I think it is fair at this point that there may be users who are unaware of BW or the legends borne from a decade long industry. But why would you publicly advert that you do not know who Flash is!? It just shows that you didn't even watch the clip in the OP because the caster clearly states that he is everything that is BW multiple times.
The first engagement was pretty cool; I think it showed the value of positioning and Flash's understanding of army control.

Thanks for the video!
You're right I did not watch the video. I saw the replay. I saw absolutely nothing that is remarkable from this guy that Mvp or MMA or whatever Korean Terran can't do.

not sure of your point? people are hyping it because flash is currently the best player and has more dominance in bw than oov or boxer or nada at their peaks. i myself is not impressed by his play but the fact that best bw player to date is working his way towards sc2 is the point here, not his sc2 prowess.
people expecting him to be on par with current best sc2 terrans within a few months is wishful thinking, but i dont think anyone doubts he can't catch up.
(if you want to bring up bw vs sc2 since you're disregarding bw with "who the fuck is flash?", dont)

What most people are impressed by is the fact that he got to this point so quickly, he's only been actually practicing Sc2 for around a month now. So in one month he has gotten to high masters and managed to take a game off a pro who has been playing since beta. That is what is impressive.

to be fair, i think many bw pros will have no problem hitting master in their first month.

Very true, as I've heard most are already in masters. Which is very scary for the Code B/A players right now as I think shortly they will be over run. Code S calibre players will most likely be able to hold their own for the most part.

So he has a few championships. NaDa has the same amount as this guy when I checked.
LOL poor child... Do you know what Bonjwa means? Did you look at his winning ratio?

Basically, MVP was a professional BW player and his claim to fame was taking a game off of Flash in a bo5 (meaning he got 3-1'd) if that tells you anything. Flash is extremely dominant in BW and has been for the last few years, he's only been playing for ~1 month and he's already at that level, which is quite impressive.
That looks convincing to me. Whoever KawaiiRice was playing against was pretty fucking godly in my opinion. Every single engagement increased his lead substantially. He didn't make almost any mistakes at all, and had nearly perfect macro.

MMA, MVP and all of the current top SC2 pros in korea couldn't compete in the hardest game ever created (StarCraft: Brood War).
See the difference? They were all considered newbies compared to Flash in a game that was completely balanced.
Flash has played SC2 for 1 month in every match-up and has won against a player who's played since beta and 10+ hours a day (Kawaiirice). Everybody is making such a big deal because Flash doesn't even understand the game yet and considers himself a newbie even when he's beating players such as Kawaiirice. Also, keep in mind that this is Masters on the Korean ladder not NA, not EU, and not SEA but the hardest ladder out there. Masters in Korea is > Grand Master on any other server. Basically, Flash can do everything that these guys can't. Give him the same amount of time that MVP and MMA and any other korean pro has played the game and he will surely exceed them.

While most of what you said is true... that line, not quite. ZvP is a testament to that.

OMG...I really dunno what to say.Yeah, Flash is only another guy who dominated the most balanced game and won most of the major tournies.
