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. but he chose to do two sets of guardian builds, which I cannot ever remember working against Flash. guardian builds, which I cannot ever remember working against Flash. | ||

Players like Fantasy, Calm etc. Sometimes makes good builds against dominating builds from 1. progamers (Fantasys vulture play). Weakness: Finding that surprise build that gives them enough time to get far leagues before counter gets made (sometimes it gets many tries/loses to get proper build). 3. Aggressive builds. Players like Kwanro and such. They are at best when 1. and 2. Are fighting to get proper counters to their builds. Abuses build order holes. Weakness: Solid play from 1. progamers should beat these guys. Wonder if Flash plays newly experimented Fantasys late mass vulture switch which he played vs Zero. If he does Kwanro is going to win. I love how Flash switched to Aggressive builds to totally throw Kwanro off. Mindgame! | ||

If he does Kwanro is going to win. 1. is actually more fantasy i think. When fantasy went through his tvp streak he did the same build every game. I think 1 should not be mastering builds but people who adapt to their opponent. For example the difference between a player like let say fantasy,rock and someone like flash is that. When fantasy and rock prepare a special build for a particular map they do that build no matter what they see from their opponent. I remember reading of july vs rock I didnt actually see it but read that rock prepared a 1 gate reaver build and july went 2 hatch muta and rock scouted and still didnt change his build and lost. Another example is fantasy vs jaedong. Fantasy prepared a tech build for rotk but he got a position where if he walled his units would spawn on the outside. Instead of switching his build and doing a build like 1 rax fe where he doesnt have to wall in he takes a risk and just made the wall and loses to 9 pool+speed. A person like flash does tend to prefer specific flexible builds but hes a player who if he sees a zerg go 3 hatch no pool, even though he prepared lets say 1 rax fe late game, he might do a scv+rine all in and switch to 2 rax acad. He reacts to his opponents play. | ||

Just finished watching. I found all games pretty intense, just because it was the semifinals. I agree the game would have been a bit more interesting if we had seen 1x science vessel or lurker but I think it's a testament to Kwanro's...um..."play style"...that the only game he won was an all-in ling and didn't even bother trying to get into the late game. | ||

IMO, the progamer with the most amount of success for such little talent and inspiration. | ||
