Flash has good scouting, incredible game sense, and the knowledge and understanding to take advantage of the trends in the game, so most of the time it's going to be Flash taking advantage of you, and not the other way around in ZvT. | ||

Shield increased from 100 to 110 - Scouts speed increased, speed update removed. Cloak added - Hydra defense increased from +1 to +2 - Firebat damage increased by 5. Ground-to-air attack added Can't believe how the SC2 people put up with this. As soon as you get the balance down somewhat, the next patch mucks it all up. Not to mention the changes that will come from HoS. I'd rather have the current balanced BW than endless patches. Patch notes for BW 1.18.2 - Flash APM reduced by 100 - Flash unit reaction time reduced by 20 msec - Flash turret defence reduced by -2 - Flash unit creation time reduced by 2 seconds That should balance things out. :p | ||

The problem is more about the fact that most of the time the Zerg is not going to be able to know if the Terran is opening valks, and even if the Zerg does know, will they be able to get lurkers out without Flash knowing that they're opening lurks instead of mutas. Indeed. It's a huge risk opening lurkers. By the way, I remember Flash beating Kwanro when opening Valks vs Lurkers. XD | ||

This final was just one huge stomp from Flash. He had studied Zero playing style and just dismantled him with good builds. Zero didnt stand a chance because he didnt even adapt and just played his own style which was countered in all 3 games. | ||

I second this. If you don't believe this, watch FLash vs Calm on benzene. Valks dont do shit against lurkers. What are they going to do, overlord hunt? They get scourged. | ||

You cant beat Flash with greedy macro builds period. I wish there is a zerg who will grow some balls do throw some 4pool, 9pool, 2 hatch lurk play and similar stuff against Flash.... yes you might be still in a disadvantage but its still better than 3 hatch before pool no sunk style and just get owned by sick timings from FLash.

JD did one weird ling burrow thingy and two 4 pools in a single Bo5 and still got smashed. | ||

On a related note, although Flash's level of dominance is unprecedented, some people seem to be exaggerating/overreacting a bit. Remember last season when Flash dropped out of the group stages of both leagues? TBLS aren't making the game "boring"; there has always been ample opportunity for other players to step up and take titles. Any non-mirror finals with one of the fab four is way better than, I don't know, let's say a ZvZ. | ||

Look forward to the day where someone finds a use for Scouts. Now that BLizz is buddy with Kespa and Kespa is moving BW into international spot light, maybe we can finally ask the question: Poll: Would you like to see BW getting patched again? No, just let the Pros and Map makers do their best. (62) Just patch Scouts, it is the last unused unit in BW. (24) Yes, the game still needs some balancing (10) 96 total votes Your vote: Would you like to see BW getting patched again? (Vote): Yes, the game still needs some balancing You don't fix that which is not broken. | ||

Also balance whining over this series? LOL? If you thought Zero had the talent to even win a game you're delusional. | ||

THe "burrow" game was lost because consume research was gotten about a second too late. The first 4 pool was a game flash threw away. The second 4pool didn't work because flash scouted him. in reality, there is only a 1/3 chance that a player will scout a 4 pool on a 4 player map. The final game was a 5 rax vs 12 hatch so BO win. | ||
