Flash said Protoss is overpowered and Terran is the weakest. Yeah. FLASH. Please dont telling us to get better and stop whining now, please.
What you're looking at could be the end of a particularly terrifying nightmare. It isn't. It's the beginning. Introducing Mr. John Valentine, air traveler. His destination: the Twilight Zone...

"FF's imba", poor terran players, if only all their units had range Undestandable for him to think so tho, but looks like complaining is becoming a thing between progamers recently.

i was going to point to flash's post and be all: SEE! im not the only one who thinks T needs more options late game!!!!!!1

then i realized flash is probably using the interview to mindgame the opposition, while in reality the top 5 korean GM accounts are all his smurfs.

He's in high masters with a 55-56% win-rate. Sorry to burst your bubble. :/


i remember that whole elephant in the room Final Edit. something about how if flash, jaedong or bisu came over to sc2 they would be winning championships easily within a season or two. time to see if there was any truth in that...


At the time that article was made I think it would have been true due to the difference in mechanics between BW and SC2 players and the amount of time that SC2 players practiced but they have really stepped it up...
Life has won two GSLs and a Blizzard Cup. NOT three GSLs.

Are there any tournaments you want to compete in specifically?
I don't know what tournaments there are yet. However I want to go to Canada sometime. My friend lives in Canada so I've heard a lot about it, and I've always wanted to go.


OMG i would cry if this happened.

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.



Well, he says that he is "learning the game" and I am 100% sure that this is accurate, in fact we all are still learning the game even DRG or MVP.
The game is not at all explored and still people complain about Forcefields.

Well guess what, in PvP Archons are becoming very popular because they can break Forcefields.
Now ofcourse using a Thor to break Forcefields would be somewhat micro intensive and it is way more easy to whine and say the race that does by far worst in the professional scene has to be the OP race.

And Forcefields early in the game?
Well, they rely on you messing up your micro/positioning and Protoss very often depends on hitting that one Forcefield in a split second or they are simply dead.

So thank you Flash for finally killing my fanboyism that has built up over the last 8 months or so.
Can concentrate on fanboying HuK and MMA now.

i love flash as i am a former bw player, but i do think he shouldnt talk to confident about game balance until he grasps the game fully. On another note, i do understand where it comes from. Transitioning from BW and the ways the MU´s work there often means sc2 stuff appears strange up to "obvious op" to you. Before i played sc2 i imagined immortals would be OP vs T for the way the MU worked in bw times. Just giving an example, of how strange some units and abilities must appear when you are not yet used to the game.
On the other hand flash is yet better in sc2, then i will ever be, so who knows (;

Already speaking like a true sc2 terran, he got the everyone else is imba mentality really quickly.

Nice interview, Lee Young Ho Fighting!!!

What are some difficulties for you?
I think there's a problem with the balance. Protoss is overpowered so I hope they balance it out.


Looks like Protoss players can't make excuses anymore or put up smoke screens like "learn to use battlecruisers".

Ahhh denial can only last so long.

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.


That's just silly.

Even god has declared PvT imba. I don't think anyone can really dispute him without getting flamed hard.. In all honesty though terran needs some changes in regards to balance tho.. we've been getting nerfed all year haha

Modesty is common in Korea.

Kudos to Flash for not being a coward and speaking out on balance, actually every terran in the pro-scene and 99% of the casual terrans share his thoughts on protoss being OP but not 100% of them want to state that officially, but tbh we've heard most top korean terrans and every top foreign terran complaing about Protoss and Terran late game in general, we have a huge part of the community complaining, even from the highest TOP level and still blizzard watches and do nothing but nerf terran and buff the other races. I mean this is infuriating for many of us terrans. Are we consigned to do all ins until HOTS gets out or what?
