Now i just started to analysis broodwar replays using parsed named screw (https://github.com/icza/screp)
and I can analyze replay data
but there are a lot of duplications such as production of probe at first time of game, because players click to make prove even though they don't have enough money.
I want to get real game data not a player's click record. Can you guys help me?? how can i get real data ?

Bad news: Flash still likes and watches/plays Starcraft 2 (One of his stream VOD starts with him watching GSL). Its just that his chat turns into a shitshow the moment he plays Starcraft 2. They mock him for being "too bad"
About the replay problem, nope, that's how RTS games handle thousands of units over the network; the clients only send commands to one another, and unless gremlins happen, everyone's PC simulates the same game in a synchronous and deterministic way. The primary purpose of replays is to debug issues with this approach, so naturally they only contain the commands.

If your mineral count gets stored, can't you just make something that excludes any action that would cost more minerals than you have?

That's funny. Brood War is the superior game and Flash should be playing it.
(If he wants to...but it'd be a disservice to the gaming community to have him not playing Brood War).

It's not stored, that's the problem. You have to simulate the game with something like OpenBW or use a bwapi plugin, and monitor the state of the match to actually analyze what happens. It is doable, it's just a pain. A general purpose game analyzer would be a nice thing to have, it would let you harvest BOs and compile all sorts of statistics in an efficient way. You could even have a searchable database of every BW replay that's out there, able to return absurdly specific things like "every match on CB with a dark archon made before the 9th minute", or "history of ZvT win percentages vs 1-1-1 openings". I'm sure that an analyzer like that would be useful for AI training as well.
What's the current state of 1.2 replays, anyway? Parseable? Playable in Open? Possible to downgrade the format to work with bwapi?

watching flash play bw is a piece of art
Yeah he's really good. You guys go a little too far calling him god and shit though 😂😂. As we saw against Effort he's definitely human. Glad Effort won, but I bet if Flash went standard bio he would've won the series easily. I think he was trying to be creative and bring excitement back to Brood War, not knowing that watching his impeccable mechanical play is exciting enough for most people.

Yea, I second this sentiment. I think it fits Flash's character to pick the strategy that he feels has the highest chance of winning much more than doing something for entertainment value alone, especially in a finals as hype as this one (not to mention the history behind it).

flash went 1-1-1 because you can counter any build/strategy that zerg throws at you (but with a big if you dont suffer any damage/delays early on)
the 1-1-1 so often puts terran in an advantage in midgame but as every zerg/terran player knows the 1-1-1 is fragile which was painful to watch in the finals and semi-finals last vs effort
Flash often uses finals to try out mech build orders and unstandard stuff he’s just always the guy who’s mentality is “I do what I want”. He would probably have less silvers if this wasn’t the case. He’s been beatin by Jaedong and effort and others and it’s always cause of that
There was a period some months ago where Flash beat Effort something absurd like 46-3 using 111 build every game. It is however very volatile - getting your first vulture surrounded might lose you the game - but there is ample history backing up Flash's choice of strategy. Effort came prepared and did a very good job countering Flash, but a lot of it can be pinned down to very small, but incredibly crucial, micromanagement errors.
Yeah 1-1-1 hinges on getting thru the first 6-7 minutes with only vulture to defense. Your marine counts low, you not building a bunker, so if u can’t micro the vulture vs Ling’s or hydra then the build won’t work at all.
