I was worried about him building SO MANY turrets, but his econ was almost totally unharassed! Beautiful defense by Flash, Calm showing why 2-hatch muta simply doesn't work anymore.

Well with better muta micro it could still work ...

That was a PRETTY POOR muta micro by Calm

Calm should've just rushed Hive, would've given him a slightly better chance than whatever the hell he was trying to do there

It seemed to be that Calm was banking on super effective result from his muta harass, perhaps hoping for a repeat of Flash v.s. Hyun or Flash v.s. Zero?

Horrible muta control from Calm first game cost him the game instead of flash's superplay. There was one turret up in his main, had this been JD it would have been over then.

Zero was pretty much the best chance for a zerg to take down Flash in a starleague. Lousy greater spires... T.T

yup. set 2 between ZerO and Flash was the only recent game where Flash got convincingly rolled by a zerg.

Should we expect another cheese from Flash or will Flash play standard?

the thing that makes me gape is that calm didn't play poorly at all. his mutalisk micro was very solid, his defense likewise. the only real mistake calm made was playing flash.

it seems to me that it's no longer a question of whether flash will beat you, but how hard he's going to stomp your balls in the process.

No Calm did not play that perfect or anything. This all in muta bullshit I have been seeing lately has worked 1 out of the 10 times I have seen it. Pro's that are doing this need to realize it rarely works going muta that long... Get lurker out sooner jesus christ ><.

He lasted a while in game set 1, too. It's okay. There hasn't been a terran champion in a long time... Since ForGG, for God's sake... But I'm getting ahead of myself. There's a long way to go before the finals of either league.
