... What the..
Aren't a B player supposed to know that split map and contain in your own half = you're dead when your main mines out?b
Contain? He had nydus network plus multiple routes through the middle. He'd cleared the minefields and had drop. Flash had no antiair to speak of and Action had like 12 hatch and 4 gas mining. With a swarm lurker defence to hold the line at 6 and counterattacks with drops at 3 and 9 while running lings to 12 and 11 he could have overwhelmed Flash in seconds. He spent the midgame doing exactly that to great effect and then suddenly was like "forget swarm lurker defence, must attack into tank line".

Really heavily. I guess zerg had its stats on the older version.
13-2 TvZ I read... I think it's bad, but TvZ overall is a real probelm for zerg atm.
All I got from this game is that map control is a real problem for action. He was so ahead in this game but he didn't have map control. He would definitely win if he could get map control when he was economically ahead.

Unless I got the names mixed up, Flash was about 50 supply ahead for the majority of the game, I don't really see in what way Action was ever ahead. :/

Yes, he's been hired by OGN to cover the new PL season

That's the whole TvZ problem atm. Flash's strat atm is completely unsolved, he basically doesn't care if zerg gets defiler and 4th (which used to be the tipping point in ZvT before), he always has map control. A good example of what I think he wishes to achieve was his game vs Effort, or some of his games on CB last season.
