What is this in reference to?



maybe it's something lost in translation.
i don't really follow bw-streaming aside from favourites but some of the outliers are
terror (no stardom)
jaehoon (not much stardom) for stream cheating, or something along those lines, though it wasn't a huge deal and it happened outside of an actual stream session.

the only person i can think of who could even fit the bill is bisu.
skt1 coach iloveoov made some comments about how it was unbecoming of a sc player like bisu to stream for donations. (not verbatim here, but you get the gist). although i love watching his play even on stream, it does seem a bit like a money grab. again, i don't even know if this fits the bill.

very incredibly likely i'm missing some key info, but this is why i say it might be lost in translation.

So those bad results did take a big toll on him after all. Also I wish our expectations for him to do well weren't a burden or pressure at all.. Flash we only wanted to see you play T_T.

---

There is always someone upset that "why is this posted in the SC2 forums and not BW?!".

While I understand the frustration because you are forced to browse content you don't like in order to find the news that you want, I don't understand why you come here bashing the game, arguing with other posters and playing the fool saying "oh but those are true facts" instead of leave a comment on the Website Feedback thread.
(The analogy of the bigger brother and the baby seems quite on point.)

hes more or less talking about bisu but there are a few guys who have been streaming for so long and haven't succumbed to outright asking for donations, like Mind or guys like larva who now generally has a more serious attitude towards the game and therefor does not do weird stuff like jump out of a window....Really it comes down to your personal preference, if you want to be that guy who entertains for money then cool.

in the end though flash will probably stream if for no reason other than to satisfy his fans, hes just that kind of guy, my only hope is that he doesn't go "full afreeca".

I also told my family and Rain as well. Rain’s one of the most trustworthy guys I know. I told him I really wanted to help my team win this year. Well, I failed though.


I love how Flash and Rain are so close despite being the faces of KT and SKT throughout most of SC2 and the intense rivalry between the two teams. Pure class from both guys. I hope Flash finds a role coaching KT in some manner pretty soon; he is a perfect example for others of what it should mean to be a professional gamer and how to conduct yourself.

Speaking of Rain, I hope he's not thinking of retiring as well. Haven't seen him since HOTS ended, no streaming, no tournament participation. :/

Anyway, did Flash do military service yet? Or is exempt because of his contributions to the esports scene? I really want to see him in PL as a coach. Forgive my ignorance if it's common knowledge.

I'm going to have to go home an watch some old Flash VoDs. Are there any good english casts of Flash BW matches? I'm sure there's something out there, I've just had no luck finding it.

Ahh........same as what the writer feeling.

I thought Flash retire is impossible . He is like never give up he will be the best SC2 player in the world.

That is what I always believe in .

So when I saw retire, my heart explode.

So sad day. Now need to find another player to root for . . .

But , there is no player to replace my Flash

Ahh............really none . . .

Now my dream, of Flash being Best sc2 player hype train is truely gone

As long as Flash doesn't go full "boing boing" Afreeca like Bisu has, all is good.

Man I just hope he comes back as coach for KT. If he does, this feeling that something is lost would go away. It'd be an even greater challenge for him. I would start enjoying every single KT game on a whole new level. And holy shit would they start kicking ass in PL.

So sad. But there are such possibilities. Flash, you're not done making history yet!!

Its quite interesting how people talking "negative" about sc2 are getting temp bans here and people bashing on BW do not even get a warning? Is this a two class community here now?

That's a rather tilted view, but any questions about moderation are best taken to Website Feedback where we can best answer them.
