He should have assumed either a delay in the build, or a faster timed attack. While Flash can turtle like a Flash, it is unwise to assume he wouldn't go for a quick stab, it's a risk you can't take with that man
I don't think he even interpreted what he scouted correctly.
He didn't see the armory - the Ling didn't go down far enough past the CC.

You expected Flash to play in a finals with his "typical style"?
Honestly, I'm not sure what's Flash "typical" style. This guy has used so many different builds and style throughout his carrier, it's incredible.
Not really Flash's builds so far have been variants of his typical 4-scvs BO. Little tweaks here and there won him 2 OSLs and 2 MSLs in these recent years.
He saw the armoury, he started a hydralisk den possibly to do a fake hoping Flash would scan and prepare for a non-existent lurker threat (bunkers, tanks, no turrets, etc). Basically use Flash's game sense against him.
Flash though was about 5 minutes ahead of Zero and just stomped him on the spot.
