Lee Young-ho (born 5 July 1992 이영호) is a South Korean StarCraft: Brood War and StarCraft II player who played Terran for the Korean pro-gaming team KT Rolster under the alias By.FlaSh or simply Flash. He made his debut as a StarCraft: Brood War player in 2007 and retired on December 19, 2015. Lee began playing StarCraft II competitively in 2011, until his retirement in December 2015. He subsequently returned to playing Starcraft: Brood War, and started his personal broadcast in February 2016 on the AfreecaTV personal broadcasting platform.[1] Since returning to Brood War, Lee has won first place in Seasons 2, 3, 4, and 8 of the Afreeca Starleague. As of 2020, he is still broadcasting personal broadcasts. He is, along with BoxeR, NaDa, Iloveoov, and SAviOr, regarded as the fifth, final, and greatest of the Bonjwas, a title for players who dominated the Korean Brood War scene over long periods of time.[2] He is almost unanimously considered the greatest player of all-time in the Brood War community.
Career[edit]
Lee joined KT Rolster in 2007 at the age of 14.[3] He quickly established himself as a top player, carrying KT in the Proleague team competition and achieving fourth place in the 2007 Daum OnGameNet Starleague.[4] The following year, he won the Bacchus OnGameNet Starleague,[4] becoming the youngest player to win a premier Korean tournament - a record still unbroken. His career arose to new heights in the 2009-10 season, when he reached the finals of seven premier tournaments - every one held that season - and won five. Three of those victories were against Lee Jae-dong, a famous rival of Lee Young-ho and the second-best player of the time. These achievements have cemented him as one of the greatest players of all time.[5]
When he first emerged as a professional gamer, Lee received criticism for his use of gimmicky 'rush' strategies. However, he soon developed a versatile and well-rounded play style which revolved around strong mechanics, defensive play, and exemplary late-game army control. Choi Yeon-sung has praised Lee's strategic depth, saying that 'there aren't many players who set strategic moves, and in the case of [Lee], I think he's looking about 10 games ahead.'[6] Lee is famous for coming back in games where he was at seemingly insurmountable disadvantages by playing defensive and exploiting small mistakes in his opponents' play to regain the advantage.[7]
Lee Young-ho set numerous records in StarCraft: Brood War professional competition. He has both the highest career win-lose ratio and highest peak ELO of any player, at 71.74%[8] and 2443[9] respectively. He has won six OnGameNet Starleague (OSL) and MBCGame StarCraft League (MSL) tournaments (a record shared by only one other player), and won four of those in twelve months (a record unmatched).[5] He has also won the most games in the Proleague competition and has done so with the highest win-lose ratio of any player.[10]
Lee Young-ho announced his retirement on December 1, 2015.[11] He subsequently returned playing Starcraft: Brood War, and started his personal broadcast in February 2016 in Afreeca (personal broadcasting platform).[1] Unreal tournament 1. Lee would go on to win the Afreeca Season 2 Starleague later that year.
In 2017, Lee competed in the Afreeca Season 3 Starleague and won first place.[12]
In 2017, Lee won the ' Golden Trophy ' for three straight seasons in ASL alone. At the Olympic Stadium in Hanyang University, Seongdong-gu, Seoul on Friday, Lee defeated Cho Il-jang 3:1 in the final match-up of the KT GiGA Internet Afreeca Star League (ASL) season 4. He won the championship three times in a row. Lee won a substantial amount of money by achieving a milestone that he failed to make during his career as a professional gamer. Lee Young-ho hit the 100 million won accumulated in ASL alone.[13]
In 2018, in the finals of the 'Olleh TV Afreeca TV Star League (ASL) Season 6', Lee was defeated by Kim Jung-woo (Effort). Antares auto tune bundle v9. Kim Jung-woo also won in OSL finals against Lee Young-ho (FlaSh) in 2010, in a famous comeback, by 3:2.[14]
In 2019, Lee skipped the 7th season of ASL due to his arm injury. He took a long break skipping all major tournaments (ASL season7 and all KSL seasons). Fortunately, his arm got better and he competed in the following ASL, Season 8, where he won his 4th ASL against Jang Yoon-chul (Snow) (4-0).
