meh i see a lot of responses about how people complain flash said he's a noob and stuff commenting on race... he's high masters, like how bad can he really be? (isn't there a rule here at tl that states don't comment unless you're high masters? well he is one so... what's wrong with that?)

secondly of course he's going to say he's not good (or noobie). Even in the interview he said that all the expectations are a burden, perhaps he would say that so people wouldn't focus so much on the BW pros who are switching? And of course he's going to be humble about it there are so many established players already. Remember what mvp said after he beat parting. Overconfidence can be anyone's obstacle.

Using earnings throughout SC2's lifespan including the time when T was obviously OP to argue the state of current balance is retarded.

Look guys, i know flash is a trancedent human being and all. But he barely has experience with sc2 and protoss seems inherently overpowered intially. (i.e. toss vs zerg, zerg deathball gets destroyed). However, toss has severe flaws in design making it very boring and limited to play (note: i didnt say good or bad, just limited). So toss is either op at times, or god awful. If toss gets nerfed in hots, ill just switch to terran and get back to gm ez pz.

Also, flash wants to come to canada. my body is ready.
When they see MC Probe, all the ladies disrobe.

It's funny cause you won't find any Terran pro that says TvP is balanced.

Thanks for interview, can't wait see to see all the best RTS gamers compete in one game. Didnt see a lot of BW, but i did love watching Flash play, so here's me hoping he'll be as awesome in sc2 as he was in bw.

But I guess it cant be avoided, one has to fight for their side in hopes of profit...


Toss is doing the worst it seems. Def not Terran underpowered, I think it is his play style is why he complains about Toss. This is from a Zerg but Terran doesn't need a buff to balance but I don't know TvP. Maybe Toss a debuff but terran is already a pain to beat without gosu drops like Flash does as a Zerg.

What?

Protoss is doing the worst?

i missed this guy so much when i changed to the SC2 Scene. So happy for this interview and to have him back to the game i appreciate.

Laughed my ass of this

A lot of fans are anticipating Flash's excellent Medivac multitasking.
It's a basic play that anyone can do so that's not much of a problem. What's more important is making a situation where that ends up working. I haven't been able to do that yet.
Grubby and Ret fan, but a TERRAN player :D

How is your wrist?
To be honest my wrist bothered me throughout the season. If I said that it still hurt it would show weakness so I held it in and didn't say anything, but I think it's getting better now. The after-effects of surgery persist for a long time apparently. It still gets sore around night time. I tend to keep playing if I lose so even when it hurts it doesn't affect me much.

dude is a straight up beast.

I find it interesting that he feels the response time in BW is much slower than SC2.
I suspect translation swap up, playing both games wouldn't say BW is slower or lagging at all.

Claims he's a noob, but then also says the game's clearly imbalanced. Thanks flash you just excused about 90% of the type of posts in this forum
Hell no, he's just lucky he doesn't post it here by himself - or he's gonna get warned for sure. xD

I cant take it only as whining if he says he is a complete noob than heavily comment on balance. either one or other.

<3 Canada fighting!

Although, I don't think he realizes how big Canada actually is. Attending a tournament in PEI will probably put him further away from his Vancouver friend than just staying in Korea lol.

Probably not.
