Remember, Bisu did this in the Winners League Final too (early aggression with zlots) and he beat Flash that time as well. Just saying! You can't give him time to recuperate. When you keep him busy, that's his mechanical side you are dealing with. But when the aggression cease, you are confronting with him on a strategical level. In terms of tactical decisions, Flash might be very well the best of the all of Bisu, Jaedong, Stork, and Fantasy. However, in the micromanagement category, he falls behind by a very slight margin. As long as you are able to keep him on the toes and take him in a straight up struggle while continuing to dent on his armor, eventually it will get punctured.
Exactly. I went back and watched some old OSL games where Flash steamrolled. Very little early aggression against him... The games he lost... there was some early aggression. Cannot wait to see how he reacts in the OSL.
I hope they can bring back BW for at least one more season.

No one can create a siege line as good as he can.
No one can use MnM against mutas as well as he can.
No one can use MnM against lurkers as well as he can.
The list goes on.
Flash's main problem is that he relies to heavily on scouting. Bisu denied flash scouting very well, and flash kept pushing out with insufficient Marine SCV forces.

man what a time for flash to lose twice TT

That's because there aren't any terran players with micro as good as him. It's commonly accepted that Jaedong and Bisu overtake him in terms of micro, granted it's a paper-thin difference however it's a difference nonetheless. Flash is not the best at everything

Pretty sick finals. KTZerg are insane. Game 7 was great. Hoejja using queens is awesome.
Nicely played series by SKT

If anyone is interested here is the full 5 hour VOD with nothing cut out so you can see the ending ceremony + montage + pre game stuff.
http://www.twitch.tv/ensignn7/b/314326683
first game starts about 49 minutes in. Ending montage at about 5 hours 3 minutes

Damn, I thought Bisu was fucked after Flash sieged the cliff. Can't believe that Flash lost it... Damn zealots are unstoppable without mines.
Sad sad day. First my date cancels on me again and then I find out that KT lost with Flash losing both of his game...
At least there are much more women in world right. Much more than Proleague finals... So you can redeem part of your sad day in the next ones.

I have to disagree with this. When you talk about micro there are different types. For example, vulture micro Fantasy probably the best, but MM I think Flash is better. Flash doesnt play zerg so who knows how good his muta control compared to JD, sair/dt micro (Bisu) or carriers/arbiter (Stork) or storms(jangbi). All of those micros are different so it is hard to say who is actually better. "It's commonly accepted that Jaedong and Bisu overtake him in terms of micro" this is just not true at all. I think you are the only one that accepts that. I do agree completely that you have to throw Flash off his game to increase your chance of winning and even in that case it is still really small. Ofc Flash is not the best at everything. His macro may not even as good as Best but then again they play different races so it is hard to say.

It's not micro that he gets overtaken in, Bisu's multi-task, when he's on point like today, is what he has over Flash. I'm not even a fan of Bisu but there are times when his multi-tasking is literally inhuman.

Totally agree with this. Bisu multitasking is famous with his super high APM. FPVOD of Bisu is crazily fast as he stops on each screen like only 1 second and still able to complete all the tasks he needs to do.

I mixed up APM and micro, though they do have areas that are similar. Jaedong and Bisu have higher apm is what I should have said

Wow...I can't believe Flash lost twice... Was really hoping KT would win.

Bisu's multi-tasking is definitely his greatest strength. If you talk about Bisu, I think the multi-tasking has to be on top of his greatest strength list. He was ALL over Flash, I don't think Flash was really expecting Bisu to be that aggressive.

True that, higher APM allows you to multitask better. Someone here already stated that the reason Bisu was able to win. Yah you are completely right about the APM/multitasking skill.

Fuck y Skt1, just caught up on the Vods. So many sick, sick games. Fantasy still most clutch player in the history of PL Grand Finals. Undefeated all-day every day baby. SKT1 Fighting Forever! Also Lulz at the LR from Ace Match

Game 7 was epic, thrilling and super intense from start to finish, but what I don't understand is why progamers insist on NOT walling off. Had Flash walled off his reverse ramp at the start of the game he wouldn't have had to deal with that early zealot aggression. I'm not sure if it's possible to wall of your natural, but it certainly would helped if had placed some structures there.
Well, a great final overall. BW is still damn strong.
EDIT: And I really hope Flash won't slump due to his losses today. =/
