"I am saying that there are 300 current pros and semi-pros that have the potential to come in and dominate SC2 at any moment, with a latency of a few months from the day they switch." read it for the giggles guys  ))) http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=221896and i'm sorry, but that really wasn't impressive at all. flash is supposed to CRUSH faces, cause SC2 is so easy and all that jazz  I guess its okay to laugh right now; it won't take too long before you start crying. | ||

Flash is playing real sick TvT in this video for his sc2 time(actually he's playing sick TvT period), did you even see the video? | ||

I guess i shouldn't expect him rolling out the mech builds so early . I am more interested in BW zerg progamers FPVods since zerg's gameplay in BW is the most similar to SC2's . You are joking right? How about injection management? Got that too back in BW? | ||

Even if they did, none of them could boast code S status... surely? I mean lets face it, none of the ex-BW pros have won a GSL after all, eh? Flash has been practicing sc2 for a month, part-time. Not even full-time. And he is a top masters facing GMs. You mention something about someone trying to brainwash you about BW, but are you sure theres anything to wash? Now how bout you let everyone enjoy your absence... forever. ok? ;-) On May 12 2012 02:37 Roman666 wrote: You are joking right? How about injection management? Got that too back in BW? He didnt say its EXACTLY the same, he just said Zerg has the least differences in gameplay between the two games. Chill. | ||

It has barely been a month. And the players still need to juggle practices with BW. Flash, in particular, is coming off a wrist injury. We will see in few months (more than 3-4 months but less than a year) whether intrigue was right or not. Until then, I would not act so smug. | ||

ClouD, I think most of us are just impressed by how well he's playing for the amount of time he's played SC2 (~1-2 months?). No one is dumb enough to put him in the same class as a Code A player (yet). | ||

Flash asks his 2v2 partner to leave every game so he can play 1v2s constantly. He got to Masters so that's rather impressive, especially with the low practice time. | ||

I was most surprised by how he holds/moves his mouse. I thought most pros used a full on fingertip grip with high sensitivity, such that you never need to move your wrist or arm at all. It looks like Flash moves his whole arm a lot to move the mouse. I always felt this was slower and less accurate than a fingertip grip. Did he adjust his mousing style due to his injury? | ||
