When you're all celebrating and clapping your hands, I hope you all remember that there are two sides to this coin. The world's greatest strategy gamer has arrived for some, but has left for many others. Take a moment to think what is being dismantled to achieve this.
Additionally, the immediate criticism of his speed etc seems like a bit of a lack of respect and understanding. He's only been playing your game for five minutes, go easy. watchout, we have an elite Starcraft guy here I just wanted to give people a heads-up, that's all, to spare a thought for the big picture. I agree with you. Many SC2 players are gonna think Flash is going to immediately be amazing. However, I think he will struggle for a bit. Flash was also known for his game sense and decision making, and this isn't something you can develop in a short amount of time. I think it will take more than several months before Flash has the same "game sense" that he had in BW This is all so true. I'd be so amazed if Flash is able to dominate the top old school SC2 players in his first SC2 tournament. Wait and see.  His first SC2 tournament will probably be only against other BW players at MLG . so, the hardest sc2 tourney to date then
Not really.

Mother of  God.
I discover these vids just as I have a lunch date in a few minutes with a female friend. Oh, woe is is me. Major mistiming of real life activities blocking my access to such awesomeness.

I'm so ready for Proleague.

Because SC2 was my first RTS I have no real concept of who Flash is. The play seemed kinda normal (ofcourse he's only been playing for a little while) but i got to admit, with all the hype going on, even i'm getting excited as hell.
Gogo BW pros, bring us awesome SC2 games ^^

right now him and I guess all the BW players are not going to play SC2 in some great strategic level, but purely on their mechanics.

Wth? He's played over 400 2v2's...
Probably just getting used to the different mechanics, but still..

It looks so weird to see Flash play SC2. That being said, he's looking pretty solid at the moment.
|
Man, he is already so crazy good. After the first vid I was like, meh. But the 2nd, better midgame mechanics than atleast almost any european player
|
Oh god I want Flash to stream right now.
|
i'm ready! now better improve this game with hots, blizz, and we might reach a state worthy the name starcraft after all.

"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 
For a guy that has to practice two games competetively, having to deal with adjusting to the different kinks of each game and who's also been playing the new game for less than two months... Yeah, I'd say that this is pretty impressive.
Get off your high horse.

Well... Flash did just beat that toss with Marine, Marauder and Viking, which does count for 3 types of units.

He dosen't have to be the one to play all the games on that account. Someone else may have used it before.

Nah he hasn't played any, I'm not sure why that comes up. Sc2Ranks is a bit buggy like that

This makes me so happy

Wait a minute... his TvT opponent was KR GM apocalypse O.o! This is much more relevant then a rank 20 master player O.o...!

Wouldn't it be ironic if Flash and Zergbong switched roles on SC2?
But I have faith in my God.
