Every form of entertainment thrives off star power and Flash is the biggest active name, not the mention a really cool dude.
+ Show Spoiler [ BIG disclaimer] + I'm talking only SC2 here, not BW
I speak on my behalf but I'm sure others like me who wasn't around in the BW era will say that Flash (and his play) has nothing to hype for. He was never as dominant as Innovation who was nearly unbeatable and crushed everyone we called one of the best. His play is not as exciting as Maru's combat micro or Gumiho's crisis management. He will never nuke his own army or blind his opponent with scans like Bomber. He is just not the player that can cheese in the GSL finals decider game and go even more all-in after it fails.
I was not surprised when he finished group of death last or continued his ro16 struggle. He is a very solid terran who plays very safe and calculated build orders with perfect macro, but he just can't go beyond that. He can send a drop, pull the army, snipe a base, get out yea but can you really expect him to snipe 4 nexus in less than a minute? I don't believe he has that one critical edge at whatever element that makes a huge impact on the game play and makes the GSL winning difference.

I would have to completely disagree.
Love him or hate him flash has a huge presence and personality in and out of the game that is apparent the moment he enters.
It seems his success in BW has also been his burden in sc2. He has produced some extremely exciting games in sc2 against some of the best players and his overall win loss ratio has been consistent, but without any tournaments under his belt he will always fall far below the high expectations from fans and will continue to receive very harsh criticism.

He has a huge presence and personality if you're familiar with him from Brood War. For someone who doesn't have that background, he's basically aLive if everyone talked about how great aLive was all the time.

However, there was a pretty significant number of Kespa fans that predicted Code S would be 30/32 Kespa players in a few months. The peak of this came when Kespa players went on a big winning streak during the WCG qualifiers. A lot of eSF fans didn't appreciate our favorite players being called garbage and dish washers.
Why you gotta hide from the truth, alot of Kespa A-teamers were dishwashers, infact basically everyone Kespa was a dishwasher at one point, where as most of the eSF players never had to wash dishes because they have people who do it for them. They even talk about it in Nalra's oldboy. People only called people dishwashers because they literally were if they passed from the Kespa tradition, nobody used it as an insult, only as a joke. Players themselves got some mileage doing ceremonies and trash-talking each other based on it ffs. So I don't see how any informed observer can see that as an insult towards eSF, at best it can be construed as an insult towards former Kespa players who hopped over to SC2 instead of playing BW.

Just watched the games on youtube. I don't want to be mean, but maaaaaan Wolf and the other guy misjudge so many games I feel. Sorry for these words. I want to appreciate their work and effort, but especially regarding the Terran games (TY vs Super and both Flash games) I want to mute the commentary.

fair enough. I have yet to see the magic many speak of in some of the veteran sc2 players, but that is to be expected until i witness it for myself.

I don't mean the Kespa players themselves, for the pro players, it was banter/trashtalk. It was the Kespa fanboys' action on the board that eSF fans didn't appreciate. If you didn't think posters here used dishwashers as an insult, then I don't know what to say.
From your previous comments, either you weren't around much during that time or you just choose to ignore a lot of the more extreme comments (there was plenty of 'Flash will win GSLs'). I am just trying to explain why Flash is getting some of the backlash created by his 'fans'. Not saying that it is right since Flash didn't do anything, but just trying to explain the cause.

I don't really agree with this, there were moments towards the start of the year when his multi tasking and micro was fantastic, his match vs rain (on akilon from memory) where he dismantled rain through drops was impressive as hell, his tvz's back when 4m was still viable was amazing - being one of the very few terrans that could really pull off 21 3cc into parade push (that game vs choya hyvaa on newkirk was a fantastic display), him looking ready to win mlg before life activated god mode was a fantastic display.
If anything he hasn't just stagnated, he's gone backwards.

Flash won so many tournaments in Brood War after 10 years of metagame development. I wouldn't count him out so easily. This was a metagame that was very advanced, filled with tons of cheeses and timing attacks, and a scene full of one trick ponies who made their names doing wonky builds that people would die to even if they'd been preparing for weeks. Then there were the established gods of the game like Jaedong, Fantasy, Bisu, Stork, Jangbi, etc...
I will say that I'm dissapointed in Flash's lack of evolution, especially in TvP right now where all the other Terrans have been hitting timings, making new unit compositions, and even successfully cheesing (TY is such a boss!). However, the metagame is in a very unfortunate state for Flash at the moment. There isn't really a solid theory for how late game TvP is supposed to be played. It's not that Flash isn't capable of cheesing or doing timings or whatever, but that he is still searching for that perfect overall strategy that, when executed correctly, simply doesn't lose.
Contrary to a lot of people's opinions, I still see improvement in Flash's play. Flash has one of the most solid early games of any Terran player. In each of his matches he starts out with some fantastic metagaming, and again contrary to a lot of people's opinions: very creative, in-the-moment tactical plays. However going into the mid and late game Flash seems not have it mapped out very well. This is probably because the SC2 metagame is just evolving too quickly to develop a strong map of the later stages of the game. But I do think Flash's map of the early game is already pretty excellent.
We're still given slight glimpses at Flash's genius. He did lose to Super but he made a couple nice plays that I enjoyed to watch. First was his obnoxious oracle defense, and second was his fake retreat into doom drop onto Super's third base.
If there is any player that I have faith in to still be producing consistent results a year from now - it's Flash. As the SC2 metagame trends towards maturity, he will slowly rise through the ranks.
