Yeah this is really cool and shows that Flash is a very smart, mature and a polite player. I hope he will do well in SC2 as well.

disagree, i feel you are looking for reasons to hate. when he says he's noob, he is being very mannered and humble as hell. he has his right to make balance complaints, because he's already qualified his position in the game.

he addresed gateways and forcefields

the fact that both mechanics are badly designed/balanced/implemented is as late news as early beta, so not really surprising to be the first thing that pop in a new player's attention

Calls hinself a noob and whines about balance. Obviously spends time at the blizz forums

I kid I kid!

TvP is really hard for non 1base Terran right now--makes learning macro games hard. It's obvious why he said wha he said since he's still learning.

(Not making balance fights) but I think it's interesting that Flash is complaining (or commenting on) things that terrans considered OP when the game first came out. It seems like forcefields are just hard to deal with in the beginning, XD

And also, remember that something might get lost in translation. He is very noob and just says everything the way he sees it.

It's unavoidable. I think that is a problem. So I'm working harder but I'm still worried. The fans might be disappointed in my play... I think I definitely won't be able to play as well as before.

*sigh*

it's like michael jordan playing baseball.

I lost so much respect for Flash just by reading this interview.

"I am a total noob"
"I think Protoss is OP"

Either you are a total noob and you should not at all comment on balance, or you are a good player and are just full of shit because the race that does best in tournaments, gets the least buffs because it is stronger than others is the race you chose and suddenly it has to be the worst race.
Congratz.

EG whines enough about imbalance for the rest of the pro players, so they can please stop.

Hes obviously being humble when he says hes a total noob hes high masters in korea. The reason terran does the best in touraments is because of the caliber of players that play the race it has nothing to do with balance.

Name a protoss with micro on par or better than MKP's or macro better than mvp's before his wrist injury.

I hate people that think just because a race wins a lot its a balance issue. If you are winning vs people of lesser skill a lot it doesnt mean the race you play is imbalanced.
