Flash is not slumping, my God. Flash is not a robot (is he?) Flash just let go his concentration a little bit. Still I hope CJ pawns KT, hehehe But thanks for comics | ||

But if the 2 base push for Tosses doesn't work they will take a 3rd and even a fourth from time to time after they did their damage and transition into a late game. Terrans literally NEVER take a fourth these days, no matter what, absolutelely no matter. It is so odd. Their SCVs just stop mining when main and natural are mined out. | ||

Flash takes risks for a reason. He understands the matchup far better than we do and does his utmost to prepare and win. | ||

Yeah, when Flash cuts corners he does it better than anyone and people go "whaaaat? How is his macro so good/how is he 20 supply ahead/how does it make it look so easy?" But then he cuts it just a liiiiitle too close and loses a game and people are saying that he needs to just play safe. Flash's ability to cut corners and skip on every little thing are what makes him so good. You know who plays safe? Sea. People also discount the psychological stuff Flash is constantly doing. I remember in an interview he said that he plans his interview answers to manipulate his opponents and tailors them based on who he might play. Nobody wins 15 in a row on skill alone. SC is a lot like poker in that regard. | ||

Nevar evar criticize Flash But on topic, I kinda liked Fantasy's idea (against Jaehoon?) of "Oh, you're going to run over my tank line? I'll destroy two of your bases with drops while I try to manage a draw in the main fight with mines and tank imba." | ||

Terrans literally NEVER take a fourth these days, no matter what, absolutelely no matter. It is so odd. Their SCVs just stop mining when main and natural are mined out. Yes, the reasoning is of the points that I highlighted. A toss in PvZ can take a 3rd and fourth while having its army to defend key points between the nat and 3rd / fourth and at the same time ensure the zerg isn't completely unharassed because of drops that can do great damage in a very short time (storm drop or reaver drop takes ~10 pop and while expensive can react fast enough to return to the main army if the zerg engages). The terran can't do that, if he wants to deny economy it's half of his army moving out, unless the protoss is careless and allows the terran the ability to micro vultures in the mineral line which ofcourse does happen and good terrans capitalize on those mistakes but the terran can't always depend on the opponent making a mistake. If the terran commits to taking a fourth it means that he has to settle on turtling on half the map and starve the protoss out or lose and that's literally it since the protoss is going to go unharassed and have more expansions. | ||

Jaehoon could have literally pulled his probes from the expansion attacked the 2 lone tanks forcing them to unsiege and waited for 2 or 3 zealots to arrive but he just didn't react at all. Serious props to fantasy for pulling it off but it's just not a dependable strategy. | ||
