Whenever he loses it's because of map imba, because he made a mistake, cheese, or pretty much any excuse but that he got outplayed.


Really? Making a mistake is different from getting outplayed now?

What about Flash's turret timing and placement? I'd say that he was less prepared this time.


I would say that even Flash cannot get away with placing turrents everywhere asap, they still cost money and those SCVs aren't mining.

And the double turret snipe at the expo whit muta ling, while Flashs M&M were expecting the mutas in the main was basically his main problem, If he could have hold that spot without massive loses, he would have had more marines to close the hole in his defence with them.

In the end, when Flash suicided small groups of marines into those mutas, the game was already over.

Hoping for a longer game now

Flash's barrack placement was really poor, or... calm was able to take advantage of the barrack placement.

Maybe both.

Wish we could see a longish game even though that won't happen. I still think Flash has this 3-1

Fun fact, Flash has only lost 1 game total on the next 3 maps in the linup. Many of the wins are against Zerg.

Calm gonna have his work cut out for him.

It is very probable that this was actually what Jaedong was aiming to do to Flash in their last game. Proxy hatch muta seems like a very Jaedong-esque strategy to me.

Shine > Stork on El Nino
Map stats: 8-2 ZvP
Fanboy: "Shine is gay, just won on an imba map!"

Calm > Flash on HBR
Map stats: Almost even in both versions TvZ
Fanboy: "Stats don't mean anything! It's a zerg map!

See the problem here?

To be honest Flash apologist are atleast rational as compared to Bisu and Jaedong apologist who dont even use coherent logic in their johns for their respective favorite player.

I blame more on Flash carelessly losing his first marine group (very crucial to defending 2 hatch mutas) rather than the map.

edit: actually, i blame a lot more on calm playing well

Just one thing to keep in mind with the HBR debate -

most of the stats collected there were not 1 rax expand games. So they do not necessarily say a whole lot about the difficulty in defending muta harass with bio there.

Remember when mech/fake mech was really popular?

When Flash takes a risk and it pays off, it's brilliance. When he takes a risk and it doesn't pan out, it's map imba.

We need more Zerg fans in this room!

You can't ignore the map but you ought not to blame it.

Just drop it already.

I have to wonder: how is it that someone can actually have bad turret placement at the pro level? Shouldn't they have the ideal locations mapped out well ahead of time? That seems so ridiculously easy to plan ahead for.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I agree, a little variety would be nice.

Damn blizzard for invalidating mech/fake mech.
Also, do you have exact evidence? This is just fuzzy logic and won't get anywhere.
