Of course flash is losing a bunch. He just started playing again and he's been doing the same builds over and over which is predictable. Playing to improve and get skill back, not to win  When Flash is fully back, he'll probably start doing builds that punish what his opponent is doing. Like he use to. | ||

Anyone of these players can get #1 by spamming games playing non-pros/top amateurs and a few games vs other pros. The most significant indicator these stats has to give us is who practices the most. Yeah, kinda sucks being clueless 31 year old guy who was playing BW using a broken lan cable when Windows XP was the best PC OS and translating progamer interviews from Chinese for Russian web sites. | ||

He played a lot with free, today's score was 4:3. 6th game is a must watch, really sick although chat agreed that both of them played rather sloppy. | ||

BesT and Movie are giving flash a hard time on BW. | ||

You both are probably talking about "수고하셨습니다" or some variant of it which has the same effect as like saying GG at the end of a game. If you want to know more of the nuances behind it this might help http://www.scribd.com/doc/128780692/Talk-To-Me-In-Korean-Level-5-Lesson-3 . If you scroll down a little its the 2nd expression. | ||

SK Terran is definitely not hard countered. That would imply that it always gets beaten, regardless of execution and micro, and that is just not true. Terms like hard counter should not be overused for things like this. With proper SK play you constantly harass and put pressure on the Zerg, while using all the gas you save by not making mech on creating a vessel cloud so you can irradiate the Zergs gas heavy units into oblivion. Sure, if you cannot poke a single hole in the Z defence, get any map control while Zerg is sitting comfortably on 4+ gas, throwing dark swarms in your natural, the game is over, but then you've simply been outplayed. SK is still a perfectly viable style, and it is not hard countered. It is however probably the most mechanically demanding thing a T can do, and Zergs have gotten so good defensively that it's simply easier, more solid and consistent to just switch to mech, split the map and abuse the true power of Terran; the defence. | ||

No, SK is fine vs Lurker/Defiler. Mech switch is a thing because of Ultralisks armor. Marines deal low dmg on a high rate of fire, which is a problem against high armor targets since the dmg reduction is calculated for each attack. This means that the number of bio units you'll need vs a Ultraling army is too high to be manageable, APM-wise. | ||
