These are absolutely horrible BO5s. MVP yesterday and now Pure. Makes me want to shoot people who cheer when a good played drops out early. | ||

I'm trying to figure out where all of pure's money went to though, no lot speed, 1 shuttle of ht, no arbs, and an army of comparable size to Flash. Reaver tech, mass expand, stargates, carrier tech, air upgrades, etc etc. I think if he had went mass gateways and then fought off the push he'd be in a favourable position. | ||

Though to be fair Flash only brought a few SCVs, and he also killed a good number of probes. Make no mistake, Flash came out ahead in the early game exchange. Yes flash had a slower cc but as soon as it was completed it was filled with scvs. Even with 2 nexuses it took Pure a significant amount of time to replenish his probe count. This allowed Flash to exploit a timing window that allowed him to skip siege and get a fast third cc and STILL be safe. This wouldnt be possible with a normal fact cc opening. From there he just took all the "safe" bases available on the map (bases relatively close to his main), made a effecient number of scvs, and then macroed perfectly. It's not just a "timing" push. It's a push that uses all the variable and optimal timings available; from the early game, to the midgame, to the endgame...it's perfect macro. | ||

Flash pushed out after Pure lost 2 reavers and 1 shuttle (and 1 shuttle + 4 zealots dropping for some reason). (Technically the shuttle and 1 reaver survived on low hit points, but they were trapped in Flash's base.) And, surprise surprise, Pure didn't have enough units to defend after losing those units. | ||

He did nothing with it, barely even tried. What else actually happened early game that made you think he did well? Both of them just took bases and made units. First battle of the game Pure gets crushed and GG. | ||
