I think he's about mid Code S level. Mechanically he's about even with a non-injured Mvp, but I think he lacks the familiarity that top tier Code S players have with the other races, and he definitely doesn't have Mvp's game sense. He's close, but not quite there yet. If HotS wasn't coming out soon, I would say Flash would definitely be top 3 within another 6 months. After that, probably just straight up the best. | ||

Mvp's mechanics are overrated imo, Flash has him covered there I believe! Mvp's game sense (like you stated), decision making, build order choices etc are all great, he has v.good micro, solid multitasking and good macro, at least in my worthless opinion. | ||

I dont know how the map order is decided but it indeed played a role in the match. Also Gsl uses cloud kingdom, daybreak and whirlwind while PL doesn't use Daybreak or cloud kingdom. Plz cosider these factors. | ||

It had the names and the hype. but yes there are a bunch of other groups that look as strong to me. Even group B would seriously test him, nothing is guaranteed! | ||

So if player is not in Code S then this person is not Code S level. I surprised that so many people arguing about this. | ||

It was obvious to anyone who wasn't biased at the first of it anyways; there's a reason Flash is the most dominant player in BW of all time, its the way he is as a person, regardless if he played CS or LoL or anything he would still be amazing, and hes going to be the most feared SC2 player in 2013. He is a special talent. Can't say the same for most of the other Kespa players outside of the top 10-15 or so. For them, GSL Code S players are still going to dominate them. Right now its number of games; he is unfamiliar with situations at a top-level (stuff you don't see in ladder) and that'll come with time. Im sure he'll never forget a bunker after his fast CC now! Things like that, you have to learn the hard way. Once he learns those ins and outs of SC2, he'll be insane, as his gamesense, macro and micro are already top notch. | ||

I think Flash's biggest problem is that he is predictable. That being said, when people let him macro super hard early game and allow him to play his game (what the first three members of EG-TL let him do), then he dominates. Other top Terrans--both KeSPA and GOM--have been more flexible. The most flexible player, I would say, is Mvp, and that is part of why he is so successful. If Flash broadens his strategy selection and becomes less predictable (honestly, even the cheese in the fourth game was a bit predictable) then he could become one of the best. | ||

He is obviously not upper level code S or he would be in Code S at least one of those times. He is lower end and thus still prone to falling out of it. | ||
