just wrong, the best was boxer


The most charismatic? yes... the best? not by a long shot.


i think if boxer is still 18-20 years old, he could beat flash, or match head to head with him easily

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.


As I recall, Nada and Boxer in particular made a pretty deep run in GSL not long after they had switched.

GSL back then still wasn't really developed to the point it is today (iirc no Code A) and was probably much easier to break into.

In a standard game, flash could pretty much outmacro boxer(at his prime) easily. Dont know about micro though.Though an interesting fact,Boxer beat a very young flash in their only(i think) match.

Except that FlaSh's micro is ridiculously good and he is famous for his ridiculous bio micro vs zerg.

Flash is 18 right now, and and already has more accomplishments than Boxer did in his entire career. 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.

One thing I realized when SC2 people talk about 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.

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

Well, we were talking about his mechanics relative to Old BW players and sc2 players, which is still extremely good.

lol all of the mu are significantly different then their bw counterparts. 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.
Why would I play sctoo when I can play BW?

I highly doubt Flash would do well in SC2, they would be on top no doubt about that but not nearly as good as the top 10-15 players right now imo.
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.
A good strategy means leaving your opponent room to make mistakes

oGs (P)MC the world's best StarCraft 2 player



quite debatable at this point.
he's def great
1)but he has flaws in his gameplay
2)and his mental mindset

(1+2 go together, compliments of each other. 2 effects 1)


Beeing the best doesnt mean beeing perfect.. does it ?



well when being claimed as the
"best"
you have to be a well rounded player
mechanically
physically
mentally

if you are lacking in one of those catagories
you will make mistakes(as we see MC do)
and not be able to reach the "best" spot

but games to volatile still to have the
"best"

theres def atleast 5-6 people in the running for that position


Even considering your horrible justification, best simply means better than all others. So even without perfection, best still exists. Im neither saying mc is the best or that he's not. Merely your intelligence is limited.

They can switch race

Idra played Terran and now he plays zerg.
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
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.
