See, this is why Flash was so good in bw: Be aware of weaknesses and strength's and overcome what seems imbalance with training harder. This is the right attitude.

You say this but in previous interviews he has been pretty whiny. I remember back not too long after the KeSPA switch Flash was already whining about Protoss :/.


Yes, he has, but even then he also talked a lot about his weaknesses and strengths. In BW he never really whined though, he just conquered all, so that's definitely a bad change when he switched to SC2. It must be frustrating to be clearly the best at some point, but then suddenly all the rules change and you're "just a great player". The matchup that changed the most for him is probably TvP, so it makes sense that he feels the least comfortable playing that, hence his complaints.



You do realise he was the best player of an OP race in BW?

Of course the adjustment to SC2 is difficult to take.


any race can be OP when you're literally the best player in the game.

Haha flash vs parting the new best rivalry in sc2. I suppose David Kim taking flash's input on balance isn't a bad thing, untill he thinks Zerg is OP TT

Not really a rivalry IMO. It's more like Flash is PartinG's win pinata and Flash doesn't like that he is a confident personality too. Someone who's better than you and makes a show of it isn't going to be someone to get along with easily.
PartinG fanboy to the max, Rain/Squirtle/Dear/Scarlett/Bbyong are cool too. I don't always watch Dota2 but when I do I have no clue what's going on. GOGO POWER RANGERS

It happened again at TvP Race Wars. And Stork v Flash it happened again - sort off.

Flash didn't seem entirely serious when he was talking about the ceremony but maybe that was just the translation/my interpretation. And rivalries can be one sided at times. There have been times when ohio state has beaten michigan many years in a row. But it is still a great rivalry. If flash gets up to that level it will be very exciting because we will probably see ceremonies regardless of who wins

One of the balance changes he is referring to as DK listening to is probably the Tank buff. I hope to see Flash playing mech TvP some day.

Too keep the predominantly male audience entertained between the games, and oh, also to degrade women into objects of sexual desire.

But in TvP, you need to be completely ready for all-ins. It is a huge headache.


HOW DOES IT FEEL?!

Why is flash sending emails to david kim, is he being serious? I would think that it's not a healthy activity for a progamer.

Nobody wants to talk about it because it leads to discussions like this.
