Im assuming you know since you are privy to his skill level. Or maybe your his practice partner. Are you Flash's practice partner? I know him, he is low plat toss on NA. He hates anything Terran cause he fails with his 4 gates.... | ||

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?" Lololol all of this made me laugh ty, but yeah I could imagine some of these things being pretty shocking and random to these BW pro's. | ||

There Or maybe you would prefer to put a sack over your head and not look at Flash's comments, because they somehow don't sit well with you (for reasons other than you state). Flash is simply stating obsverations being "new" to sc2, kinda like a baby seeing the world for the first time. Sometimes being fresh can bring more astute observations than having grinded the game for 1½ yrs and simply winning by following certain metagame trends. Sometimes being new means ur opinions will change after some time... So I am repeating myself again, and saying let's see what the future holds for his opinion. I have absolutely no problem with Flash making balance statements. My issue is with people acting as though his comments actually have weight to them. He's a new player having a few troubles, and that's about it. | ||

With 400 games just this season and with a win ratio equivalent of 80% NA or 70% EU, he is already beating the likes of Apoc for Christ's sake, get some perspective. | ||

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.Let him live in his little bubble, it's better that way :D | ||

terran buff would maybe be disgusting but it would be worth it just to see him stick with terran lol, you cant disagree artosis got so owned haha On May 12 2012 06:43 Andr3 wrote: So protoss is imba because Flash says so. The amount of championships taken by the so called imba toss and the statistics support his claim. ... Just because he's Flash doesn't mean he's right, it's SC2 after all not BW. you have alot to learn my friend | ||

Flash playing SC2 is beyond epic. It's not broken as far as balance is concered, not in the sence that all races have a fair chance of wining. It, IMO, has some design problems that make the game worse then it could be. + Show Spoiler + Colosuss being worthless without the entire Protoss army around it, forces death balls, this in late game forces death balls from T an Z to. "Warp in" is balanced by poor-ish gateway units, this again, forces death balls. FFs often give "free" advantages eg. FF the enemy ramp to prevent reinforcements. This at no micro cost and very early in the game. "Charge" gives Zealots "auto micro". This takes away from the game instead of adding. There are other similar examples with T and Z to. Protoss just has to many of them, that's why it's considered "the easy race" | ||

Tastosis does do that. its so funny. But hey, they are Protoss players what do you expect. | ||

What I don't like about him is his fans. They are so dogmatic about him and call him demigod and stuff. Hopefully that's going to stop. Anyways, I hope he does well in SC2. | ||

I find it absurd people are taking his balance talk wayyyy too out of context. He was just stating his opinion as a player. Every player has a right to state what they think. Shame on you people for hating flash for having him state his own opinion. I rather have him state what he really thinks then some BS fake stuff "like ooo him saying I'm not good enough right now to talk about balance. I think I will have to imporve." People just want to eat up that generic shit, but guess what Flash is real baby! | ||

If he wants them buffed, do it. Do whatever it takes xD I read somewhere that alot of the BW Zergs thought Zerg was UP too though. I actually think they should play more before they can truly tell. At the same time this is Flash... ^_^ | ||

Hardcore fandom is only a good thing for any sport or competition. Flash fans may go over the top once in awhile but it shows people are somewhat emotionally invested in SC2 as an E-sport. | ||

How's that for perspective? And I fail to see how the win ratio is supposed to be meaningful. Battle.net intentionally tries to get you to 50%. Going higher means that you've increased in skill/understanding after so many games, so the matchmaker has to play catch-up. | ||
