I don't remember the details of the games, but he did knock Flash out of the last MSL with a 2-1 win in ro16. Of course, Flash wasn't running over every opponent at the time, the way he does now, but it still gave Kwanro a small shot in my opinion. I was hoping for more all-ins from Kwanro, though.

Using a statistic example of four games to claim the other player doesn't stand a chance is pretty dumb. I don't think anyone said Kwanro was a favorite in this but I would say anyone who makes it to the semis has at least a very small chance of winning.

The details were everything. If I remember correctly, that period was during the strange time that Flash was the greediest player in the proscene and would constantly skimp on turrets and units during the early game and would often go 14CC and die to stuff like 9 pool. If I remember right, that's pretty much how he lost set 3 of that series.

I think Flash is still cutting it close with the timings for certain things but he's definitely building lots of turrets and isn't really going 14CC constantly and getting mauled by aggressive builds.

Of course I thought Kwanro would give Flash a decent fight, due to his aggressiveness, but he chose to do two sets of guardian builds, which I cannot ever remember working against Flash.

If this was the case, I stand corrected.

It's pretty crazy how Flash has gone from being one of the most predictable players to one of the most unpredictable.

It's obviously working, at any rate. TvZ was Flash's worst matchup 6 months ago, at 62.3%. Now it's 70%.

Feels better now doesnt it? oh and ignore anyone who says your post is stupid becuase its always better to vent your emotions than to have them boil inside you.


Did you know it is possible to vent without doing it in a public, retarded, and relatively permanent manner?


Well i doubt he got anyone at home to vent to about this... i mean do you honestly think his parents wouldnt laugh him out of the room if he said that something gaming related pissed him off?

True his subject and manner might not have been the best but atleast the chance of people on this site understanding his plight is alot higher.

Why are people rooting for Kal over Jaedong? We already have a TvP final in OSL

If you think Movie will just roll over you're an idiot. Movie has at least 30% equity in a BO5 with Flash

We already have an epic TvP coming up, don't underrate Movie

Let's root for an epic TvZ to go with it

Jaedong > Kal one time

Tried to 8rax, failed his scout (SCV turned back just before it saw the creep, so he didn't realize Kwanro was at the 11 spot), Kwanro 9pooled, Flash retreated back to his base and didn't use SCVs to block his ramp to try to make up for his economic disadvantage...and then he got Kwanrolled by zerglings.

If you look only at this series Flashs builds were genius.

But if you think further at the possible Jaedong vs Flash finals I am like wtf.

Jaedong looking at those games will surely never go 12 hatch against Flash. He will most likely go 9pools or 12pools. Which makes Flash's possibilites quite low.

Afaik early pool builds negate early rax, 14ccs and Flash's favourite BO his very early rax expand.

This means Flash will have to completely change his game plan, against 12hatch the Terran is usually the one aggressor, but against early pools (especially against Jaedong) he will have to wait much longer to expand to his natural now.

Can anyone more skilled than me explain why Flash did those things TODAY and not keep them till the finals?

Other factors contributing to his loss were

-Ling speed before Lair, unscouted
-8rax was outside of his base and needed to be lifted off, losing marine training time

This is the kind of perfect storm of tiny mistakes that needs to occur in order for Flash to ever lose a game, it seems

Dont forget we had plenty of protoss in finals before the swarm season.

Four protoss in MSL semifinals, remember?

He's not Zerg, he's Jaedong!
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.
