Flash: 'How do they call you again?' Jaedong: 'Look down'
You mean "What do they call you again?"
Geez, you guys need to get your mind out of the gutter. I was trying to find the most dramatic photo of these guys, and now it's ruined. What has been seen now can't be unseen!

Nonetheless, still funny, now that I see it
Honestly, I was more thinking about turning it into a fake ad for some eau-de-cologne. They look so damn artsy in that picture. :D

Well Mvp was on his way, if only his condition didn't backfire soo much
even though Terran was considered to be the weakest race during Wings of Liberty
During the end?
It's quite debatable but terran certainly didn't get short end of the stick in WOL
Ah, a stickler are you?
Yeah, it's debatable, but Protoss was doing fairly well against Terran, and Terran did the worst against the Zerg.
No, its not really debatable, terran had multiple times 20+ in Code S. Lets not even mention at the start of WoL or the 1/1/1 period.
I am talking about the end, not the beginning or the middle of WoL.
T was never the weakest race in WoL. Weaker than Zerg? Yea, sure. Weaker than Protoss? No way. Protoss had like 2 things they could do in PvZ - immortal/sentry all in or try to hit that 15-17 minute timing window right as the greater spire completes (or hope Z bunched his BLs and let them get vortexed)
T fared much better against infestor/bl Z era and PvT was pretty balanced. Evidence of P weakest is that at the end there were like 4 protoss in the GSL.
EDIT: But I don't really care too much about this. Hype hype hype is where it's at.

Innovation is already pretty near that level. Flash is high up too. If Life/DRG can maintain their form they could be too, they just dont have the benefit of nostalgia to carry their levels higher.
I really want both these two to do well in teh upcoming WCS Season 3 , in their respective regions. Sc2 will truely die if legends like these two leave the game

Nope, won't die, not gonna happen. I bet all money I have right now and will ever earn that star 2 will be around as an esport till the day starcraft 3 is released, maybe even longer.
Great writeup, imo it's one of the most amazing things in all of star 2 to see these two constantly improve and getting closer and closer to being gods again, especially with flash you can tell how he gets closer and closer to figuring that perfect makro build out.

Not even close O_o. Players like Flash and Jaedong dominated the scene for years. There weren't really anyone to stop them. Bogus is great ofc but like all other "dominant" players in sc2 they have fallen from their prime (Mvp, Nestea, MC, DRG, MKP, MMA, Life, and even Innovation he does not seem that dominant anymore) and they dominated scene not even that long. Flash and Jaedong in bw are players who really cannot be compared in today SC2

I think people's impressions of Brood War are sort of skewed by Flash and Jaedong (especially Flash). I wouldn't say that Brood War was as volatile as SC2, but no one player had that long a reign as the clear "best player," prior to Flash. Mvp's period of dominance isn't too different from that of some of the earlier bonjwas.

All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear, and disregards the rest, hm.
