I like how he takes his hands off the keyboard for 10 seconds at a time and yet his average APM is still higher than mine.

If i may add something, maybe it would be more beneficial to the streamers to add subs to videos on their channels? That way we benefit from subs, and you're not in danger of getting in hot water for reposting + they get their views?

Very nice but the 9 facting part i think is a bit harder for noobers like me to do, control groups for 180 supply terran not so easy i think, anyway its a really nice video

I would assume it is because he has played the matchup so many thousand times that he just understands how far the protoss can potentially be at this point etc.

Great stuff, jinjin! Really appreciate the effort.

Did Flash intentionally botch his own micro in the early push? He mentioned that 2-fac is a BO disadvantage against 2-gate, but still went ahead with the push - is the safer play to go on defence and macro up (e.g. invest more in vulture + mines instead of tank)?
gg no re thx

He knows the MMR of the opponent therefore he knows he will always be ahead.

A lot of things lead to that insight, it's not very mystical tbh.

1) He scouts a 2gate opening, trades a few tanks vs goons, sees that there's no nexus at 6.09 = he knows his natural expo is not too late, economies are probably even.
2) He denies Protoss' third at 6.40 for a while, that's a +
3) He handles the reaver-harrass well, +
4) He crushes the push at 10.40, ++
5) He sees a super-late 3rd at 11.50 (when his is already up), ++

--> Protoss is already dead vs Flash's macro.


Don't let the title give you a wrong impression: The 2fact, yes, everyone can do with 150 apm, but winning the game like this from 6.00 onward is a whole different story, not even so much for the apm but the handling and decision-making.
He's just teaching a safe/aggressive opener everyone can do, then plays a normal game (a bit laid back probably because of the opponent's level).

I loved how he casually told his opponent he's going to 2fac and no DT rush, okay?

Thank you for the upload jinjin! So funny how casual he is interacting with his views while playing. "Let's just a-move" etc.. ^^ Please make more of these from Flash.

You "only" need about 100 apm to macro generally, but just hotkeying and moving units gets Flash to 230 apm and when he reinforces his army it rises to 300 even when he was trying to limit his apm. He was also dodging storms and moving several groups of units. Can't characterise that as a move.
