For fuck's sake, you can't mock people for saying Flash is slumping when the only people who are saying Flash is slumping are saying it to mock these fictional people who are saying that Flash is slumping. | ||

There are alot of people who want to see nothing but their favourite win at all times, and since flash is winning right now its convienient to cheer for him right now, and the moment he starts losing they will stop cheering. It's evident in the livereport threads. Ofcourse some of the posts are sarcasm but as I said the livereport threads reek of it. Doesn't matter how well he plays for any period of time. As soon as he loses 3 games or more in a row, there will be alot of angry "fans". It's sad. | ||

For fuck's sake, you can't mock people for saying Flash is slumping when the only people who are saying Flash is slumping are saying it to mock these fictional people who are saying that Flash is slumping. Actually they're making fun of the people who in 2009 criticized Flash for not winning games that "matter", that is, not winning a league, when he was the #1 proleague player along with Jaedong and had a monster win rate. Remember when Flash was omitted from the power rank when he was "only" 6-2 for the month and winning GOM, just because his team was too awful to have made the playoffs? But yeah, the "slump" joke is kind of old. Haha did you see the Nal_rA oldboy episode: Coach Hery: Flash lost a game! Manager: Pack your bags, Flash!

There are also a lot of fans who enjoy being "better" than other fans, whatever the fuck that means. | ||

Just that his play today and yesterday was not convincing, he wont get dual finals with this. | ||

Just that his play today and yesterday was not convincing, he wont get dual finals with this. Only the game against Hyvaa looked bad. Against Midas, he was put at a huge early disadvantage due to the 14CC and failed counter. The rest of the game looked bad only because Flash didn't manage his usual miraculous comeback. This is nothing he'd lose a Bo3 or Bo5 over. His games against Hyun and Action were just the usual rapes. The only question mark is that he basically has to defeat Kal in the OSL now, and that could be tough. (Flash is likely to win, but the odds aren't hugely in his favor.) | ||

Are you saying that it's annoying that some flash fans aren't calling him names everytime he lose? That it's equally annoying that some flashfans dislikes the attitude off other flashfans? That there aren't any difference between "true fans" and "bandwagon fans"? Or was it simply a way to say that you think I said I'm one of those "better" fans? I'm confused. | ||

I'm pretty sure they were joking, since a lot of people start screaming slump once S-Class players drop games to scrubs. Those posts? they are endless so I'm not reffering to any in particular. As I mentioned, some of them are ironic. If flash had lost his game vs hyun we would see the result of it quite clearly. It seems as some misunderstand my words so I'll let it be :/ | ||

The notion that there is a "true" way and a "false" way to be a fan is the one I object to, unless you can show me someone who claims to cheer for Flash but actually wishes for his demise (???). | ||

rotfl. It's human to cheer for winner, we like to empathize with winners, because we like to win, and being afraid that the one we empathize with will loose, and overreacting if that person is about to loose is even better than nerdrage :D | ||

Seems like Flash is having the hardest time with TvT these days, I guess other Terrans are catching up to him, just like JvZ. | ||

The idea that you cheer for him even when he lost is not equal to wanting him to lose. I agree with draco and nurse aswell. As I said it's logical that people react that way, I myself just find it misfortunate that it has to be so. If I was the player I'd like to rely on my fans to support me in rough times and not just praise me when I'm winning only to throw me in the trashcan when I start losing... | ||

People just assume Flash will win every game so when he doesn't it's pretty shocking. Seems like Flash is having the hardest time with TvT these days, I guess other Terrans are catching up to him, just like JvZ. Well, according to his interview he didn't have much time to prepare. Also Midas in his interview said that he felt as if Flash haven't practised much for their game. I feel like Flash actually needs some break, that's all. Recently, he has been carrying his team a lot yet again... | ||

One bad round of like 4-7 and KT will lose their #1 spot. Losing playoff spot is practically impossible though. Long term wise I think Flash out of OSL would help him more than hurt. | ||

Well, I hope someone in KT will step and take a part of his burden so Flash doesn't have to worry about proleague that much. I mean Forgg is playing decent recenty so I hope he will be send a bit more and actually win some games. Same with Violet and Stats. If only KT had alternative ace (like violet in ro1) it would be ok. But WL showed how weak KT line-up has become. | ||
