I joined the community too late to ever know how great Flash was, but I feel the loss anyway. I expect a few tears to be shed while watching the ceremony isn't bisu in the military? | ||

Nothing of the sort is even hinted at in the official announcement. And Jaedong and Stork are active SC2 pros. So I don't think that's what he meant. | ||

You make it sound like Flash stepped on the scene and could have won everything, but he cheesed people like Bisu for a reason, and you can see how tense and nervous he was in many Vods from his first years. He even talked in interviews about how hard it was to cope with all the pressure the teamcoaches put on him - that they did of course because he was such a prodigy, that's true. Flash struggled quite a bit at times before his super-dominance in 2010, even though everyone recognized his position among the top players. And 14cc (in BW at least) can be seen as quite a cheesy build, eco-cheese just like 12nex. By itself doing it is in no way a sign of skill, rather it can make you look stronger than you are if you get away with it. Flash got known for it and it became a weakness for a certain time before it became a trademark of his dominance because eventually, he truely became unstoppable (but he had to become feared for his broad range of builds and skills before that). I don't get your first post. I guess maybe GSL isn't technically correct, that's SC2? I don't know, I don't follow the sequel. However, I do remember the first real tournament he won was one put on by GomTV, who were newcomers to the scene. And he played against stork in the finals. | ||

However, I do remember the first real tournament he won was one put on by GomTV, who were newcomers to the scene. And he played against stork in the finals. I see now what you mean. I thought you were talking about Flash's first OSL championship against Stork and you called it GSL by accident (as this is the SC2 forum; afaik GSL is like the equivalent to OSL/MSL). From your answer I see that that couldn't have been the case. ^^ Checking out his early match history vs Stork I see that there's the GOMTV Star Invitational that he won, just like you said, prior to his OSL triumph. I never heard the term "GSL" used for something else than the SC2-tournaments by that name, so I was confused. There are no Vods for that Invitational though so I didn't watch it when I went through all of Flash's games (I didn't follow BW back then, I envy you  ).Also that match-list reminded me that Flash got knocked out by Stork from two different OSLs in 2007 before, I kind of repressed that lol. | ||

"boing boing" is him making cutesy noises (lots of female viewers) and basically asking for money. (Though, at the time of the post, he was playing BW. I was just joking about the boing) "Going full afreeca" as it is sometimes called was/is kind of looked down upon by some. | ||
