spoilers

i dont know much about sc being a mostly casual watcher of almost exclusively pvx and D- pvx

but watching 80% of flash vs ggplay 8 minute game



i suddenly thought, ..

"maybe his 3rd or 2nd or wtvr zerg expo was, even tho it completed, was simply a lure."

lures/psychological levels needn't be limited, ever.

is it possible that the z went 3nex, knowing his opponent would scout and respond to it in an exact manner? and then subsequently prepared off of 1 base, allowing his lure to be destroyed but remaining now capable of crushing his opponent

hope this makes sense

very impressive idea by ggplay, but i feel kinda bad for flash, he knows hes slipping up nowadays, its seems like its only a matter of time before he becomes the next slumpysavior =(

According to OP the zerg player, (Z)GGPlay, went for 3 hat before pool, and (T)Flash seeing this decided to do proxy barrack / bunker rush at his expand. OP says (Z)GGPlay expected this exactly and baited his 3rd base while 1 based teching to lurkers while purposely letting (T)Flash kill his expand. After he broke the eggs he rushed (T)Flash's vultures with zerglings being followed by mins and from then on he just overwhelmed him with to many zergling for (T)Flash to comeback against.

I don't that could've happened, since GGplay looked more surprised than flash that he won. GGplay did a last ditch effort, and flash slipped up. Awesome game though
