I have to say the one thing that I didn't really see is Flash outmacroing Pure. Seems their supplies grew at the same rate for the most part…maybe he pulled a little ahead in the midgame sometimes, but only marginally.


You can quite clearly see that Pure pulled ahead macrowise in the beginning of each game, because he 12nexed, and then flash's macrocurve makes a comeback due to his fast third as a response to the 12nex.

Pure 12-nexed in everygame or else the macro would have differed more I think.


Protoss supply =/= Terran supply, its a little more complex than that


Ye I think i know as much...
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

Interesting, especially game 2. Sadly, the average graph is totally uninformative.

What is the supply counting box? A kind of sampling or data gathering process?
Where can I find the thread?

Would be interesting to see where the -20 supply line is. As a general rule of thumb, Psi-20=Supply means the game is even. If Psi-20>Supply then P is winning and Psi-20< Supply then Terran is winning.

This is the game that gave me an idea. After I saw flash move out and decimate Pure's army in about 5 seconds, I started laughing at how silly a graph would look that depicted their respective food levels.

Then comes the best part, you can actually see when Flash moves out and their armies engage. At the 14 minute mark flash has 168 food and Pure has 159. Exactly a minute later, as Flash's push has extended towards the top and is taking out bases, Pure is down to 90 while Flash is at 145. Its over by now and the graph shows Pure making his last ditch effort and losing everything.


I raged.

some very nice work, though game one's extermination of pure's shit is because he's hitting a terran ball with more supply than him, i think

its really interesting work, though. the dynamics would be so much different for other matchups, and it would be interesting to see TvZ or maybe ZvP as well.

Those graphs are sickening. Flash knows how to defend to well, I cant wait till someone cracks him. I was hoping it would be pure though

This is basically why I was saying I think Flash was "out-macroing". In many situations, especially during the buildup parts of the game (sub~12 minutes when T has X bases and P has X+1 bases and its mostly just making stuff), protoss will naturally gain a slight advantage in raw count. Pure kind of does it, but it gets negated super fast just before the first major battles start happening. Flash keeping it that even seems like its an indicator of skill. There are a ton of other factors its looking at though, like what is being attacked, and which units are trading, so its not a very clean comparison.

This was pretty easy to do while watching the games, so if I catch EffOrt-Kal I'll probably do the same thing. Zerg vs T/P seems like it would be more dynamic in what food levels look like but hell if I know.

The counting box is that thing OSL has that shows current mineral/gas/supply count (like GOM or TSL had, in the lower right corner). I wrote down the numbers at regular time intervals to make the pictures. One thing I also noticed during the games is that Flash rarely had above 400 or 500 minerals at any point, while pure was frequently nearing 800 or 900. I kind of wonder if you wrote that down as well if something meaningful could be measured.

Its funny how flash cought up in suply each game even though pure opened with 12 nexus every game.
Flash greedy 3rd perhaps

Still, is it possible you could do one of the graphs with the Pure Psi - 20 line added?

He got pretty fast thirds in the games from what I remember, so possibly. He definitely had his third running before Pure did on Match Point. Its interesting that in the games Pure's growth is a straight line or tapers off towards mid game, whereas Flash's is the opposite in that it starts growing faster. I don't know if its a racial thing (Pure would have been adding tech for arbs about then) or because Flash is better at making units or because of engagements or if thats just how a PvT game normally unfolds. Maybe if we get a Flash vs Kal finals I could do the same thing and compare.

Plexa lemme see, should be easy enough

Game 2 is the most interesting one. The match average thing is cool too.

To be fair though pure is playing against FLASH. And trust me, even if you 12 nex, you're not gonna outmacro flash!
the throws never bothered me anyway

I would like to see this done to a large sample size of TvP games with a graph for when terran wins and for when protoss wins, and I suppose both of them combined. I just like graphs.

I love those psi-20 graphs, though I'm not sure whether 20 is the magic number...

Game 2 is pretty LOL to me. How the heck did Flash's unit count drop so fast, and then suddenly go up so freaking quickly while Pure's just went slowly downhill?? Makes no sense to me... maybe that was during the carrier transition? Flash decided to suddenly pump gols?
The probability of Kim Carrier getting all those predictions wrong is similar to the probability Flash loses a TvT. Kim Carrier MUST BE a genius. His only big mistake... STORK.

That is a reasonable way to interpret them. Thats mostly what I get out of it too.
