Well most losses in PL to Flash have been cheese/trick plays. But Flash just really prepares very well for PL | ||

esf vs kespa was not what the article was talking about... + Show Spoiler + I think he was talking about the assumption that the better you are at BW then the better you would be at SC2 => Which was what the article was talking about. With the assumption: MVP => "okay" BW Player/Best SC2 Player And then concluding that: BW Players who were better than MVP will dominate like/more than MVP. That didn't happen. What we have is some Kespa players are better than others but the quality of their skills in BW did not transpose to their quality of skills in SC2. As an example, Flash/JD/Bisu no longer being the top of their races. None of them can even get through Code A it seems. Are they good players? Yes, they are amazing players. But Flash is no longer God and its no longer ZvDong. The actual true conclusion of "its depends on player to player, some will be really good when the transition happens while some won't be as good" is not as exciting a conclusion but is more the truth than the actual hypothesis of the argument. He shouldn't have brought up the elephant though, it never leads to anything productive. + Show Spoiler + This post, for example. | ||

And as of now, Zerg is the predominant race in Code S (11 vs 10 Protoss). Did anyone else watching Flash do a fast 3-CC build against Shine get immediate flashbacks to INnoVation vs. Maru from the last OSL? What is it with these macro KeSPA terrans?! | ||

Read in some interview he was thihking about Protoss, maybe not thnking hard enough? It's not even that P is doing well as of late (which would certainly help) just that maybe he'd be more comfortable to play with it and have some success both inside and outside of PL. He seriously considered switching to zerg when he first transitioned. At this point a race swap is really unlikely. He's still super good, and just on the brink of being elite. I don't think he needs such a drastic change to make it to the top | ||

You just need to go that extra mile to get to code S, I guess. | ||

Or second longest. And Hydra the MSL champ. In the MSL where Flash lost to Ssak. | ||
