So Flash wasn't as untouchable as you make it look like (even though he was ofc inhumanly good  ). I'm well aware of the fact that he wasn't untouchable. In fact, if you take a trip back in time, you'll see that I argued heavily against the people who were insisting that Flash had "surpassed bonjwa" (which was obviously bullshit -- he hasn't made bonjwa yet). The reason why so many people thought JD would win is because JD had won every bo5 encounter with Flash up until that point. Up until then, the Flash-Jaedong rivalry had taken the bizarre turn that Flash would win if it was bo3 and JD would win if it was bo5. Nevertheless, Flash was the stronger player in May. Edit: Just because I know that some fanboy out there is going to get butt hurt, I'll say this very clearly: past results should always influence PR, but the further back in time, the less they matter. May is starting to get pretty far in the rear view mirror and it's starting to get to the point where Flash needs to offer up proof of his skill. He'll have chances to do that -- soon. Hold thy horses. Keep thy dogs leashed. Muzzle thine mouths. The time where the #1 will be decided shall come soon. | ||

It was tough to give Flash #1 this past month (Plexa has balls, Ill give him that), but now we're just robbing Jaedong of a well-deserved #1 spot. Even though the sample games are small but Junes and Julys games show that Jaedong has posted better results. The sample games are small only for Flash because his team felt it was necessary to withheld him from many PL games. Jaedong is still 9-2 this month and has 2 MSL matches against Kal (which he will surely win) and 1 OSL game. The same if for flash, so even if we assume both players will win all 3 games, Flash is still only 6-2 and JD is 12-2. The records not only speak for themselves, but Jaedong has won against better competition and has only one bad loss. Flash was crushed by both Effort and Light. In the end, Flash should NOT get another free month of leeway. We have enough games from the last two months to judge who is currently the better player, and that player is Jaedong. | ||

Jesus christ edit -- to clarify I'm disgusted at this notion of yours that Jaedong has automatically secure the #1 place despite neither him nor Flash finishing their games for this month. | ||

Uh, of course if JD drops MSL or OSL he should not be #1. I never suggested such a thing and if you actually read my post you would see that if both players advance, Jaedong is quite clearly the player more deserving. edit: I even said I think Flash will win his games in my post and yet you automatically mark me as a Jaedong fanboy. Does it keep you up at night of the mere thought that maybe, just maybe, Flash is not currently the best player? | ||

I've dealt with Flash not being the best player for 2 years, I can handle people asserting he isn't for one month. The post was dumb though. | ||

I don't give a shit what you're a fanboy of, the post was just ridiculous. It wasn't just "If they both advance" -- that'd be fine, you said Jaedong definitely will and once he does he's #1. There's no ifs in that conclusion, you're set in your ways. I've dealt with Flash not being the best player for 2 years, I can handle people asserting he isn't for one month. The post was dumb though. This vitriolic behavior is completely unneeded. You don't have to lash out at anyone who disagrees with you and label their post as "dumb," even though you completely misread my part of saying I think Flash will easily win his games too. The post was only ridiculous to you because I think JD deserves #1 over Flash (if they both win their games). And YES I would be "set in my ways" if JD finished 12-2 and Flash 6-2. There is NO reasonable argument for putting Flash above JD if that happens. | ||

also, 12-2 and 6-2, sounds like Jaedong just got to play in proleague more? And yeah there would be a reasonable argument, that's what I'm saying, even if you disagree and think it should be purely statistical. Like I said, if Jaedong plays like complete garbage and still wins, and Flash plays like a masterclass player and still wins, then there is reasonable debate. Or even if Jaedong plays alright and Flash does what Plexa expects him to -- show that he is the Flash we've come to know over this past year. There's plenty of reasons that aren't yours and the lack of brevity in your assumptions is like, well I once said I make it a habit to bash my face into any brick wall I meet. | ||

Whoa, relax there; that was pretty uncalled for. SuperArc is at least respectful (and imo his posting is getting better), there's no reason why you shouldn't be. | ||

Even though the sample games are small but Junes and Julys games show that Jaedong has posted better results. Hold on a second. For new readers, we're not arguing that because of games 3 months ago any player should be #1 or #2.... To clarify: The debate started with a statement that Jaedong should be #1 because he's been playing better lately, and someone said that he's been playing better than flash for 3 months. So we started a discussion about that. Feel free to post your oppinion but stop assuming things without knowing where the discussion started. | ||
