... build during game 3 of the OSL. It's terribly disheartening to hear so many people downplay Movie's victory as Flash's "failure to scan," or as they put it on the SC2GG cast, "Movie's victory was the result of an error on Flash's part."

Of course, a perfect game doesn't result in a loss, but it's not like Flash had scans to spare and was like "hmm... I'm not gonna scan and give Movie a chance to build something up." The whole reason for the continued arbiter aggression even past the point of theoretical usefulness was to WASTE FLASH's SCANS!

Commentators continuously decried Movie's "wasteful attacks" as needing to do more than just "trade armies" (again according to Sc2gg), but each push and trade of the armies was 2-3 wasted scans! After the beautiful initial attack, Movie transitioned so perfectly and it just makes me so mad that people aren't giving him enough credit!

So in conclusion, Movie Rocks! Go movie!

Lol the game was over as soon as Flash didn't EMP the arbiters. I don't know what went wrong there though, he either forgot to research it or was busy with a macro round.

Honestly, wtf is with the bashing of sc2gg commentators? Sure, they don't have the best analysis but they don't even get freakin paid a cent for doing what they do, it's all volunteer work. They make the game exciting and that's all most people should care about. If you know better, good for you, do your own commentaries, if not, don't complain and don't watch.

Third game was actually my favourite of the set (even though I was cheering for Flash). Movie played extremely intelligently throughout the game. I think he would have won even if he didn't make the Carriers transition; more painfully, but he would prevail.

The mind games began with the initial zealot, which rode on the strategy he employed during the second set and caused flash to be over cautious and spend resources on static defence. The deciding battle was won with almost perfect unit composition and spells. Even without carriers, Movie was so ahead at that point with complete map control and bases all over, he would be able to overwhelm Flash with his ground army.

I thought all the games were at least entertaining, (barring the 4th. UGH!) yet people seem to think that Movie got ROFL-stomped in the first two. I thought he did fine, he held his own against the best player in the world and gave him some problems, set 2 had a killer opening, and I think we've all said what we needed to about set 3.

The SC2GG commentators aren't good because of any particularly deep knowledge of the game. They're good because they provide highly entertaining entry-level english commentary of games that not only draw new players to the scene, but despite occasional flaws in analysis, are nevertheless rather amusing.

If you wanted strategical analysis, listen to translations of the Korean commentators, Artosis, Chill, or Day[9]. Maybe Tasteless on a good day, but his style is more shoutcasting to me :D.


Ah, yes, and to those claiming that Movie was schooled in the other sets, it's true, but I found that it was less a result of mistakes on his part, and more of a result of Flash's impeccable play and sense of timing. He had all those builds figured out, and just smashed Movie with perfectly executed timing attacks wherever there was a window.

Until the last set's roflail, I thought movie had pretty solid defense against Flash's pushes. He was just too hasty in his attacks.
