He probably didnt have to count. He is just too organized and polished in which one glance will tell him that it's one more probe than usual. How sick can this guy get :s

Eh? Since when is an extra probe a sign of all-in? Couldn't he just go for usual nexus&zealot follow-up or w/e?

His understanding of the game is so much better than ours. I wonder the same thing, though. T_T
Also, I wouldn't even notice the difference, haha. =(

I think it's because you make the probe to send it out to build something.

I've missed the early game though; tuned in with lag @ work during the 4gate part.
Now, if flash counted probes in Stork's main, substracted one that was mannering gas, and figured that another was missing/somewhere on the map, it'd be insane. Otherwise, you can pretty much gas steal, get a gate/zealot, nexus, zealot(or gas) without cutting any probes; lot of progamer P's do that on 2player maps. I'd assume that if you aren't cutting probes, you can not make an _extra_ one by proxying 0_o.

I'd bet that flash saw something less subtle than counting enemy probes in main, since that is much less stable than counting pylons/noticing probe cuts with nexus not flashing at all.
Will rewatch the game once VOD is out on youtube; I'm quite curious at what his scv/scans saw. Perhaps no probe cut for a faster nexus during the standard nexus time? That's not enough for a decision, though...have to rewatch it

▲ I had predicted it to a certain extent. I saw that Stork made an extra probe, so I thought that he might do an all-in, I guessed that it was either proxy gates or reaver pressure. Even though I did think that Stork might go for an all in, I still didn't predict his general strategy.

he notices ONE extra probe and knows something is up. this is what seperates the men from the boys.. insanity

As time passes by there's more and more evidence showing Flash is not human; he's a god-send mechanical being whose sole purpose of existence is raping and dominating.

- You seemed unaware of Stork's strategy

For a non-pro player like me: 1 extra probe = proxy gates or reaver? How cool is that pls? Gotta love his game sense.

.../sigh. Great days to be a Flash fan

Most other gamers aren't so open about how exactly they think about the game...it's interesting to hear him talk about that kind of stuff. I wish more would do things like that.

It ain't a KT interview... Without a picspam.

Flash: "KT Lolster, commence!!"
The rest of the team: "LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL-"

+ Show Spoiler +

Sharp: "Hey Jangbi, you think that Stork hyung will beat Flash today?"
Jangbi: "Him? That wannabe? Feh, I bet that he'll get BBS'd by Flash and get utterly humiliated. I'd bet my life on it."
Sharp: *Shrugs* "Suit yourself then."

Yellow: "What'd you say Reach? You makin' fun of my silvers again? Yeah well guess what? I have more gold medals than you."

[image loading]

Reach: *Thinking in head* "...got burned by the Kong...."

Flash: "What's that you say Hoejja? Ssak fell down a well?"

[image loading]

Flash: "Well... He can go have some fun in there then. Muahahahah~"

[image loading]

Tempest: "Oh god Anyppi, don't do it. Don't touch the Mantoss; who knows what will happen to you if you do it."
Anyppi: "Nnnrgh... Must.... Receive..... The Mantoss's powers!!" *Touches the back of Reach's head and flies back from getting a huge jolt; crashes into the wall with a loud BAM*
Reach: "...Nn?"

[image loading]

*Watching Perfective's game*
Stats: "..." *Shocked*
Reach: "..." *Utterly disgusted*
Yellow: "...I should call Hyungjoon and get him to join our team, huh."

[image loading]

KT's manager: "Okay Flash, go out and get us another win!" *After watching Flash go off* "...turn it back on, turn it back onnn, dem leeeeeeeeegz!!"

[image loading]

*Reach and Flash high-five each other*
Anyppi: "...holy crap, Flash's not getting knocked back by touching Reach hyung! No wonder people call him 'God Young Ho'."
Barracks: *Thinking* "One day I'll be able to touch Reach hyung like that... Just you wait, Reach."

[image loading]

Samsung: "Yaaaaaay Stork hyung's tearing apart Flaaash! That's our Song Byung Goo~!"
Jangbi: -DISBELIEF-

[image loading]

Hoejja: "Heh, both Stats and Stork are going DTs. Heh."
Flash: "Heh, this is almost as gay as going proxy gate DT rush."
Reach: "Heh, yeah, who would do such a thing- Oh wait..."

[image loading]

Reach: "Yes, good job Stats! High-five me! BOOM, PSYCHE!! Now do an air dunk now, ohhh, we be ballin' boyyyyy, we be ballin', yeeeah sonnnn-"
Barracks: "WILL YOU GUYS STOP ALREADY D8"

Reach: "So you wanna become stronger, eh Hoejja boy? If you win against me in an arm wrestling contest, then you'll be worthy of being called manly. Of course, you can't beat me, even if I only use one hand. I can even use it to massage my shoulder while we're at it."
Hoejja: "$&#$#(*&@(&*&!!!" *Sweating furiously*

KTFlash at its finest.

"All aboard the Youngho train, toot toooot!"

And thanks for the translation!

When Flash's comsat finished the observer went back to Storks base and you could see two probes going back to his mineral line. Flash probably scanned and saw this, hence he saw the extra probe. One coming back from making the pylon and the other coming back from making the Gateways.

No other explanation really seems to make sense to me.

counting probes seems downright retarded, unnecessary and show-offish

does anyone else actually do it or is it just flash trying to show off?
