I mean, it took him years to get good with BW, and he was young when he started. A young mind can more easily learn thing than an adult mind. Either way I do look forward to seeing him at least play SC2. I dont think you understand. Flash is a demigod. He could play any game and still own noobs all day long. | ||

Besides; As a 19 year old, Flash is still young and has plenty of years left before his reactions, mechanics etc. start slowing down. I don't expect Flash to dominate from the get-go, but if he's having as much fun as the article suggests, then it is only a matter of time before he starts winning everything. His great mechanics coupled with his "map-hack" gamesense should be a winning formula in SC2, just as it has been in BW. | ||

And they still get pretty good results! It would be like saying "Hey Michael Jordan is the greatest basket ball player ever, he can most definitely win against anyone right now." Yes, Michael Jordan was the greatest but he is out of his prime. Now if you said "Lets take a time machine back to the mid 1990's and get Michael Jordan, then lets take him to the future and pit him against people." That would be a more accurate representation of taking someone at the very tip-top of their form. The main reason people are saying they will dominate is because they have proven themselves to be at the top of the most competitive video gaming scene in history. They have the drive, the work ethic, the practice environment, and the mentality to succeed at all costs. This is proven by their success. These traits are what assure dominance. Except Boxer, July, and Nada in their primes (magically brought to our present time via time machine) would still lose to Flash. They were revolutionary in their respective time periods and contributed hugely to the future of the game, but the competition is just way tougher now. | ||

That has a ridiculously high skill ceiling.... esp if you account for the part where you have to dribble and move around before shooting the ball into the basket while someone is trying to stop you. I don't think you could have come up with a worse example. | ||

While that Might be true, its a wierd discussion. Flash being the greatest BW player of all time doesnt change the fact that BW pros overall, and specifically BW pros who were on the rise as they made the switch to sc2, are the players that are having, and historically have had the greatest success in sc2. So the statement that having skill in BW doesnt translate to sc2 is just plain false... Flash is definately in his prime right now, and i am completely sure that this will carry over. | ||

It'll be interesting. I'm excited. Also, to everyone debating about skill, the real reason i like this article is that it shows that flash is TRYING to be good at the game. That goes a long way. See 14 year old maru, 16 year old leenock, xx years old marineking, they all just try their hearts out. | ||

He is now at his peak of his prime and established his name in BW and has earned so much money at just 19 years old. Now its time for him to dominate SC2. But i dunno whether it is a wise choice though. Money is a huge factor though. The salary which he earned now is WAY WAY MORE than he will earned in SC2 if he fully switch over. BW has been around forever and more established and SC2 is still fresh and new. Personally, I hope he will fully switch over but its highly unlikely i think. | ||

I don't think his salary will be affected at all since KeSPA and the KT team is switching aswell and he has his contract. | ||
