you really have no idea what you're talking about, please stop. that game was like lose-at-courage level by best and utterly passive by flash

You are what d, d+ ? And you think your understanding of starcraft is good enough for you to distinguish between "lose at courage" and top 2 in the world pvt?

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


Meh, I attribute it to Flash trying to be cute (and passive), which he was the whole game. As many people have pointed out, Flash could have just pushed at any time during that game and won.

IT IS OBVIOUS that BEST lost the game as soon as he let FLASH get the 6oclock.
if BEST had committed all his units/recalls/stasis to deny that base, he would have WON so easily because flash was mined out.

in a map that is equal in bases...why the fuck would you let a TERRAN match you in number of bases? BeSt can be sooo dumb argh

Maybe u meant FLASH camped so well? This was a game of a man (Best) vs a pussy (Flash)

hahahaha this is gold. i agree completely.

well, let's look at our flash hater flow chart.

you're right, he didn't cheese or try one of his standard pushes, he must be a pussy now

even if best turtled up too, clearly flash is at fault

I noticed that Best rarely makes HT in PvT. That was the key reason why he lost against Lomo in the Grand Final. I am not sure why. He simply doesn't mine all of his gases and he simply refuse to make HT.

Yet it was HT that won him the game against Flash in the proleague. The man either loves his arbiters a little too much or hates HT with a passion.

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.

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...

he played like that because he knew that BeSt has no choice but to take 12 at some point of time, where which Flash will then nuke him.

Flash wanted to nuke him.

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?

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

plus you kinda have to sacrifice your arbs if you want to get templar. Best thinks having 1 arb is worth more than 2 templar, esp since he has no upgrades for his templar

No, when Flash was mined out he had lost practically no units and easily had over 7K minerals and 5K gas while still mining gas at bottom right.

Best now trying to snipe Flash's Bunker with Goons. Repair imba is holding him off though.

Tank making right now for Flash.

What a sad Turtlefest that game was... Why didn't Flash attack more in the early game? Why did Best Suicide his army into Flash tank line instead go for the draw? Anyway a really sad game for Starcraft...

Best couldnt go for the draw. Terran can try to force a draw, Toss have to attack or get slow pushed to death.


Well, lets hope Flash stops turtle and start to entertain us then, for the sake of Starcraft fans that want some action.

Apparently good enough to call that game correctly. =p
Watch the VOD. Watch Best's make no fucking sense build and his nat getting raped.
Than, watch Flash sit there THE WHOLE GAME DESPITE HAVING A BETTER ECONOMY, BIGGER ARMY, BETTER UPGRADES, EVERYTHING MORE. k.
