Expect a weird build from Flash since he is 2-0 up. He always experiments when he feels sure
Flash returns...

It seems strange that with a bunker coming up, a massive scv/marine force count at his front, a scouted forward rax, and his nexus in fact incomplete, Free still refuses to cancel, seeing as his 12 nex should probably have paid for itself by that point.
There is but one truth.

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.


you forgot that he went forward rax

You don't lose anything by doing forward rax. Anybody can forward rax and if that's not 12 nex, you just continue your build, business as usual.


actually you do, 2 gate would rape forward rax, and even if the protoss goes one gate, you lose the rax which is an important part of your wall.

2 gates non proxied, and I guess Flash would just build fact at his wall? His scouting scv makes it really early to his opponent's base.


Using a factory as a wall? lol and lose all your units that are going to spawn? :p

You know what Free would have done if he was good? Build forge instead of gateway. His tech would've been late, but the nexus and probes - safe.

Fucking infuriating... After qualifying for the semi-finals, Free said in the interview: "I will show you Protoss' strength." And then all he comes up with is consecutive 12-nex...

He meant "I'll show you that 12 Nex is actually safe, propelling are race forever ahead of terran!" Well, he might have been wrong.
BW fighting!

His face and his determined expression just said otherwise.

The Starcraft gods have spoken and given a huge advantage to free: crossmap positions on fighting spirit.

12 nex is not much different from 12 hatch these days.


What? 12nex is NOT standard PvT.


it's used >50% of the time at least on a lot of maps by progamers; what's your definition of standard?

Wtf? are we talking about Protoss vs Flash or Protoss vs Terran? It is certainly not used >50% in PvTs


hmm, I feel like there definitely have been periods of time on FS and Match Point where P 12 nexed that frequently. It's probably exaggerated in my mind though.

What is with all the complaining? Everyone wanted a Flash vs Jaedong finals anyway. So Flash winning shouldn't really be all that upsetting. Yeah we don't get entertaining games but who was really giving Free a chance anyway? Even if they both played standard I'm pretty sure Flash would still just roll him and it wouldn't be a good game anyway.

Interesting decision for Free. Not 12-nex this game could play right into Flash his hands if he expects free not to do 12-next. Oh, good old metagame

I'm not surprised most viewers only think at the lowest level.

"OMG he went rock last time!? I better go paper to counter that!"
No I'm never serious.
