god i like artosis, keep up the great work.
btw i think u should take like "1 special thingy" in every episode/part/weekly news.
like the "rumor of the week" or any interesting that puts up drama or discussions, i think people would actually love that.

btw gj.

Can someone explain just a little bit deeper why Flash did what he did? The math of it, I mean. What was it that he was getting that exact amount of gas for at that time or something like that. I would ask on Artosis's Twitter but I don't have a Twitter account.

Flash did a similar thing versus Best (2nd set). However he only had 3 SCVs waiting with gas.

im not sure of the exact math of it, im sure he has it timed out perfectly to line up with his minerals. completely genius amazing move with that many SCVs.

Artosis is a bit biased towards the terrans with his tsl predictions I see. I wouldn't complain if the TSL played out like that! ^_^

the only thing I don't agree with is Terran over White-Ra. I think White-Ra's experience in huge stress situations will prevail in that matchup. Terran has been to WCG but hasn't quite won or been up there this high in something that involves this much money.

Excited to hear that you think Ret has stepped it up so much. If he pulls through the two zergs, I'll be impressed (especially if he does ZvZ).

Good stuff.

Flash's response to that gas rush was sexy, lost only a few seconds to idle scvs(normal transfer->gas) rather than the ridiculous amount of time it takes for 3-4 scvs and 1-2 rines it takes to kill the geyser. This play gave him a faster CC, a safe factory timing, and the labeling of a genius! Not to mention Movie was probably demoralized thinking "Oh god he isn't reacting to my gas rush AND my proxy has been spotted T__T"

the gas trick was pretty nice..but i still think it would have been vulnerable to an early goon range rush. That being said, i still think the highlight of the video was Artosis' left arm.

A two gate goon follow up to a gas steal is not going to work very well in the pro level, especially against someone at Flash's caliber.

Reason
1) Flash has a super fast expo, fast 2 gate goon range will give a much later expo.
2) With the fast expo Flash can afford to mass repair the bunker, and block a runby.
3) Flash will have his first tank pop out before a critical mass of goons can even be achieved(I would say 6-8 are needed to break the front)

The best option is the runby with the goons, but that would definitely not work against flash. Not to mention the rush distance on hbr is relatively large.

I also noticed that gas trick, but I didn't fully appreciate its genius until I saw this. Terrans around the world will not watch the vod over and over again until we figure out how to use this against gas steals argh protoss.

nice job Artosis, though your left arm took the show to a new level!

I totally agree with your predictions about TSL, but no prediction about the MSL???

didnt notice the Flash reaction to the gas steal, wow genious!!! he is such a smart player...

Great job Artosis, always enjoy your weekly news and I am glad that you started it up again.

This is funny, because I saw what Flash did during the game, but I didn't put the pieces together and understand what and why he was doing it.
