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] 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). 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]

The StarCraft II StarLeague, also known as SSL or S2SL in short, is a large StarCraft II tournament hosted by SPOTV GAMES that is played offline in South Korea. This tournament is held in parallel with the Global StarCraft II League (GSL) as qualifiers for the StarCraft World Championship Series (WCS) held yearly at BlizzCon.[1]
History[edit]
Prior to the 2015 season, the StarCraft World Championship Series only had one StarCraft II individual league in South Korea, the GSL. On October 31, 2014 Blizzard Entertainment announced changes to the WCS system and that SPOTV GAMES would be holding a second individual league that would reward players with WCS points.[2] It was announced on January 15, 2015 that Naver, Korea's largest search engine, would sponsor the first SSL tournament.[3] The following two tournaments in the year were sponsored by SBENU, a casual footwear company.[4]

Format[edit]
General[edit]
The SSL is normally made up of two events, the Main Event, renamed in 2017 to Premier, and Challenge. The latter serves as a de facto qualifier for the former. Throughout its three year history, the SSL has gone through multiple large format changes of both leagues.[5]
2015[edit]
Main Event[edit]
In all three seasons of 2015, the 16 players in the Main Event start off divided into four groups of four. Matches are best of three in the group stage and the top two players from each group move onto the playoffs round whereas the bottom two players in each group fall down to Challenge League for the following season. Players that advance to the playoffs stay in the main event the following season. Matches in the quarterfinals are best of five and the semifinals and finals are best of seven.[5]
Challenge[edit]
SSL Challenge is an event serving as a de facto qualifier for the main event. Players that qualify for the league and players that were eliminated early from the main event face off in a best of five match. The winners of each match move on to the main event and the losers fall out of the league and have to participate in the general qualifiers again.[5]
2016[edit]
Main Event[edit]
There was no SSL Challenge in Season 1 of 2016. Instead, qualifiers seeded directly into the main event. The main event consisted of a sixteen player double elimination bracket with one round of the winners' and two of the losers' bracket being best of three matches, the next two rounds in both brackets being best of five, and the remaining four matches deciding the placement of the top four players being best of seven games.
In Season 2, the main event's format reverted to that of 2015, with a group stage and playoffs starting with best of five quarterfinals, then best of seven semifinals and finals.[5]
Challenge[edit]
SSL Challenge returned for Season 2 of the SSL. It included 24 players in four round robin groups of six. Each match was two games long, and the top three of each group advanced to the Main Event. Each match consisted of a 'home' game and an 'away' game for each player. The 'home' player chose the map that was played, and away wins were given more weight in how standings were determined, being deciding factors in cases where overall map wins for two players in a group were equal.
2017[edit]
Premier[edit]
In 2017, the SSL Main Event was renamed to SSL Premier and once again brought about large format changes to the league. Unlike 2016, though, the format remains constant between seasons. 10 players play in a large round robin of the regular season, called the Pennant Race. At the end of the Pennant Race the bottom two players are relegated to Challenge, sixth and seventh place go on to play in day one of Fast Lane, eighth place goes on to play in day two of Fast Lane, and fifth place is directly seeded into next season's Premier. The top four players advance to the playoffs, or the Post Season. In the Post Season, the third and fourth place finishers play a best of five to advance to face the second place finisher in a best of five. The winner of that advances to the finals to face the first place finisher of the Pennant Race. Due to this large format change, the prize pool structure was also modified to have every match give out money, with placement only accounting for a small portion of the total prize pool of the event.
Challenge[edit]
Challenge also experienced large format changes in 2017. 10 players participate in the first stage in two five player groups with best of three matches. The top three of each group advance to the second stage, the bottom four being eliminated, where all six are in one round robin group with best of five matches. The top finisher of the second stage is seeded directly into next season's Premier. Second and third place advance to the first day of Fast Lane, fourth place advances to the second day of Fast Lane, and fifth and sixth are eliminated. Due to the extensive format changes, Challenge awards money for each match instead of overall placement.
Fast Lane[edit]
Fast Lane was added in 2017 to have the lower but not lowest finishers of Premier face the higher but not highest finishers of Challenge. It is a two day event consisting of two four player groups. In day one, the sixth and seventh place finishers of Premier and the second and third place finishers of Challenge face off in a four player group. The top two advance to next season's Premier, while the bottom two continue to day two. In day two, the previous day's bottom two players are joined by the eighth place finisher of Premier and the fourth place finisher of Challenge. The top two once again advance to Premier, while the bottom two are relegated to next season's Challenge.
Prize Pool[edit]
The prize pool for each tournament in 2015 awarded a total of 75,000,000 KRW for the main event.[6] In addition, all players that lose in the Challenge League and do not proceed to the main event are awarded 200,000 KRW each.[7] The prize pool for each season in 2016 awarded a total of 134,000,000 KRW for the main event.[8] In 2017, the tournament once again underwent big format and prize pool changes.
