I actually think for a new player BW is easier to get into. 
What I mean by that is that due to how UMS and team games were in BW, a lot more casual players could have a blast just playing with their friends, yet still got "into" the game and built up some appreciation for the professional play, even if it's on the most basic level (that's how BW/eSports in Korea worked, and still does, just with other games). In SC2 it's not that inviting and you feel more lonely, which makes it harder again for a complete newb to get into it.
I know of course that the question was aimed at 1v1 ladder, but still.

But he is right. Terran does not even have a variety of all-ins, let alone macro play :D

pretty sure he means for beginners, not the tip top level

would like to see bw legends play more but it is a difficult road ...

Players are the ones who know the scene the most, right? When people around you are talking about the negativity all the time, players will feel ashamed. Who doesn’t know that SC2 is facing difficulties? But even so, telling negativity to the hardworking players will only increase their hardship. There are no players who don’t know about the deteriorating situation, but keeping listening to these will certainly make players exhausted and powerless.
He might as well talk about TL posters the last 3 years. Flash laying out the truth.

Great interview, thanks! Flash brings up some good points. Saying that SC2 is dying helps to kill SC2. It's not, so don't! And it's kind of sad to me that Flash knew his friends would retire for a long time before they actually did. Good luck to Flash!
Since Flash says he gets good results at foreign tournaments, maybe we'll see him go to a bunch in the future

This interview helped me remember how young Flash still is, even after all the years and titles.
I really hope he can get to the Ro4 and have a good result at the Season 3 finals, we really need Flash on Blizzcon!

terran used to have the most diversity back when WOL was released. the numerous nerfs over time though has made terran the most predictable and 1 dimensional races in terms of openings and mid game compositions. kinda sad...

Isn't he just talking about amateurs who are indeed starting to play SC2 and want some sort of advice to play well?
If he is, then that's indeed true, it's much easier in SC2 to reach a decent level where what you do at least look like and feels like what you watch in progames. Mechanically at least.
It's not like it's easy to earn money through playing this game though :D

I dont really trust flash tho..... hes the one that said 300 supply armys would be better? like wtf? him getting bombed out of DH I would imagine his head is in a bad spot right now.

If more ppl had a Bw background even less would (still) be playing SC2. It's tough to drive a Prius once you had a Ferrari.
Just ask all the retirees.

Skill ceiling is a lot lower, so a lot of players are normalized. Even the players do who shine are unnaturally short-lived (Taeja, Innovation).

oh give me a break......teaja showed how much more skilled he is at DH, innovations TvT looked terrible , Flash clearly isnt practicing as much so give it up fan boys.

At least he is realistic about sc2's decline. We could see him switch out to another sport in a year or 2.
