I doubt SC2 TvP and TvZ really reward Flash's turtling playstyle. Flash should play SC2 protoss so he can turtle til he has 3-3 voidray colossi or something | ||

So what made / makes Flash, Bisu, Jaedong and whoever is one of the best in BW the best? Brutal mechanics? Sharp decision-making? And how will it be transferable to SC2? Honest question here. | ||

They win everything! But yea to address your question, they have great mechanics but that necessarily isn't the sole reason for their dominance because every SC1 pro nowadays have jaw-dropping mechanics. As always, decision making is what separate the men from the boys.. | ||

Watch some of their games , bisu vs flash vs jaedong and u will start to notice. Still what made them so brilliant and brings so hype is the fact that they have been playing for years , they brain developed for rts, and with a really hardchore and hard one which happens to be SCII predecesor. | ||

Being a top 3 zerg (next to JD and Soulkey) and the last MSL finalist is far from mediocre. He's definitely one of the most creative and innovative zergs with hive play ZvZ and effecitvely utilizing mass queens in every matchup. MVP also hyped up Zero before so I'm excited. Don't know why people still know Flash as the turtle terran when he is easily one of the most aggressive terrans ever. The reason he is called god is because he can do whatever he wants, whether turtling or hitting a crazy early timing push, and still win. | ||

So what made / makes Flash, Bisu, Jaedong and whoever is one of the best in BW the best? Brutal mechanics? Sharp decision-making? And how will it be transferable to SC2? Honest question here. When Flash entered the scene he was notorious for cheesing and doing hardcore turtling TvP builds. But he stopped doing that and started to become godly in 2010 Flash is best known for his game sense and decision making. Definitions of "good mechanics" is subjective, some might say having faster handspeed is "good mechanics" whilst some say that having effective APM is "good mechanics" as well. As for handspeed, Flash is not the fastest, but FAST ENOUGH to macro efficiently. Flash is the greatest macro player in the world not because he spams unit production the fastest, but his understanding of the economy/resource distribution is second to none. I strongly recommend you to watch Flash vs MVP series in Hana Daetoo MSL ro8, to fully understand Flash's difference from the best SC2 Terran. MVP's mechanics were up to par if not faster than Flash's, but Flash's decision making was way superior than those of MVP's. People always stereotype BW pros of being better because "they are faster". Everyone have good mechanics in BW, what makes Flash / Jaedong / Bisu / Stork the best is their unparalleled strategic / tactical/ decision making and understanding. | ||

Alot of ppl stooped following BW after that. | ||

Honest question here. their ability to micro 2-3 different areas while macroing flawlessly. this is an insane game bisu vs jaedong showing a first person view of bisu playing. | ||

Make that a year before SC2 came out (in 2010) and you would've been right. Late 2009, he changed his style a lot and its funny how people comment on styles when they probably haven't seen more than 10 BW progames in their life. | ||

Standard response to 2 hatch lurker: OH SHI-, 2 bunkers, ebay, turrets, save scans and range upgrade or siege mode. Flash's response: I AIN'T AFRAID OF NO LURKERS!!!

I don't call that mediocre Zero only really has close to S-class TvZ, and he was completely outclassed by Flash who was on painkillers at the time and didn't even bother to use vessels. | ||
