What's funny is in BW, it was always mech except for TvZ but Flash said there was a choice. -_-"

I love interviews on pro players and especially Korean players. Getting a little insight into the life of Flash and hearing what he thinks about certain topics can really spark conversations. From the way I read the interview I felt like it seemed Flash wasn't enjoying Sc2 nearly as much as BW (which yes I know he would still want to be playing BW) but it seemed almost to the point that he's not enjoying he life as a progamer as much either. Would love to see David Kim answer to his comment about mech though! :D

The price of girlfriends that are out of your league must be insane in Korea!

You read it wrong. It's the interviewer who says that

He might as well have said it because the interviewer said so. If you tackle someone on a basketball court, the team suffers because a player gets a penalty. If this game is to be taken seriously as an E-sport and be on the level of basketball he will have to take the penalty for the interviewer will he not?


Never before in my life have I seen such a logical comment.

Nice interview, thank you.
If I even meet him, I'll have to buy and ruler and get him to sign it!

So if the interviewer said Flash enjoyed stabbing people in his spare time, would we accept that and think "Hmm, there's a chance the interviewer did a mis-translation OR the more likely option: Flash is a serial kill." You've got a good point. It's the only way we can take SC2 to the next level.
Never argue with an idiot. They will just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

i always get the idea than in written interviews especially translated ones things sound a bit different than the guy giving the interview had intended.Also lack of context is really annoying.He could have given an interview similing and trolling but this translation makes it feel like he is cringing.It also could have been one of those "speak my mind" types of intervies wher ehe just states certain facts.Anyways good job with the interview.


How can flash think he has the same skill in LoL as he does in sc2? In LoL there 100+ champions to pick from while in sc2 there are 3 races. The amount of strategies that are employed in that game will never be understood by someone that plays a 1v1.



100 heroes divided by 5 positions=20 heroes for each postion out of which only 4-5 actually see proplay the other ones being "teemo" type aka good on ladder but not good against pros.Now considering each player has a maximum of 3(that if you consider madlife level) that he can actually play at lcs level and actually be effective you end up with less heroes than terran has barracks units.Not to mention the itemization for each role is the same in 95 percent of the cases so yeah sc2 is a bit more complex.When you will see heroes such as warwick,teemo,singed,akali,katarina,fizz in more than 3 matches in lcs nowadays give me a ring.

This is the tradeoff for Esports to be taken as seriously as a real sport. Otherwise it is teenagers playing a video game. In the real world, if you say something it is taken seriously, just like on a basketball court. Why should this be any different?

Flash needs to tell Blizzard to make mech viable, maybe then they will finally listen.
