I bet he regrets it now
Although I don't have any solid evidence or know this for sure. [Flash and Sea] are indeed friends and by picking him early on for his group its less likely they would eliminate each other until much later on. A possible explanation for what would seem like a crazy decision . Only in the group stage could he lose to flash and still make it through.
Could well be.
Sea during group selection. "I'm going to avenge Terror." Sea just joined "Beagles". It's Terror's crew. This is the reason why Sea's viewership has gotten big. Terror told him to pick Flash.

And I kinda bought into it, too.
I mean, Rain (aka Sun) and Soulkey were good A teamers in Proleague. They're good at Brood War because they were good at Brood War.

Well, he sure didn't avenge Terror, lol.
Perhaps he could avenge Terror on whomever is Terror's fashion consultant.

Well, to be fair Sea losing his last Goliath to his own last tank shot stopped his push altogether. That way he only had damaged tank against a wraith. If he had moved his goliath just a little bit away it would have been a tank and a goliath against a wraith.
Horang2 before the match started: "I'm picking movie to win" Britney: "Everyone else is picking Rain" Horang2: "Because of his PvT and PvZ, people are assuming he's going to win. His PvP is suspect." Horang2: "Im guessing 3gate robo from movie and 1 gate nexus Rain.

Yup. Tasteless/Artosis/Rapid really push this whole "You gotta respect this guy in BW 'cuz he was good in SC2!!!" thing.
And it's just kinda bullpuckey. The skills don't really transfer over all that much... you gotta be a great BW player to be a great BW player.

I know he was okay back in 2011-2012, but he is primarily an SC2 player still
its because rain has really good pvt in a 2 terran group is why we hypd him to get out.
I'd love to see him advance behind Flash, I really like his story line, but as somebody who doesn't watch SC2, he still has to convince me
his PvT is amazing. his other matchups are kinda lacking.
He played a good game against effort, so... I think he has a lot of potential. He already showed that in the last days of pro BW. But he switched from SC2 just recently so he isn't quite there yet I think.
