obviously, spoilers







movie said that he practiced against orion, hydra, and kwanro to prepare for shine. kwanro seems like an excellent choice because he's good early game like shine.

but who does he have to practice with against flash? no cj terran plays like flash. seems like a bit of a conundrum.

Wow! That was such a coincidence lol
Would make it even more funny if you two are right lol

I think you can ask your teammates to try an imitate Flash's style... if that is even possible.

They do sometimes practice with players from other houses, too. ^^

haha team melee was the first thing that came to my mind when I read the title.

I think players like Mind and Hwasin have a similar mentality to flash. I'm not very familiar with the specifics of the TvP styles of these players when compared to Flash tho.

I doubt he'll be practicing strictly with his teammates, SL finals are beyond such boundaries.

this is an interesting topic.

Maybe this is why KT has gotten better! All that practice vs Flash.

Then why is ForGG so bad...

Yeah, I think he'd ask some macro-oriented Terran to use some flash based BOs (like someone said earlier, playing like flash).

I think movie actually has a chance against our Terran monster; if he 3-2s him, I said it~!

People play way better during house practice than in televised matches, all pros agree so the teammates he does have can imitate flash and maybe come close to his style... And Comeh, way to bring a strong argument for your answer.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

I'm a fan-boy ^^, what do you expect.
In all seriousness, however, (T)sKyHigh isn't too bad of a practice partner - and (T)UpMaGiC shows a similar style to (T)Flash (as in the (T)UpMaGiC vs (P)Movie game), so he would be a decent practice partner. However, I think to beat (T)Flash (P)Movie will have to do a lot of "cheesy" type builds, and hope (T)Flash just does a few mistakes.

This is probably the hottest possible finale of all.
I think I even like Flash vs Movie more than Flash vs Jaedong.

yeah i think this too. look at it this way, players like jaedong/flash/bisu/stork rarely practice against each other, even though they are in their own tier of skill. you see them thanking pretty mediocre players from their own houses most often for helping them practice, meaning that it's obviously sufficient for them to maintain their skill. flash especially has spoken a lot on public ignorance of 'the level of gaming that happen inside the practice house', so they must have some sick, sick replays in there =]

I think Team Melee would be a lot more attractive for training if it could produce replays. Unfortunately it can't, making it a much less useful game mode in terms of preparing and tailoring builds and timings.

Pros always seem to surprise me in their interviews, citing non-S-class practice partners. For example, Movie deciding not to go for everybody's guess of Effort as a practice partner. Probably the high skill level in untelevised matches has something to do with this... gamers like Orion and Hydra might perform just as well in practice as Effort does on TV.

My guess is that he'll yet again pick gamers we wouldn't think of first, based on friendships, availability, and other factors besides the skills we see on TV.

a lot of it has to do with the players being able to practice with each other. Movie might not of necessarily "picked" orion/hydra to practice with over effort, but effort had to practice for PL and so movie practiced with others who werent as busy.

Poor Movie is doooooooomed. If he wins though - or even goes 2-3, he will earn so much respect. I just hope he thinks of some damn creative cheeses or pulls some novel strategy out of his ass.

also it's not all about the practicing

tbh the only realistic way movie is going to beat flash is if he prepares a series of new, unexpected, and possibly insane yet successful builds

there is pretty much a 5% chance that movie will actually beat flash straight up

he's going to have to collaborate with other good toss players to develop new strats and stuff
if stork helped him that'd be sweet; stork helping movie develop a new strat to indirectly revenege himself for Bacchus 08 would make for some nice drama

In general, for advice Movie may consult Stork (PvT) and Much (Build creations). Both might be willing to help, moreso Much because of his previous stint in CJ.

In terms of Terran Practice Partners, apparently, and I know I'm going to get laughed at for this, Frozean is amazing in practice but unable to show that in live games. Maybe Movie looks there for help. Or, Movie could turn to Mind or SkyHigh. Mind does tend to have the same defensive style as Flash and Skyhigh is not bad either.

i feel like (T)Canata and (T)Mind and (T)CuteAngel are all viable practice partners. but (P)Movie's seriously going to have to work his butt off.

(T)Sea is likely to help Movie, I think I remember him saying in an interview a while back that lately he's been cheering for Flash to lose.

Movie wants to get his hands on (T)Really, though. 10-0 in his last ten TvPs, that kid knows his TvP.

Flash has (P)Violet and (P)Stats to help him (assuming Stats loses to Jaedong tonight), and (P)Stork will probably help out too since they're good friends.
Favorite progamers (in order): Flash, Stork, Violet, Sea. ||| Get better soon, Violet!
