You could do some bio cheeses in BW vs protoss that required a very different response to deal with than one would playing against a meching terran.

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?


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.

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?


Man, why are you trying to defend something that is so insignificant? Stop making a big deal out of nothing.

That was just early game; it hardly ever transitioned into mech beyond that except in TvT.

Man, I would totally want to see Let's Plays of Flash messing around in other games. Maybe an FvJ in WC3 would be fun.

whenever i watched osl or proleague it was always hellbat drops followed by tanks,hellbat,thor or hellion armies.Until bomber beat innovation or flash after the nerf I did not see any succesfull high level bio in osl or proleague.

Just confirming what we all knew, Sc2 isn't very fun when compared to BW, just curious if Blizzard will catch on for LOTV or if that is a pipe dream.

Haha, troll accounts are standing in line for this one it seems.

Maybe it´s a fake interview, created by the mods to lure them out.

I am so shocked that some people here think the issue of mech only exists in TvT.

I am shocked.

I really hope Blizzard makes mech work at pro level in LoTV. Else every Terran game is going to be a snoozefest with bio only.

Just like Flash said, there are no mind games because you know the Terran will go for bio with some diversity in the opener.

God has spoken ! He's right I think, concerning mech I say. Terran can't mech anymore, except in TvT, I hope Blizzard takes this into account for LotV and future HotS patches.
