Heart better than Flash... I feel like I'm being trolled.

Bomber coming right after Flash (I'm saying that despite Bomber being my favorite terran of all times <3) Proleague is exactly where people have such huge different views on Flash. Very few watch Proleague almost exclusively, a small minority watches both Proleague and WCS Kr, and a vast majority watch sprinkle of WCS Kr and mostly WCS NA/EU. If you watch only Proleague, it hardly looks like Flash fell off the top. If you watch both PL and WCS KR (GSL) then Flash has been disappointing but is still a top tier player. If you watch WCS NA/EU and mix in VODs of GSL and PL then you think Flash is very far below the top. The Bottom line that people need to realize is that individual leagues aren't the main focus of top PL players like Flash and other team ACEs, especially if they are old KeSPA and even more so if they ex-BW players. | ||

But for some reason, he hasn't been bringing is A game to GSL. He's not the only to level Terran to do it. Where did TY get to last season? If he can sort out his problem out and play GSL as well as he plays in Proleague, we can see a nice deep run from Flash. #ibelieve Edit: auto correct | ||

Or when you say consistency, do you mean Life's streak in offline Bo5s, where he didn't lose an offline Bo5 for some 20 matches across something like 18 months? Or by "consistency", something like Innovation going 37-6 (that's 86% win rate) in ATC? By "consistency", I'm assuming you don't mean something like Jaedong reaching 6 finals in 2013? I'm also assuming that you are unaware of Maru reaching the Ro4 in 5 elite tournaments (and winning one of them) last year. I mean, I'm not going to say that you don't know what you're talking about, but... That's not real dominance. It's just one player being 'good' (instead of 'best') for a while. My feelings are that not the best players in terms of abilities are on top in starcraft 2. Top player ranks are changing way too much. Sure you can see some players are really good kind of consistently, like Jaedong or Taeja as you mentioned. But to me that's not enough for how long this game has been around. There are always newcomers and the fast pace makes the game so fragile. I would be pissed myself if I was training 10 hours a day and then in the tourney some random decides to rush you with 2 barracks. You don't scout because usually chances are low that someone takes such a risk. | ||

Thing just being, SC2 has so many minor events, too many "premier tournaments" and thing like HSC/DH/IEM at the same time. | ||

Like TaeJa? Proleague is a singular environment and format. Because of their respective styles, I would see SuperNova do well in it, but not necessarily Polt and (particularly) Bomber (too easily snipable). | ||
