If you wall in and he gets dragoons you're gonna lost the two supply depots used for wall-in. And the lack of wall-in didn't hurt Flash against the proxy gate. The quadruple manner pylon and double gas steal did. And maybe Flash was going to cheese, he sent that very early SCV but obviously he saw the pylon, and proxy rax vs proxy gate isn't a good idea. | ||

It glosses over way too many details and also has some horribly incorrect implications. Example 1: that "contain" wasn't a contain at all. It didn't cut off Bisu's production and it *definitely* didn't stop Bisu from moving out of his base, how the hell can you call it a contain? At best it was a great move to easily shut down 1 base worth of minerals and snipe a couple of tech buildings while being very hard to crack due to its great positioning. At worst it was a desperation all-in (Flash cut a fuckton of SCVs for this while Bisu was still happily macroing with superior tech) that could only threaten part of 1 base and also managed to isolate his units so that they were useless at actually defending. Example 2: Bisu wasn't "out of options". Why ignore the "option" of choosing which to rebuild first: the Citadel or the Core? Bisu rebuilt the Citadel while the Citadel/Core was being shelled and it was Flash that had to guess what he rebuilt since he doesn't have maphack like the rest of us spectators. In fact I'm going to argue that *Flash* was out of options. Flash had a shit econ and all of Flash's income was devoted towards making marine/tank off of 3 factories. Any deviation into Vulture tech cuts down on the number of tanks he could make due to both resources and his 3 factories which also affects the chances of the all-in actually working. Flash desperately needed tanks at both the siege location and his base and furthermore that speedzeal attack came really fucking quickly - how many vultures could you possibly produce in response? God forbid you burn 200/200 on vulture tech and then get stuck with like 3 vultures vs speedzeal/goon/reaver. Flash might have made the game last a little longer if he somehow deflected the first speedzeal wave with vultures but he was still in a miserable position. Flash's sieged all-in position was in easy danger of being crushed and even if Flash somehow defended his base initially, Bisu would have the option of just crushing what was left of that all-in and then using his massive econ/tech advantage to overwhelm Flash at some point sooner or later. | ||

Yep, we discussed this many times before, and i believe this was the analysis that are most agreed upon. Flash was behind after the opening, pulled out a surprised punch, but it wasn't enough to win him the game. Bisu picked the correct response too, one that Flash didn't expect. | ||

I think around the third of the bleachers were used, so that's 2500, and around 400 people in the middle, on the court, so that's close to 3000 in total. It doesn't sound a lot for PL Grand Finals, but the atmosphere was incredible. | ||

I'm not sure how to feel now. It's good to see that other people thought along similar lines...and it's not good to see that an inaccurate/misleading battle report like this makes the front page instead. At some point I couldn't tell whether or not the report was actually what the writer believed, or it was some deliberate attempt at placating angry KT fans. I'm guessing battle reports aren't amended/rewritten or whatever after being posted so instead I'll just recommend that better analysis be done for the next one. | ||
