You mean it's a terrible result for you since you like watching T?
Which you're perfectly entitled to think, but don't mix it up with the scene as a whole.
terran matchups are more fun, pvz is and has always been god awful zvz can be decent and pvp is just as crap as pvz

I didn't and I love it.
really? i don't know why cause i don't understand it.
don't get me wrong, i don't mind them at all, they are good players. but that magic aura just isn't there. Flash plays like a slightly worse clone of MKP when he was at his best (which still makes him really fucking good) and Jaedong is some decent zerg player that can probably hang in Code A. but what makes them so special? i don't know because i never saw them in BW.
Well then maybe you should educate yourself so you don't make yourself look like a fool.
So he's a fool for not following BW?
That's a decent if a bit understating evaluation of both players. JD hasn't shown the consistency to be in Code S for an extended period of time, while Flash is great but lacks that final stretch to get to the top level.
If you add that to the fact that he didn't watch BW, it's a pretty logical thing that he isn't too excited about JD and Flash, it's normal, and you should tone your response down.

What are you saying?!
Flash plays waaaay better then MKP.
Top form MKP on sc2 ? Not yet. Not even close. And i am including macro. But to each their own.
He says plays, implying present, not past. Otherwise yeah, he's not there quite yet.
Yeah, but the quote he was answering refer to MKP when was at his best.

well based on the fact that you refer to flash at his best as a "slightly worse clone of MKP" kind of says it all. flash plays like flash. he does his best and in sc2, it has often times proven to be pretty effective.
after about a year of televised games, flash has gotten himself into the ro16 in code S. if you don't quite "get" it, i suggest you catch group B of code s ro16 and we will all find out whether the hype has merit or not; 2 esF giants and 2 kespa giants are gonna duke it out in 5 bo3's man, could possibly click for you
i meant to say Flash is a slightly worse version of MKP when MKP was at his best. sorry if you misunderstood that. also, refer to my previous post for some more insight. i understand what they have done in BW, and it is very impressive. but i never witnessed it, so to me they are just two dudes that entered the sc2 scene like a year ago and i look at them the same way i look at all the other players that have entered the scene.
JD got crushed by his own fans basiccally. Zergs allways whining about everything, so blizzard gave zergs anti-apm units like swarmhosts... man.. what a bummer!

I agree.. flash looks like the best terran allready! He still looses but only with cheese/bust.. macro i guess it's almost impossible now

Not even close to MKP's macro? Flash has better macro than pretty much every Terran that has played SC2.

Finnish accent is my #1 ugliest English accent in the world by a landslide. Working hard to remove mine since 10 years ago.
There is nothing quite like a heavy swedish accent if you want to sound like a drooling mongoloid when speaking english. On a sidenote, my friend's fiance is british, and she told me I sounded scottish. Not sure what to make of that.
