So uhhh. for those of you who missed MLG Proleague (watched all of the VODS of Flash's play myself) - he's already godlike. Enjoy watching him stomp faces. His macro is so absurd, he's generally 20-30 supply up on everyone (partly due to flawless mechanics, also due to his ability to defend super fast expansions) - and his micro allows him to pressure opponents into complete passivity. Enjoy!

Anyone can look godlike when up against players leagues below them...

Let's not overhype Flash while he's just smashing white man face.

Actually I'm also referencing his games vs. Proleague players who are easily S+ Class themselves. Clearly you missed the games.

Proleague players are vastly overrated. Only a few of them have shown top-level skill on a consistent basis.

Yup more ignorance. The ones I'm talking about are the ones he played at MLG: Effort and Soo for example and they are some of the best players you will see from here on out.

The same Effort who overly relied on roach attacks and lost to Maru in the first round of Code A. Seems like you have a selective memory.

LOL? Great logic, a player plays a bad game or to and that makes them weak. I can't wait for more games of the Code S level Proleaguers to come out and change your opinion. I'm no Kespa fanboy (my favorite players are GSL like Leenock and Life) but the strong players from Kespa are every bit as good as anyone in the world right now: Flash, Hyvaa, Soo, Ty, Rain, Effort etc.

There are Code S Proleaguers but we don't know who they are since nobody (with the exception of Rain) has made a convincing case in Code S. Everyone else has looked weak when it came to the Up-and-Downs or standard Code S series. Undoubtedly Rain, Flash, and other players will reach that point but not as many as people think.

Soulkey made it through his group, and Roro just barely got eliminated. Meanwhile, Taeja, who people cited as a top 3 terran in the world, got knocked out 0-4. Anything can happen in such a small sample size. Give it a few seasons before judging too much.

Taeja was in a stacked group and played very poorly. Bad example

It's basically just some joking around to increase the hype a bit. Do you seriously believe he was serious about being able to "crush" Flash?

Of course not, but it was just... so... corny. Porn-grade acting at its finest.

I think this should be the real test of the question "Can Scarlett match Koreans?"
Bomber is not exactly Code S material because of his inconsistency, but on good days, he dominates everybody, while Scarlett is a scary player all-around for a foreigner.
