Maru does well for three months after three years of middling performances and people think he's better than Flash? I'm just saying that you shouldn't overrate Maru and sOs based on recent performances I'd easily bet for Flash to do better this season than Maru. you don't write off Flash after one slump and that he is considerably more talented than Maru i think flash may do better than maru in PL, but flash is not better than maru, nor is he guaranteed to do better as you've been saying. being a better player does not guarantee you a better record in PL. plus you follow up with this ridiculous question lol Why does Flash have so many anti-fans? I believe that Flash is the fundamentally better player, that doesn't mean he is always going to have better form than Maru. What did I say that was inconsistent? Maru's play improved, and he did better (and played better) than Flash for a period of a few months, although some of that is because he had more chances to show his skill, however it's highly questionable whether he can maintain peak form and I also believe that if Flash returns to peak ability he will be better than Maru and that this will be evidenced by him doing better in PL than Maru. And Flash having anti-fans is obvious when you look at many posts in this thread. If you have the time to go through my post history to check for quotes then surely you can check for anti-Flash comments in this thread. If 99% of the posts say, that Maru>Flash and 1% say Flash>Maru, than 99% of the forum users are Flash anti-fans. There is no way, that the 1% are Flash fanboys, right? There is no anti-fanboyism here, we are just defending the obvious truth. If opterown and Zealously, Startale and Prime are standing united against your opinion, that is a high indicator, that your opinion is just irrational.
Here are some of the posts I was thinking of, not necessarily Zealously&opterown's posts.

Flash had to deal with a Parting Life Innovation RO16 group while Jaedong got 2-0d by theognis in the first round of WCS NA Challenger and dropped a game to Drunkenboi. Jaedong was looking for his motivation which he found. Flash chose the easy way with the high salary and taken care of team house. Give JD props for trying out something new.

can't flash fans employ a wait and see policy, or is really necessary to argue his condition.
right now, maru's results speak louder than flash's...Bringing up his BW achievements mean nothing here and now.

So Maru's win was a miracle run BUT Flash's MLG run is proof of his ability.
Right.

Okay so Flash sucks, but what if he joined Prime?

Maru's a good player, and nobody is saying otherwise. But aside from his miracle run, he's not racking up any huge achievements, and in the context of the whole of 2013, he hasn't really shown himself to be a super dominant player that's leagues ahead of Flash, as many here seem to be painting the portrait as.

exactly how many all-kills does flash have in SC2?
2 all-kills, one of EG-TL, another of CJ compared to Maru's 1 all-kill, a 6-0 of StarTale -> hardly something you split either way.
exactly how many 4-0's does flash have in SC2?
1
haha this guy. you should check stats before spouting stuff off.

That was just to counter the ridiculous claim that Flash was never good at "any part of HotS". I think the real proof of his skill is his Proleague performance. He hasn't had a particular hit in individual leagues, but literally nobody can name a single player that's had overall harder groups than he has, except maybe PartinG.

His "dozen" all-kills are exactly 2. And 4-0ing your group is not the same as winning your tournament, otherwise, I would have to go count Marus 4-0s as well and I am to lazy for that. And mentioning Maru´s "weak" victory at Asia Starcraft League, when Flash lost to every other korean attending Asian indoor games as well as a taiwanese player, is not that good of a point either.

Ok let's bet, i bet that maru will have a better record in proleague than flash at the end of the season + better individual results aswell.
We could bet about a 2 months signature or something.

ITS A DUMB ARGUMENT!
no really, it is, because the bottom line is SC2 community values Individual league performances to teamleague performances and flash while being very solid lacks a title while maru at least has one.

Oops, he only went 4-0 once. Confused the memory of when he went 4-1 in the Ro32 in Season 3, and 2-0 (when they were Bo1) in OSL. So he crushed three groups, and proceeded to be placed in the hardest group in the Ro16 every time. I'm not saying any of those players that beat him were worse by any means, that's just the reason why he's a Ro16 hero this year.
Really, that's not any indication at all of his skill. Going 44-21 in Proleague is. By comparison, Bogus when he was the strongest he's ever been in his career went 43-20, Rain went 36-22, and sOs went 32-15. It's especially striking because Bogus, Rain, and sOs were all strong players on a really strong team, whereas Flash was the target of every sniper -- Zest and Stats were never really seen as big as threats as he was.

Flash may not be the best player , but he will still probably get the most win award or be close for it just , because of his experience and hard work . It would be a big shocker if he is out of top 3 or 5 in Proleague . He has been there from like what ever since he joined Proleague ? Maru could probably get top 10 .
Guys here are mistaken the format of the leagues , one is a 2-3 day tournament the other is an year long , there is a difference .

Screw you guys, you killed Grumbels. ..for two weeks

So from what I can tell from the thread, this "Proleague" thing is a Flash vs Maru showmatch?
