Pretty much the main difference. At the end of the day, Flash will always be better. It's an insult to JD and Flash to compare teammates/practice partners, because any BW fan would know that it's not about how good your partner is, it's about how good YOU are. Stork was probably the greatest PvT player ever, but who did he really practice with since 2005? | ||

Stork was probably the greatest PvT player ever, but who did he really practice with since 2005? I agree that I'm just bitching. But that doesn't mask the fact that most of the winners' interviews in semis/quarters/finals, JD always ended up thanking random B-teamers (who probably had to play team melee just to get him some legitimate practice) and Flash kept thanking people like EffOrt or Hydra or ZerO. Talent is good, but practice matters. You wouldn't expect Flash to win OSLs like a boss if you locked him in a corner of the KT house and forced him to ladder on ICCup for a year. | ||

You can read the thread, do your research, and rewatch the old VODs, but I don't think it can recreate just how powerful he looked when he played. Well, it's better than living in ignorance. | ||

As in Jaedong and Flash both have the surname Lee, so when they battle people use this name to describe the match-up. It originally comes from the LimJinRok when Boxer (Lim) frequently met YellOw (Jin) in the early years of BW. | ||

Stork was probably the greatest PvT player ever, but who did he really practice with since 2005? You guys and your theory crafting. They go hand in hand together bud. The reason Flash was never considered a bonjwa for the longest time is because of JD. Same thing applies to JD. Then Flash started to tie together back-to-back wins so the media labelled him a God. Funny how that works out? Having good practice partners is very important. Heck, I think I even overheard Naniwa talking about this on his stream the other day and amen! He certainly understands it. It's one thing to practice it's another thing to get precision practice and this isn't just about your team or who you play for. Lots of the boys are friends with one another on other teams, so it isn't that difficult for them to get their repetitions in especially if you are a big name. Who wouldn't want to get the call from JD or Flash to help them train? This does play second fiddle to the actual potential a player or raw talent. Hard work ties into this latter process I just described and it makes up a huge piece of the pie. The raw talent is what you tie onto the end of it and ultimately gets the player over the pack at the end of the day. | ||
