantasy)

He is the best Terran by miles. If you compare elo player by player the differences are even more impressive.

Speaking of elo, anyone find it pretty damned funny that Free is currently the #1 PvT Elo?

It's like he's been slowly accumulating it by winning 1 PvT every month or so and has quietly slid by Stork.

Holy shit, that's the thing I didn't see coming. But don't worry, everything will be in the right order again after Flash vs Samsung

I don't see how losing a PvT to Flash during his All Kill is gonna help. :3

Enough about Flash guys. Let's talk about Stork!

Yesterday he broke Jaedong's 15 win ZvP streak. The month before he broke Really's 11 win TvP streak. Stork has become the final boss of the Protoss!

+ Show Spoiler +

Out of the legendary "6 Dragons" only one remains roaring and breathing fire!

Yeah Stork is pretty beastly nowadays. Hopefully he keeps it up, I would really like to see him get another gold somewhere.
