You guys give flame too much credit for being a comp player, afaik he hasn't played with a team for quite a while.
Now then, flame is incredibly blunt in his feedback, but he knows how the game works and more often than not I find myself agreeing with the points he makes. He is active in the community and I can not see any reason to not accept him as a judge if he wants to be one.
Then again, this thread will probably become a massive debate in pro- and anti- flame (for president!!) shortly, so yeah...
Let him judge.
