Lurk openings > valk openings. There's a couple games where this happens, and in such a case the Zerg is advantageous. 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.

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.

Patch notes for BW 1.17.1

- Spawn Broodling cost reduced from 150mp to 125mp
- Reaver HP decreased from 100 to 75. 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

People, seriously, get over balance issues. No other player makes Terran look so damn imba other than Flash. Fantasy, Light, Sea, Baby, Mind are all great players but hardly make Terran look broken. I mean Bisu makes PvZ looks broken but other P's still struggle vs Z. Hell for a short period it looked like Z>T in PL and individual leagues. ALL other terrans got knocked out in the Ro4 except for Flash. I mean we had Hydra, Zero, JD, and Flash. If terran were so damn broken you'd expect to see more Terran. JD and Hydra both killed terrans in the Ro8 to reach the semis. Also the Terrans that failed to reach the Ro4 were eliminated by Zergs. It's only Flash that can break Terran because hes so damn good.

Indeed. It's a huge risk opening lurkers.

By the way, I remember Flash beating Kwanro when opening Valks vs Lurkers. XD

Zergs should stop using greedy builds against Flash and start doing some unortodox shit to surprize him like Effort did. 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.

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.

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

This is brilliant.

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.

Man I love BW. For the past 10 years, we've more or less agreed that the Queen is one of the most useless unit in BW. And how wrong we were. 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)
 
65%

Just patch Scouts, it is the last unused unit in BW. (24)

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.

Stop shitting up this thread. The incessant Terran whining is an insult to one of the greatest players to ever play this game.

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

EST is really a terrible time zone for watching individual league finals (they always tend to start early in the morning, whereas SPL sometimes starts at midnight). Well, according to the results, doesn't seem like I missed out on a whole lot. Congrats to Flash on his Golden Badge!

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.
