IMO the future is not BW vs. SC2 but LoL vs. SC.... Bottom line: maybe sometime in the future (perhaps distant) SC2 could become like this. I believe. It's just crucial that LoL not strangle SC to death... | ||

Seriously I now hate all of you with my bones. You give little credit where it's due, to HoeJJa, Action and CrazyHydra, without which you wouldn't have stood a chance of even facing SKT in this series. All you do is complain about map imbalance, race imbalance, seed imbalance.. I'm glad the series ended up this way, with your underappreciated KT Zergs taking it to ACE and your god failing to the best multitasker/harasser that ever played this game in the most painfully cheesy way possible. Your tears are just icing in my cake. Congrats to SKT1 and KT for such a great series played. And congrats to SKT1 for getting the championship they deserved. 10/10, bro you got me | ||

Yah but its a team league with different kind of maps. if its OSl I totally agree on blaming on maps, but as a team if you dont have good options on certain maps then your team is not as strong as the other team in that aspect. If they can exploit it, you deserve to lose. Giving the privilege of picking maps wouldnt KT pick good maps for them ? As I said, if they think the map is total shit for terran that Flash cant even win then why did they send him in the first place. First, its their coach fault dont blame it on the map to lessen the other team victory. | ||

In the early game he had numerous chances to take a significant advantage, then just throws it by letting himself get flanked by Zealots. He might have been able to accumulate a large enough advantage at that point that he could just win with a timing push. Afterwards he makes only tanks and no vultures. I was thinking he would lose it the moment he overcommitted to the place behind bisus base, but Bisu tried to break it instead of counterattacking. However, flash kept doing that, with NO vultures and NO proper defenses at home, and so Bisu was going to win the second he decided to counterattack. Flash couldn't even go for a base race himself after seeing Bisu countering him because he was at a terrible position behind Bisu's base where he couldn't access the actually important parts of Bisus base fast enough to deal any kind of significant damage. Especially the part where he snipes core and then makes a total of 0 vultures against the only unit Bisu could possibly make was just unbelievable. Flash definitely wasn't in form again. I believe that sending out Hoejja would have given KT better chances of victory. These are good points. My thoughts: 1) Bisu's proxy gate at the beginning wasn't intended to kill Flash, but rather to throw him off of the stylized games which Flash has millions of repetitions at. In games that go the "normal" way, Flash has the best mechanics, and the best chance of winning. 2) For microing marines vs. zealots at the beginning of the game, you have to consider that Flash is rattled, probably dealing with nerves on the big stage. In addition, his infrastructure is not where he expects it to be, so microing while macroing is so much harder. 3) Flash did have significant defenses at home: a bunker and three siege tanks set up. This is a great defense against the typical Protoss composition. It's hard to anticipate a speed zealot counter going in that hard that fast, because it just doesn't happen very often in PvT. 4) I would definitely send out Flash over Hoejja, regardless of how well Hoejja was playing. The KT coach said in the end that Flash really wanted to take the challenge of the ACE match map, even though it's clearly P favored (SKT picked the map.) | ||

It's only appropriate that the founding fathers of BW legacies, SKT, also close the ending to this epic tale. KT fought well, but it was not meant to be. The finals this time really delivered, and I feel incredibly lucky to have witnessed them live. What an exciting, roller coaster ride of a series. Hopefully this won't be the final chapter to the grand story of BW, and may there be many more Proleague finals to come! Thanks to Hyde for making the LR thread again, all of our awesome streamers as usual, and to every BW fan for showing their love and support for this game. I always get delighted to see new fans showing their interest in these LR threads! Congratulations to SKT, Proleague champions of 2012!! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/eAXVo.jpg) | ||

He took his nat somewhat faster than Bisu, but he lost some scvs and had to bring some scvs with his force. His mining also got disrupted by zealots / manner pylons a decent amount of time. The economy was similar tbh. The situation where terran's starting his factory, when protoss has 2 gates up, on equal economy - that's not good. It naturally leads to protoss grabbing an easy 3rd base, while maintaining a good enough gate-2-factory ratio to stop any push. Or getting a reaver instead of a gateway/extra goons, which is certainly preferable with all the marines. The reason he could push up was that he managed to grab high ground before the engagement. That's about it. ...going out in the open and trying to shut down the proxy was pretty much overconfidence. If it worked good, he could grab his CC fast and put pressure on Bisu, possibly slowing down the nexus\gaining tech advantage. Instead he got an extra zealot coming out of gateway right in front of marines 2 times, and outmicroed in the open(often at the beginning of a fight in the open the damaged rines went down very quick). His micro back home was good, though. | ||
