Flash is great, but he was especially good at beating Jeadong in finals. At a time when Jeadong was the best (so he would beat everyone else for Flash), that was especially valuable. I wonder if Jaedong was not there, if Flash's dominance would have been quite as staggering.

If Tyrant wasn't there Flash could grab 2 more trophies - 4th OSL and MSL. Also he lost to JD 2008 GomTV starleague which was pretty important tournament. Same rule if God wasn't there JD could grab 4th OSL and 3rd and after then 4th MSL. Flash robbed two times Jaedong's triple MSL champion achievment golden badge.

Waxangel you have a typo/mistake. Should be "god", not "God". God with capital is the only one christian God while there can be many gods, each one of his own domain so Flash cant be "God" but he can be "god".

I always thought/had a feeling that in that GOMTV StarLeague (s1) when Flash obliterated Savior from a seemingly hopeless position (natural cc lifted, the zerg muta harassing effectively) on Blue Storm, and when Flash beaten oov on Beakmagoji in a mass vult tvt, meant eternal slump for both savo and oov.
edit: Not sure off or not, but I think I`ll share it. I seen a couple of posts claiming whoever was the best player. We have to consider time and other important factors into this (like the map styles completely changed from the beginning).
As all sports/games do evolve in their lives. First we had a Boxer with his great insight, innovations and magic tricks, superb micro, etc. He got surpassed by a generation of "more complete" players, they already had those properties what made they predecessors great, they didn`t had to put too much tgought into the game, but they had a more round execution, better overall mechanics, faster hands. Like the era of Nada/oov, etc. The game evolved, we had some innovators on the way, but mainly the better players were the mechanically better (I`m not talking about apm). The game nowdays rewards the mechanically better players. This is normal evolution.
If we take glance at the chess world, the majority of good gms have a pretty solid knowledge of theory. Theory what the predecessors (or computers) had to put thought into. Today gms don`t have to. The fifth move of a sicilian maybe was a new thing for somebody back in the day, and in the present (some years ago) Vishi won a 40 move game against Carlsen from pure preparation with the computer and assistants. Chess is pretty rewarding for players who have great work ethics, great memory, the percentage what talent counts decreases. Give me any 4 year old, and I bet you, I`ll make him chess GM. Take a look at bodybuilding: in the early years we had great physics with symmetry. The only facet in which the bodybuilders could improve was mass and dryness. So they grew bigger and bigger (while ruining their symmetry completely), we now have Ronnies and Phils with GH guts, going to the stage half dead (literally).
All these have some (same) things and points in common, while a sport`s/game`s scene getting better, the competition getting harder, you`ll have fewer and fewer rooms to improve, and these "rooms" will be accentuated over everything else.

Yh Neeb is the new god of disruptors
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Great article, however Flash was not able to best NaDa in, perhaps the most important factor to determine the greatest player of all time, NaDa's body will remain strong.

Next you need to write about the real God elfi

True. But its not near what it was when I was heavily into the game. Its different now, and I am different. I have a family, self employed and a fraction of the free time I used to have. Maybe the better term is: I miss the old days.
