Haha, poor Hogil. He's a big bopper, but I have to give it to him, he's actually been playing really well recently.

Don't go ruining Calm's confidence for my FPL's sake Hogil!

I literally did a quadruple take looking at the results, and had a Metal Gear Solid moment:

Flash? Flash?! FLASH!!!!!

Here's to hoping that the rest of my LiquiBet does good...

I am afraid that Kal just woke the sleeping lion. Flash is gonna get so motivated this season... 4 OSL incoming!

sleeping? ))) I think Flash works even harder to be in such form, these victories that look so easy for us, cost a lot more hard work than we may imagine

They're both better recently. This group could be pretty nailbitingly close.

Yeah, but why didn't he bring back his forces to defend against the carriers? They were doing nothing patrolling the center for a long time.

Seems like once the Carriers get in you have very little chance of ever killing them. Flash never achieved the critical mass and upgrades necessary to kill interceptors quickly. Maybe he was just hoping Kal would roll back and he'd catch some Carriers?

I believe Hogil's mother describes him as "big boned".

Oh man, rooting for Hogil. Remember that time he gave us the ONLY ZvZ draw in pro SC ever? Yeah...

Flash really shouldn't have gone for that first trade when it was 3 base vs 3 base. Had he just macroed up for a few production rounds he would have had it. Even so, he so rarely makes mistakes that I'm happy to have it happen in the group stages and not later.

No. It's a round robin group of 4. Top 2 advance.

The second I forgot that I thought pigs could fly. Flash not in a final - lol!

Base trading almost never works out for Terran in TvP though. It's so much easier for Protoss to just keep making units and eventually break any contain. It was a tough situation no matter what ... not often that you see Flash successfully pull off a hidden expo (he had it basically the entire game) and still lose.
