I wouldn't mind a decline in foreign tournaments, I can't even watch all of them. The mentality of interviews from Korea is really discouraging though, expected more fighting spirit from them.

It's hard to maintain a fighting spirit when the game you play for a living isn't even popular or receiving much local community support. It surely must be a struggle to motivate yourself to keep playing. Flash is Flash so obviously his drive is higher than most but at some point, he might eventually cave in like Bisu, Jangbi and the other ex-BW pros did.

Q: After today's WCS, your WCS games this year are finished.

Flash: Since I wasn't able to make it out of the Ro16, I don't have any big things to complain about. I've been hearing a lot of grumbling and complaints about the WCS format, and of course I don't think the format is great either. When it was first announced, I had a lot of hopes. At the time, I heard that the format wasn't going to differ much from the LoL World Cup so there was a bit of disappointment. I've heard that they are improving it for the future, so I'll have to wait and see. This season, with the decline in even foreign tournaments, I think has to be thought of as a complete failure.
(emphasis added)

That was the quote of the article for me, right there.

my favorite part

Q: Any last words?

Flash: Other players are criticizing that the winners of Code A can't seed to Code S next season. But I don't have this luxury. My focus is to improve my skill and performance. Whether there is seed or not is not important. Even if it starts with the qualifiers, I will do it again and make it.


he can only get better still, really. onwards and upwards Flash

Man, I admire this guy so much. Even if he wasn't playing a game I loved, I would still look up to him for his attitude.

There's a reason I cheer for you, Flash. GL with your preparations for 2014, man.

Flash mindset is the mindset of the ultimate champion. And I think it should elevate him to the top once more, given enough time. The guy just doesn't care about anything than being the best.

The WCS format is shit . I am sorry blizzard but making a league above the others is just not wise. I much prefer the 2012 format just like Blizzcon

I really enjoy watching Flash play, surprised he hasn't had more success given his experience and how committed he is.

I expect a lot from him in 2014.

From what I gathered he didn't practice SC2 that hard for a long time (compared to his insane BW practice schedule anyway) but has recently picked up the pace.

Does anybody have any idea around when the next season will start? I hope that this time off will be what Flash really needs to get to the next level.

I'm also looking forward to next season, but not sure whether this year the foreign tournaments really declined. I mean, the prize money handed out over all events is more or less the same than last year, isn't it?

edit: hm, maybe not.

Well at least it's clear Flash is here to stay (in sc2) and won't be on afreeca any time soon! The hopes for a new Jaedong vs Flash rivalry next season lives on.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

God has spoken.

Are you listening Blizzard?

No, because there's nothing to learn from that statement. If he made reasonable suggestions, sure, then it might be worth listening to. Otherwise his complaints are just as useless as a random TL poster.
edit - I love Flash too, so don't get me wrong. Just don't blindly think everything he says is worth gold, things he says should be kept to the same reasonable standard as anybody else
Refer to my post.

Hopefully tanks get buffed in a bigger way than they said and Flash can go back to being the king of mech again. If that happens I'll be a very happy man next season.

Flash and SKT keeping the game alive for me :p
