So looking forward to seeing Flash in the first foreign sc2 tournament.
However, I am a bit sad that he won't be god anymore after he changes...

Flash was sharing his current opnion (which could change in the future mind you). He understands RTS games like no one else, so I find your comment rather interesting.


Wrong. He understands SC:BW like no one else. I'd bet you everything I had that he knows jack-all about C&C, Age of Empires, or even WC3.

To say he understands BW, so he automatically knows more than Code S players is complete bull.

Where in my comments did I write he knows more than Code S players? Where is it? Or maybe ur just adding ur own comments as to make my comment look extreme? I don't appreciate that...
here, let me help you...I wrote he has more right to complain than casual laddering non pro gamers about all aspects of sc2.

Yes because C&C and AoE are such huge Esports..? I'd bet everything I have that he would learn everything there is to know about other RTS games (including sc2) in a much shorter time frame, than you think. Why? because he has something fundamental that all RTS games need...Mechanics and strategy. Not game specific strategy, but overarching concepts of strategy.
Am i basing this on fact or fiction? Well the man made it to Masters on KR server in 4-5 days. KR Masters is considered to be GM in EU and NA. That shows that he has an incredible skill and understanding that has the potential to win Code S ONE day.




yeah he won using only Marines Medivacs and Tanks since he did not know what any of the other Units would do.

Thus proving his incredible strategical insight and understanding of the game..................................

Well it sounds like Flash is having fun with SC2, hopefully that will convince more BW fans to give it a chance

We will never know the truth about how these BW guys feel about SC2 now since KeSpa is involoved. They are not allowed to say anything bad about SC2 in comparison to BW as under direct orders from their coaches.
This balance interview was just a distraction. They are trying to make us not think about why LoL is dominating globally and how hard SC2 will fall when DOTA2 comes out. Not to mention casual gamers will be completely gone when Diablo3 is out. We all fell for it. There is no hope. I haven't seen the movie Inception but I think we are being Incepted.
SC2 was doomed from the start.

lol at the amount of bad terrans in this thread who think the statement "everything about protoss is OP, forcefields are OP" holds any actual meaning especially coming from someone with such little exerience in SC2. keep telling yourself that protoss is OP when in reality you're just getting outplayed.

Maybe he`ll do like Boxer and found a team of talented sc2 players. in which he will serve more the role of a mentor/coach/sponsor magnet and thus bring new talented champions to the sc2 scene.If there`s anybody that knows about dominating an sport for a prolongued period of time then that is Flash.

I was gonna write something along the lines of "it's too early for him to talk about balance"...

Then I re-read the article, and saw the picture.

I got to Master league in 4 to 5 days


What the fucking fuck?!? 5 days, rank 11? Rank 11 Masters in Korea is like... top 5 GM in Europe and 1v2 GMs in NA, no?!

Don't ACTUAL results matter?

Not necessarily, the player pool is too limited, therefore extremely good players make a huge impact in the perceived balance, terrans won multiple championships in Korea, but do you believe that toss representatives like hongun, anypro or Inca were up to par with MVP, Polt, MMA ?MC was the only really good one for a long time and he has had his fair share of wins, that's how I see it, people really need to stop throwing meaningless data everywhere to support their arguments, which ipso facto end up being baseless.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

1 He didn't speak specificly about this match
2 Marine tank medivac in TvT is the most standard thing ever in TvT. But you probably don't play terran
3 Your exessive amount of dots annoys me.

1 That is from another interview. When he FIRST played, (after his surgery) he immideatelly made it to masters only using Marine Tank Medivac
2 He played it in all 3 matchups.
3 Yeah I thought so.

Best wishes.

Eh...so he starts with admitting that he is a total noob and then proceeds to call Protoss OP. "Forcefields/Warpgates OP" while Protoss has only 2 GSL gold medals...and then calls terran the weakest while they won the most. Expected more from him...

@Xpace... No, rank 11 master in K is not top 5 Gm rank in Europe. Nightend ( protoss ) the romanian protoss that is a top 50 GM got to Korea and got into GM in less then 2 weeks. Deathangel ( zerg ), another romanian, got into K Gm in almost the same ammount of time . Also Deathangel had a forum blog post in wich he said that about 2 weeks after he got in the pro-house he was beating most of the K masters there.
