EPTWow, Hydra>Kal in ace, destroys classic in game 3. What's with CJ (well, hite now) Entus and wtfpwnage zergs? After MaJaeYoon went and...yea, Effort comes out and rapes ppl. Effort retires, no problem, Hydra suddenly pops up. I'm impressed :D

Expectations for Flash are too high imo but I guess he set the bar. | ||

Current results count the most, but backtracking a bit is good too just because there may be something relevant(like Flash 3-0 JD). PR should be the top 10 best players not the top 10 best records. Those are two very different things. Anyone can write the latter and only somebody who watches and understands every game can write the former. Sometimes the best player doesn't win and the PR has to account for that. | ||

Expectations for Flash are too high imo but I guess he set the bar. That's what I was thinking. Before Flash's reign of terror started it was quite common even for the best of the best to drop out of one league in exactly the same fashion that Flash did recently. Especially when they had a tough schedule. Imho, Flash is still the undisputed No.1 until someone beats him in a Bo5. One thing that's funny about Flash is that even though his TvT is statistically still his strongest matchup(although by a small margin) IF he loses to an inferior player, it's usually in a TvT. Anyways, go grab that 4th OSL kid. Who needs that golden badge anyways... | ||

Flash has been on the greatest run ever. Second greatest run isn't even CLOSE. (No, Savior fans, whatever vestigial contingent of you still exists. Savior is barely in the same picture.) Of course you want the streak of starleague finals to go on, but it has to end some time. It's completely unprecedented what Flash did, and he reached an apex with the double win last season. The chances of getting through that many rounds that many times is infinitesimal, but Flash did it. So, the streak ends, and Flash gets a little less work to do this season. | ||

And Savior won 80% (16-4) of his Proleague games in the 2006 season. CJ simply could not give Savior the support he needed. No team has ever made it to the top of Proleague on the back of just one player. Even Flash and JD, you'll notice that when KT and OZ failed to make it corresponds to when they don't have support. That particular criticism is not fair at all. Proleague is a team effort. | ||

His only match-up under 50% is ZvZ. His ZvP lifetime history isn't too great, but he debuted back when PvZ was strong. In 2010 he's 13-6 (68%) in ZvP. And he's 11-5 (69%) lifetime vs Terran with about half those games against strong opponents... He's actually kind of scary. | ||

I also share your fear for JD loosing his spot. After shine's been doing so well, i'm still surprsied to see him so high up lol, didn't expect fantasy to drop that low either. Glad to see Kal being up there, he is doing pretty S-Class lately after all. aaand, HYDRA FIGHTING. No big complaints, great post. thanks. Lol and half of these posts really are about flash being bownja huh, hahahah. and Yes Hydra is that good. | ||

Seriously, if you told me to recall games played by Hydra, I wouldn't be able to. This actually makes a lot of sense o.0 ...I can't think of any either. Wait he did 2-0 like BeSt and Stork or two Dragons last last MSL or something I can't remember? Whoa I was totally correct Hana Daetoo Ro32 Hydra > Stork and Hydra > BeSt. Coincidentally he used hydras! ...Hydra busts. | ||

The ELO gap between Fantasy, Stork, and Bisu is really small. Are we finally going to have TBLS top 4? | ||

I also think that part of the issue here is that sc2 players doesn't know the game as well as bw-players yet (ofcourse) so they really don't know how to handle the different aggressive openings yet. Most games are so short nowadays but I'm guessing they'll get longer and longer as the strategies develops. Bo5 is best for BW imo. Makes every game enough important to win while it still is enough games to get in mind games and usually to determine the better player. | ||
