Feel bad for best.

Well, the only thing in his way now is a possible bo5 with Jaedong for all the marbles in the MSL finals. Other than that, everything else is in the bag for him.

As far as all the BM talk, I actually think it was more BM for Flash in game 2 to turtle after he had basically assured victory and decide to get nukes for some reason when he could of just walked over Best and ended the game 30min earlier with no chance of a loss.

Yep, this means that nobody can beat him now. How disturbing..

Flash is beastly good, and a smart player aswell, and yet for some reason I just dont get too exited watching his play apart from thinking "jesus this guy's good". Odd stuff

Would be nice if we had a FPVOD during the 2nd game when Flash decided to alt-tab.

and there JD will show why he never lost a Bo5 against flash

sigh.. im usually so excited when Flash plays because i learn something new almost every time he has a match

unfortunately, today i saw a totally retarded game, and then saw how a properly executed 6fac timing beats four fucking pylon before nexus, which is not exactly groundbreaking information

siiiiiiiiiiiiigh

this is probably the detailed analytic reason why i also found these two games to be...
kind of a mixture of boring, a little annoying, a little frustrating, a little dull, and apathetic and emotionless after a while

there was a lack of 'passion' overall

lol when has flash's tvp ever been bad only an idiot would argue this

Being idiot is not noticing Flash record against the six dragons in 2009.

But yeah, Flash is good and these games proved his TvP is not clumsy at all. New year, new TvP.

not necessarily, I think. this is more like flash's peak performance (although these two games were far from spetacular imo), and even someone raping shit up loses sometimes. it's just that he loses less often

Flash now 2409 ELO - how long do you reckon he can keep this up? I think he'll get both SLs, so.... 2450?

not unless he can do that undefeated. Such high elo is very volatile, he would lose crazy amounts with just one loss.

I actually have to agree with you all you said. Game 2 wasn't even an interesting defensive situation. Flash's turtling is usually art in my eyes but this was shit.

+1. But also, all these people who want to see the same harass, multi-tasking, 'exciting' game over and over need to look in the mirror. Players play to win. They don't go easy on each other. Flash does NOT fool around. P has rolled over T for the most part in recent SC. Recall is normally auto-win (as you can see with just one recall going off 1/4 of flash's base was gone). To say there's an obviously-imba TvP map now and is the reason why Flash won gives the players no credit at all.. let's just blame the maps from here on out.

Flash played much better. Best didn't use HTs in game 1 on a map full of ramps and clusterfucks, he didn't even take his last gas. Then in game 2 he went one gate into macro probe mode, probably thinking of a repeat of game 1. But flash has tons of new tricks up his sleeve... a lot of which are timing rushes.

Stop the hate. Only the top-echelon of players understand the balance and dynamic play that separates the races and players. You didn't get your picture-perfect game to watch. Boo Hoo.
