2009 NATE MSL Semifinals Day 1

▶ Kwanro vs Flash

- Kwanro thumbs down Match Point
- Flash thumbs down Fighting Spirit

Game 1: Odd-Eye
Game 2: Fighting Spirit
Game 3: Ultimatum
Game 4: Match Point
Game 5: Odd-Eye


Just looking at this and I was wondering why is it that the maps both players thumbed-down still appear?

Also what exactly happens when a map is thumbed down?

Why did flash thumb down fighting spirit? He's 5-0 vs zergs on that map, statistically its his best map. Sure hes undefeated vs zergs on all the other maps except match point, but on odd-eye and ultimatum hes only 1-0 vs zergs.

rather weird as Flash has had enormous troubles at Match Point, kwanro probably shoulda abused that
and flash is super strong on Fighting Spirit, wtf?

Flash doesn't want to play a big macro map against kwanro who might go 2 hat all-in , 2 hat eco or 3 hat macro, practicing would be very stretching, plus kwanro has alot of video material to watch flash on that map.

Kwanro doesn't want to play flash on a map that is nearly impossible to beat even a regular terran on lategame let alone the best lategame terran of all time. Also the map is smaller so flashes aggressive MNM play pre-spire would easily throw off muta timing.

Flash was reducing kwanro's variables and playing maps that will ellict a more obvious playstyle from kwanro

Or flash just doesnt want to play on fighting spirit and kwanro doesnt want to play on match point.

yes that is it. This isn't something they sat down with their coaches and thought about ... it was spurr of the moment thinking right, based on feel?

Wrong buddy please choose stupider people to disagree with, I know exactly what they both were thinking.

oh wow you remind me of my roommate from last year. his favorite phrase was "it's just what it is", which he always blurted out in order to side step any logical thinking in answering a question.

Because clearly, with an MSL trophy on the line, they decided to just wing it and do what they felt like.
