The matter is Flash lost last month's games playing more or less his usual. It's not like he forgot stim (like JD's consume) or placed buildings in a epic-loss way (Fantasy!) or he cant macro properly (Leta!). He was beaten now where he was close to invincible before. So if he continues the same way he will probably be between those 45% and 75% winrates, meaning an average 60% (not the epic comeback some ppl expect). His lack of variability in his play also adds to the above conclusion. | ||

Here's why: back in the days of Etter being the king, Bisu sat on top for 6 power ranks (and another FakeSteve one). And here's the thing- he was complete and utter trash in proleague. I have VODs of him losing to ChRh and Boxer in absolutely depressing fashion, almost single handily causing MBC to lose the match. And this was the norm! And yet he was still on top of the pile. And you want to know why? Starleagues! No one had the potential to plow his way through the competition like Bisu, even if he was complete garbage in proleague. I'm not exactly sure at what point people started to put so much weight on proleague, but quite frankly Flash just won a MSL gold and an OSL silver, and Jaedong was not the reason he got the OSL silver- in fact, Jaedong just got 3-0ed by him. Yeah, okay, Flash lost to Effort in the MSL group stage. He's been kind of sketchy in proleague. But you know what? He just came off being in both finals back to back, and there's really no good reason to believe he won't do it again, aside from the fact that he'd have to be a freak to do it. But that's pretty much what he is. | ||

It was a birthday present! Plexa was giving Flash his birthday present a little early to congratulate the guy on turning 18! | ||

Last year he lost 2-0 to Samsung and was responsibly for KTF crashing out of Proleague playoffs, leading to jokes of him sucking once a year. Hopefully June was just him doing those celebrations a bit early this year. | ||

His team was responsible for them not making the playoffs because they played like garbage all year. I'll never understand why people think that Flash somehow caused his team to miss the playoffs. Nobody can 2-0 every single proleague match, and in the final tally a bad day in R5 counts exactly the same as a bad day in R1. How can people blame Flash when ****ing Luxury was on the team too? | ||

I was just correcting abit of Museon's analysis which I otherwise agree with. If you didn't phrase that as a question, I would almost say you were trying to perform backseat moderation. Just saying =) | ||

 And that means Flash has taken back his position as #1 ELO. Bisu is the first protoss to beat JD in more than a year (with the exception of Stork of course). He's back for real! Hope to see him high on the next PR! ^__^ | ||
