That wasn't anywhere close to cheese. Stork scouted it way early and it was a planned response to his early expand. It was Stork's failure to respond that allowed Flash to build a bunker right next to his completed nexus.

Flash let his shuttle-sniping wraiths carelessly fly over 2 roaming groups of goons and allowed for the shuttles to have free reign for longer than they should have. Once he safely got a wraith to the 2nd base of Stork, the win was sealed. Great hold by Stork, though, was impressed with how well he was dealing with the situation.

Flash was so far ahead after taking out Stork's nat twice that it didn't even matter what he threw away.

I'm pretty sure Flash has not lost a single game this season when he is the last player for his team. Ultimate clutch.

That was a really cool strategy employed by flash, great abuse of Benzene's long choke to contain Stork.

Likewise, great adaptation by stork with mass shuttle play. His shuttle micro was very impressive this game, and i'd love to see if shuttles used like that more often.

Overall, great game, if a little one sided. KT and Khan are my #1 and #2 teams to root for, so watching them play is always a little nerve wracking. Still, solid series, with several good games.

Painful to watch stork suffer such a beating after his hard fought game 6.

That mine which killed two of Stork's four early goons was huge. So was the clutch repair that left the second (or third ) containment tank at 5hp.

If Stork didn't step on the mine, he may have been able to do something about the contain.

totally unplayable, scv should be 40 life. When toss do 1 gate expand or 14nex they can lose straightaway to scvs, terran can't lose unless to unscouted 4 gate.

Yeah a few goliaths instead of wraiths and he wouldnt have lost so many units to stork dropping on him constantly. Wraiths are ok, but they get sniped too fast, and its not like he needed to chase shuttles here (where wraiths would be optimal), he just needed to protect his tanks.
