What's Flash's ELO now?


probably something like -15 for the loss and +2 for each winm, so it -9
All what KT currently needs is a Zerg and a second Terran

nope, you lose your third, you basically lose the game, except for some very special circumstances/games/maps


but Flash had no turrets in his main/expo?

I wonder if Calm had gone in if he had known.


Hard to say - I would go with the reasoning of levels (similar to poker) where flash knew that calm didn't know that he didn't have any turrets. This means that flash could be late on turrets as long as he was agressive with a minimally small mnm force.

The game kind of came down to calm not doing enough damage with his muta, however you want to interpret that.


Flash had either of 3 things. Turrets, 3 rax producing marines (Which can fend Muta Harass off *Enough* to make losing his third GG), or some crazy build that Calm could've just backstabbed and killed.

Flash is done with crazy builds. Atleast it seems that way.

2392....Yikes Calm had like the 4th highest ELO, winning 3 was probably worth +15 and losing 1 was -12.

Game 3 was all but boring, it clearly shows that Flash can also play long and tedious games. Didn't give an inch of his territory and bleeding Calm slowly but surely.

It was actually quite beautiful.


uh, when has flash's ability to play management games ever been in doubt?
it's what he's most known for

his nick went from "cheesy bitch" two years ago to "turtle terran"
just that recently he has reverted back to using cheeses more often, instead of 14ccing every game and losing to 9 pools everytime

i wonder if flash sent his rine in last game because while he was microing his scv he accidently rallied his rax to where his scv was while checking the progress of his rines.

It seems like zerg needs to play close to a perfect game to win against Flash.

Good series. Kudos to Calm for making a match of it.

DOESN'T SUCK ANYMORE AHAHAHAHA


Flash was always good. He got knocked out of individual leagues early. This is the first year he's still in both leagues. I'm pulling for my boy Doh Jae Wook, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Ultimate weapon winning both the MSL and OSL this year.


We know. We've always known Flash was amazing. A real Flash fan truly saw past the disappointing losses from a slightly immature, overworked kid. But Flash seems to have grown up between the seasons and now he's truly executing the potential that made everyone think another Oov was about to come about during Bacchus/GSI.

And it's so good.

The coaches have given him practice time off of proleague matches to practice for this too.

I still think Jaedong gave Calm his game 2 HBR strategy. :3

Zergs need to figure out a way to stop Flash's pre-defiler death push. It's insane how much killing power it has.

Calm played a damn near perfect match in set 3, capitalizing on his early advantage, and brutal sci vessel sniping. Still wasn't enough. >_>

The finals are gonna have less than 60 pages.

Because it was the real finals.
I love Shine and as KaL member I definitely root for him.
However, neither Shine nor Movie even stand the SLIGHTEST chance against this kid.
Maybe with some luck the finals will only be 3-1 with either Movie or Shine somehow "squeazing" out a win, but that's it.

That being said, Movie and Shine both deserve to get to the finals - especially Shine considering his incredibly hard road and both of em COULD normally win it - if not for the sake of Flash being literally unbeatable right now.

I would've gone for Zerg's Nat, and then main. I don't see why 3rd would be a better target if both places are undefended.

THen Calm would've been fucked.

I think Calm knew Flash had no turrets inside his main (from game re-watching game 3, which I hope he did), but he couldn't risk it.

I guess not. I switched my fan loyalty to Jaedong after Flash got raped like a noob in Gom season 1. But I will admit that Flash has been playing like a beast recently. Hope he chokes

Flash's vZ ELO peak is 1 shy of Oov, 1 or 2 more vZ wins should slide him into 2nd all time for vZ ELO.

Movie's road was just as hard, he had to beat Light and By.Hero in the round of 36, than beating Zero in the round of 8.
Flash, ForGG, and Movie fan.

Beauty of being a fan is sticking with your player even when he plays like shit, because then when he finally comes back to wreck shit, the feeling's great.

I'm still waiting for by.hero to win a Starleague ;O
