One important point about this game is that mined out starcraft is different from regular starcraft. The game played played out that way because harassment becomes ineffective, and the top priority is to fight cost effectively.

How can Protoss players whine about Terran though when someone like Best can be nearly invincible in PvT and he doesn't even make HTs?

sigh.. it makes me kinda sad that anyone here is impressed by either player in this one

embarassing performance on both sides


Makes me sad how few people realized that BeSt never had a chance at any time in the game...


yeah seriously its as if people see a big army and just discount everything that has lead to that point and go 'oh surely it must be even now, look best has 3 mining bases and flash has zero, surely he will win!'

nevermind the endless bank flash had from mining out four bases inside 20 minutes and losing barely any units the entire game -_-

I had no clue best could even outexpand after being behind 4 base to 2. I thought the 1o2o3o4o of 3/3 tank army of flash would just ripe him apart effortlessly.

=(

This is my second TvP I've seen since flash vs bisu on medusa in a long time though ... I guess it just always looks like protoss can win .....


it would have torn best apart, if flash had attacked at nearly any point in the game after he killed best's nat. his army was essentially unkillable for the entirety of that snoozer


ok.... then that is fucking weak then.

I think not being able to read a TvP or TvT minimap makes it harder for an uninformed observer(me).

Flash played the way he did BECAUSE of the map

12 can be nuked (which he did), and he can take 6 anytime

Which means Toss will at any point of time always be at 3 gas, and as long as Flash shows strong defence against recalls and/or straight on breaks, he knew he'll win.

Which was what he did.

Wasn't one of the changes to Match Point supposed to make it so that you can't nuke there anymore or is that PL only version?

pretty boring game but the scv buffer shield and the mass patrol for recall defense was pretty interesting.

Are the scv buffers worth the supply they take up? I really feel like I'd rather have the extra vultures but there must be reason for them.


No, not particularly. But Flash had 1 mining expo at that time so had a glut of excess SCVS. At that point it's either suicide them or put them to some use. Either way is kinda meh.


But with the excess of minerals he accumulated off of 4 bases, wouldn't he have been better off just suiciding them and resupplying with vultures? That's what confused me since a decent while later he did that anyways

This entire deal was to just demoralize best going into a 3-0 though. Flash obviously had no problem trying to draw out the game whereas Best is desperate. Flash probably plans to crush Best early again by exploiting his mental state. July all over again.

This.

The other possibility is that Flash, knowing that in has past games against Best he's played overly aggressive, tried to play passive in order not to throw away his lead. Obviously it was unnecessary and he way overdid it, but still, it's a thought.

This is most probably be true, but it anyways is kinda boring if you have such a huge lead, to just drag on the game for ever...

flash's tvp for the past few games were really hwasin/old forgg style in nature. A lot of of timing push oriented.

maybe faksteve needs to take off his sea-colored goggles and realize that most players would have quit from the Toss's perspective after getting his third attacked or most Terrans would have quit after the second recall. efficient openings or even playstyle aside, this was an example of great strategy and personality, if not mechanics.



LOL?


He forgot to say on D level iccup ...


lol look flash sent in TWO waves of scvs for reinforcements because it was too much. one wave got stasised, the second turned the tide. if it wasn't for the second wave to push best back the tanks would have been too slow to defend and that expo.. probably woudlnt have gone down but it would have been close

terran palyers tend to exagerrate teh effectiveness of HTs. they're nice and all.. IF they dont get insta squashed by vults/tanks, or EMPd, and your opponent clumps tanks ups. they're nice, but they're not as good as terran players seem to make out

that wasn't the change

the change was making gas un-harassable by marines from that small wall (not the one dividing it and the main)

the 12/6 expansions can still, unfortunately, be nuked.
