SCV auto-repair prioritize fixing themselves before they fix anything else.

It seems unreal to see a pro playing in a context that isn't on stage....it makes God seem more...human.

This makes me super excited to see Flash vs MKP or MVP. God those would be some sick games.

It's one thing to categorize players who have being tested for a long time in bw like nestea who was mediocre and another to judge players who made a switch before they were able to prove anything, or players too young, like leenock or maru.
On another point, I eagerly await for a multitasking slugfest between MMA and Bisu. I'll jeez many pants when that happens.
Let me guess, MC would also be S-class BW if he was still playing BW right? lol
Maybe you should be the one that checks his facts. MMA played his last professional BW in mid 09 a year before SC2 released. He didn't switch because he saw an opportunity for more money he quit because he wasn't good enough to get stage time. Just like all the other B-teamers.

I find it hilarious how many scans he used and still had more units than the other guy.

I dunno if this actually is true, but iloveoov said in an interview that he personally handpicked MMA to SKT and was grooming him to success, which vouches for what Steveling said. Again, it could just be lipservice, but those are some strong words that he didn't have to say.

Not on CD though. Unless he was purposfully pooling the energy so he can scan whenever he wants.

Did we saw the same video?
He might not look fast but his resource management, build orders, and decision making seemed superb. Especially the Build orders were super crisp

For the first while before the proleague he might not, but assuming all the top players right now stream sometimes (MKP, DRG) I don't see why he wouldn't. pros aren't allowed to stream; kespa teams aren't even willing to practice with each other to hide strategies, why would they stream? SC2 is not revolved around Kespa?
koreans are

Pretty nice.
I wanna see BISU.

hahas yeah I was surprised by how many scans he used, I was thinking he must be used to comsat scans still. Greats vods, hopefully we can get moreeeeeeee

Couple thoughts:
- To those looking up his profile, if I remember correctly pro teams usually had team accounts with multiple users (at least in BW). I doubt that account is entirely Flash, probably a mix of KT players. It has too many games player for it to be just Flash.
- To SC2 players wondering why BW fans are getting so excited, here we have a player who has proven that he has the best RTS skills. Whatever you believe it is that makes you good at starcraft, I guarantee you Flash has it because he is simply the best ever at the most competitive RTS in history. While Flash and other top BW pros may not dominate right away, it will at the very least be an influx of players with elite mechanics and extensive knowledge about how to approach strategy games. Some will probably lose motivation and fade away (happens even when you aren't switching games, the Jaedong of today is not Jaedong in his prime) but a lot of them will be able to bring new strats, competition, and most importantly storylines to a game that hasn't done that great of a job of developing superstars like BW did.
So yeah, this is a big deal.
