So interesting seeing how the top level works with build order preparation and strategy.

Since Flash is so good at hindsight talk, I'm not sure I would believe everything he says here. Probably still >75% though.
Flash is just the king of best-ofs and he can literally simulate build orders/timings in his dream. How can you beat that?
Either gimmicks, brute force or somehow outplay him in the mind games. Only Effort can do that consistently to Flash.

thanks for the translation....the amount of mind games and reaction to the smallest things is really amazing.

It was also funny in the beginning his lines of "i know, im not stupid!" :D eheh imagine him having to justify his decision in this game to the chat :D

That said... I do think Snow could have played a bit better and we wouldn't have had this video. Like I doubt Snow's point of view is all praise to Flash even if he's really modest and honest.

I really do think Snow usually plays better. My pet theory is that a lot of people tend to choke against Flash now. He is clearly the greatest player to play the game, but that's now amplified by his opponents' fear.

Flash talks a lot about betting on there being no DT. It would be cool if he was thinking next series (if there ever were one) that he would have to be extra on the outlook for DTs, since he talked so much about it here. And then Snow went for some build with Citadel first - maybe even let Flash see it - only to go for some mass speedlot timing attack against a ton of tanks with practically no vultures, instead!
It's ok. I still love you <3

I think he said it more like [I'd be fine against DTs if I reacted fast enough].
I assume he means stuff like mines, or natural wall-in, or whatever.

Pretty sure that the only thing that'd really screw him over would be DT drops.
Considering that he didn't overinvest in turrets and expanded at reasonable timeframe, he'd be okay against fast arbs, too...

As for sudden speed zealots...well, that really needs the surprise factor. As in, they need to cross the map / get to the tanks undetected.

Most important take-aways from this:

a) For the time being, Flash has to be pressured to start using only forks and spoons instead of chop-sticks.

b) If you have any means to, help advance stem cell therapy so his arm can get fixed for good.

So he'll be able to play seriously again in the future.
