Can you actually NOT eat the bait and stop talking about BW vs SC2 and start focusing on FlaSh? I am a SC2 hater and yet not bashing the game here because simply it is not the right time to do so!

Thanks for the translation/Interview! Really great input! I love the interview style and Flash responses seem to be really honest about what he says. Love it!

LoL just another BW ELITE hinting BW best game ever dont take the bait. Lol every time I see comments like this all I think about is The bigger bother acting out because the baby is getting more attention.

and to the OP Ty for translation very cool to hear his thoughts GL FLASH you'll be great in your next chapter if its anything like the last.


I've actually not played BW more than a couple of campaign missions. I haven't even followed the pro-scene in BW.

I jumped into Starcraft when WoL was released.

Going forward.

My question was an honest one. His greatest achivements in his career was MSL and OSL, or are there other ones that you consider are bigger achivements he should have displayed?

While there is bw elitism around, this post wasn't one... noone would argue his bw titles were the greatest achievement in HIS career... practice basic comprehension before you trash post.


I also read it in the same way that s/he did and it seemed like an sc2 trashing post. Quick dig into posting history confirms it as there are many others.

"Sometimes I think about the epic, legendary games not played since 2012. The talent of Jaedong, Flash, Fantasy, Storku and Jangbi wasted at their primes on SC2. As there is a parallel universe where Blizzard never decided to make SC2 so that we could have enjoyed TBLS duke it out more. Considering how many legendary games each year have been produced, it is a travesty to have such talents waste their time."


that particular statement is true though (with the only exception being JD). if BW had never ended Flash would easily have added more OSL titles to his collection and surpass July and Nada, he is still very young then.

Sure, and you could say such things without the "fuck sc2" attitude if
it is a travesty to have such talents waste their time

This is how I read it. You don't have to go looking for reasons to get upset when what he said is perfectly factual. Just because he bashes sc2 sometimes doesn't make every post a bash.

I knew flash was good after I saw him play his first two starleagues. Knew he was the real deal after he won bacchus. Held on to that belief during his almost 2yr "slump" when haters were happy to declare him a fluke / one-hit wonder. Was rewarded with his ascent to true God mode in late 2009, where he blew away all expectations from even his most hard core fans/believers.

So if you don't want us to say anything about SC2, why is this article posted on the SC2 forum, even though most of his career and almost all of the article is BW related? Why not post it in the BW forum? I basically configured tl.net so that I see only BW stuff, yet I need to get this thread linked from the BW forum.

Also it is the perfect time to do so. I doubt that Flash would have retired in 2015 when there was only BW.

What a great read. Thanks for the translation, DCStarcraftGall!
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

This thread is a shining example of how the quality of the TL forums greatly decreased after Kespa switched to SC2, the BW forums especially. Nowadays it's almost as bad as Reddit.

On topic: Thanks for the translation. Unfortunately he doesn't really say much of interest, I'm looking forward to whatever he decides to do next.

The Best 3 Times (Picked by Flash)
1. 2007 Daum Starleague Ro16 (vs Light)
I practiced until 5 AM with Coach Hery because I was so nervous. It was my debut match.
2. 2009 June 30 Shinhan Proleague (vs BraQ/firebathero) 5set Ace match
I think I understood something about Starcraft after this match. I won almost everything after this point.
3. 2011 ABC Mart MSL Champion.
Starleague and MSL combined, it was my 6th victory, and I felt many things

Are these the correct vods for 1 & 2?

This must have been in the first years after BWs release. If anyone asks for a good reason for South Korea's dominance in Starcraft...

I would doubt any other progamer saying that, but in Flash's case... might be true.

One of the many questions the fans asked was about Flash’s SCBW return. Many players who had achieved stardom have lost fans due to their questionable behavior on live streams and there was concern about Flash going down that road as well.


What is this in reference to?

Flash left Brood War before he left SC2. Given that he was an active player in one and not the other, it seems fairly obvious why it was posted in this forum and not the other.
