Jesus I hope so. That was the most biased game "review" I've read in awhile. If it flash's build "bordered on cheesy" why did Flash use the same build against Jaedong and win game 2? I don't even know how you can believe what you're writing. Effort cheesed his way to victory, jaedong should have changed his play | ||

Look if he had 3 tanks and like 6 goliaths, a 18 Hydra flank would destroy that. He only had 2 factories, it takes time. Also, are mutas really the most popular vs mech? You mean pure muta, or muta transition? Since hydra openings are extremely common, I'd say even more common than mutas, and by falling down to contain he had a much better chance to win. I'd say that it is a lot more common to open with economic hydras and later perform a muta switch. Proof about mutas being more "usual" please. I know tanks had a 1-0 upgrade, but that in fact affects Hydras in no way. 2 hits, 2 hits. But yeah the +1 was really useful because of the amount of goliaths to clean the Hydras up in less hits, but that still would have been the better thing to do O_o In game 1 his build just had 0% chance of working so I'm not sure what he even was thinking, and in game 2 he played really bad. Game 1 was the worst one by far, it's the same insta-lose build he did vs Fantasy on Outsider, and the same thing happened today: insta-lose. the game was over when he failed to kill the bunker first time around, you dont come back after failing to bust nat vs 14 cc, specially when you don't do any damage at all and even more so against flash he knew that only shot has has is ending the game in second weave and he was well aware that the chance of success is like 5% tops | ||

As a jaedong fan this was painful to watch, game 1 was ok, i think game 2 was totally in flash favor since he went valkirie and MnM vs only muta but was super risky, if jaedong had opened lurkers it would have been the oposite. Game 3 was a fail, i dont know if it were the maps or what but jaedong underperformed compared to the last final. Hope he gets his infuriate feelings and make a super come back in the next one if it ever exists. GG flash | ||

Result: A large number of terrans follow this build this season and we have a lot of them qualifying. (They don't get to the finals because you need +skill also). Games until now show that Flash's build can be beaten only by exception by protoss and zerg. In other words 90% of the time if you fail to harass against terran you lose because of their ability to be stronger on same bases. If the maps continue to provide a safe 2nd terran expansion at the very start (going fast pool or double proxy barracks being the only counter and that also risky) then we are talking about a new terran era. Between same skill zerg, terran, protoss and with the same luck terran will prevail. Effort played much more skillfully than Flash in the finals only to get a close 3-2. If the skill was race reversed we should see an easy 3-0. Losing in the first assault terrans can bunker down and get a 2nd or even 3rd chance in the game. The other 2 races are so fragile that losing in the first assault results to instant loss. I won't expand to specific details about races but really i would like to see some 2 clear entrance bases or large openings on natural expansion for well being of human race I hope you don't reproduce | ||

... ... Ouch! LoL Flash 14 CCed in all three games and Jaedong didn't punish him for it once. Flash actually went valks in the second game and won... with valks, people. Jaedong completely threw in the towel when he went up against that wall with 3/4 tanks behind it. Those last two attacks were pitiful. This was almost as bad of a rape as the Arena MSL finals. Well done, Flash. Well done. But seriously, have you noticed the things that always get him killed by zergs (valk builds, 14 cc, one-of-everything build, mech) all freaking worked? Jaedong wasn't all that aggressive and it played perfectly into Flash's hands, somehow that guy knew he was safe each game. Amazing. Flash looked so happy. | ||

I rate them bad because Flash couldn't show all his potential after the mess. And neither did JD. I didn't say "They were amazing" just because JD won, even if I'm a JD fan. | ||

I really hope so... Jaedong did not try to outpower Flash. If you really believe this... then you are also claiming every single zerg user who starts with muta build is trying to outpower terran, and therefore, "playing uncharacteristically poorly". Jaedong tried to counter Flash's build by harrassing and by doing so, keep Flash in his base. Because Flash was going for Valk, thus lack of turrets, for a player with godly control, it was not a bad move at the given situation. By keeping Flash in his base, or at least delaying his attack. Jaedong could run his 2nd expansion and make transition into different tech alot more smooth than changing his whole army only after realizing Flash is going valk. Also Jaedong still could've won in that game if the scourges killed the valks right away instead of circling once then attacking, making mutas take more damage than it should have. With that small mistake (can't really call it a mistake, but for the lack of term), the battle became a horrible fight. Also Effort is getting all the credit he deserves, which shouldn't be as much as what Flash deserve for winning this MSL. Flash had to prepare for both leagues and while one of them is against his rival and arguably the best player in the world along with Flash. Also many are speculating that Flash held back playing against Effort to save some of his plan against his rival, Jaedong. But that's only speculations. But from the tone of your writing, I can tell that you're neither Jaedong or Effort fan, you seem more like Flash-hater fan. Your view can not be more corrupted or twisted. | ||

In other hand, this season protoss are in big trouble. Last year i thouth that was sligth T<P, now i think its rather T>>>P and Z>>>>>>>>>>P. It's said by the guy who LOVES terran and "gay" builds. I hope it's just a short trend and Protoss will recover soon. | ||
