How can FBH fail so hard to win against Flash?

Getting advantage against the best TvT player ever is so easy for him, but taking the win home is like impossible lol.

I honestly think it's mental. FBH freaks out and gets so excited that he's going to beat someone like Flash that he tries to do everything possible to ensure a safe victory. He's not confident enough in his skills, so he almost feels that it was luck that gave him the edge over Flash and now he has to translate that luck into some statistically impossible insurmountable advantage. Instead, he falls flat on his face and loses because Flash ofc will try the one thing that he sees could give him a chance at victory.\

Mental superiority. Flash looks for how to win. FBH looks for how NOT to lose.

If it was the Medusa game:

He was maxed that game and waited for Flash to mine out his last base and max out too and then get steamrolled.

No kidding, that must have been FBH's game plan, at least his decision making resulted to that.

No he won the game I was thinking of. He spent all the money building like 10 factories at once with machine shops pumping pure tanks and just a moving them.

My favorite part about that FBH v Flash match was Flash's decision to abandon his Nat. Flash has always had an incredible ability to very quickly assess a situation and make a quick response be it right or wrong (generally right). OSL finals v Movie game 4 is a good example, he gets a late glimpse at movie's 12 nex and within a second his response is on the way. I remember when watching the Flash v FBH game I thought it inconceivable that a player would abandon his natural. I mean it's called a NATURAL expansion, it's the natural place to first expand, it naturally belongs to you. In his position with his skill I would have mounted a defense of the natural and probably have lost the game because of it. Instead without missing a beat he abandons it and reuses the CC elsewhere. This reduces FBH's advantage gain from this exchange. Flash loses some mining time but FBH's units are stranded in a useless position.

FBH definitely screwed up that game, I'm not trying to argue that. Just stating my favorite part.

The position was worthwhile. FBH stopped an expansion in exchange for those mins. It was a good trade.

Oh absolutely, I wasn't trying to argue that. But it would have been a much better trade for FBH if he stopped the expo AND killed Flash's units that attempted to retake it.

I think everyone here is forgetting the very strong possibility that

Flash just became sleepy after demolishing the rest of KHAN (3 games in a row is pretty damn long) and thought that he could beat M18M while taking a nap.
