I don't think Flash is anywhere near Bonjwa level in SCII and its quite debatable if such a term can even be used considering the amount of tournaments there are so no one player can win them all due to the amount of time they'll have to put in just to fly around etc... It's definitely surprising that Innovation said that he should be called Bonjwa for SCII since he hasn't accomplished much since he switched over. Is Innovation's interview coming? Thanks Seeker!

Innovation and Flash are two freaking monsters. Their resolve is outstanding.

I thought it said that Innovation said that he has selected Flash as a worthy role model?

Also, dammit Bunny and congrats to Bbyong.

Flash has "no idea" why they're nerfing hellbats, lol. Sure hope he isn't relying on them too, too much, and can still win games without them.

Wonder why is Bbyong dissing Bunny so much :o

Thanks for the translations!

I think raffle selections refers to how OGN does their group selection before. There WILL still be group selection, but the players dont have 100% control on selecting their groups. THe way they did it was the top 4 gets seeded and the other players will pick 2 random balls. Ex. A3 and B3, then he chooses which one he would prefer, and as far as I can remember, the 4 seeds also has the power to switch players around (once for 2nd to 4th seed and twice for the 1st seed).

INnoVation stated that you are a player that should receive bonjwa status. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Bonjwa

Since he was already declared not a bonjwa, but a level above them(God), Innovation is actually insulting Flash!

ok .. two of the best in the world ATM namely soulkey(i still dont think hes the best zerg) and innovation(he is probably on the top of the entire sc2 population ) both are scared of flash .. scared might not be the right word .. ill settle with intimidated .. but flash must be really that good that even a player as good as innovation respects him that well ..

but come on innovation he's not bonjwa level YET ..

i still believe that innovation is so good but overhyped by fans ..

anyways nice article

.. looking forward for JD and Flash rivalry again just like in BW if JD does not screw up in improving

Flash was also known in Broodwar for tweaking his build orders to perfection. He's losing a lot right now, but only with experience and those defeats he can adjust his build orders that they will be untouchable. Thing is, it was a lot easier in Broodwar to be all-around save compared to now. Lets see how long it takes until Flash will be able to completely read opponents and have his build orders tight.

Looking forward to follow his development once again. Thanks for the translation, good interviews.

Flash has no idea why they are nerfing hellbats and uses TvP as excuse? They are not only used a lot in TvT but as well in TvZ. Was hoping better from him.

To dispel any concerns, the original question asked had nothing to do with bonjwa (let there be an end to the dispute right now). I will retranslate that question and answer only.

The season final champion INnoVation has said you are an exemplary player. (T/N: an alternative lesser translation is "your example is worth following", similar to role model)
I am not sure if I am that kind of player (laughter). I am grateful to hear that, and think hearing such words provides motivation for me to try harder. I will become a player suited to such compliments.

Flash not caring for hellbats makes sense. He is so slow and stubborn that by the time he incorporated them into his play they would have already been nerfed for a while. Nevertheless, him claiming ignorance is kinda cute.
