only thing that can stop flash right now is a zerg - either a midgame lurkling/mutaling bust or a lategame management win. protoss just doesnt quite have the oomph at the very highest level to reach the most insane performance

I think Best was quite happy with the direction the game took, he got to the point when he was in his comfort zone. Too bad Flash adapted to it by taking super early 4th while still being on 5 facts only and Best didnt readjust his strategy at all. That 4th had "punish me" written all over its face. Still it was scary, had Best make Flash lose his momentum even for a second and push him back it could've been a whole different story. Great positioning and some clutch emps from Flash tho
will the Legendary Protoss please stand up, please stand up

Yeah I now SKT zergs can take out Hoejja and Stats , but today they totally threw their game, they losed in a ugly ways. And I think SKT has more chance to beat KT in regular format than winner format, but sometime life is cruel, we must wait one more year to take down KT :<


Haha you say that, but one of the main reasons I'm really happy that KT won these back to back is that next year, I'm thinking it's gonna be KT and SKT battling just to get to the finals vs CJ. #2 seed without Effort, I can only imagine how good they're gonna be next year with him!


you think KT can get to the finals with flash going into surgery?


Flash's surgery is next month. There's going to be multiple months of layoffs and another year until the finals. So yes, I do.

It's next month? So he's skipping MSL? Because I doubt he can recover in time for that.


http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=253952

Says he's doing it after SPL and OSL, so presumably so.

Then someone will have to take his spot in the Ro32. Another wildcard match? Complicated.


but doesn't MSL start after the post season?

Flash's surgery is sometime after the OSL Final which will be held on 10th September. MSL Ro32 begins in October, after the off-season.

Edit:
Of course, if Flash gets knocked out before the OSL Final, his surgery will be earlier.

The manner Engineering Bay ruined the game for Best, so I don't agree with you at all. Typically when Protoss takes a ramped third base they will put an early Pylon there then the Observatory then 1 more Pylon to wall off the unprotected entrance. Since Best had to improvise when he saw the manner ebay at his protected third, Best couldn't get the wall at his new third base location (He had already started his Observatory in his base). Best ended up losing at least 7 Probes at his third base. Moreover, due to Best's improvised third base positioning...Best had to go up to 6 Gateways before starting his Arbiter tech. This is because if Flash went for a 4 Factory push, Best's unideal third base location would be susceptible to a push in a 4 Factory vs 4 Gateway game. Best would, however, hold off the push if he got his third at the protected mineral only location. By the time Best's Arbiters finally came out Flash already had a Science Vessel with EMP and another coming out. This left a Terran vs a Protoss with an equal army size and Best had only 4 HTs to make up for how behind he was. Best was not in an ideal situation, nor was he in the situation he wanted to be in.

Wow, thats a very high level and interesting analysis, wish I understood more broodwar. I do think the main reason he lost was not putting any pressure on Flash's 4th at all and not staying on 3 base for too long.

Does anyone know what build Flash used in his first game against Best?A really brutal push that was.

(I should copy that).

Apart from all the usual things (timings etc), the main reason Flash won was the EMPs. Best basically didn't get a stasis off until after he had lost his main.

It's a Flash specific build. The best I or anyone has given it is a "Super FD" build, though this one started off as a normal FD and transitioned into a contain.
