Free's PvZ is so good. ^__^ 2 Ps in the semis, yay! Too bad they don't play vs eachother (so we would've been guaranteed a P in the final).
I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.

It's been a long wait for all these 2 and 0's. Hopefully Leta can take at least 1 set off Flash - can't see it though.

Two Toss in the semis is win!

Wow. Just tuned in.

What is with the fancy venue for the quarters? That is unexpected...

It's because the OSL finals isn't in Korea so they are trying to hype this OSL up as much as possible for the Koreans while it is still IN korea.


OH yea! Forgot about that. That makes sense. Pretty cool anyway! It is a pretty stacked Ro8. That is for sure.

We have tons of protoss winning lately.

Just look at how KT raped SKT1 with protoss..

Honestly thought ZvP was easy - do a good simcity, get spores to prevent DT/Corsair harassment, get bases, mass units, kill protoss with hive tech.

Obviously not for Zero.

way way way too greedy. He never switched fully to unit production
and consequently not enough other stuff to defend his lurker field

And letting free stay on equal or even more bases for the entire game


Most of the problems were caused from before. The Corsair, Shuttle, and DT harass couldn't be stopped because Zero had nothing to prevent it from happening (early game hydralisks are not an answer to corsairs).

With that amount of lost mining time/economic damage/lost overlords, obviously you can't field an army to stop dozens of storms.

Sair/dt can still have its moments. 1 DT can still change the course of any game

It's more epic with Flash and Jaedong both guaranteed a powerful Protoss opponent in the semis.

Where by Flash and Jaedong I of course mean Leta and Jaedong. This OSL will be the story of their mancrush.

2 stargate sair dt is pretty outdated, but Protoss still masses sairs and builds DTs in most PvZs

this game Free went for a semi-risky fast DT drop (earlier shuttle than usual for non sair reaver builds), and it paid off.

Except both Flash and JD have ridiculous vP skills, so we'll end up with yet another final without a good Protoss.

why do people hate free? he is such a nice guy in person.


and he has one of the very best lategame army controls of all pro bw players. its just that flash would not even let him reach the lategame on even grounds. either eco cheese with his 14cc or timing push his ass. judging from the last impressions we got of the respective matchup, id rate flashs tvp as his strongest mu atm.


this is true. and the fantasy game was gosu man. i think fantasy will go down as someone who had it but just couldnt perform. too bad really, to think that strat per strat and apm per apm, he`s better than flash. and more intelligent. you have to break out somehow fantasy. boxer is counting on you

i disagree with this

also the dude has 2 osl silver medals so i never get why people lament his lack of medals


Hi Crunchums,
APM we cant argue because fantasy is better, in fact. strategy because overall, looking at his opus as a whole, fantasy is better at creating and improvising. flash just happens to have perfected (it seems in the meantime) the bio to hardcore mech build (with valks and wraiths every now and then).
but all considered, fantasy, one would think, could achieve more. he`s like the andy murray of SC


Strat per strat Apm per Apm? What the heck are you smoking. Flash doesn't have the highest APM, thats for sure but he sure as hell accomplishes more with his APM than anyone else. What's the point of having more APM if you cant do anything with it? APM for APM Flash is way better than Fantasy. As for strategy innovation all of Fantasy's builds are one trick ponies, Fantasy didn't invent mech vs Z. The bio to mech thing I'm not sure about, maybe that game vs JD on outsider was the first time there was a mech transition. That was a good build I guess. But compare it to how Flash has changed TvP and TvZ and again I would say Flash comes out on top. Look at it this way, Fantasy never initiated a time of terran domination, Flash has.


hi revy!
what about think about it this way: read the post first and make sure your bark is the right bark.
i mentioned APM only, purely, strightly as a FACT. however players use it or succeed with it is outside my point. go see the stats in the Flash vs Fantasy bigfile bo5.

I thought Free was in deep trouble when he lost so many corsairs to kill the last overlord, but I didn't notice his fourth came up right after Zero's.
