It's worth mentioning that even though Flash has been dominating since the patch, he rarely, if ever, uses widow mines. In fact, I believe in the grand finals, he did not build a single one.

The mine buff only changes TvZ really any ways.

So weird, i checked the bracket.

It said MC->Flash with 2-1, so i thought flash was out. This made me not watch the tournament and now it says he won the tournament. I would have watched him play if i knew he was still in it

He doesn't use them much in TvZ, either. just really good splitting with Thor for muta. although the Thor was slightly buffed for the air targeting.

Vods were worth watching IMO (wasn't able to watch live)... but might be harder to watch after reading this. (I did know Flash won before watching semi-finals, but nothing else (opponents or score).

And it all started in Toronto.

On his first day, he lost to MC.

On his second day, he struggled against Snute and Taeja.

But on the third day, he rose again.


When did he struggle vs Taeja? I did not see this xD
Also i need to watch VODs as i missed angry guy man.

As much as I want to be on the "Flash hype train" I simply cannot. He plays so boring style to watch I cannot help myself(also he has the most annoying fans there) but to hope it is his last tournament win and he won't be flying anywhere. As much as I love Maru/Bomber/MVP/Taeja I don't like Flash. And I don't care how good his mechanics are, I want to see entertaining games - same way I don't like watching Rain. Am I the only one or what?

Though I have to admit, that there are more boring players(Hi, Snute). Victory deserved though, he played better. The games I saw, then I turned it off. Congratz anyway
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

I am so happy for flash! Wow such a relief this is. All his struggles and hard work for 2 years has finally paid off. I am sure he is feeling great now, I wish other bw legends like stork and fantasy would have the willand mental strenght to do what flash is doing. What a champion flash is, what an icon! Boxer tried to do the same at the beginning of sc2 but he was too old to compete with the much younger players and had some back problems ifi can remember. But he gave huge publicity to sc2 noone can deny that. Now it's flash's turn to save esports!!

You're just a Flash hater, admit it! Flash has tons of entertaining games. He destroyed Taeja's main base with 3 vikings LOL. Go watch some bronze players play entertaining games. Gimmicky play is not entertaining for me. Flash plays entertaining games when he has equally skilled opponents face him, if not he just stomps lower skilled players. It's soo funny to see everyone scared to go macro games vs him. It's not his fault that his opponents just wants to rush him and fail miserably. Just look at Snute. He kept saying his strategy vs Terran was unbeatable but when he faced Flash he just all in him 5 games in a row.
PS: About the "annoying fans". He deserves all the praise he got. You do realize that this guy was the most dominant Brood War player of all time right? In his peak period he had 90% winrate in all match-ups (70%+ winrate over all his career).
Game Over, Man! Game Over!

Flash's entire IEM run has been one of the most variable in the history of HotS, he does a lot of different openings and compositions in all matchups, I'm not sure whether we are watching the same game.

Lol. He won a tournament. Winning a tournament doesn't come to close to the level where bonjwa speculations should reasonably begin.

Could someone please explain to me why going to blizzcon is so god damn important? I've read up on the WCS system but ultimately the global finals is just another tournament with a lot of prize money. Why does it have to be brought up every other sentence? It is really tiring to hear casters and writers going on and on and on and on about blizzcon.

Flash incredible mechanics are exactly what makes his games so amazing, not because he just macro's better, no, he is able to do stuff on an entire different level of mechanics that very few can explore, doing what no other can.
