If I was the coach I wouldn't have sent out Hydra for Ace... especially after just losing. Obviously Flash was expected, so maybe Skyhigh or something..

As much as I hate Flash I'm still glad that he beat that dirtbag Hydra.

I'm not sure what's so unusual in that screenshot. Flash always spams like a madman in the pre-game chat

Skyhigh vs Perfective worst game i've seen for a while. That build Skyhigh used was terrible, at one point he had 3 vessels and no units at all. Any other Z would have finished him off, but he was just lucky his opponent sucked so hard.

Can any P players explain why Movie expanded after seeing 7 marines and a tank at Flash's natural? Against someone else i could maybe understand but it's Flash... best to stick on 1base surely to defend it easier.

Hydra's vT is a bit crap to be honest (not just saying this by this game either, it's not impressed me so far). Jaedong is still the Zerg king for now despite the last MSL. Since Leta didn't even play i expected him to come out with a specific snipe build in the ace match.

those vessels raped the sh*t out of those mutas though. And because perfective had such a crappy opening even while opening 3 hatch no spawn, he had the time to go fast vessels.

I think the biggest mistake movie made was when he kept walking back and forth on the ramp with his first zealot. He should have sent the zealot in as deep as possible to check the factory/gas timings. At the time, Flash only had 2 marines so it's hard to tell if it's a strong FD just by looking at marine count, but if he had seen the conspicuous 10 Rax 10 Gas timing he would have been able to confirm the opening and built another gateway earlier.

that flash vs movie game should be titled "How to STRONG FD, by Flash". So awesome.

Crazy-hydra vs Hydra was like Fantasy vs Reality in the sense that you already knew who was gonna win just by reading the names.

patience is a virtue

constantly asking for interviews right after games are played isn't

Kudos to the mod who put that banner up. Patience is a virtue indeed... *Side-eying some people hard in this thread*

lol.

like everybody else said that perfective vs skyhigh game was disgusting. sheer lack of scourge into mass vessels just irradiate whatever he had, which was nothing after that opening

Hmmmmmm, flash seemed to be slightly off his game in TvZ. Mistakes like leaving tanks out and wasting ur whole army to sunken/lurker bust was surprising o.O

game was mehh. but nice ninja scans though ^^

I don't like Hydra at all either, but "dirtbag", that's a bit strong, isn't it?

Flash roflstomped both Movie and Hydra so much it was not even funny to watch anymore. Seriously, it's like watching Draco at his prime play against my grandmother.

Like, when he TvP, it seems the whole game is a timing window, from the moment he splits scvs to the moment the map is all mined out.

Are you supposed to roll over a toss who goes for a standart safe opening with 2 tanks and some marines? I mean, seriously.

Poor old perfective has probably lost to Flash so many times in practice that he's given up trying anymore.

When watching the first sunken bust attempt vs Hydra I think I may have noticed something. Before Flash got there, three hydra morphed into lurks, but during the battle I only clearly saw 2. If what I saw was true then I think Hydra had a stacked lurker which may have lead Flash to believe it would be an easy break. The difference between 2 and 3 lurkers in that situation was pretty large.

It didn't end up mattering that much considering Terran typically ends up losing the first mnm group but could explain Flash's mistake in pushing that attack.
