I'd like to see his play still, just out of curiosity, does he have a YouTube or is he allowed to stream or anything? lol

Although FBH isn't top terran, he's still damn good and manages to qualify ASL. And seeing how FlaSh's Z roasted him, that ensnare usage was brilliant.

FBH’s build was pretty terrible though. Two port wraith like that is pretty tough to pull off in modern game.

2 port wraith is viable. You see it used all the time in streams successfully. Just not this time.

Leaving aside the question of how good FBH’s build and execution were, did anyone else find Flash’s muta defense unusual? He split his mutas into small groups often. At one point he was chasing an almost-dead wraith with mutas and an overlord when his mineral line was attacked by other wraiths. He sent his mutas back immediately, and I was just thinking the almost-dead wraith was going to get away when I realized Flash had left one muta to chase it, and that muta killed the wraith. There were several other times when he used task forces of various sizes to get things done, whereas I’m used to seeing mutas all in a clump.

Perhaps other Zergs already play this way and I’m not giving them enough credit, but I thought I detected a kind of Flash-like flexibility of thinking and response. I’m excited to see more of his offracing.
May the BeSt man win.

I kind of noticed Flash doing that too, but didnt pay much attention to it. And I dont remember other Zs doing this with Mutas, they always harass/force turrets or delay the T pushes by baiting stims. Also his flanking at the end was great, it closed out the game.

Flash's zerg reminded me a lot of Calm. It wasn't mechanically impressive compared with other zergs, but it was well thought out with good decision making. I know this is far too early to make any generalizations but I wouldn't be surprised if this this is the direction his offraces take.
Why would I play sctoo when I can play BW?

Just watched his zvts vs by.barracks. im not sure if he randomed z or picked Z but the games werent all that impressive. His Muta micro is definitely lacking. I dont see him doing well vs ASL quality terrans until he sorts that out.

That is very well said Sadist! Saw that match too and I was thinking that against a top terran player, like Light or Sharp or Last he would lose the game. But he got away with 2-0 against by.Barracks

I agree, his Zerg has been shown to be not as good as his Protoss. He seems to be able to coordinate darkswarm with lurkers well enough.

He randomed into Zerg twice. I think his macro was surprisingly good, but yeah, his micro was really meh in some places, but Flash has always been good at tailoring build orders to give him an advantage, so maybe he can get away with something like that in ASL.

That's true, but to be fair, FBH also split his wraiths, forcing Flash to split his mutas right?

Ya his ZvP seems pretty good but his ZvT is lacking. I have not seen his ZvZ but unless he can play a wonky style without Mutas hes probably in trouble. My guess is most Z would go 9 pool or 9 pool speedling vs his Random so he wont be getting much of an Advantage ZvZ with random.

Sadist what you said is 100% true and is also sole reason he is playing against Barracks and not light atm. I am sure Flash is well aware of areas that he needs to work on as both Zerg and Protos and he is taking the first steps to solve them. Puting aside the long discussion on random pros & cons, Flash switched to challenge himself not because he is right now on ASL Champion level with the Z&P races but to work and hopefully become in the near future. Let's enjoy the ride!
It's about time.
