Someone explain it to me. but being utterly rubbish at the early game. you've seen it time and time again that his opponent ALWAYS gets the build advantage. the only time it doesn't happen is when protoss starts with 12 nexus and that's because protoss players suck balls these days so they never get away with it. it wasn't even mind games or anything so cj fanboys don't get yourself wet. its just flash is so bad at this and we've seen it time and time again. its the fact his late game is so strong that he can smash these scrubs back and make it look like there wasn't any advantage. | ||

It's pretty impressive to do it 3 games in a row no? | ||

Flash seriously screwed on his MnM micro on his timing attack in the second game as well, he just managed to get out of the opening well enough to turn on his midgame=win switch. Seriously a disappointing series. | ||

Next game he moved out with his a handful of marines and 2 medics to secure his ramp or something, the marines in a limbo line hugging a wall and the 2 medics in trailing too far behind to heal. So sloppy. EffOrt killed them all with his first lings and then clean up. Game 5, Flash 14 cc on Match Point...a 2 players map that EffOrt simply did the same build Flash had already seen him do TWICE already tonight. After EffOrt saw the 14 cc, 3 hatch all-in ling. What do you expect. So disappointing from Flash, though the 2 games he won were really good. I just wish EffOrt won in a better fashion. He capitalized on Flash's mistakes perfectly but he didn't win a single game past maybe the 10 minute mark, and he won the Grand Championship from that. | ||

Game 4. Flash bbs'd and got scouted. GG. Game 3. Flash got tricked by effort, thinking he'd go a third hatch in natural rather than more lings. The flash bashing is unjustified, effort played really well the last 3 games and got lucky combined with great scouting and mind games. Marine scv micro at the end of a 5set final with that much pressure and unexpected speedlings would be a nightmare. | ||

Games 3 and 5 Effort seized the opportunity and made good use of his lings - also risky play, but in reaction to Flash's missteps. Game 4 was just perfect execution and decision making by Effort - no mistakes. | ||

Effort played horrible in game 1 and 2, imo he was even or ahead in both games and then threw it away. | ||

Also, the queens got broodlings a little bit too late (or maybe they didn't have enough energy, most likely this). In game 2 he made horrible mistakes, like losing mutas carelessly and not doing enough with the mutas. Anyway, EffOrt deserves this, and now CJ has a new champ  . | ||

They definitely were. I have to say I was rather disappointed with today's games. Didn't really feel a finals-game level of excitement at all. Flash vs Movie felt more exciting imo. | ||

Effort is a baller. its not cocky, its not arrogant, its not flash losing focus and its not stupid of him to take risks. terran is fragile. playing to minimize losses can work to an extent, if you're good enough. look at all the solid terrans there have been, people like midas and hwasin, theyre ridiculously good. they won, alot. they never won a title. because once you start playing against bisu and jaedong and effort, if you play to not lose you have no chance because that style can be abused very hard. thats why flash has always been able to win, he is one of the best mechanically anyway, but he takes risks. theyre normally very well calculated and based on scouting and knowledge, not pure luck, but they are risks none the less and sometimes that backfires and you look stupid no matter who you are. flash won game 2 cuz he left his base relatively open while mutas are out and goes to pressure effort's third. at that point hes way, way behind and if the attack doesnt go his way hes dead, but if he doesnt do anything with the situation hes in a lot of trouble anyway. so he takes his chance, and it works. game 4, if he just sits back and tries to turtle up effort runs him ragged with muta micro, given how fast mutas come off that build and the setup of fighting spirit. so he pushes out right before mutas will be out to try to pressure, hoping to catch effort off guard and force a sunken or lings, anything to lessen the effect of the mutas. but efforts prepared for this and it doesnt work. in both games hes in a tough situation and takes a risk to try to turn it in his favor. one game he looks great, the other he looks retarded. a more conservative player will sit back and turret up both games, he doesnt run the risk of dying immediately and he doesnt end up looking stupid and getting criticized. but hes never gonna win a starleague. | ||

Can you give us a bit of description of the atmosphere at the CJ house after Effort won? CJ fans would really appreciate it, as the streams cut out a lot of the post game stuff, and the OSL had to hurry everything because the beginning was delayed so long. What was Coach Cho's reaction? The other players? Thanks in advance. | ||
