Unless he invents a few new micro tricks (which he probably will), I don't see him being so absurdly dominant mechanics-wise like he was in BW, as the skill gap at the highest level really isn't that big, especially concerning mechanics. Mechanics you say? | ||

Time seems to work against foreigners. More foreigners were in GSL at the beginning than there are now. I believe we had Morrow, Jinro and Idra all in there at one time. | ||

I mean come on, hes a beast still. And hes ranked second in KeSpa above everyone except Flash. Anyone know anything about Jangbi and SC2? Sorry this may have been a little off topic but I'm just curious. | ||

Jangbi IS a BW legend, and plenty of people in the BW forums talk about him and are fans of him. He's just overshadowed by Flash, Jaedong, Bisu, etc. because he hasn't had AS much success as them overall. He's still one of the top players of the game, though. | ||

Mostly because Jangbi slumped for like 2 years. Like really badly slumped. He has had a resurgence within the last year though but I'm sure he lost many fans during his dry spell. | ||

That online article was wrong!" Why can't people think before they post? On topic though - the fact he is finding SC2 as a source to reinvigorate him scares me; i look forward to seeing his skill translate and dominate  | ||

I believe we had Morrow, Jinro and Idra all in there at one time. I don't remember Morrow ever being at the higher levels of GSL. Open season 3 was the first time Jinro made it through the qualifiers. That and Code S season 1 were the only seasons he and Idra shared, and I'm nearly positive I would have noticed if Morrow was in either of them. You are right that there were more foreigners. Artosis and Torch in the first open season. TLO in the first 2. Idra the first 3. Ret and Haypro the 3rd. Sen at least the 3rd. | ||

I believe we had Morrow, Jinro and Idra all in there at one time. Foreigners = really bad / inconsistent when they live outside of korea. Foreigners that live in korea full time = proven to be capable of code S (see Naniwa, HuK). players like IdrA play no-name scrubs all day on the NA ladder, meanwhile players like Naniwa and the korean pro's are playing code A / code S players all day in the korean GM league. therefore the "only hope" for foreigners is for more to step it up and live full-time in korea like Naniwa. this applies to Flash in a way as well. If he only practices SC2 with his BW teammates who are also new to sc2, he will never be as good as Parting / DRG/ MKP because in order to dominate right now you need to have teammates/ practice partners who are also top Code S level who are willing to share their secrets/ knowledge of the current metagame with you. | ||

LOL jk.. I quit BW before Flash was this superhuman. I"m old school with nada/yellow/boxer/reach/intotherainbow.... I doubt flash can dominate like he has BW. Different game. | ||
