By far, far, far and away the most important influence on the outcome of a game is how the players played the game. After all, Flash just lost two TvZ's on this map. BW is never going to change. Let's please talk about play in our LR threads, not balance. | ||

from a few glimpses of FP views, he doesn't even seem THAT fast.. the guy's just a machine, never makes an incorrect decision. i wonder if it's just sense or he calculates everything. what a monster | ||

And mapmackers are doing huge job to balance the matchup and they do not always succeed. Just check map statistics. There should be built in favor for T>Z>P>T when blizzard made the game (very slight, but its there). In lower tier non-pro games i think this trend is followed decently closely. | ||

His EAPM is what really matters though, and Flash knows how to make it count. With his wrist though he probably isn't moving quite in peak condition atm. | ||

What you said might be true for Python, but I'm too lazy to look up actual stats. | ||

I thought JD was favoured to take this as he was on a roll since the last proleague match, while Flash wasn't warmed up, had a debilitating injury and was on a cool streak by his standards. JD then proceeded to make 2-3 bad decisions losing him the game. It was a GG and didn't disappoint as a JvF match as we got to see Flash's starsense, decision making and micro, and also JD's lurker micro and his conviction (in his decisions, bad or not, JD is one of the players can make things work by the power of his will). Only bad decision making by JD and insane mass marine micro by Flash swung the game, and it was certainly an entertaining one.

I wonder if Killer has better chance of beating Flash than Jaedong at this point... no way. jaedong still has far away the best ZvT on earth. he made 1 pretty bad decision this game and lost, but if you look at overall ZvT stats, JD is still the only zerg that consistently beats A-class terrans. He is over 100 ELO points above the #2 ZvTer, Zero, who is just way too inconsistent vs terrans still :\. Even though JD loses random ZvTs once in a while (like vs BByong), i think it's pretty clear that his late-game skill is still unmatched by any other zerg. besides his lost to BByong, JD's only ZvT loses this season are to light/flash (oh yea and that game vs hiya in OSL -_-). | ||

Because he wants to try to beat flash straight up instead of only with all-in cheese? how is that bad?? JD is one of the best ZvT players ever, there's nothing wrong with not wanting to just cheese his games against flash. | ||
