is absolutely fucking beautiful. There are a few skills that I see in others that I really admire, and by that virtue, also envy. In truth there's a TON of things I can't do, athletic wise, intelligence wise, and so on, but there's but a handful of those that I actually really want to be able to do.

In particular, Flash's macro is just jaw droppingly good. I never use to appreciate the macro side of things, but after comparing my games, and the games of very good foreigners, and then to compare us against the progamers. It feels like I've stepped off the cliff of a mountain and fallen. It's so hard to explain.

I've watch a ton of replays, fpvods, and I even analyzed via bwchart and eapm but it's unexplainable. It's perfection. You swear someone would need 2 additional hands to pull off the things he pulls off but nope, he's got as much as us to work with but can do twice as much.

i remember when yellow was talking about flash and how every single unit and supply timing was just done perfectly, he said it was amazing and inexplicable

maybe he just has some 6th sense about it? kind of like bisu and multitasking

Did Forgg die or something?

Bisu's macro is amazing lol. I was watching a fpvod and I saw him cycle through his gateways so fast I couldn't even tell what was building in each one. Then he goes back to juggling his 5 hotkeyed armies...

Yeah Flash is fucking insane. He's on another level compared to all other progamers.

I saw a replay he played vs Savior, Flash had FOUR (4) mining bases and still he never went over 300 minerals.

please
ForGG my fellow
he is a machine gun of pumping units, of course his accuracy cant be compared to flash's but wow

And NaDa==Jaedong==Bisu
a different style that of play that got only 3 players based off in perfection, both microing and macroing like god



special thanks to boxer
but this isnt fair competition cause he doesnt even need to know how to macro to be god
I've got a point, and i'm ready to kill or die for it.

i've only see 2 replays of forGG, and an fpvod, so i can't comment. But flash is just perfect. I think it's possible forgg be AS good, but to be even bettern, no, i'm sorry i cannot believe that. It's like asking me to believe that someone out there can run faster than usain bolt. Not possible.

and the thing about flash's macro, is that it's not speed. it's something else...

The beautiful thing about flash's macro is not that it is perfect, its also he has scary fucking sick army control, no matter what the size
Thats what made me a flash fan, when he is on 3 base 200/200 and pushes a 6 base toss is just awsome

as i said, forgg isnt better macroer since he isnt as accurate with timings as Flash
But he pump units like a M60

For sheer amount of units produced forGG's macro is superior.

For serious do people not remember ForGG and Stork who are constally bashed on for just A moving with 10981023 units. I mean common their micro used to be shit and they won off of raw power. Notable macro is Def GoRush/OOv/ForGG/Stork/Savior/Pusan in spirit toss
I have ass for brains so,
even when I shit I'm droping knowledge.

Tempest was probably the first person (amateur at the time) who just suprised me with his macro. There is a game of him on longinus vs ArtofTerran I believe where he basically just does a 3 base quick 9 gate build and is 200 pop in about 11 min. Terran is just barely over 110 psi and Tempest just attack moves and decimates him.
