After those two semifinals you'd think he'd come back with a vengeance, instead we get him not even making it past group stages. wtf | ||

Sea only 'cause it would've been awesome if he'd raped all the way to the top after connecting with the foreign community so well...): | ||

Sea is a dominant player with one of the best winrates in progaming and he has NEVER made it past the ro16. Flash is in a slump which is natural for any progamer. Sea is a complete mistery. Sea gets the vote easy. edit: haha I see it now. The reason why Flash has so many votes is because of his numerous fans expressing their emotions based on just his past few games.  if by past few you mean approx. 40, then yeah everyone means his past few games. no one expects sea to make it past the ro16 (not even steve expects it, he hopes. big difference). everyone expects flash to stomp everyones faces. sea is not making it past the ro16 and flash is not stomping anybodys face. what makes it worse is that flash is still capable of said face stomping, he just plays like a complete fucking idiot and refuses to adapt his game while everyone else has their perfectly tuned counters coming at him. what happened to the sheer brilliance against stork in the gom finals then osl finals? | ||

However Bisu, my party boy, always gives you those moments of brilliance and keeps fucking up badly time after time, so my vote goes to him. Don't disappoint today please. I skipped school (a 2 hour lecture of boring psyshocology but still) to be able to watch today's games live. - Fucking hyped I am, Yoda said. Regarding Flash? Please, didn't really anyone think he'd be figured out eventually doing the same stuff all the time? Fine, he's a monster, but in the same way ForGG was a monster when all he did was churning out units. Fine, I guess the same "figured out eventually" could be applied to Bisu's style vs Zerg a year ago - which finally was figured out and crushed by Jaedong, July (both Bluestorm though, Bisu's most hated map at the time) and fakeyellow among others. Thing is, he's adapted and doesn't throw in the heavy harass style so often anymore. He did it vs Odin on Andromeda (?) a few weeks ago, but I wouldn't say it's standard for him anymore. | ||

Flash is failing, but it's only the most of everyone if you're a crazed Flash fan and believe he's actually as good as Jaedong and deserves to win with risky economic or metal (vs zerg) builds every game. Don't get me wrong, his mechanics are top-notch. I just don't have high expectations for him because his choice of build orders is continually terrible. Yes, even when he wins a lot of the time. But really, the answer to this is Midas, and it has been for years now. Though, stork could realistically pass him if he fails to win anything yet again. And hell, if that happens we may even start forgetting about all those Yellow #2s too. | ||

Stork still has a shot, so it can't be him (at least this time around). Flash I would say is the biggest one. He looks good every game he plays, and you just can't quite put the finger on why he's losing a heck of a lot of games. It's not micro, it's not macro. He's just not playing at a transcendent level. The same argument goes with bisu. He hasn't been playing poorly, but he hasn't been playing well either. Luxury, Mind, and Much, are all in the same remaining boat of being right on the cusp of S-class (S-class in this case playing at a transcendent level). All of them have accomplished loads more than lots of other players, but they haven't blown anyone's brain yet with their play. | ||
