Nice job SKT1. Still, you guys have GOT to hand it to the KT Zergs...what a great playoffs for them. Feel bad for Flash though. Crazy end to the season in my opinion...Flash destroys everyone during the regular season and then fails miserably in the finals, and Bisu performs average at best throughout the season and then regains form at the perfect time.

Here's to hoping for another BW proleague!

Amazing series.

Fantasy vs Flash and Bisu vs Flash especially.


-.- You missed out Hoejja vs Best, was better than Bisu vs Flash imo


If you prefer 1 side dominating, watch Hoejja vs Best. If you want a crazy close game, watch Bisu vs Flash.

I prefer close games rather than 1 side stomps

Probably spending all his money/factories on tanks. I don't even know if he had vulture speed/mines researched.

He had no vultures, he spent his extra minerals on marines.

He was going pure tank + medicmarines. It was a do or die push. Flash didn't wall. That was game.

IF you can afford to do so.

The whole opening debacle (and a beautiful one at that) pretty much forced that composition on Flash, and as a result, no upgrades on Vults. Flash basically didn't have the option of building Vults at all (only 3 Facts, building Vults == not building tanks, and his multiple Barracks go to waste), and lost as a result. He played amazing well though, really, esp in that opening.

Not if you take into account how much time it takes to build extra Facts, and research Mines and Speed. Then compare that with how much time it took for the Zeal attack to hit his main. Not to mention unlike us, he didn't have maphack vision, there are many things he did not know and only could best make an educated guess.
Look. Only Forward. See. Only Victory.

Man.. Flash... as a long-time terran player that was painful to watch.

Just goes to show you how much a successful gas steal can influence the game. I woulda cancelled my scv and made gas asap as soon as I saw that probe coming... Not that I can pretend to give Flash advice... That had to be so painful for him, hiding his head in shame at the end ... It was a great playoff, though, otherwise, I just wonder about semi's being bo3 matches while finals are bo1 match... wtf?

Playoffs are Bo3 because they're held at the Yongsan Stadium. Finals are Bo1 because if they did Bo3, they'd have to rent out the venue for multiple days, and less people show up to the subsequent days and they lose money. I think in 09, it was like, 40k people showed up for day 1, and then only 15k for day 2.

nah, it was the other way around since it was Friday/Saturday and ppl were more available on Saturday (plus Day 1 didn't matter as much compared to Day 2 w/ the Super ACE format). I would know because I was there both days, and first day it was so ezpz to get good seats lol. Also, weather was super shitty that weekend so that also hurt numbers for both days.

Have to disagree... Flash played great, but Bisu and especially Fantasy just played even better. Wouldn't call it "failing miserably."
May the BeSt man win.

It wasn't really Flash's failure that cost him the game, it was the depth of preperation that SKT had for Flash.. I bet they went weeks on end trying to find the annoying strategy to beat him. Props on SKT for preperation.. but not for spantaneous skill. That goes to Flash, and Flash always <3
