This is like Effort vs Flash finals a few years ago. Oh well, guess we need to wait a little while for Flash to be dominant (hopefully) and consistent in this game. | ||

And he made it to semis in 23 STRAIGHT grand slams. And time spent practicing can't be compare because you can't really practice tennis for 10 hours a day... Federer is like Boxer + NaDa + iloveoov + Flash... | ||

Cool styles by Last going between double starport -> bc's and pure ground compositions. Flash was stuck with raven viking most games which weren't particularly useful. yeah, i didn't know too much about him so i looked up his stats in tlpd and it looks like they mostly used him as a tvt sniper in proleague, with really bad tvp and tvz this makes him a very lucky fellow, getting matched up against flash of all people in the matchup that by far has the highest level of skill transference from sc1 to sc2 | ||

You don't have to worry about surprise or unexpected "attacks" in tennis (cheese rush, faked timing pushes). 2. In Starcraft, 1 fatal mistake can lose you the game. Lose 3 games, and you lose the finals of OSL, MSL. In tennis, you make 1 fatal mistake, you lose 1 point. Which is not necessarily insignificant, but plays a much much smaller individual role in tennis. The two would be a much more fair comparison if every match of Broodwar/SC2 was Bo35. Flash would win every series, every time (discounting other potential variables such as fatigue). But this isn't possible for obvious reasons. | ||

No, instead you have to worry about a big hitter getting hot on any given day. (see: Rosol - Nadal) 2. In tennis, 1 bad service game can lose you the set. Lose 3 sets, and you lose the finals of a Grand Slam. Hell, in a tiebreaker, one bad point can lose you the set. 1 point in tennis != 1 Starcraft game. Have you watched/played tennis? It's just completely different from Starcraft. The margins at the top for tennis is so ridiculously small, even if the top guys make it look really easy. You could maybe say that variance at the top level in tennis is less than in Starcraft, but that's about it... | ||

Dude, that random "Federer" guy has won 0 OSLs and 0 MSLs, and you dare compare him to Flash lol. This is a starcraft forum, noone care about stupid "Grand Slam" tournament that requires no micro and macro :D. Comeback when "Fererer" can get to C- on IccUP lol. | ||

Who cares if one is inherently "harder" than the other? It's the competition with others that makes a particular activity, whether it be StarCraft or Tennis, competitive. Just enjoy what you play and stop trying to compare difficulty levels.. | ||
