I didn't say I have only watched 2 Flash SC2 games... I said I know it wasn't his first game and just gave an example of another Flash game. Also, have you watch ALL SC2 games to claim he has the best macro and resource management out of all the players? Again, I agree that Fantasy had great micro and Flash had great macro. Just hard to call it the BEST EVAR. But I guess these forums are like that. That last game that happened was the best TvZ ever or the worst game ever. | ||

To me some are on the same level already (Roro, Effort, Jaedong, Fantasy, By.sun, CJhero), but they lack some general gamesense sometimes. 3. Flash didn't impress me that much either, he seems like macro hard and try to overpower the opponent with pure macro. Didn't see any harass. But ill give him some time, he is a practice beast. But this who Flash is, what makes him so good is not flashy micro tricks or crazy builds, he just builds more stuff, manages his resoucres better and takes the right decision at the right time more often than everybody else. | ||

Obviously it's going to take time for him to be impressive in a new game, and he even mentions that in an interview about how he needs a year or two to be god tier. Saying stuff like "THIS IS EVIDENCE SC1 SKILLS DONT TRANSLATE IMMEDIATELY TO SC2" is pretty silly really. Give it time instead of being like "Oh he's nothing special" ~_~; This. Flash's ability to almost soak in every little piece of information better than a Shamwow in an advertisement + his consistent and unfailing memory of how the game works and what reactions should work to win the game is really only impeded by his lack of time practicing the game. Give it a break - he's a robot, but even copy-pasting that much minute information + earlygame/midgame/lategame/general situational theory into his processor takes a bit of time. I'd also like to know what the point of this post was, other than to provoke people, since most of the observations listed are not only common sense given about a minute of focused thought, but also have been rehashed over and over and over and over again ad nauseum | ||

Well, then you must be right. Flash does have the best macro EVAR. | ||

The micro was impressive but god did his macro suck, it's funny how people are like " OH MY GOD MICRO MURINS SO GOSU FANTASY IMBA " but then you look closely and see that a part from the stellar micro/multitask it was more NesTea that sucked than Fantasy that plaid like MvP or Taeja | ||

Yeah he could've built more rax before he started dropping but probably wasn't expecting Nestea to go full foreigner and the drops to as much damage as they did. | ||

It just seems to make more sense that he would bank up, if he has stated he likes to do it, rather than his macro slipping that bad. What higher tech in TvZ man ? His minerals went high because he had 4 rax but no reactors on them. So instead of 7 marines he was building 4 per cycle. When he realised that, he built 3 additional rax and 1 factory... Yes his macro slipped. IDK why it is so hard to admit. He is still new to the game so it's a normal thing. | ||

Fantasy's marine micro might be the best I've seen, better than MMA even, and those drop harass + macro is impeccable. In that game, nestea's infestors came too late. Fantasy's drops were good but it's easy to look really good when you are just controlling drops against lings and slow banes. If infestors were out that could easily have been 4 lost medivacs. | ||

I am sure a lot of terrans could macro like that in such a passive game. Flash is the master of mind games , most of the time he will predict what the opponent does and counter it . In the words of Jaedong himself in one of his interviews , they asked him what do you like the most in Flash's gameplay and he answered " I like how he sets himself up for the lategame" . The fact that Flash almost never ends up behind in early game build orders in 90 % of his games is why he was the best in BW and will be really good in SC2 . He just needs more time to learn them build orders , but sadly with HOTS coming and balance patching the game every month might slow his progress , but once he learns he will be almost unstoppable . When Flash was in 6 consecutive finals people here including me were praying for Jaedong or someone else to stop him , but he kept on steamrolling and people blamed Flash as one of the reasons why BW lost popularity and then eventually died out . Eventually he slowed down a bit and JangBi and Fantasy stoped his reign . | ||
