His attitude towards the game is inspiring. No excuses, always wants to improve, doesn't care which tournament or which format. Focus on getting better.

As soon as Blizzard fixes mech he is going to dominate.

Flash fighting!

Flash has a good mindset. No excuses, he lost because he lost, not because of game. I expect him to return to dominance soon once he hit his stride.

Call me impressed. I have never watched any broodwar and neither I like watching terrans in general (normally I'm a protoss guy), but Flash has such an awesome and likable attitude that he gathered a fan once again. I love his modesty. I wish him to win something big in the near future. Nobody deserves it more.

this interview released my doubts about flash's overall mindset towards the game and the scene. good to know flash is still flash. fighting indeed!

thanks for translating

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.

Of course, and I'm not a Flash fan (in fact, I didn't watch any BW and I don't think he is good). But you act as if there is no good solution and Blizzard is doing everything they can.

There was a successful WCS system, and they replaced it with an inferior one. So when he says he it was a complete failure after the first season of WCS was so successful, it stands to reason.... (I'll let you fill in the blank). Logic goes a long way.

Furthermore, the the community has explained to Blizzard in oh so many ways that region locking is a necessity (regions were locked in the first season of WCS) and has given many other suggestions to improve WCS. But Blizzard has ignored the advice of the community, and basically said that everything was fine.

Flash saying it is a complete failure is evidence to the community and Blizzard that everything isn't fine, and that Blizzard is wrong.

We all need to call a spade a spade here, and call WCS what it is: a failure. The sooner Blizzard realizes that, the better. So the question remains: are you listening Blizzard? Sure, you read this and hear us, but are actually listening?

I doubt it. Assuming he's talking mainly about Korea, WCS has been a complete failure. If anything, it's made SC2 less popular in Korea than it was when there was just GSL/OSL. Blizzard fucked with the prize pools, and diluted the amount of skilled players. A lot of really great players that would normally be in GSL are now "taking the easy way out" by going for WCS EU/AM.

Because some has the right to complain about his job? And hes not the only one

It doesnt take a philosophy to see that we have less starcraft to watch and players have less chances & money to earn, not to mention all the (arguably related) disbanding/retirement. Does that read "failure" to you?

I don't understand. There are so many SC2 tournaments. There are WCS games almost almost every week. We also have Dreamhack, IEM, Homestory Cup, and Redbull tournaments. There are also teamleagues (Proleague, GSTL, and Acer Cup). Blizzard has poured extra prize money into the scene.

As for the game's popularity in Korea. I'm not sure what can be done. Broodwar was a cultural phenomenon in Korea. There are a glut of eZ free online games now. So Broodwar level popularity is probably unattainable for SC2. Still, maybe good marketing for LoTV and more Blizzard prize money could help somewhat.

That is like saying you don't understand why people say the department store Sears isn't doing well because you see so many of them around...

Well Retirement could be cause of Kespa entering into the scene.
There was place for ~150 players (and ~30 top players) in KR before Kespa came. So with Kespa entrance, players have to leave.

Flash not impressed.

He is right, WCS 2013 forcing their methods and rules over tournaments that were already successful and established is silly.
I hope Blizzard feeds the tournaments, all of them, not just a 'special partner' in each region.

Most importantly, the major tournaments in Korea like PL need help to start off (hasn't really kicked off in sc2).

WCS could still be "in charge" by just giving out WCS points to however they want (hopefully way more to Korea with OSL, GSL, PL).

I dont buy into that bs anymore. Facts are: the game stalls, some lost interest, LoL is the shit, the system sucks, world's economy sucks. Please fix (not the last one though)
