Does this early valk/irradiate build makes muta harass totaly useless ? I'm really a noob, and never play against something else than computers, so I just can't think about it by myself^^ If so, i think it's really huge for terrans to avoid spending a ton af minerals in turrets, losing SCVs and marines. | ||

You're absolutely right.. I completely forgot about that. Regardless the scout was in to see the 12 hatch before the CC went down. Flash was being careful. | ||

It might get scouted, but it has a better chance of winning than just throwing your hydras at Flash's door. Clearly Flash had that well defended. I guess Jaedong just choked. In anycase, can't say that Flash didn't play perfectly, so congrats to him on winning. | ||

Valks are obviously going to be a coin toss against lurker builds, and the fact that Jaedong was in the dark about the Starport until 2 valks were out doesn't help. If he had scouted the Starport, he most certainly wouldn't have just gotten pure mutas as his first spire units. | ||

It was his fault for losing too many lings before but the suicide was just a desperation move and the game was already over when he didn't kill more Marines in the exchange (somehow). | ||

Jaedong played greedy, pumped too many drones and made no lings or sunkens to support his remainder lurkers. He expected to decimate Flash with his mutas -- even with valk support -- and failed to. Jaedong made uncharacteristic mistakes from a position that even Day9 himself said he was poised to take the lead. | ||

You cannot compare the series, saying effort would have won if flash did this to him. The strategies were completely different and masslings wouldn't have worked for Jaedong/Effort in this finals. The reason why flash 14CC'd so many time was because he's able to hold it on these maps, and on matchpoint he blocked of better than vs effort and scouted earlier and went vulture. | ||

In game 1, Jaedong didn't seem to read Flash's strategy very well (full credit to Flash here for a pretty ingenious build). He really should've invested in at least a few lurkers. Given the situation, I thought he did pretty well to hold out for as long as he did, but he never should've gotten into that position in the first place. In game 2 especially, if JD's micro was a little better and if Flash happened to mismicro a little bit, we could've seen a much different outcome with Jaedong crushing that push and gaining a huge advantage. Game 3 was just pathetic. His choice to go for a hydra bust wasn't a bad one, but trying to allin when Flash already had several tanks+bunkers was just plain retarded. Even Kwanro would know better. It's not even like he was in a position where allining was his only hope. Flash had to pull a ton of scvs to defend/repair, Jaedong could've just used this opportunity to get his economy on par and take it into the late game. Instead, he suicided a whole bunch of hydras to kill a bunker that Flash no longer needed, leaving him with almost no units to defend against Flash's push. Congrats to Flash. Flash has always been an amazing player, but his builds and strategies were mostly standard and predictable, relying mostly on superior mechanics and perfect timing pushes. But in today's match, he elevated his play to a whole new level. He combined his perfect mechanics with really creative builds and strategies. I wonder if this was just a onetime thing for the big occasion, or whether we'll see Flash trying more of these unorthodox builds on a regular basis. PS. I officially hate Effort. PPS. I'm going to 9pool in every single ZvT for the next few months since I bet nearly all Terran players are going to start 14ccing. EDIT: People should stop blaming the losses on map imbalances. I don't think they had a huge influence on the outcome. However, I will agree that 14CC is pretty fucking cheesy and lame. | ||
