A quick, sad history of island maps in BW: There are of course the classics, usually only one starting base or one starting base with two geysers and a mineral only expansion (read: Paradoxx). Turns out (no surprise, just do the math!), that Shuttle Zealot into Shuttle Reaver (EDIT: Oh, and Corsairs, of course, which is the only think that Protoss actually needs to fork much gas into) into Carriers just dominates everything in this scenario.
In comes the "fix": Now there are cliffs everywhere where tanks can just kill an opponent for minimal investment (Gorky Island, Hall of Valhalla, Desert Fox – take your pick).
All the while Zerg simply starve to death, unable to grab an early expansion or two and get the gas economy that they so desperately need, and even more on Island maps where in addition to Mutalsisks and fast Hive, Ovi speed and drop are not optional.
So I guess overcompensation has reached its logical third and final phase now, where all the advantages are given to Zerg, before finally we can actually establish something that is fair for all races and an enrichment for the game/meta in general.

Hall of vallhalla is from 2001, paradox is from 2003, so is gorky. The history of island maps, basically, is: pure island maps as per blizzards initial release, like dire straits. Then they start making new ones like Space Odyssey, but just like dire straights theres only one quick gas. Pure island maps basically died out after the early 2000's, but some semi island maps continued on until the mid 2000's (dreams of balhae being the last decent classic semi island map made, which gave a quick second gas to zerg). Desert fox was 2006, but it was also a semi island map, just like most.

Maybe Flash's dad owns a car and drove Flash to the barracks? I wouldn't be surprised if many of the parents know each other.

I was actually thinking the same thing. Maybe the barracks is in a place kind of hard to get to with just public transportation and with the impression I get of Flash I don't think he would know how to drive so his dad drove him there.
