Flash had this unbelievable score of 23-3 two times in the past. Both followed up by a loss.
This time he has exceeded it.
25-3 and going. Flash fighting

Aha, his next two matches are TvTs against Baby and MVP, too. He's gonna break his personal winstreak record, and, amusingly, he's gonna beat Iloveoov's record in TvZ (27-3), but with games from all matchups.

oov had a 29-3 streak though, if counting all matchups (33-3 if counting prelims). But of course that might not actually be true since some games are missing from the TLPD.

I don't consider 29-3 a streak. It's merely a good statistic.

Flash's 22-0 against Terran is a streak.

Well that's just semantics.

Man, I was just checking out TLPD, and Flash has since his reign of dominance started (at the start of this PL season) lost 6 games that mattered (not counting losses in BoX's that he won, in group stages from which he advanced or PL losses that he didn't repair by winning the ace match himself). And that is during a span of almost 100 games. Sick.

With his 12 game winstreak, Flash is almost 200 points above the #2 ELO Jaedong. It's starting to get silly....
Anyway, I wonder if the fact that Flash has played so many TvT recently is good or bad for him. It allows MVP and Baby to studdy his style alot more. Also it seems like Flash loses alot of units to mines lately lol.

Both Lomo and Baby survived really long because of mines getting 4+ tank kills..

Silly Flash, he always needs to overcompensate. A two-game losing streak at the beginning of the month, and now he has to go on a winning streak at least twice as long as usual before he's content.

I wonder if the starport openings in his games on Polaris Rhapsody were his choice primarily because they're good on this map, or mostly to mess with MVP and Baby. Flash is more dangerous than ever when he's unpredictable.

Q: In both MSL and OSL, you played TvT’s.
A: Since it was the same matchup, it was easier to practice for, but there is the aspect of my opponents being able to see my play on air…

It's definitely a negative thing to play as many televised games as Flash does IMO. I think that aspect affected the MSL finals against JD a lot; in the month that passed between their OSL series (where Flash crushed JD and outsmarted him in both games) and the MSL final (where JD was the one taking the initiative and doing clever stuff) Flash played 14 TvZ's (including 2 Bo5's) whereas JD played 1 single ZvT. JD most certainly got a strong advantage by being able to analyze how Flash was playing while keeping his own strategies in the dark. The build Flash did on FS in Game 4 for example was the same build he did against Calm just days before in an ace match. =/ Or the game on Ultimatum; I remember that Flash delayed Zero's third quite a while in their game on Ultimatum. What did JD do? Designed a build that countered that type of aggression by making a fuckton of sunkens while taking 2 island expos (and Flash did indeed go 4 Rax if I remember correctly). JD had a much easier time preparing adequately.

Not that MVP will be a threat to Flash anyway; he could use ''Black sheep wall'' and I would still bet my money on Flash.

What is silly, is the fact that people still compare other players to Flash and then they claim they play poorly. I mean, everyone looks bad compared to 85% of won games. Even if you keep a healthy 60% record...

But I am a bit worried for Flash. His amazing and all but he plays shitloads of games these days with no time to rest and apparently is taking some school(?) exams or whatever. That's a damn tough schedule...

Sigh...looks like theres a 100% chance of a Flash #1 in May.

And it also looks like Kwanro will be scraping his way back on it yet again lol.

Kwanro? How come, he's out of both leagues and his play in PL hasn't been anything special.

You are acting so surprised for some reason. Who else is even close to his lvl of play?

pity Snow didn't play today, if he had defeated another team's ace player (free, Kwanro or Zero) he would have deserved a CBNC spot.

see my post here... I counted m18m's win though, since flash couldn't win the WL ace match
