I have finally watched the games and what a rape it was. Especially game 2. Free was on the verge of crying there after the firebats in his base. But it was damn hilarious seeing FB chasing drones.

Though I am super happy for Flash I feel a bit sorry for Free. He looked totally mentally broken. I mean, he seemed to be confident and I'm sure he practice a lot only to get rolled by Flash.

I LOVE how his games vs. Pure differed from his games vs. Free.

vs. Pure - Flash opened up 14CC to Pure's 12 Nexus and then took a third expansion really, really fast. This was the theme throughout their series. The games lasted around 20 minutes and Flash's micro/macro was victorious in the end. Pure had no chance.

vs. Free - Flash went with a forward rax in both the first games! Free was probably expecting a 14CC into quick expand and then a macro game where he maybe stood a bigger chance against Flash then Pure. But Flash just shut it down! Then with a 2-0 lead, both players start playing standard, Flash runs over Free in the third set. Free is a dangerous opponent, as was shown by the second half of their game on Match Point. Glad Flash pulled through.

Im sure Flash could have won against Pure faster in their games. Maybe he just wanted to make Free feel secure about the 12 nexus strategy and get some easy wins.



Also why would flash play to Free's strength in macro, he exploited his build asap, with pure he could afford a macro war where he was sure to prevail, against free that would be more risky. Either way Im a bit dissapointed free didnt take a game. Oh well.

Just rewatched Game 2, and I laughed so hard during the entire game. I mean, Flash made firebats in a TvP vs the #3 in the ELO ranks. XD
I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.

What's really sad is that free was #3 by Elo ranking going into this match, and it was that one-sided. Is there any reason we shouldn't be rolling out the B-word here?

Yes. #2 on the ELO list.

By the way, Flash has played 14 games against the dragons this year...and won EVERY FRIGGIN GAME. Sick, sick, sick.
