Flash lately has been pretty emotionless after wins.

Must feel so frustraiting for Pure to actually play well and still lose. He isnt playing well though, every single Dragon and Movie has better PvT than that, and they wouldve won game 2 75%. Yeah, the Dragons sure have been dominating this year!
They aren't dominating, but they wont lose 3 base Terran vs 6 base toss. And they can actually keep up with Flash in Macro, and one of them actually outmacros Flash(Best).

Movie won on the same map with a way less favoured position and completely crushed Flash in that game. Movie's macro is better than Pure's, hell even his Micro probably is.
And before anyone says "But Pure defeated Movie!" Since when does the better player always advance?
Who the fuck cares about Movie. Last time I checked, he got smashed out of the MSL by a Samsung Zerg and got kicked out of the OSL by Pure.

Fun little fact, Flash is 80% in 2010, Pure is 52%.
This means Flash won 4 games for every 1 loss (4:1), and pure is ~ 1:1.
Yeah, Flash is pretty much unstoppable vs anyone below a 2:1 ratio.
Flash's PvT Record: 20 wins - 2 losses (90.91%) from December 31 up until yesterday.
1 lose was to Movie, the other was to M18M
Soon to be 23-2 over the last 5 months, 7 days :p

replay shows pure made an engagement mistake and lost a ton of zealots by not engaging with his entire army at the same time

Flash is Ender. He killed him at all his bases simultaneously while he defended and cleaned up his 3rd. ...because Pure had no units, because Pure threw them away.
If you aren't impressed by Flash's play then you aren't a fan of bw in my opinon. You don't have to like him, hell you can even hate him, but to say that he isn't impressive is just flat out denial.
All starleaguers are extremely good players. Freaks of nature even. To describe that game as Pure "just throwing away units... so he had not units" completely undermines the beauty of Brood War and that game.
It was a sick game, with amazing play by both sides. Flash was just one step ahead in multitasking, so in every fight he was controlling a bit better. As a result his advantage grew with every engagement despite having fewer bases.

You can still argue that Movie's PvT is better than Pure's. But whatever, I don't see the need to keep emphasizing the point. It gets old.

For having 6 bases his macro is godawful. He should have had at least 20 gates across bases, while he had like...10-12 at most ?

Ender is actually a pretty good nickname for Flash. Or analogy, or what have you.

it was 9 fact vs 8 gate when Flash pushed lol

it's getting pretty pointless to use statistics to describe how dominant flash is right now
do you know what's an impressive statistic? any time flash loses a game

Analyzing Pure isn't off-topic.
I know Flash is the protagonist here in this OSL, but Pure does have a role. You know, as one of the minor evil henchmen that get obliterated along the way.
