This is the ReasoN why it's so good to have atleast 2 players capable of playing in the aCe match...


Yeah was Just about to say myself.

I almost wish KT had a second solid player (not saying fOrGG/Stats/Violet/HoeJJa are terrible or anything but they seem to play seemingly inconsistant at times) to send out for their ACE. The fact that people KNOW Flash is going to come out in the ACE match allows them to prepare these ultimate Flash-slaying builds (Snow's build, as well as the build prepared by fantasy/SKT a few weeks ago).

I suppose KT is just starting to lose its luster a bit as people are exploiting the fact that KT seems to win and lose on the shoulders of Flash as the other 4 can be unreliable at times.

Otherwise, I agree with everything in the OP - great article.

wow smart stuff from a smart man. "Recommended Games" said Effort vs Flash was the one to watch... now i have to watch this one. Thanks for to long write up, really really enlightening... mind games have some part to play in this game and can contribute in taking down perfected macro machines

I think Snow vs. Flash is a better game. I feel Flash was the one who lost game 1 based on some really bad moves.

+ Show Spoiler +
3 marines+scv+bunker lost for 5 lings early game, gave away 4 marines for no reason, half full dropship lost to scourge in base, full dropship lost to lings, 0 damage done, 3-4 lings killed, teched to valks assuming effort was going for mutas, no anti air by late-mid game


Effort played as well as you can vs. mech but then finished the game with ultras vs. mech to finish a game but thats because he already had a huge lead as Day{9} mentions.

You know what's super cute? I mean, yeah the 2 zealot was badass, I think a lot caught onto that.
But when Flash was scouting Snow's expo, usually you keep 2 goons to prevent SCV from scouting... well Snow showed him the blank natural and kept only 1 goon. That was super cute too.
Then when 6 was set up, Snow's lead was pretty large...

It was just a beautiful game. Super high level mind games.

Thx, good read infernal. I like things like these~ Yayaya. BW SO GOOD.

Wow no criticism and even a compliment from the likes of haji himself.
I'm surprised.

No question about Snow's play, but doesn't Flash's disturbed look and first sloppy marine mean anything?

Very nice read. And I agree I was astounded when watching the game, not only at the mindgames and the level of preparation, but also the precision that was used against Flash. Because it's one thing to come up with a strategy that can beat Flash, and another thing entirely to pull it off.

Did I mention how nice it was to read that? Very well thought out post, I think.

If I had done the way you described somebody would have whined about "blabla but it wasn't obvious WHICH match you wanted to spoiler" - and if I did it this way - well, watch your own post?

My only criticism is it that according to the interview, it seems like Snow did quite a bit in preparing the build, not the coaching staff.

Even better was the fact that he recalled the 5 o clock to clean up small chunks of Flashes force that he previously drew there with his DT's - again - perfect planning.

And I think you meant 10 o' clock, unless there's a part of the game I just don't remember. (5 o'clock was Snow's main?)

KT have had their other players play the ace match numerous times. If they decided to risk playing Stats or Violet or Hoejja, all that preparation would have gone to waste and we would probably be wondering why CJ had Snow for ace.
