I find it interesting that he feels the response time in BW is much slower than SC2.

Well I think its definitely true that terran has a dip in win rates between masters and the super top that Flash might be in right now. If he just isn't used to all the strategies or how the micro works precisely against new things like FF and banelings (we still don't see every player do marine splitting correctly) then he might have a hard time for a little bit. But once he gets to the level of MVP/MMA/MKP (and I have no doubt he will) it will be interesting if he still feels "protoss OP"

mvp, mma, bomber all say protoss op. u should watch the episode of off the record with bomber. so funny. he gets asked "who do you think will win gsl finals" and bomber says, "i think mvp is one of THE best terrans in the world.... but he will lose because toss op." i think mkp is like the only top terran that doesn't say its op...... but still balanced in favor of toss.

oh yeah... and if a guy who's been playing sc2 for like 4 months thinks there's a balance issue.... clearly, there must be at least SOME issue actually present.

It is interesting that he is saying Toss is OP when Toss losses most tourneys while Terran does the best overall.

But I’m happy he knows that he can’t play both games at bonjwa level like some have suggested. He is wanting to be the best but knows he has to learn a new game.

I gained even more respect for him now (even though I like zergs).

Hmmm, Stephano beats a few EU toss, his win rate vs Korean P is no where near as good, DONT DISAGREE WITH FLASH FOO'!

Isnt his opinions on Protoss and zerg being so much more favored than Terran quite ridicilous? >_>

this was the first thing I noticed about this interview.

In addition it's weird he find the bw response time slower than sc2. I find it the opposite, whenever I go back to play BW I think to myself "man I wish sc2 was this pace."

I wonder if he says imbalanced over his play style though. Everything he says is Terran biased and the tounaments say it's not as bad as he was making it out to be.

A lot Terrans around master league have trouble against toss and zerg. I'm sure once he gets better he will change his mind.

For someone who is called by everyone the god of RTS-gaming he seems to be very humble and reasonable. Pretty sympathic so far for someone who only knows little about the Broodwar scene. Although I wish I would know more about other players, I am pretty sure Flash is not the only good RTS-player over there in Korea. I guess I will read a few hours through Liquipedia.
His balance comments are of course very fitting giving the current GSL-results and I do agree force-fields can make fights feel so incredible unfair. It will be interesting how all the players will adapt to playing 2 games in the proleague. We will probably see a lot of crazy strategies like in the beta because everyone is still learning the game.
And a honest question about the Broodwar scene. From the interview I have the feeling that the team leugue is way more important than the solo-league. Is this accurate? I would like a similar development for SC2.

Do you get confused at all playing both games?
It's really difficult. The response time in BW is slow and there's a difference in graphics so it kind of feels like it's lagging. It makes me question playing both games in parallel. It's an unavoidable decision but it's an extremely tough challenge for the players.


This! When I started to play BW I just couldn't get over the slow response time, really hard for me to play :s

When GSL had only Terrans MVP said Terran was the worst race.
