Our streams got posted on both Chinese forums and 4chan. I think you can guess where the viewers came from... | ||

Although game 2 was boring from Flash it's BeSt's fault for having these dumb ass builds and refusing to try and play a straight up game vs Flash. Even before this series BeSt's wins against Flash were very well planned out build orders specifically for Flash (Collo and FS) or a mistake on Flash's part (TOTM)... (Obviously BeSt still deserves credit.. I'm just pointing it out) Can't rely on cutesy stuff every game to win a Bo5 BeSt -_-. Ugh his builds in game 1 and 2 were sooooo bad. Gas steal... into... nothing? Quick 3rd base... into... tech... so you have no units? BeSt fans have no one to blame but him for this ugly 0-3. Why not just play a normal game? Or at least have a creative cheese... or something. I think Game 2 showed why Best didn't play a straight up game. He has no clue how to beat Flash in a straight up slug out. He doesn't have better mechanics. He doesn't have better macro. He doesn't have better 200/200 management. And he doesn't have better troop movement. I think Best knew that Flash was a flat out better player, and that's how Best played. Zero confidence, zero flair, zero chance to win a Bo5. He acted like his only chance was with a cute BO and if that failed, well... GG 40 min later. | ||

Flash did invent the whole goliath part vs 2 base reaver (and carrier), emphasized vessels/emp more, revolutionized lategame decision making, and finished various optimizations of it. But yeah the original concept is not his. oov's pgt replays have him doing it lol. | ||

I even think I heard the announcers saying TEMPULAH TEMPULAH?!? a couple times like they didn't get it either. Then again, I'm also a little confused as to why Flash didn't drop a couple tanks/vultures into the 1-oclock expo after he nuked it, they would have been out of range of the cannons. At worst it'll make BeSt waste a recall/stasis or bring his army way out of position to go defend it... | ||

Maybe if Best could've absolutely crushed it and then recalled his remaining forces on top of the factories directly after or something, maybe, but I honestly doubt there was anything Best was gonna do after Flash had like 15 factories with 10 addons. | ||

oh wait.. On January 08 2010 12:30 StorkHwaiting wrote: I just saw the Flash v Best games and I've got to say I'm really disappointed. Best is starting to get on my nerves. We know you can macro already, dude. Wth don't you do something other than macro/recall? He literally played that entire game out like a mindless drone, macroing up a huge army and then losing it for 30 minutes straight. Was it not obvious that a pure dragoon/zeal/arb army was going to lose to Flash?? No templars in shuttle, no attempt to carrier switch. NOTHING. It's like Best was too dumb to know what to do when recall into main failed. That sums up Best and a lot of other progamers, macrobots. Game 2 was smart play from Flash. Even if Flash had the advantage after taking out Best's expansion, that doesn't mean that Flash could roll over Best at all. This is TvP where time and time again, a small mistake in a push hands the game over to the protoss, especially to someone like Best. It doesn't matter how much resources terran has because once protoss takes out your main terran army, the protoss blob will roll over your expansions and finish what's left of your statis army. Game 2 may be boring to some people, but that fault lies with Best. Even in Flash's interview, he said Best should be pressuring with his protoss army due to the nature of the map. | ||
