Just absolutely indefensible decision after meeting the Mutas in the middle to go TOWARD the Zerg base instead of going home. What was he thinking? That Firefist wouldn't just make Sunkens which he had the time to do? Skyhigh basically flipped a coin and said "I'm going to go forward and hopefully distract your Mutas into following me, but if they don't they'll ravage my insufficiently defended base". But you can't go deep in leagues (or even make them apparently) by flipping coins all the time. Why not just follow the Mutas home, hold your position (not like Skyhigh cut hard to get to that point anyway) and play out a game against a mediocre Zerg on a T > Z map? It's a decision that Flash would NEVER have made (except that time he actually did after the power outage, but I think those were special circumstances). Until Skyhigh figures this out he's going nowhere in any league, which is really sad, because he's really fun to watch when he's on. | ||

(It's not like he started playing against better Zergs, either--that 16-7 includes being 2-2 vs Jaedong, whereas the latter stat has stuff like 0-2 ggaemo.) Why is his 2-2 vs JD even impressive at all, did people even watch those games? The games he won were a proxy 8rax bunker rush in the main designed to snipe him, the 2nd was a 5pool defence. One of the JD wins included a nasty queen humiliation.

Actually Flash was the one who brought this back into the metagame, that aggressive push vs the Muta heavy Zerg who is cutting sunks, though it works for him most of the time, it failed vs Calm in the Heartbreak ridge set. | ||

I'm fully aware of what Flash brought back to the metagame. What I'm saying is that he never would have made that decision in this SPECIFIC situation, when the cons so greatly outweigh the pros and there's a large element of chance involved. I can't believe you'd interpret what I said as "Flash would never go forward to break Sunkens", are you serious? | ||
