From what our friends in the BW forum say, these pros, especially TBLS should be dominating SC2 right out the gate. it's not his fault if he did not impress you, it's SC2 fault, that not let Flash express all his potential | ||

SC2 is not an easy game, believe it or not. Flash himself said it may realistically take 2-3 years for him to reach his SC1 level of skill in SC2. | ||

Will he go for the Code A qualifiers? Or will he maybe go for the MLG open bracket? Or maybe Dreamhack? Probably it will be some showmatch series but I'm not really counting those. | ||

The only places where you'll see him playing sc2 for a while is gonna be proleague, the next sc2 OSL and probably a MLG spring championship showmatch. | ||

Considering his account has been revealed, we will see a lot of replays of his ladder games from opponents that want to brag. | ||

I remember that with Grubby it was the exact same story, people were saying what this guy a wc3 legend? Now Grubby is one of the best foreign toss. You need to have the hours in a game to understand what to do, every player that is switching just like flash looks like that. But flash can improve faster than regular players and have a higher skill cap. The only two similarities War3 has with SC2 is that they're both made by Blizzard and both RTS games. Pretty much the only thing that carries over from War3 are general RTS skills and stage experience (if you are a pro). Also, if people actually followed the War3 scene, they'd know that what makes you good at War3 and what distinguishes pros from amateurs mostly are skills that don't transfer, which is not necessarily true in BW (where at least you can carry over macro abilities). Grubby was also notoriously one of the slowest top-tier players in War3 (watching his APM vids compared to the Korean/Chinese players is a bit funny, he is known for low-APM but deliberate actions and good mouse accuracy), and he's a player I like to say improves at his own comfortably slow pace. Honestly, it doesn't matter Flash is high Masters in a few weeks. It doesn't matter that it took Grubby almost two years to get good at SC2. What matters is the end result and where they will be given enough time. Which is why this thread is kind of ridiculous imo, because there are actually tons of unknown amateurs and semi-pros and pros who made Masters in the same amount of time but aren't known because they aren't Flash, but who cares, Flash is God! This is basically a repeat of the fOrGG hype but with less substance. + Show Spoiler + Though it'll be good seeing Jaedong beat down Flash again, muahahahaha. :3c | ||

I don't think it would be hard for the pros to get the handle at injection and creep spread . Zerg is the macro race , you don't need them fancy build orders and strategies . The basic thought process is defend the attacks and crush with macro . Same was in BW . The only huge difference is the absence of the defiler which had a huge impact in the lategame in BW . ZvZ is simillar , the sharper mechanical player with the better opening BO will probably win the game , with the difference that it can transition in to late game easier then in BW . Now if you look at protoss it's a lot different then in BW and terran as well with Bio having larger priority then mech unlike BW where it's the opposite - Mech>Bio . | ||

Or maybe he's just giving himself a handicap. Yeah. Must be that. (Squirtle said he'd build a Mothership in GSL Finals? I won't use mules then) I think I can see the accuracy and decision making though. That push against the T was pretty nice, and I guess the hold vs. P was alright. One and a half VOD's isn't enough to make a conclusion though. We'll see in a couple months-- he has a couple years of practice to catch up on. God Hwaiting! | ||
