He had great macro, he'd just always waste all of his units in the most ridiculous way possible, especially in TvZ. | ||

Jaedong had his chance last week for a normal straight up game and blew it. Flash prepared a wicked sick strategy and caught Jaedong red handed. Flash was the better player this time around. I hope Jaedong wins the MSL. This. It was a brilliant strategy by Flash. If it was so easy and Terrans can easily win by using it why other Terrans didn't use it before? I laugh my ass hard when people always complain about Flash style. It seems always like some retards think that Flash is breaking some honour code by using imba strategy (turtling and now this cheeese at HBR). The truth is that no Terran can replicate what Flash is doing and this "cheese" was super innovative. Catching the ovie and blocking the supply was really genius move by Flash. At that moment the game was over. Jaedong was not match for Flash and you should swallow. I did not cry after Flash lost to Jawedong 0:3 in Gom because I believed that JAedong was a better player that time though he used gay 2 hatch muta each game. Now Flash is playing better and it was Jaedong who did not deliver that series. Hope for now epic series between Flash and Calm in the semis. Better than another ZvZ anyway. | ||

And Flash is not playing standard in 99.9% of his games? He was playing so standard that it hurts. One cheese doesn't make him cheeser. He is still about one of the players that plays most standard. | ||

why is flash's strategy that brilliant?? 8proxyrax bunkerrush is nothing new it has being used for like 8 years it is brilliant to use it on that map because you can kill zerg's overlord? if you play tvz on that map 10 hours a day for a whole week it should not be THAT difficult to find out that a zerg player can not hide his overlord, come on you can argue that jaedong chose the wrong opening but flash's strategy was no brilliant at all. it might have been executed perfectly, no doubt. but it is not like that was some genius move that nobody could have come up with | ||

If it is such an easy win and easy to come up strategy why no other Terran use it? Or wait, there is the honour codex that only Flash dares to break, right? | ||

He's decent in comparison to most other toss right now but saying he would 'probably' rape Calm is ridiculous. Calm even beat him the last time they played. While stats are not everything we only need to look at his recent record to see that while his playstyle is nice it doesn't always lead to wins, while Calm has lost only 4 ZvP's in 18 matches, and 3 of those were in BO3's that he won... hes 80% overall this year. Its not even close. | ||

You'd know this if you realized that after Jaedong's overlord completed and he built two drones, he was still at 9 supply, and he built his hatchery at 11 supply. | ||

But it was a brilliant build nonetheless, like Flash said in the interview, even if JD had gone for a 9 pool, the OL snipe would still allow him a chance to win. edit: at 2:50, he built his 8th SCV after building the barrack outside | ||
