+1 Poochi's post.

I can't stop drooling over Flash's genius. He looks so invincible because he's always doing the right build against his opponent. Whether it is through preparation or a streak of good luck - he's constantly attacking at times when his opponent looks unbelievably unprepared to hold off the attack.
Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.

Fake spire - go lurker then rush hive? I think that might work if you manage to get his army contained.

Force Flash to turtle, then expand like hell. The progamer must keep him contained at most 2 bases and 1 min only. Then transition to lategame.

When someone is on a tear like him, it's understandable that some will feel the game is over before it even begins.

It happens in every sport, when someone/some team gets on a tear, you can tell that once the first conflict or two happens, they expect to lose, maybe subconsciously, maybe consciously, but Flash expects to win.

If they practiced correctly, went at it with a fresh mind, I think you'd see a fantastic game.

I think that until flash burns out from overwork/stress or makes a few horrible decisions that make him lose some of his faith in himself he will go nearly unbeaten by zergs.

TvP is doable by stork/best/jangbi/bisu

TvZ I think he will dominate jaedong on the current map pool effortlessly each time.

Tonight will be the test of what smart zergs can bring to the table. Calm is the only progamer to ever use a 3 hat muta build into a broodling/lurker midgame to defend against tanks and hold four gases. I assume that if something strategically can be brought to the table calm will.

Effort could beat him in a lategame but he would have to get there first ...

The best thing is, I dont think flash is going to burn out this time. KT's so good now, flash losing doesn't really matter. Hell kt losing doesnt matter, since they are so far in first. He can shrug off pl [and if forgg even becomes half decent, not play at all!] and its OK. Honestly, this is Flash in the best circumstance we could realistically hope for. This is him with 100% of skill and dedication. Really exciting to see what that can produce. Even if its failure, I'm happy that we will finally get to see what Flash can really do, as before there always seemed to be a readily available excuse. Potential unlocked, gogo!

Hyun would never have won if Flash didn't place his rax defending turrets in that position. You can notice it vs his games vs Zero on the same map. Flash knew his turret mistake and corrected it. The better placed turrets stops mutas from running inside the base (a hole Flash had missed) and also helps defending the natural.

There is no "strategy" with killing 20 scvsand there was no amazing play from Hyuns side. If you succeed to do that you win. GG. It's amazing Flash played it well from there anyway.

Calm will have to learn very well from Hyun. Hyun holds the answers to beating Flash ^^.

I have no idea but all I know is that I haven't seen him play for a long time and I saw him yesterday vs Best - everything about him seemed so perfect from the start. It will take loads of effort to bring him down. :\

God I pray that in MSL Jaedong vs flash Bo5 and flash loses because I don't think Flash will be able to cheese and win unless he wins 2 in a row then on his third cheeses. I honestly don't think Flash can beat Jaedong in a BO5 straight up. Of course if they do end up playing BO5 and Flash wins 3-0 or even wins I will be surprised regardless if he cheeses or not. Flash is good no doubt but I don't think he's "perfect" like you all seem to think ><.
When I think of something else, something will go here
