Despite his attempts to confront his flaws, the flowchart is still surprisingly apt. | ||

They are really poor and can't even afford food. Coach finds one guy who manages to really good, wins a whole bunch of leagues, gets sponsored by huge company CJ, and they grow this really nice group of young players. But despite all that they've been through, that guy betrays the whole team and cheats. This crushes the entire team (and their best player, that guy's heir, slumps hard) only to have the kid rise from the slump and face near-impossible odds in the finals of the biggest tournament against the best player, be down 0-2, then come back to win?? You can't make this up. Rofl @ the hyperbole... | ||

1) Good game sense in sending the OL to the right place and not letting flash see his OL. Don't know why he cancelled the second rax though. 2) Keeps scouting drone alive until lings gets there. Sacrifices 6 lings for 2 marines. During this exchange, the scouting drone waltzes out of the base to get back home after seeing the gas+factory. 3) Sneaks in ONE ling, sees the starport and correctly guesses the dropship is coming. (probably is just me sucking though, cuz I thought it was going to be wraiths lol) 4) Blocks vulture drop pretty well. I think someone said he lost 4 drones. 5) Tries to break up the ramp, sees the bio switch and immediately goes back to his main sensing the 2 dropships coming. I don't think he had seen an extra dropship. Puts the OL in good position to see where the drop is coming from. Had Effort failed to block this drop well, it could have won Flash the game and the golden mouse. 6) Awesome trap/block using the zerglings, leading to all of Flash's marines being skewered in one or two volleys. 7) and enough macro so that he could decimate Flash's forces during and after that encounter. I was most impressed by that scouting drone though, as I had wondered why Effort pushed up the ramp and sacrificed his lings for a couple rines, but during the replay I saw the drone just was nonchalantly walking out. | ||

Some poor play by Flash, but mostly due to being caught off-guard by Effort, who was clearly prepared for the style Flash chose to play. Reminds me of Barcelona v Inter Milan in the first leg, where a shocking ref decision and an epic failure of defence by Alves lost them the game and the series. Yeah Flash had a good series planned out , but i think it would be wiser next time when a player is up 2 just to play a safe standart game with no unnecessary risk . Mind games are good and all , but every once in a while it backfires like this . | ||

Flash is the ultimate player that only needs a few more titles so that even the stubborn people don't have any arguments left for not bowing to the God of starcraft. Then he gets gayed (not only by effort, but by himself too). Kids, don't listen to HotBid, he's evil. | ||

Ah, so now I know. But if I recall correctly, his scouting ling was only able to see an in progress starport, so no information on the control tower, although he had information on the bio tech and singular starport. | ||

Losing this means, no golden mouse = extra motivation to do even better and mature more. His series against Jaedong will show how his confidence level is right now. Anyway, Flash fighting! | ||

Well, problem is there is not much time left in BroodWar to shine. | ||
