I saw a video where he said he wanted to be a prosecutor? Man the game will really die if people like Flash and Jaedong quit But yea its nice to see their perfectionist mentality, something that can be learnt from and applied anywhere in life really.

Lee Young Ho! We can see that he practises very hard. I'm of the opinion that he should put less strain on himself and go party more.

How/why game would die when Flash or/and Jaedong retire?

These bw fans are always so dramatic

Leessangs = Star power. With no superstar to replace them = corporate losing interests in game. Game not played in PL and OSL being cancel, huge blow to the infrastructure. System down = unsustainable "career" path = tentatives in participating = scene diminishing = GG.

Fixed, us fans have been there, done that when our superstars cease to play the game.

It's so ridiculous. Just yet ANOTHER LoL advertisement post/interview/guide in SC2 forums!
WTF?

@ LoL people/TL.net LoL staff: Why can't you just let us SC2/BW/RTS fans alone?
It's like an offense if you make an interview with the best SCBW progamer ever and an top SC2 player (Flash) and the half of the questions are about LoL, and how LoL price money is bigger than SC2's.

Wtf @ Tl.net? Wtf...

Long live Starcraft & RTS! I don't want any other game.
People that change games only because the other game is more popular/has more prize money are sad.



Then you would have to hate huge parts of KeSPA/SC2 players, too? I can't tell you how much I hate it when people put BW and SC2 into one pot as if it was the same thing and try to transfer BW's glory to SC2. It's just ridiculous the way you try to take some kind of moral highground when you don't even seem to be informed about many BW fan's view on the BW to SC2 transition. Everybody abandonded BW because they thought SC2 was the superior game, right?! Had nothing to do with money and popularity or where people thought the future would be, right?!

Sorry for being a bit rude but this is the stuff that really, really grinds my gears.

When I saw the rulers from my fans, I realized for the first time that there are so many kinds of rulers. Sometimes I receive 5-6 rulers everyday. And they are all different.

Flash up to date on the ruler metagame!

So much comes through with this short interview and a lot of it doesn't seem so good for SC2
Probably the reason flash doesn't sound so pumped is because he hasn't won anything big in a while especially because he was so dominant just before switching games
But it's not just that the fact that the ultimate Terran would consider ditching his race because of its lack of depth in strategic
decisions is worrying he is basically saying there is 1 way to play and that makes it a lot more shallow
That's much more worrying for the long term
But hey I'm sure some people disagree

Flash Interview after Today's GSL: "My heart hurts when I saw Jangbi retired. Actually I also lost interest in SC2 at one point.

A quick translation of Flash Interview after Today's GSL.

Q: You are worrying about WCS points?

Flash: This is the last chance for the WCS points. My priority now is to get more WCS points. I need to overcome the curse of RO16.

Q: Does Jaedong stimulate you?

Flash: Instead of stimulating, I think JD gave me great support. In the situation of lots of retirement, JD is fighting hard on his own. That's wonderful.

Q: How is your streaming?

Flash: I went to vocation for month, and then I played 4-5 days before streaming. My mood is much better after vocation and I can keep going now. Please forgot my performance. I am kinda unfamiliar with that. There won't be that kind of performance anymore.

Q: Some final thought?

Flash: When I was back from Thailand, I have cleaned up my mood. A few months ago, my mind was in a complicated situation. Jangbi and other skillful players' retirement is really a regretful thing. My heart hurts when I saw the news. Actually I also lost interest in SC2 at one point. But I have stabilized my mind now. To fulfill the promise of my fans, I will keep working hard.

Oh boy am I happy that he didn't retire aswell and now made up his mind. However, the thought of having Flash stream BW on Afreeca like Jangbi... (sorry couldn't help but fantasize about that )

It is expected when he is so used to playing BW, but it is so sad to see that Flash has to try so hard to be interested in this game.

It is only a matter of time. BW revival!

That's like the opposite of what he said in his interview.

Instead of turtling in the past glory, I think working hard to make SC2 more popular is a better thing to do. Accepting the reality and improving on what's lacking.

You can't really read anything into that either way. I mean FlaSh has been around for a while, Kespa does PR training with their pros, of course he's gonna be very positive about SC2 (which is his job at the moment) regardless of what he truly feels. Also has to do with pleasing his fans and maybe dispelling some of this monolith of negativity that's been around lately.

So yeah, don't read too much into it. If he said anything close to the opposite, then there'd be some serious issues.

+ Show Spoiler +
Besides, it's all up to interpretation anyway. You think he likes the game and wants to work hard. Maybe others would interpret the subtlety of "instead of turtling in the past glory" as an obvious nod to the fact that BW was much more glorious/greater etc... also the "accepting the reality and improving on what's lacking", I mean it can be interpreted as saying SC2 is not as good.

It's all about how you spin it, so it's not worth getting all caught up in imo

See this is what i really dislike. This constant doomsaying no matter what.
Pro's say to be positive? Clearly he does not truly think so and is just being a PR machine but the second they say something negative its all over the place. Let's not even begin with this "reading between the lines" bullshit people here love to do.

it's like asking a Go player to play tic tac toe, yea there's a lot of money and his career involved, but it's no longer a passion he can commit to on his own.

actually not tic tac toe, just rock scissor paper. the former is balanced LOL
