This, they're Olympic level players (Pure/Free), so good that the ICCUP ranking system doesn't even apply, and they're doing really dumb shit.

This serie marks the end of the 12 nexus reign. Flash proves the world that with good micro, terran doesn't need to make any concession (normal 11 rax into 4 rines) to his normal build order to lolrape 12 nexus early game.

/12 nex, we won't regret you.

yeah I completely agree. They never manage to ignore that they are playing a freaking monster and it affects their play


Once upon time another player affected his opponents this way.

I'm not going to say "the word" but we all know who I'm talking about.

12nex isn't going anywhere. Pulling a ton of probes to defend 12nex when it gets bunkered on the other hand...

Just because they know how doesn't mean they can do it like Flash though.

Alot of people here seem to overlook the simple fact that Free needs some sort of early game advantage to have a chance vs Flash. If he plays standard, he loses. Free is gambling, because he has no other choice

I think Flash wins as many games from pure intimidation as he does from skill.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

You are a goddamn SL-Semifinalist, and all you can do is 12Nexus? What the fuck is wrong with all you protosses?

This is a disgrace. If the protoss race is on the shoulders of players like Free, everything is lost.


Maybe they found out there's no other way how to play even match with such a great terran Flash is?


I'm just wondering, do you really believe that? I remember so many clever protoss builds to throw terran off their game and players who abused these builds. Gassteal, proxy-gates, gay double-gate dt-rushes, one base reaver, etc.

Nobody is trying anymore, they just go 12Nexus and pray.

Well, Flash is building a proxy rax in the center of the map--keep that in mind. Without the forward rax free would probably be able to hold easily.

Also Flash is pulling 4 SCVs in addition to his scouting SCV. Pulling that many SCVs for that long probably costs him more than 400 minerals, which puts him behind even if he kills the Nexus. He's come out dramatically ahead in these games because free refused to sacrifice the nexus and lost a ton of probes defending it.

so Flash's last two bo5's involved his opponent going 12nex/14CC a lot. And Flash punished/abused them every single time for it. -_-

Free going to 12nex a third game?
