Why isn't anyone talking about Hoejja's brilliant play in game 3? :<
Without him, Flash never would have even had a chance to play. And he played phenomenal... Was it Hoejja's brilliant play or Kal's mistake to not leave reavers and HT at his bases? Er did you guys even watch the same game I did? I saw Hoejja tearing down bases while HT's stormed and reavers defended. Hoejja plagued reavers with defilers, continuously dropped lings EVERYWHERE, and controlled the mid. It wasn't so much a "mistake" as it was Kal trying to take the initiative and then getting outmaneuvered by just ridic multitask on Hoejja's part. P can't really split up their ball of death into 8 different little parts. Hoejja could with good obs sniping and lurker defense in the mid. That game was most definitely Hoejja playing amazing not Kal massively noobing. I'm really amazed people aren't impressed by this game and feel the need to complain about bunker rushing instead. Bunker rushes have been around forever.
I watched the vod today and totally agree that HoeJJa played brilliant. I'm not surprised because his been known for his good ZvP for some time know. When Destination was in the roster he was often sent out to pwn tosses (remember when his burrow lings wrecked havoc in Bisus base, that warmed my heart).

HoeJJa played well...admittedly I've been a bit biased against him because he's let KT down so many times this season, but he really did well catching Kal off guard with that multi-front attack that turned the game around for him.
It was a really big surprise though, since Kal had already been practicing against Zerg a ton for his series against Jaedong.
What I really want is for Luxury to go back to performing like he did in R1 >:/

It's R2, Lux always performs bad in even rounds.
He'll be back for WL.

Sending out Calm for ace seemed like a kind of misguided move. Flash has probably been preparing almost exclusively on his TvZ for the MSL. Although It makes sense to send out STX's strongest player for the ace, I'm guessing that if they sent out Kal or Hwasin KT might not have even sent out Flash at all

I think they were hoping that Flash would feel apprehensive about revealing in-game timings and hence play subpar, which makes me wonder why Calm didn't smell a cheese coming...

Just so you know, KT don't know who STX was sending so no matter who they send, Flash would be send out no matter what.

TvP is the most balanced of the matchups.
It's only because of the massive Terran whine on TL that people complain about PvT.
"14 Nexus is auto win"
"DT's are so imba"
"OMG recall needs to be nerfed"
"All he did was 1a2a3a"
"Storms do too much damage"
"Carriers are auto win"
TvZ is easily the most imba matchup imo.

Your sig makes it really hard to take what you say seriously

Never take a highways post seriously.

i wish i can witness a protoss own as much as flash is right now soon before sc:bw phases out

Thank fucking god Azure got banned. Kid was trolling out of his mind.
Sadly if Flash beats JD in the MSL I expect a ton of whine posts like his.

Honestly, I don't understand it. Lee Young Ho is untouchable right now and so many people cry about it. What is there to complain about? YES HE'S JUST THAT GOOD
When he wins MSL and owns Winner's League, becoming God of all bonjwas, they will stfu.

But what if Jaedong beats Flash? It's happened before, and it sure as hell can happen again.

Then we go "welp", and we move on. Who the fuck cares who wins as long as we get good games. Because I'm bettting that whoever the winner is will win in an extremely unexciting manner due to the insane skill level of the players involved.

when i see the game times ends in 5 min on youtube i thought, "omfg calm will 5 pool"? but apparently not.
but on note to haters and complainers, Flash is good, deal with it. This is starcraft, a strategy game for fucks sake; either outplay your opponent or gtfo.

People don't really complain less when there's a bonjwa around.

One of the things I noticed in pro TvZ, PvT, and ZvP, is if the former lets the latter get to standard late game, the imbalance is greatly in the latter's advantage.

most of the perceived imbalance is mainly due to the power of cheese in the matchups
terran can gay zerg so hard
zerg can gay protoss so hard
and protoss can gay terran so hard
each of those matchups have a plethora of cheese available to them.. while the reverse dont have as many options.
