Flash is consistently placing high and occasionally demolishing some of the best players in the world. He is definitely not just skating on past accomplishments. I think he also lost to heart, terminator and rogue recently. With notable wins over true and stardust. | ||

The hype can get too much because of his BW accomplishments but it's stupid to deny that he is finally a top player in SC2. | ||

I'm not saying that Flash is top of the world, but saying that he's only cruising by on past accomplishments right now is no longer valid. | ||

I'm not sure if he has improved a lot since the beginning of 2013 to be honest. (relative to others of course; everyone is getting better in absolutes) He has been a GSL top16 player all along. Like all the top16 GSL players he is a favorite when getting into a smaller tournament with either many players much below his level or just the tournament being small enough that you can just win based on a good daily form. Backing away from why he isn't the best player in the world, he is one of the best players in the world, capable of beating everybody and favored against most. | ||

And for some reason people still rate him high. Boggles the mind. And not only did he lose in the finals, he was out microed like a gold player. Parting met his marauders with his stalkers and raped MMMM without detection with just excellent micro. I fall asleep and didn't watch the games . . . but I saw result Flash 3-0 Taeja when people think it is madness to tink he will beat taeja. Even in finals it is 4-3 result, not 1 sided. I support Flash since 2009 and his result in BW , and even SC2 , is due to his hard work and his goal to work to become the best. Win my heart, totally. Plus , good looking . Plus Plus, nice voice. Stop boggles your mind. <3 Flash . | ||

Actually, people just have to browse Aligulac to see a more complete picture. Flash has hundreds of games in Sc2 in proleague that nobody "cares" about. If nothing else, he is a really really solid player that you can always count on. | ||

And even then he doesn't get as much respect as he should for that. Flash hasn't ever gotten to a GSL final, and has only won one foreign tournament. And yet people vote to see him in Hotsix cup. It just seems like he is skating on his past accomplishments and his fans are just mobbing the polls. soO is still the best zerg in the world . Life played great at Blizzcon , but over all soO had a stronger performance this year even if not winning anything . | ||

Backing away from why he isn't the best player in the world, he is one of the best players in the world, capable of beating everybody and favored against most. I don't think there has been a unanimous best player in the world for a while in SC2. At least not since MvP in WOL and Life and Innovation for a short period. The closest you can have in terms of consistency is soO but he isn't able to win in the finals . I feel Rain, Flash, Innovation, Taeja, soO, Life and Zest are all in the top tier at the moment but are capable of dropping games in certain matchups. I think Flash currently has the best TvT, one of the best late-game TvPs, and finally an improving TvZ. I'm hoping this is just the start of Flash in SC2, and he gets some more tournament results in the next year. | ||
