EPTFlash sealing the deal with a 'cheese' build was smart but robbed the series of its epicness. I had to go eat and ran back to watch the series only find it lasted a few minutes. JD could've saved his drones, get another sunken up, and then attack the bunker. Although I'm not sure if his hatch would've survived. Still, 4 scvs on repair is way too much for lings + some drones.

Even chill says it's cheese. well if chill says so then it must be true then. after all he is the tl strategy section mod and knows the intricacies of neo hbr, the tendencies of jaedong, and precise and ultimately flawless execution of flash's "cheese". if flash can do it, why can't chill? | ||

So i said 'whatever im not even gona bother argueing' and he said something like 'Just as you should' or 'theres nothing to argue' So overall my day is fuck yeah awesome!!! what about you guys? What a dick. You feel down, talk to your mom about it like... well, family, and he decides to show you he's boss with kiddy-level posturing? What a dick. edit: Hell, next time he talks like that, just tell him he's a dick, if he gets pissy, explain, and repeat, until he understands that he's being a dick. | ||

Flash 8raxs (Which isn't even cheese it's just early pressure on a 1 player map): FUCKING NOOOB OMG. fantasy cheesed JD out of PL#1. So JD cheesed him back Flash cheesed JD for no reason at all. This build is so important to Flash in many ways. The obvious one is that it allowed him to advance. It also messes with his opponents because now they have to be worried about such things. Flash has a tendency to come up with a beautiful build or strategy that works well, but then he sticks to it in such a predictable way that his opponents always pick him apart eventually. The last reason is he gets to celebrate christmas faster. | ||

Flash prepared a brilliant strategy and executed it perfectly. It wasn't TvZ imba, and it wasn't Flash stealing Christmas; the preparation alone was Starcraft at the highest level. And contrary to the myth, Jaedong doesn't automatically win BO3s or BO5s against the odds by magically activating death stare mode. If he wins, he does it because he's the better player, or better prepared than his opponent. Flash is playing much better than Jaedong right now and would've been the favorite to win both a lategame in game 2 and an eventual game 3. Also, Shine deserves some love. Maybe he "can't win from a disadvantage", but if that's so, then given his recent record, he's certainly good at putting himself in advantageous positions. And that's certainly a very useful talent toi have. His games have been very entertaining. Movie vs Shine should be a great matchup. | ||
