Again, it's not about how the game was played, it's about if you won or not. Flash said 50-60 games, not 50-60 long macro games. Whether its an early proxy rush, a timing attack, or a strategy cheese, what matters is the win.

Why do young guys need 8 hours sleep anyway? 6 hours are plenty.

Guys, are you really sitting there and arguing about this?
Do you think Flash took out a notepad and counted how many games he played?
He said "50-60" as a random average number to mean "a shit ton".
Can we move on now?

Flash my boy! Well done! :D
In the bw days, kespa pros did not play on ladder, they just played internally against other pros. They had practice partners both in the A team and the B team and sometimes from other pro teams. This meant that they did not waste time playing amateurs and made sure that almost every game was meaningful. I think they continue this tradition for sc2 but correct me if I'm wrong.

He has coaches to count matches, and then tell him. They probably do that for every players anyway.

50-60 games..maybe 30 games on cheesing, kill you opponent in 10min or less. Flash did started out as a great cheeser. An average game is about 18 game minutes (source: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=240774) which is about 13 real minutes. 60 games * 13 minutes = 13 hours, which isn't unreasonable for a BW pro. And flash probably wins faster in practice. even still you still need to search for games, eat, gym, bathroom, etc. and the KR ladder isn't always teeming with games, especially high GM from about morning to early afternoon. unless the games are 100% inhouse, it's really really hard to pull off. 16 hours practice with 1 hour eating, that's 15 hours. Constant playing for 15 hours guarantees more than 60 games. And he probably slept less than 8 hours the day before official matches anyway, that will give him probably close to 18 hours the day before. Even 4 hours sleep is not a surprise. constantly playing for 15 hours at ~20 minute average games is about 45 games, not sixty i guess. 40-45 games i think is a realistic number, not the 60 that is quoted. maybe sometimes on certain days he reaches 60, but i expect more like 40 games per day.
20 min avg? That's an average of almost 30 in game minutes. Those are long games. Also, he said 50-60. There's a range. With some games being cheese and some being long macro, it's possible.
I don't know why it needs to be argued. It's obvious he's probably putting in 12 or more hours every day. If he keeps doing that he will eventually beat everyone.

I think the inhouse practice in BW was both cuz of proleague and also the fact that BW was played on LAN so inhouse practice on lan was just the way to go. I would guess the played most likely only ladder for a loooooooong time with the sc2 switch but by now they probably practice inhouse again because of Proleague. Also because they are pretty good at this game by now so they don't need the ladder to learn the game anymore.

yeah i remember rain saying he was so far ahead of everyone else in SKT for a long time that he only had ladder to practice, but the BW players are probably good enough now

Yea, I think people are confusing Blizzard minutes with real minutes lol.
2/2 200/200 3 base marine tank timing hits z at 15:00 Blizzard time.
High multitasking TvP's can easily end by 13:00.

What an awful mindset. Name any endeavor where practice consists of only the 'peak' ideal performance repeated over and over to completion every time. Your assertion is akin to an athletic team practicing by doing nothing but scrimming full games over and over against the same team with no changes in strategy(ok maybe slight changes, since you will face at least 3 different matchups, but still only 'full macro game, no BO counter or cheese wins.')
I don't want to say there is no endeavor in life that could be done successfully with that attitude, but if there are some they are certainly very few in number.

I dont like how people think Stephano is better than zergs such as Leenock, ViOlet, DRG and Life. you know how much stephano trained in is whole carrier? it equals maybe 3 month training of those you mentioned just let him sit one month in korea and see ah yes, the good ol' stephano is so talented he only has trained for 3 months bullshit I really can`t stand this kind of shit TT those fanboys are so sad. what's worse, flash fanboys, stephano fanboys or EG-TL fanboys!? + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://www.fomos.kr/board/photo/1226749370_1.jpg)

Sorry, that's one single result. Stephano took down 4 GSL Champions at Korea vs the World. Either way, using such a small sample of games to reach a conclusion like that is silly.

BW Flash fans need to channel more of their energy into being elitist about following Flash for longer than SC2 flash fans

I don't understand why you defend someone who doesn't practice at all, okay maybe he's more talented than Revival but he's not showing it because he doesn't care enough to play the game. He flopped out of every tournament since lone star clash. the korea vs the world was the only impressive thing he's done since WCS EU.

Why are you arguing?
1) People here know what flash does in his practice. Flash doesnt.
2) People here know better how to practice to be a top player. Flash doesnt.
