He can't be a complete noob and masters. Being top 2% of the game on the hardest server disqualifies any statement he makes as being noob. He probably means he feels noob compared to how he feels in BW.

Flash is a whining idiot?

Whining about balance when he's not close to being a high level player (yet) isn't a very smart move. All of his game knowledge from BW doesn't translate to SC2, he'd do good by waiting with comments about balance until he has experienced playing at the very top.

It's funny cause you won't find any Terran pro that says TvP is balanced.


You won't find any Protoss random on TL that says TvP is imbalanced though ;\ We all know who the real experts are..


It's all the ones that lost all the Liquibets right?

Well, Protoss should at least get to win some tournaments and some money before all the QQ comes pouring down.

Here's the recent list... http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Premier_Tournaments

2 P wins out of 11 in 2012
7 T wins out of 11 in 2012

Just data!

yeah

11th in Masters on Korea isn't a high level player
Soon let's just ask who won the last GSL, and is also #1 on GM to comment on balance

This. He'll probably change his mind when he gets more time with the game and if he don't, well...

Darn. I was only a mid masters noob.

So... I'm still the second highest ranked noob, right? :D

What a horrible argument. That's based on tournament earnings etc. over the entire life of SC2. We're talking about the CURRENT metagame/balance.

lol Toss is getting so much hate from the other races, who are arguing with each other who is the weakest.

And I'm with him in hoping that when HotS comes out it levels the playing field a bit.


I loved the part where he was talking about all the things that were OP. I can see him playing his first game against protoss "Oh god, WHY? Why can you do that? You couldn't do any of this stuff in BW! Why can you make a wall any time you want? Why can your dragoons teleport? Why did zealots just come out of that umbrella?"

Though I am sure BW protoss players are asking "Why are marines good? What is there rocket that keeps landing on their minerals? Who is that large man with the marines that shoots rockets? OH GOD! WHY IS HE SO FAST? WHY IS THE DROPSHIP HEALING HIM?"

Winning tournaments is not indicative of balance.

The whole thought process that every race deserves equal tournament wins is mind boggling.

Hell no, he's just lucky he doesn't post it here by himself - or he's gonna get warned for sure. xD

Maybe Flash has already posted on Teamliquid, but got banned so we never knew about it D:

Maybe it's just the PR guys doing a good job, but I really like Flash's attitude towards competing in SC2 (disregarding his statements about balance lololol). He is such a competitive player, and it seems that his competitiveness is going to carry over into SC2. I think his competitive attitude will be the most deadly part about him, as it gives him the mental edge that will be essential to his success as he climbs closer to the top in SC2. I think quite a few pros in SC2 are lacking in this regard, and for the top BW pros that do remain competitive, their mental fortitude will be a key part of their edge over some current SC2 pros.

On one hand, I wish this transition was more comprehensive so that Flash can practice SC2 full-time without having to worry about OSL or hybrid Proleague shenanigans. On the other hand, I'm always eager for more Flash vs Fantasy in BW, though that possibility seems ever less likely as BW begins to close down.

edit:
Heck, he claims to not even be all that shaken-up about his dual losses in the Proleague finals. That is some impressive mental discipline, especially considering how close and clutch that entire series was.

7 wins out of 11 major tournaments so far in 2012... for TERRAN. Is that recent enough for you?
