Also, I'm not sure why people think Midas had it. Even after that bunker went up, he wasn't in that great of a position considering he only had about 1 marine, and lings were easily able to sneak into the main and take out both his supply depots. I think building those depots in the main, instead of having building them at the natural for a wall-in, cost him the game. | ||

Flash's safety in playing gives him a lot of consistency though, although some players have actually been working that against him haha | ||

All Midas had to do was to prevent the run-by OR repair the bunker by lifting his CC the cheese was executed perfectly but sadly 60 HP SCVs required Terran player to make a mistake in order to lose. | ||

Hydra match was decent but nothing special. Hydra played well, Classic not so much; was pretty one-sided for the most part. | ||

Sometimes I question how Midas has such a good win rate when he plays like that. His SCV micro in the first engagement after the lings arrived was impressive. I doubt Midas has much practice in situations like that. Under duress, a small mistake is easy to make. Jaedong also played impeccably. His decision making and micro were pretty much faultless. Saying Midas played badly isn't wholly accurate, though there was a mistake probably derived from misplaced confidence. Saying Midas lost himself the game doesn't give enough credit to Jaedong, who played great. There's also the issue of entertainment value as opposed to perfect play. I like to see people playing perfect Starcraft as much as anyone, but I feel that a lot of fans let mistakes take away from their enjoyment of a game. I put more stock in a tight and exciting game than one played with no mistakes. That was a great game to watch. | ||
