You can see Flash superiority all over the game the new move that we seen in here is after Flash won the battle in 6 o clock posision Ruby didn't follow by a drop in there to take that posision back (he 'left' the expo there to Flash) he did a center push in the up middle that was the only time we seen Flash forces outplayed running back to his base, Ruby could take a defending posision and hold that advantage a really nice move worth to focus. Ruby didn't managged to hold that posision but Also the 6 o clock expo 'saved' that way from this move.

Bonus tip : The running back was telling us that Flash didn't hade enough forces to hold these posisions and maybe not the time to build more (exposed) there was that we seen the gg
If ruby also was "washed up" couse he lost many battles from Flash exellent play we will never know but that move 'won' the game, 10nx Ruby.

Ps: A Flash vod boring ? your jumps to conclusion are boring. Think again, i never seen a better player my judgment on that is based: Flash managged to move his forces from 6 o clock to 12 o clock lost posision by running and recapture this posision!! He also was playing with less expos!! Spear me the details Point is cya in the next Flash game.

I love Jaedong. Imo he is a clear bonjwa, wtf look at his titles. Only thing is his prime was abit shadowed by bisu/flash/stork but still...

The point I'm trying to prove is past bonjwas did lose games here and there.
So that statement is reaaaaly stupid, thus the video.

Show nested quote +

no... i'd more compare him to yooi, saint, control, cloud etc.
point is: Ruby started of with 14cc, played a solid game and won. That doesn't merrit such absurd comments this thread has gotten.

Some people can't get it out of their head that Flash's winratio is actually better than any of the bonjwas so if you are going to say he got no shot at bonjwa atleast don't say it's because he lost a game.

He's not a Bonjwa because of the controversy. Even if he does do better than previous Bonjwas, it's expected now. Being a Bonjwa isn't about the stats - it's about the atmosphere, and the previous ones brought that feeling of "This guy WILL win, he is THE best" whereas Jaedong, Flash, etc... still have chances to lose here and there and they aren't seen by everyone as completely and utterly dominant.

It's more about the perception and less about the statistics.

I'd like to see FPV of Ruby, I wonder if he controlled that or just fluked it, lol.

And to the "BO win" people, watch 8:20 of that same video. Flash has the greater army and concedes control of the centre. At 9:00 mins they clash in the middle, 3 tanks each and Flash has 8 vults to Ruby's 7. Outproduced by 14CC you say?

Rewatching that game, Ruby played completely flawlessly. There are several times where he does something really small, like patroll attack an uninjured tank with a small group of vultures as they ran by, that let his own tanks win the tank battle with minimal shots etc. The ridiculous mine-targetting at 12:10 is obviously the flashiest bit of micro from this game, but the overall play was absolutely brilliant.

I find it interesting that even Jaedong has said that Ruby has some of the absolute best micro in the game - it's just that Ruby has nerve issues and has never been able to consistently play to his full potential. I'd love to see him fully overcome his fears and play as well as he occasionally demonstrates, because a Ruby occasionally puts out completely S-tier games like this one.

I'm very, very happy because of it.
