As far as skill is concerned, Flash is way ahead of Boxer in every aspect of the game except for creativity. Prime boxer would take at most 2 games out of 10 from Flash. | ||

They think Flash has good mechanics Well, it's good but not that great. JD and Bisu has the top mechanical skill. In game sense though, Flash is .. GOD. Seriously, those who talk about flash wont make it with the 'greats' of SC2 is just either a blind fanboy or just clueless as to what Flash is. The only problem with flash and sc2 though is that, he knew BW was his thing. That's why he excelled in it. He knew it was his calling. He was destined to be GREAT. And this is coming from a Anti-Flash Fanboy. | ||

No it doesn't play a fundamental role the players from now are just a lot better than the players 10 years ago. Just look at Jaedong he is nearing retirement age ( 24 I think? ) but still tearing it up. | ||

They can match him without problems? There is no one that can match, maybe JD can. ANd JD is much better than all three of them. | ||

At least definitely not for a few months when he first starts. SC2 isn't a game you can just pick up and play and beat everyone based on your BW instincts, as some other legends have shown. People like Nada and July have basically had to relearn the game from scratch, because it is a new game. It took a lot of work for them to even get to the same level as most of the other pros. I can see Flash getting there a bit faster though. flash will get there *a lot* faster. tvt isn't really much different how is marine-tank based tvz that much different than bw other than timings due to new units/lack of bw units tvp is probably what he has to learn | ||

However, Flash would still dominate (after a short period of time) if he ever switched over (pray to god he doesnt) just because his work ethic and genius level understanding of rts would put him at a supreme advantage. | ||

First they all played terran in bw and agree or not terran held more then 50% of all tournaments win in bw + more then half of the most important titles ( golden mouse,Bonjwa.. etc ).In starcraft 2 all 3 races got the same 'felling" as BW ( more or less ) but are way better balanced and terran is argueably not the best race in all match-ups atm. Other then that SC2 focused way less on micro and having 500 + apm and much more on macro and having inovateive ways of handling things. | ||

So even without perfection, best still exists. Im neither saying mc is the best or that he's not. Merely your intelligence is limited. | ||

Morrow played Terran and now he plays z too Cloud P -> T Goody P -> T Rainbow P -> T Incontrol Z -> P etc... JD would still play Z imo. Flash would be either T or Z. Anyway they will still play bw for a long time i think :p | ||
