Also it is easy to say Flash is running out of gas but in the reality he's been playing incredible amount of games and don't have enough time to properly prepare for all of them while his opponents have ample time (like his game vs Midas in MSL). This really should be taken into account. And despite that Flash has a sick winning percentage... | ||

And since JD is obviously better than Kal, Kal gets #3. Who below the top 2 has a better chance of stopping the big guy? I don't think that should matter. Nobody in the left in the OSL has a good shot at Flash including Kal. Records vs Flash: Effort: 1-6 Pure: 0-3 Kal: 1-5 I think Kal is the most consistent Protoss out there right now, but he's in #3 because all the other contenders for the #3 spot have something they have to prove. Kal doesn't. And for the record, I know that somebody's going to say "nobody has a good shot at Flash," but there are a few who I think have a chance to take our prospective bonjwa in a bo3 or bo5, starting with Leta, SkyHigh, Stork, Jaedong and Zero, but Leta and SkyHigh are one match wonders, Stork isn't looking his best ever, and Zero was knocked out of OSL by Effort. This season, everything is in Flash's favor to take home the double. His form is at the top of his game and most of the people who could cause a problem have been eliminated. I'm expecting at least one gold. | ||

Effort: 1-6 Pure: 0-3 Kal: 1-5 to be fair, Kal has played very good games against Flash, his record doesn't reflect it but I think we could see a 3-2 either way if Kal somehow beats Effort | ||

I'm expecting at least one gold. I think Pure has the best shot, Flash one day to prepare for Pure, not to mention it's a TvP Bo5 set. When Flash isn't properly prepared, he has shown to be really sloppy (see games against Midas and MVP). So basically Flash has six days to prepare for MVP and one day to prepare for Pure. As a Flash fan, I do hope he beats Pure. | ||

Nobody forces you to participate in debate about writings or prohibits you from discussing ranking. You are not alone here. No need to be so prickly; I'm just trying to preserve the integrity of the stereotypical "flash fan". The reality is that Flash's TvT does not have the same aura of invincibility as it did 5 months ago. He is playing sloppy and games are closer than they should be. He's still winning a ton, but often very very narrowly. His TvZ is still rock solid and TvP is much improved since then, but he has been playing mostly TvT lately. | ||

In fact, right now he's probably the most consistently strong PvTer of anybody (though that's not to say he's "strongest"). The problem is that he doesn't have that extra little bit he needs to have an advantage against Flash. Same with Free (which applies to MSL). In fact, the same could maybe be said about Effort. An in-form Effort (assuming he is...) means monstrously powerful ZvT, but it's never quite enough to overcome Flash. When you play someone like Flash who is astoundingly strong in every aspect of the game, it's that extra little bit that matters. With Starcraft as well understood as it is today, that's more true than ever. | ||
