Make goons - Yes 2. Harass - No 3. Carriers - doesn't matter if harass was denied completely. Whenever toss shuttle play fails to do enough damage to terran, it is already a gg, going carrriers can only speed it up. You won't have enough units to stop the push due to shuttle harass fail, you will not have them more cause of carriers. So it was pretty sealed. Jangbi stopped Flash's initial push and he took his third later than Flash; he should have had enough units to challenge Flash's third, especially if he could draw units to defend at other locations due to drops. But, if you lose 3 goons for no reason, then yeah, your failed shuttle play will be the end of you. I'm not saying he didn't need to do more with the shuttles, but if he could maneuver his ground army without losing units to mines, then you never know. | ||

Every single league, its so bloody boring. Yes, you are. It's only exciting if someone beats the best on their way to win a league. Who wouldn't want to see someone beating Flash or Jaedong in a Bo5 in the finals rather than them being eliminated in group stages in Bo1s like Bisu? | ||

I've been watching starcraft since 2004, I've spent the better part of the last 4 years watching endless tirades of flash and jaedong series and nothing else, especially the last year and a half, like half the finals are flash and jaedong? All but a handful have at least one of them in it. Why would I find it exciting to see the same dude who plays generally the same style pick up *another* title? Yes, you are.

Every single league, its so bloody boring. its funny cause some people think the opposite, if Flash, jaedong, stork(when he was actually good), and bisu were somehow eliminated all of them too early from OSL or MSL, people would start to say its the worst, league because none of them are in it. i am too bored of the same thing,but these players bring the best starcraft, and believe it or not they are in a way pushing sc to its maximum hoping it to become even more awesome. the thing is that flash is pushing it too hard for others to handle, and to keep the pace with him,players would have to be as perfectionist as he is in preparing as well in decision making. also its kind wrong to say you wont watch it because of it, we all know you will be anyway | ||

I don't know about you, but I'm just a fan of good starcraft. Your request is the same as foreigners who say they won't watch MLG if Koreans keep dominating. KILLER HWAITING! | ||

Yea man, I'm sure people got tired of watching Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretzky, Babe Ruth, etc. etc etc win all the time too. Hell, yankees fans don't go for the game right? They go for the...oh wait... You watch Flash because he's an incredible player and once you understand the nuances of his play, you realize how absolutely amazing he is. It is watching the stuff of legends unfold for your eyes. The other guy hit it best, it's about *good* starcraft, not about some storyline or some ridiculous crap. I believe you want to watch wrestling. | ||

He's lost to carriers against Shuttle. He's lost to carriers against Jangbi. He's lost to carriers against Tyson on this very map. He's lost to carriers against Kal. I'm just thinking of these games off the top of my head. Anyway, what strategy is good against Flash? | ||
