Yeah, I watched some of those games from Soulkey POV and man... His ZvT is spectacular, Flash simply cannot keep up sometimes. I think Soulkey's score against Flash is 7:3 today.
Earlier today Flash played against Larva. Lost one bo3 and won one.
But as we've all seen FlaSh is a different animal when you get him in an offline setting. I don't think these online games mean a whole lot tbh. FlaSh also does a lot more unconventional stuff online.

Watching the VODs now and kinda agree... I think Flash is just playing his fans, maybe to hype a finals that is most likely going to be a TvZ 3-0 stomp. From the sluggish APM to acting "disappointed" after losing to SK (from overmicroing an elevator mnm's?? very uncharacteristic) and immediately posting VODs on YT titled "practice for the Final!!" -- all seems a tad contrived.

In a lot of his TvZ for about the last month it seems, he's been doing a build that gets him fast vultures with mines and a fast starport with cloak and wraiths for muta defense. He spend most of the game barely hanging on by a thread before he throws down 5 rax or gets broken. I've seen him do this very frequently. If he did his standard 5 rax into mech the results would probably look a lot different.

Damn, look at his spon bo3's vs Soulkey the past few days... Not looking good for hero. Huge Flash fan here but for the sake of the scene I hope hero executes sick games if not pull an upset!!

Flash preparing to assault the 3rd base. Scans and blinds 3 lurkers, rescans and moves in to kill the now blind lurkers. Amazing.

I've had that idea a couple of months ago, tried it on ladder in a couple of TvZs.
In the end didn't even get a chance to try it, games were weird.

Flash has stated 5 rax isn't as powerful anymore. It's hard countered by lurker openings so it's actually safer to go for 4 rax.

For some reason this makes me smile

Current ASL maps are just not good for standard 5 rax openings. 5 rax is aimed at denying zergs 3rd base, and on maps like Crossing Field / Gold Rush / Outsider zerg can always take a safe 3rd gas. That's why Flash opts for gas openings where he can threaten fast 3rd expos with a dropship and transition into a more aggresive tank push to try do dmg before late game.

Did anyone just watch the stream and can explain what happened? oO
Flash had his ramp walled off with rax/fac and was just about to finish his ebay when the protoss attacked with 4-6 DT's, Flash pulled SCV's to repair the buildings, then the P morphed 2 DT's into a DA and Flash left the game. I'm very confused 
|
Did the P jump a DT over the wall by morphing a DA next to it? Game isn't up on Korhal yet so I can't watch it yet.
edit: Toss left the game not Flash, either he knew he lost because of the wall in so he was messing around or he made a mistake? Weird
|
Ooh, I guess I kinda missed that out of confusion^^ Thanks for clearing that up for me 
|
That TvT on FS he just did against Light was tense. A great TvT battle.I love watching a strong TvT on Fighting Spirit.
|
Anyone knows what Flash is doing? Trip...
|
Yep, I heard he's on vacation in Japan, relax, good for him before ASL5.
