And no, clueless guy, Bogus was nowhere near even if he just went 2 fact. He double scv scouted, earlier raxed, and popped an extra marne... it's...a huge setback to play straight up from there to matching builds. | ||

Just to say that if they weren't cross positions there was a high chance Bogus kills the scv building Flash's barracks and from there it's pretty much GG. So if luck wasn't on Flash side it was BO win for Bogus | ||

Plus when Flash scouted it, he should've cancelled the Starport and just made straight vultures from the factory instead of going into tanks. Flash produced 2 marines just in time and moved them to the proxy starport just in time to kill the SCV. If he didn't have this starsense bogus would have been able to complete the structure. It was much more impressive starsense than it was a blunder. Making a proxy isn't a blunder if someone scouts it due to starsense. Bogus decision after his starport was not perfect though I admit, he should probably have cancelled it right away. However Flash's awesome move put Bogus in serious trouble, it wasn't that he proxied that put in him that trouble. On January 24 2011 09:03 crazeh wrote: Bogus' strategy was pathetic. He GIFTED the game to flash. I'm pretty sure it worked in practice. Why can't you give Flash some credit for his sniping of the SCV, that was obviously a good move. Otherwise you can say that proxy is always bad, pathetic and results in handing a win to your opponent which simply isn't true. | ||

Otherwise you can say that proxy is always bad, pathetic and results in handing a win to your opponent which simply isn't true. Yep, it's easy to dismiss all the amazing moves pulled by Flash. It reminds me of this gem a little: TheMarine, after being so amazed by Mind's brilliant strategy, asked Mind's Coach. "What was the winning pertage with this FE counter build?" Mind's coach said gravely looking into TheMarine. "100% winning percentage. During the practice, Mind never lost. At least if the opponent was playing against this Build order for the first time...10 out of 10, they all lost to it." But THAT move was the game stopper. + Show Spoiler + On October 16 2008 03:48 FConnectionUK wrote: You're right. Also let's not forget Mind's strategy did not stop there. There was one more part to the whole grandios which was the tank drop right after the cloaked wraiths + the bunker. But let's go over Mind's insane strategy from the start: The whole plan starts as soon as Flash scouts Mind's base. Mind's ramp has one vulture. The first mind game starts right here. By showing only one vulture as Flash's late scout goes up the ramp, this implies this: Mind has add-on attached to his first factory. Thus, Flash can safely assume no vulture raid in the beginning. Edit: (If he showed a second vulture. Flash would've built a bunker in the front which would give away everything. Mind's really saying here "Don't build a bunker" and worked) The next part is the subtitled part. The unexpected vulture raid happens from the very start. The vultures plant the mines and take the damage. At this time, Flash can only assume that Mind is going for the natural exp. Which then again is only part of Mind's plan. Mind wants all Flash's defense at the exp. And this is the part where we can SAFELY assume this whole picture was in Mind's plan. This build has been carefully planned to the very second. VOD does not show it, however in the replay, by stop producing the SCV's, Mind PERFECTED the timing of mine research upgrade. Upgrade was finished by the time the dropship was loading up the vultures. Then what next? Exactly what meathook said. He plans mines everywhere so Flash is forced to use scans. And here comes the cloaked wraiths. Genius. But it does not end here. Using the map where having the upper ledge means everything Mind tries to get tanks on the ledge. Only if he built a bunker fast enough... now THIS strategy like I mentioned before. If facing it for the very first time, 10 out of 10 times, you'd lose. Flash is just an exception. p.s Like i said, I was too lazy to translate the whole analysis I bet half the people here would say "Stupid strategy by Mind, Flash got handled the win" lol. | ||

Not only Flash, I'm pretty sure I miss a lot of what even "average" player are thinking. Just watched the whole game by the way, very nice TvT. Mind's harass is insane, and Flash defense is very good. | ||
