Flash wheres your 70-80% win ratio now bo5 is in a totaly different league than pwning noobs in bo1 and bo3.

Retard alert.


Agreed. Seriously, for all you losers saying Effort cheesed his way to victory:

Game 3, Yes Effort went fast mutas, but the ling attack is what won him the game.
Game 4, Flash proxied (CHEESE), Effort responded.
Game 5, Flash 14 cc'd (CHEESE), Effort responded.

And ANY non-retarded person knows Terran has infinitely more cheese options than Zerg has.


this. Why if Terran cheese is good but if zerg cheese if bad? Flash have done proxy barrack and 14cc and monitor cheese.

Does it really matter how Effort won? A win is a win. They are not playing to learn or hone their skills. They are playing to win a tournament. At the end of the tournament Effort has the big trophy and the big check. Thats all that matters.

Aww.. poor Flash.
Now when Jaedong wins the MSL and STX prevail at Shinhan Bank.. it's gonna be sad.

I'm hoping for Flash to get his revenge in MSL but let's be honest, that's unlikely...

No justification. Flash just played retardedly three games in a row for whatever reason.

People need to stop raging at Effort, seriously. Game 3 was a fantastic mindgame by Effort. He won because Flash played with stupid, cheesy strategies in games 4 and 5, and Effort responded appropriately.

Yeah, he won through all-ins, but it's not like they were just blind 5pools. If anyone is honestly going to say going all-in with lings in response to a 14CC is "gay," then you are way too much of a Flash/Terran fanboy.

Anyone complaining that Effort got "lucky" in winning against a 14cc is ridiculous. There were no cheeses this series, except the BBS by Flash in Game 3 and he even canceled that.

Good scouting is not "Luck"
Hidden ling flank is not "Luck"
Beating 14cc is not "Luck"

Flash has weaknesses, Effort exploited them. If you want to watch two long games where Flash loses, check out CJ vs KT in Proleague.

I don't know effort is obviously the better player.
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

How are people praising these finals? Did I miss something?

Am I not emotionally invested enough that when a player I like wins a game in some stupid fashion I jump for joy and declare it great? These games sucked. Game 2 was the only decent one. I like Flash and Effort, but these games sucked. They just did.

I guess I'm more of a fan of BW than I am of the players?

how mush money effort won??


better question is... how much money did FLASH make (side bets)


rumours say, that after this debacle Flash will get kicked from KT. But an unknown Mr. Ma already offered Flash a new contract for an Airforce-Ace-like team. Also other topplayers get related to this new team.
But until now KESPA has not confirmed the new team, since they are checking, if they can guarantee all securitystandards, so that no player escapes during the games and everyone can return safely to their practice house.
Stay tuned!

If Flash defended that effort would have been so far behind it wouldn't have even mattered, that's what you call an "all-in".

Actually all-in is build where there is no followup, EffOrt had lair up so he could've gone either muta or lurkers, so it wasn't all-in

With what larva? He spent it all on lings.

So almost every terran push is an all-in?

I'm just trying to get the semantics right.

How does this post make any sense? Terrans push to force you to spend resources on things besides workers/tech, or if it's big enough, win. (read: timing push)

Lol, didn't you even watch all games?

i did, what are you disagreeing on.
game 4 were just proxy scouted (and failed later on)and game 5 BO disadvantage.

Especially game 2 where he lost all his marines without doing any damage(except for the three sunkens, but that's their purpose).

Anyway, gonna take a nap.

It's why you play the game people. It's not about who's the better player, if that were the case, we'd HAVE to give it to Flash; hell, there'd be no point in having televised games, just take the stats and add them up. It's about who is the better player on any given day, and today, it was Effort. Shout "CHEESE" at the top of your lungs as much as you want, I'm sure that will make the butthurt go away, but in the end Effort saw the holes in Flashes game, and went for it. GG.

With a smile, knowing that another great player just got away with some really clever stuff and won 3 fair games to take the title.
