All I'm going to say is these games feel like they were thrown all around, both the OSL and MSL (Flash letting Effort have the title and Jaedong letting Flash have the MSL title).

If you prep for 3 weeks and have NO builds that counter 14 CC (oh like I dunno 9 pool or JAEDONG SIGNATURE 2 hatch muta), then you either deserve to lose or you threw those games.
I was rooting for Flash, but Jaedong's builds could have been so much better if they were just a little bit aggressive. I swear it was like watching NR20, NR10 and NR10 games. I know they are probably honorable in not rushing each other but fuck, do what you have to do to win.



what the hell is wrong with you?

Mech seems to no longer be a threat to Jaedong.

Uhh, if you lay it out correctly, it would be:

A > B > C

So yes, A > C.


no. he is correct. just cuz one A beats player B and player B beats player C, player A doesnt automatically win against player C.

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.

yup. some people are missing the subtleties and discounting this victory as some kind of lucky cheese... -_-

14cc wall-in VS what can I do about it?


9 pool speed still kills it. 3 hatch before pool and actually defending your expo with lings and lurkers. Jaedong should've been fine in Game 2 but he literally just suicided his two lurks without ling support into Flash's push.

Actually 9pool speed doesn't kill it.
On far pos, 9pool speed can't even beat 14CC, and if flash scouts no 12hatch he will put down rax+suply before CC and lings will be much too late.

(Since he scouted, blind 14CC with wall can be beaten by 9pool speed if the pos isn't very far)
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.

M18M also beat Flash. Jaedong hasn't played against him -- so maybe M18M is better than Jaedong? Really?

TO ALL YOU IDIOTS COMPLAINING ABOUT 14CC.

14cc. is. not. cheese.

If it's such a magical defeat-all build, then look at these:

1.

Except for Flash- Zerg users really can't complain. It's hard to believe Flash is really the only one getting the results, even though he makes Terran look SO imbalanced.

2010 Korean Air OSL Winner: (Z)EffOrt
2009 NATE 2009 MSL Winner: (Z)Jaedong
2009 EVER 2009 OSL Winner: (T)Flash

2009 Bacchus OSL 2009 Winner: (Z)Jaedong
2009 Lost Saga MSL Winner: (Z)Luxury
2008 Batoo OSL Winner: (Z)Jaedong


2.
Game 2 & 3 were 14cc AFTER scout 12hatch. How the HECK is that "cheese"??? It's the proper and intelligent COUNTER to 12hatch. Everyone is whining their asses off about how Flash went 14cc all 3 games, but instead ask yourself this: Why the hell did JD go 12 hatch (and 3-hatch-before-pool in one game) ALL 3 GAMES?

3.
To all those IDIOTS who obviously don't know ANYTHING about terran out there...
Firstly, Flash's wall on Match Point was NOT ling-tight. So stop whining how ling-tight 14cc = autowin.
Secondly, 14cc is what Flash was famous for... because he always LOST. He took blind risks and paid for them. So what justifies your argument that 14cc = imba?!?! The fact that most terrans LOSE when they use it? Excellent point.

4.
How the hell is the most MACRO-centered build considered "cheese" nowadays??? Correct me if I am wrong, but I am under the distinct impression that both the 12 hatch and 12 nex are NOT considered cheese. How the hell, then, is the terran version considered cheese?!?!

The probability of Kim Carrier getting all those predictions wrong is similar to the probability Flash loses a TvT. Kim Carrier MUST BE a genius. His only big mistake... STORK.

It never got to a proper macro game though

I'd say 12 nex is definitely considered cheese, and 12cc.. maybe blind 14cc. 12hatch is more required for zerg a lot of the time because of the fact its your production building as well.

No, this is called transitivity in mathematics. It doesn't have to hold for every binary relation. So the guy was right.

Well yeah, but that's not 14cc. That's late 1rax cc. The scouting is definitely important.

He was desperate to save his 3rd. JD didn't want to go 2 base v 2 base with Flash. Sure, it would have been better to wait, either way though, that hat was going down.


No it wasn't. His lurks were there in time to push the MnM back. 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.


I thought Jaedong was going to take the lead too when I saw all his scourge but he lost the micro battle and Flash kept his valks alive which helped deal with the muta. When Flash arrived at his third JD's lurkers didn't get there in time to make a coordinated attack. Besides, he only had 2 lurkers. There was no timing window for him to throw down sunks at his third.

Anyways, time for bed, but congrats Flash. Boring series, but I definitely think it's a poetic revenge for GOMS1. 14CC didn't look too imba back then right guys?

They'll meet again. And damnit Flash! So close to double titles >.<. Next season!