He has played in 9 out of 10 ASL seasons (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 & 10) of which Flash won four times, gained a runner-up once, and placed third twice.
In April 2020, Flash announced that he would switch his race and play future seasons of ASL as Random, rather than Terran. By selecting Random as his race, Flash will have a chance of playing either Protoss, Zerg, or Terran in any match.[15] He played the remainder of ASL Season 9, as well as the Afreeca StarCraft Team League (ASTL) as Terran. He played his first match as random in the T.E.N. FlaSh random match.[16] There, he lost to BeSt and ZerO 2-1,[17][18] while defeating Bisu 2-0.[19] He debuted as random in a premier tournament for the first time in ASL season 10.[20]

Reinstalling Windows or building a new PC and don't want to lose all your installed games and their updates/saves/replays etc.? Here are some tips to help!
How to Backup StarCraft 2
SC2 is okay with just a copy/paste from your old Windows install into a new Windows install, however, the following slightly longer process should help make sure that you get all your saves/replays/settings as well as already downloaded updates and maps, all copied over so you'll be good to go in no time (with no waiting for Blizzard's slow patches/updates to download!!!)
#1 First, copy these folders to an external hard drive (or other backup media)
This one should be almost 10GB:
C:Program Files (x86)StarCraft II
And this one may be less than 100MBs:
C:UsersYour User NameDocumentsStarCraft II
[modify these paths to suit your particular install locations and Windows username]
#2 Second, if possible, on your new Windows install use your SC2 DVD to install StarCraft 2
This will make sure you get anything 'installed' that wasn't in the two folders above (shortcuts, replay file type associations, etc.)
#3a Third, copy your backup over the fresh SC2 install. In other words, overwrite the fresh install with your backed up files
However, if possible I prefer to do the SC2 install FIRST so you for sure have any file type associations/registry settings/shortcuts exactly as Blizzard wants them).
#3b or if you don't have your SC2 DVD with you, you can just copy those two folders back onto your freshly reinstalled system and run them 'as is' without any major issues.
Backup process 4.5/5 stars. While it would be nice is Blizzard had an automated process, at least there are no required registry entries or other issues!
BONUS How to Backup Steam Games (Example: Duke Nukem Forever)
#1 Log into steam
#2 Go to your games list
#3 Right click on the game you want to backup, select 'Backup Game Files'
(or go to File -> Backup Games to do more than one game at a time)
One nice thing about Steam is that it automatically compresses your backups, so DNF was only about 3.86GB… way to go Valve!
Pretty easy huh?
NOTE: these instructions (with minor variations) should be compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista (yuck), and Windows 7. 🙂 I have no idea about how to do it on a Mac , but it may be similar… 🙁
More resources on backing up games:
How to backup and reinstall your Steam games! – VIA Forumshttp://www.viaarena.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39703Open your Steam Games list. Go to 'File' in the upper left of the tool bar. Choose 'backup games'. You will get a list of all the Steam games you have installed. Check mark the ones you want to backup. […] All of your local files will be saved. I had over 42Gb of files! Took about 30 minutes to save them all. I chose to save them in DVD size chunks. You can choose CD size chunks if you want, too.
Once you have reinstalled Windows, or like me, installed Win 7 Ultimate, find the folder (mine was on the Win 7 RC drive which is still connected in the same PC) so you know where it is. Install Steam on your new system. Then, I copied the 'backup' folder into the Steam folder in my new Win 7. Open the Backup folder (it will be named for the first game in the list of games that you saved) Double click on the first DVD (or CD) in the list and choose the Steam Installer. It will do the rest. Took maybe another 25 minutes to reinstall all the games!
Now I just need to find where all the Save Games are. I remember where Far Cry 2 was so that's done already.
Starcraft 2 Database Download
I'm currently at university, but i need to reformat my computer, unfortunately i don't have my sc2 disk with me, is there any way to ‘back up' the game, so that i dont have to download the entire thing (as i think my university will complain about the Internet usage).
Starcraft 2 Download Pc
Starcraft bw remastered.
Backup process 4.5/5 stars because I've occasionally had a message saying ‘Steam servers are busy' when I attempt to restore a backup (though repeating the process solves the issue, it is still annoying!)
