Yeah they could have asked some more in depth questions.

Seems like the interviewer had a set of pre-planned questions. The majority of which were either yes or no or just list answers.

A lot of the questions were good openings that could have generated good content if they were followed up on. Like this one:

Flash: BW tanks and SC2 tanks.

The perfect opportunity to ask a question where you could get more content: why?

Flash was under very short time constraints so we couldn't pry more detailed answers from him. Busy busy man.

also if Flash is so confident in his TvT I wonder why they still sent Zest as ace when it wasnt a stretch to assume Maru would come out for Jin Air?

Flash's best matchup being TvT doesn't mean it's good enough to defeat Maru. Flash isn't a particularly strong player these days*.

* Compared to the top echelon, obviously. If you compare him to your average ladder player, he's clearly an absolute freak - as is everybody in Code A+.

Eh... Maybe if the questions were purely about strategy, this would've been pretty good. But the fluff questions weren't very interesting, and it's clear he's not terribly interested in the foreign scene or in discussing much of game design.

every flash interview is the same. broad professionalism plus some vague dissatisfaction with the game.

Cool to see an interview from Flash, but yeah, all the answers were cookie cutter generic pro-gamer responses. Only thing a little surprising was that he seems to definitely want to return to BW [eventually].
the absence of evidence, is not the evidence of absence.

Please create your very own dream team. What would be that team’s name? Why did you pick those players?


Flash: I would pick a team consisting of me, Jaedong, Bisu, and Stork.
Our team’s name would be TaekBangLeeSsang.
I picked this team because I think we would be the most popular ㅋㅋㅋ.


Haha i see. That team probably wouldn't do very well though -.-

In SC2 probably not

in BW they would've been godly

I wouldn't include ultras in that list. I'm pretty sure their LotV armour is somewhere around the bunker build time.

Meh... I really think they can't say much about the team and the game, not that they don't want to, but must be unwritten or unknown to us rules from Kespa or something. He did open up more about private matters such as friends and such which was great.

Not too surprising. Flash's tank use in Brood War was pretty incredible.

Flash won his first title at the tender age of 16. Even though he's now only 22 years of age

That would mean he won his first tournament 6 years ago in 2009. He won the Bacchus OSL in March, 2008 at the incredible age of 15. So just off by one year

He mentions returning to BW one day. That's the only part I needed to hear
