ok I make this real simple.
Just because the best Guitarrist of all times is also seen as the greatest musician does not mean he is the greatest: Drummer, Bass player, Violinist, Pianist etc.etc.etc. Yes with enough practice he can become that but it doesn't matter before he practiced.
how hard is it to understand that SC2 IS NOT Broodwar!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

the fact you're asking that question in that manner shows you don't undestand what strategy really is.
Strategy is strategy. It is not exclusive to a particular rts game. you can apply the same principles of strategy to any strategical game or warfare simulation etc.

However learning German will help you learn Dutch for example but you still need to put a lot of time in it until you can speak it fluently. In this example French is WC3 and Dutch Command and Conquers. German = BW and Dutch = SC II If you are great at one thing you will never be as good at another thing without putting time in that as well.
lol whaaaat are you talking about? very silly point first of all, but come on, have you still not learned grammar? you don't understand something "good"... You know what, on second thought grammar is probably lost on you.

It is reasonable to complain about lategame TvP as a Terran, but the fact Flash complained about gateways/forcefields makes him look like someone who just isn't yet used to all the new starcraft2 tricks.

yeah but what you people do is that you value Flash's opinion on WC3 right now more than Grubby's. Which is retarded and the reason I close TL.net for today.

Its hard to understand because you are not addressing the points previously made. No one said he was the greatest at all RTS games. I said he had a better understanding of the genre than most. Im not sure if jimmy hendrix could play the drums but I bet he would be better at it than you or I. So flash may not bet the best SC2 player but he has a better understanding of RTS games then some random TL posters.

Great interview, love the part where he wants to play in a lot of global tournaments.

Thanks for the translation
Do you know anything about the other teams? I heard Woongjin's Neo.G_Soulkey was good. The others are an unknown quantity. It's all a secret. Everything is kept under wraps. Even between friends. I think everyone's just pretending (to be crying). This new proleague is going to be strange.
By the way about the balance comments: I think pre-nerf ghosts would have been way too powerful in the hands of Flash.

This is you: "First of all, you made a minor error after midnight in a foreign language and I disrespect you for that."
Great arguments you got their bitch.
Where is your second? Where is anything? Fuck off, I hope we both get a weeklong ban for this because otherwhise I will keep answering to retards like you.

Don't ACTUAL results matter? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If Flash wins every single event does that mean Terran is OP?
Nope means he's the best player.
By that Logic No race could ever be OP best players just win every time. So stop whineing about balance Wrong again. You're looking at balance based on a small amount of players. Balance is the race AS A WHOLE. Not 5 players winning the premier tournaments. So you do not base your imbalance claims on results. You do base them on chosing to belive all progamers that say the other races are stronger than the one you play? Or you base them on personal experience, which always is a pretty inaccurate method. Well I do not see any reason to discuss this any further with you.
You are a complete idiot and apparently like to make giant assumptions.
You look at the race as a whole, in other words all the damn players. Not just the top 30 players in the world, all the pro players. You take into account EVERYTHING to determine balance. By just looking at premier results, just the winners of the event and not the overall performance of the race itself in said events you are not determining the balance of the races.

Have you seen the latest statistics of all the matchups over all the ladder? It is what Blizzard calls balanced. Not more than 55% winrate in any matchup on any server.
So... Tell me.. What do you base your imbalance claims on? Because it is clearly not what you just said.

It's okay for random TL forum users to make comments about rts balancing but it's not okay for professional players to? Given the basis that TL forum users also have reporter's bias and personal preference? Where the hell is this coming from. Flash understands BW, Flash understands basic RTS principles that are transferable, Flash has the results and historically shown that he has a deep understanding of a new RTS right after he starts playing it (see his major upsets against Bisu / Stork in 2008 when he was a very new player of BW). He wasn't being asked a question with the preface and intention of consulting his expertise on balance, he was being asked in an interview about his OWN difficulties playing a new game that the team and competitive environment is forcing him to regardless of his own opinion (in this case his own opinion of the game was coincidentally good). Can people just stop with the balance argument.

Flash would get completely stomped by every top player in every single RTS game that isn't Broodwar, yet his opinion is somehow still valid about every single one of them?

nice interview, thanks. i think it is so cool to see how humble flash is, speaking about his sc2 skills! i've been wating for him and jae dong to transition since july 27th, 2010 (that day i messed up an exam^^).
