God, that little push in the early game with +1 m&ms was soooo hot. How he reinforced, then split his army and abused high ground to make Jaedong think his entire army was still playing a m&m vs muta UMS with him.

So basically Flash can't beat Jaedong in a standard game and needs to go 14CC to win.

+99999999 without 14 cc all in no chance versus jaedong...


You do know a standard game is the 14 CC and not cheese and all ins ? you must be new to starcraft... Flash is one of the best players ever and he should get the respect he deserves.


14cc is kind of econ-cheesing.


Econ-cheesing is an oxymoron. There is no such thing.



yes there is.

3hatch before pool
14 cc
14 nex

those are econ cheeses. i'd say pretty much an economic build which has a hard counter insta-loss build would be an econ cheese.

User was warned for this post


that is stupid. 4 pool is also a hard counter to 12 hatch in zvz, so 12 hatch isecon cheese? 1 rax cc is econ cheese against 4 pool? jesus dude, seriously

Well... JD I wish you were more smart and flexible this time, bad games overall, or maybe it is Flash that is so good, but still, yes now I see , that he is way too strong for Jae to cope, dunno maps, 14cc, imba terran, this is all chit, I didn't like the way Jae played, it was sloppy and there was nothing he could do today, he was defeated, Oh I a really do want a change, I'm tired of terrans for the whole fu..ing year, but I do not see anybody who can challenge Flash at this level of his play


I guess when you say you're tired of Terran you mean you're tired of Flash. Because, with exception of this MSL, Terrans hasn't been doing well. The only Terran to reach semis in OSL for last 3 seasons is Flash. Same goes for the last 2 MSLs before this one.

i love how people saying 14 cc=cheese, you guys are so stupid that it gives me pain

what is it? standard?

if jd 9pooled in game 5 he would've instantly won.

flash didnt even scout AT ALL. he would've had to hold off lings with just SCV's.


That also bothered me a bit. Jaedongs pool finished way before the scout arrived in his main. If he had skipped one drone and built 2 lings a litte bit early, he could have blocked his ramp and Flash would have been in the dark for a bit longer (he would have needed to consider normal 3hatch or a lurker opening). Flash could easily guess the muta build and he built this really early ebay.

Flashs build in game 5 was flawless. Still, I think JD needs to do way more pool first builds.

You're not alone in that sentiment.


I don't know. I don't really want to blame the loss on maps, but it was a combination of maps, Flash's great read, and JD's somewhat subpar-seeming muta micro.

Either way I thought it was a great game, it was so exciting seeing if Flash would take out the third, and then when I and most others thought Flash would win with that 2 prong attack, JD takes out everything, but unfortunately loses to the next push.

If anyone has any example games of 12hat winning against 14cc (excluding aggressive zergling all-in followups like EffOrt did in the OSL final) I would be very interested to see some VODs. It really looks like it is virtually impossible because Terran ends up with such a strong early mid-game push off two bases that seems unstoppable for Zerg.

Wouldn"t you guys do everything to win such a major and big money Title.Both of them are top players and it was JD that messed up on his muta micro.


Fuuny things is that none of them was crying when aedong pulled out 3 hatch before pool in Nate... And I don't remember Flash fans screaming, omg, imba! Econ cheese...

Personally, if JD isn't shaken by his loss today and makes it to the OSL finals, I'm interested to see the outcome. Really, JD went in blind today, there was very little recent Flash TvZ for JD to watch and prepare. Now that JD has played Flash and experienced him a bit, I wonder if JD will be able to adjust. Hoping for a rematch cuz this series really had me on the edge of my seat.

I really think JD should stop 12 hatching against Flash for awhile XD really think that would help. And maaaybe call up Light and Sea, and ask to practice, cuz Bee and Sexy are not cutting it

Gratz Flash, i was rooting for you, but with the map pool i wasn't exactly surprised when you pulled out the win.

@14cc haters

Take note, in rounds 1 and 2, flash delayed his cc to scout JD's 12 hatch. Had JD gone for a more aggressive build flash likely wouldn't have 14cc'd. At the same time, since flash does this so often, the scout timing should have suggested to JD that flash was 14ccing.

In rounds 4 and 5, flash did a blind 14cc. This got the cc started faster, and denied JD information, but left him vulnerable to JD's 9 pool in round 4. In both games, it was a calculated risk, and it only had to pay off once for Flash to win.

Moral of the story - Don't hate on the 14cc, hate JD's inability to deal with it, specifically his refusal to shift to more aggressive play in rounds 1 and especially 2 when flash telegraphed him his build.


Game 4 wasn't blind 14cc. Game 5 was the only one.

Game 4 was the usual supply depot -> scout. Saw the pool, put up a rax, and then tried to wall off with a CC and supply. Didn't work great, but he held it off (though he lost lots of scvs). Then he floated his rax for some reason before putting down a bunker and it was gg.

How about the 3 game series in the WCG finals? Sure it wouldn't be prepared builds, but it'd give him an idea of what he was up against.

Yeah, I dont really understand why. In zvp zerg go 3 base vs 2 base, I dont get it why they go 3 hatch in base instad of immediately taking a third gas.
Maybe map makers will fix that in the future

Disagree entirely. Neither of them took it seriously. They both said they treated it like practice

Practice does not equal play in high level, high reward games.
