I mean like if they played a best out of 5 over a period of like 10 days, effort would atleast win like 4 of them. With that said, no one here is going to beat flash. the player with the highest chance of doing so is Kal, but he isn't good enough ATM. I don't see Zero doing it. Maybe Baby if he gets lucky but TvT seems like a matchup where crazy cheeses don't pay off so much in comparison to other matchups. just my 2 cents | ||

That was just after Flash had lost 4 consecutive TvZs by not building turrets. Not particularly relevant to anything, except the hypothetical scenario that Flash decides to go into such a phase again. | ||

However, I can't see Pure or Kal (lol poor guy) beating Flash, and Movie got raped pretty badly the last time round. His second worst matchup is his vZ. However, Effort can only beat Flash if he receives help from his species. Zero... is awesome but I don't see him standing a chance, he seems to love surprising opponents with creative strategies, but Flash only ever looks surprised when his face twitches by accident. We come to Flash's third worst matchup, his vT. Due to map imbalances, I'd say Flash automatically starts off with an advantage. However, Flash has only gone 9-4 in his last 13 TvT's (let's just ignore the 25-1 streak right before that). Do the math: that means Flash is actually only 69% in his last 13... O_O. Slump!!! As a result, I conclude that Baby or Forgg have the only realistic chance. Baby has the mental advantage; likely, this is probably the only time(?) Flash will have played someone younger than him in a BoX, and this likely scares him really badly. Baby is also riding a hot streak, and actually changed his name to Ty somewhere along the way. Forgg is Flash's teammate and therefore has secretly been extremely jealous of him throughout this entire time and has stolen all his replays. Likely, Flash's recent TvT losses were because Forgg tried to sabotage Flash by acting dumb during their practice matches. Conclusion: Baby or Forgg. W8 wut??? Anyway, Baby would have a chance prolly if he had more time to prepare, but even than its TvT.. so I say P's have the best chance with a successful cheese!!! Or smthin' But its all just hypothetical. No one will actually stop Flash... | ||

Well, let me remind you that Flash started his infamous TvZ streak (that was later ended by hyun) against Effort in WCG after he completely dominated him 2:0. | ||

True, but most of us Flash fans last year (aka real Flash fans =P) were his harshest critics at the time, and I seem to remember that right after Flash beat July (in the least convincing 3-0 ever) and right before Effort lost to Iris, the common consensus was that Effort would be the favorite (if not the heavy favorite) in the final. I certainly believed Flash could win but all indications at the time were that Effort's nearly perfect ZvT was better than Flash's flawed TvZ at the time. Then of course, Iris beat Effort, giving Flash's TvZ some time off for retooling and by the time they did meet in WCG a month later everything was changing. | ||

So I guess hyper aggressive builds involving both econ and units. Would love to see Flash get 4 or 5 pooled TBH. | ||

It seems that people COMPLETELY forgot the read the stats in between? Flash 3-1? when the hell was effort EVER gonna beat flash in a Bo5. Where are these claims coming from? And Flash WON that game, with a bunker rush BBS i think. Please, look at some stats before making statements that have absolutely no basis. | ||
