Basically, Flash's judgement, which is the strongest point about his game, left him in game 3.
Really looking forward to Stork vs Jaedong. I can see Stork not even bothering to practice and just go with cannon rushes or 9/9 gate. If it works, it works. If it fails... he wasn't going to win straight up anyway.
Stork's never gonna cannon rush, you kidding me? He'll win with standard or lose with standard. That's his style.

Game 2 was pretty garbage. Bisu kinda just died. I wasn't gonna recommend game 3 either, but the level of play from both sides was quite stellar. I actually am a protoss fanboy. My team tag carries no real meaning. It's the players I root for, not the team.
Well, either Bisu or JD will lose, b/c that's what they always do when it seems like they'll meet in series play. As for the Stork PvT vs Bisu PvT. I'd say Bisu has better mechanics, but Stork plays it better. I mean Stork beat Fantasy on Destination using nothing but zealots and dragoons for the most part.

Stork plays a lot more non-standard than you'd think. The guy switch styles based on maps. A few examples off the top of my head.
He cannoned rushed twice on SCY. He went 1-base 3-gate speedlot rush on Tears of the Moon He went goon/sair on Outsider He went sair/reaver/carrier on Andromeda and Neo Reqium. He also 12 Nex more than another protoss in PvT.
Stork usually plays non-standard on maps unfavorable for protoss though. And based on his interview, you know he doesn't think much of his chances.

I thought game 2 was an absolutely brilliant and ballsy timing attack by flash. As a terran player it made me go wow as much as either of the other games

You might still see Bisu vs JD in the 3rd place match!
JD vs Bisu in the 3rd place match would be better, then they actually might play serious because the loser won't get to go.. now the chances for that happening are quite low ;p

I'm gonna side with fusionsdf on that one. Game 2 for me, as a Terran players, was great. That was superb timing attack which caught Bisu with his pants around his ankles. It's not that he just died. Bisu himself admitted in the winner interview that he "didn't think" about the build that Flash used.
So to sum up, it was a great game from strategical point of view, but without any flashy moments. I guess what determines whether the game is "good" or not is very subjective, but I personally would have recommended whole series.

that wasn't 14 nex it was 12 nex. he built his nexus on 12. that is a 12 nex. i dont mean to be a dick but the difference is pretty important. they even have the little supply counts at the bottom right..
