It's a little sad that first tank+BC push got stopped, other than that Flash played a sick sick game of SC.

I like your analysis! ;p | ||

The problem with Really going Wraiths is that while it may be tactically superior to Battlecruisers, you need something else to capitalize on those gains. Even when Really decimated Flash's BC @ 1, he lost too many Wraiths and Valkyries in the attempt. This meant that he could not go on the offensive, especially given his inferior ground force. While he held a nominal advantage in map control, he was very behind in his economy, and he couldn't break out into positive momentum. His tech switch might've put him on even ground had he been given time to accumulate his BC count and upgrades, but Flash knowingly detected the play and immediately moved in with his army. This forced Really's hand into engaging with his wraiths and valks when this time, Flash had goliaths backing his BCs. | ||

I think its obvious that his BC's would have been of a good help right there even without any yamatos. It was already too late, but still he could have made a better damage. Anyway he lost earlier, so whatever. | ||

A medium sized army does a lot better against a large army than a tiny army does against a large army. Those BCs, valks and wraith were useless in the upper right corner but they could've helped destroy a lot more of Flash's army. Really is good at TvT but he made a lot of questionable decisions and Flash made 1, losing those early BCs. Well deserved victory, this will probably be a 2-0 in the end. | ||
