EPTAlso i remember when flash won the GOM TV tourney without losing a single game, but JWD still didn't put him on top of the power rank that month. Shame on you, never forget!

Watching Flash play at his peak was almost surreal, his dominance filled me with that special kind of awe that only the biggest legends of any sport or competition could. Glad to have been following the scene when he was around. | ||

This was however an excellent summary of Flash and his dominance. Great read, and bonus points for the interesting annotations. | ||

Then Nal_Ra who was strong enough to justify saying that sAviOr's ZvP wasn't just statistics but actual quality. And JangBi who dominated Brood War when Flash perhaps didn't care anymore. Also Stork was also mentioned but he really was a Bomber of the era. The thing about Protoss was that the race was more map dependent than Terran or Zerg. Protoss also has to (at some level) innovate and trick opponents with openings where as Zerg and Terran can open the same way every game and be completely fine. Protoss is harder to find consistent streaks, where their style dominates for a period of time until it's figured out. You'll see seasons where Protoss dominates thanks to maps and they fix that the season after. This is a big reason you see so many Terran and Zerg player Bonjwas who were dominant over a period of time instead of Protoss. The other fact is that the best players in Starcraft: Broodwar have truly played Terran and Zerg (mostly Terran). Bisu is great, obviously, but I agree he is not the best ever. P.S. I basically discount everything after 2010 in terms of greatness because SC2 was out and the scene truly changed and skill level dropped TREMENDOUSLY as top players transitioned to SC2 and stopped practicing SC:BW. | ||

Agreed with mostly everything you said, except this only applies to Terran. Many "zerg bonjwas"? There's only ever been one (savior). | ||

Kim Carry: "People think SK Terran [Bio] isn't very good, but Flash is like: 'Why isn't it good?' 'Once I do it it's completely different!' " | ||
