Flash is KNOWN for keeping his barracks lit all the time. You are basically asserting that any Terran progamer is on par with Flash in terms of macro abilities. An assertion I find ridiculous. | ||

His TvZ style doesn't seem to involve turtling, but rather early aggression, combined with constant scouting. | ||

There was one turret up in his main, had this been JD it would have been over then. JD wouldnt have lost so many mutas without killing some MMs on the way Come on Calm, you´re supossed to be a top3 Zerg, with excellent muta control. You can do better than this | ||

You're taking it wrong, what he's saying is that nowadays most terrans have macro good enough to keep 5-6 barracks lit. Hell, idra can do it. | ||

I would say the opposite, the way you beat a macro monster is by forcing them to play a game where they can't rely on macro to win... | ||
