Great write-up. Flash played brilliantly in the first game; and it's great to read kwark highlight that. He was still amazing in the 2nd/3rd games but the fact that he was very close to losing had those attacks failed took away something out of those wins imo.
Reading abt the visit to korea was great too. Brought back memories of our own trip to the scbw capital of the world. Super worth it!! Our only regret was we didnt go early enough (during the height of BW in korea) and we didnt catch a finals game. To anyone on the fence about going, dont think, just do it!!! Hate to borrow something from today's young crowd -- but you only live once!!

This recap was kinda eh. 12 hatch 13 pool isnt revolutionary or even new, its the standard way to open in zvt going on at least two years now. You need to catch up on modern strategies Kwark.

My bad. If there's not a Protoss in it then I'm out of the meta. But I feel like I've seen 12 11 quite a lot in recent vods too. My understanding is 12 11 > 8 rax at nat > 12 13 > 10 rax > 12 11. Shine got seriously punished for going 12 13 in the quarters.

Last I heard, there would be an ASL team battle before the next ASL 4.

I enjoyed the write-up, there were a lot of details I didn't notice during the games.

I was also at the final with my friend, I think we saw you guys sitting up front in the VIP section taking photos.

We were sitting on the Shine side, in about the 5th or 6th row of regular seating.

Great recap! Picked out tiny but game-changing details that I missed.

Flash's relentless scouting in G1 was very smart. It was very likely that Shine will try an unorthodox build to set the tone of the series and break Flash's momentum. Flash sniffed it out brilliantly by playing super safe and keeping units home (whereas in G2 and G3 he was just on super aggro mode).

Shine recovered well in G2 and G3. He played safe and solid, but clearly he couldn't keep up with Flash's mechanics even when he was eking out small wins here and there. Perhaps he could've taken a game or two had he stuck to his risky plays and forced more coin-flips. Or perhaps it would have made the series looked even more one-sided.

In game 3 Shine was definitely winning until the last few seconds. When Flash attack moved his army south and they split around the terrain that was a mistake big enough to lose the game over. An entire midgame army was wiped out with almost no losses for Shine. The dropship snipe at 3 pretty much sealed it, all Shine had to do was not die. With burrow for the eraser he probably would have won.

Recently on Jaedong's 'Escape from F' he was instructing everyone to go 13 pool so you can get that extra drone out earlier in order to keep up with Terran economy.

8 rax is a hard, hard counter to that though. When Shine went 12 13 and Mong went 8 rax Shine got reduced to like 7 drones.

It's not as hard as you might think. I mean, how do you defend an 8 rax when you 11 pool? It all comes down to the drones. 13 pool makes it a bit harder, but your already in the thick of it if you've been 8 raxed...
