It is why he is the #1 player, to segway this into relevance. It's like saying why are the Lebron Cavaliers I mean Cleveland Cavaliers so good. | ||

Flash's game sense and in-game decision making isn't really copyable though. His greatest strength lies hidden deep within his splendiferous mind. | ||

I don’t think you can say that Flash has got better game sense than JD or Bisu had when they owned everyone. This is like when people say Flash is only a macro bot: don't conceptualize the game of the best players in the world! In the last MSL, JD opted to outsmart Flash in every game because he knew that micro and macro alone (on those maps) wouldn't cut it. These players just can't get copied. If anything Flash’s reigns of dominance in the past have been a lot shorter than those of Bisu and JD, which would suggest that his style is easier to copy or figure out (14 CC lol?). I remember when Bisu’s style simply was to scout the opponent early and then do whatever he needed to beat his game plan. | ||

Anyway, its hard to prepare for the OSL AND MSL finals, especially when you don't know if you're playing Kal (protoss) or Jaedong (zerg) until like a week before the finals. | ||

I at least expected him to steal a lot of Flash's energy. Poor Pure, getting no support. | ||

He can go back to doing what he does best; winning 41.18% of the time. | ||

I remember when Bisu’s style simply was to scout the opponent early and then do whatever he needed to beat his game plan. I think the big difference between the way Flash strategically dominates opponents and the way a typical progamer does, is that Flash is a very improvised player. He relies on his immediate game sense in the moment and very few players display the speed of reaction and the ability to adapt to changes in the game that he does. Two examples: Flash vs Mind on Othello and Flash vs Movie on HBR. There is no way to say for sure, but I would submit that his game sense is better than Jaedong or Bisu's. Jaedong sure did outprepare Flash in the MSL finals, but he didn't display any impressive in the moment decision making that led to his victory. | ||

Is it really that hard to position a unit in a certain location? The location doesn't change. Its like blaming Andromeda for bisus loss. | ||
