I don't think flash was going easy in any of the games (I get the feeling he's the kind of guy who would think that that would be disrespecting kangmin in itself). Ra's micro in the first game was amazing, there's no way around it.

And it seems that the coaches thought that adding another expo in the first game would have been more "secure" and more proving of his multitasking skills, do any gosu tosses have an explanation as to why adding the gates could be considered a BAD move? It gives Ra the momentum (imo) because Flash lost all his tanks, so I think that in itself it could be more "secure" in a way (although I do agree that it would require more multitasking than adding more gates...)

i think its more like he let his minerals stack up, so he just spammed gates to use up his minerals rather than macro properly off a few less gates

What does it mean when it says Flash was adjusting his keyboard? What's there to adjust? He had a ruler...

The angle and the distance of the keyboard from the monitor, among other things... probably.

KT seems like a really cool house. Now all they need is for someone else to play well consistently. Great episode!

Edit: whoot! Marine!

it wasn't that adding gates was a bad move
Assuming you're Korean Navi (I think lol), the reason why Hery said that is because when rA was just adding gates all of a sudden, rA looked really "안절부벌못하게 보였다"
You could just tell rA was like "OMFG IM GUNNA WIN MOAR GATEZ MOAR GATEZ" and Hery was just making fun of rA how excited he got during the game.

Also I think 'better' players would have taken an expansion while adding a few less gates for added insurance, is why Hery was making fun of him.

Ra is going to really have to get used to 5/6 base play. Watch some BeSt replays IMHO.

pretty cool how he goes to one house after another, maybe CJ house sometime afterward.

We get free footage of Boxer but no oov, awesome anyways.

anyone curious about what flash was measuring/lining up?

It was probably just placing his keyboard in the right spot in relation to the monitor, but it still fascinates me as to the logic behind it

Thank you mrmin and the rest of the TL crew!

rA is my favorite toss of all time, so this show brings me much joy <3

TL seriously has the greatest translators outside of a language driven community. The hard work you guys do to bring us english speakers is highly commendable. <3

Flash uses a ruler to line up his keyboard every game. I noticed him doing it a really long time ago but most recently, I remember a close-up view at the Ever OSL Finals against Movie... He does it so that his keyboard is at the exact same location every single game. If he does it while practicing then it won't throw him off during real games. It's similar to the reason why basketball players do the same routine before every free throw... It probably also reduces the tension on his hands if the keyboard and screen are placed at the optimal distance from the edge of the desk and from each other.
