Apparently Bisu said on his Afreeca stream (source is some random poster on TL though) that SC2 progamer salaries dropped so much that it is more profitable to stream BW on Afreeca then being SC2 progamer. (Although, imo more likely is that HIS salary dropped so much and it is only more profitable for HIM (and few others, like JangBi and Sea) because they are what they are...) | ||

I honestly have watched every single one of his games and thought that his TVP has improved incredibly. Rock solid defense from harassment and better decision making in general. Everyone is stuck either too pissed/sad flash lost or hating to recognize it though  | ||

One of the better days of GSL in recent memory as a whole | ||

These guys must have never been to the BW forums, this is nothing in comparison to the old KT vs SKT fan wars. I've bathed in the waters of the Brood War forum and it made me into this. It's entirely expected for veterans. I'll put on my SKT tag for a few days in celebration of Parting's glorious victory over the KT infidel. | ||

It obviously never happened, and yeh. Maru> Flash. gg's | ||

I think i've been spoilt by how strict some threads in the general forums are (granted, those pertain to real world issues, but I'm sure SC is akin to that for some fans here LOL) | ||

Why not? For instance, why not one year from now with a more stable meta? | ||

I have to agree with that part. Cheering for a player is cool, cheering against somebody is ok, but celebrating someone's loss openly just sucks. People always think I'm joking when I say the dead sheep needs to be banned from TL, but I'm serious, an img to celebrate when a legend like Jaedong loses is not ok imo. This has nothing to do with this discussion or Dodgin, just wanted to throw that out there^^. | ||

Thats not my point. My point is that most flash fans aren't that extreme. Only a small group of extremist flash fans make a whole group of people backlash against flash/flash fans in general. If flash wins, people will always be like, "sooo good" "flash is awesome" "flash is god" but that's not what pisses people off. what pisses people off is when people correlate flash losing as "sc2 is dying" or "sc2 ez game" | ||
