Actually no. Flash plays standard with the dropship for map movement and control. Which is the standard for many years in TvT. Fantasy come prepared with a new strategy that involved shutting down drops on main base, and using wraiths very well.
Imo the reason Fantasy is winning right now is because he comes with the "new" strategy and Flash can't/don't have time to adjust.
to be honest, i kind of expected this. flash looked very weak since the new pl format got announced and fantasy is a tvt beast, especially against flash.
Wow after Flash took out the 9 o'clock and proceeded to drop in the main, Fantasy 4k bank just disappeared instantly and come out of nowhere a giant force worth of 3k bank move toward Flash main. Damn Fantasy is scary \^o^/

drops are a great idea to get ahead... fantasy is defending like a fucking boss
Flash's micro and macro are far superior to Fantasy's. Even Flash's decision making is better, but he's making all the wrong decisions with his drop play.

nothing fantasy is doing is really new. He's consistently used dmatrix as well for a while now, though other terrans never really caught on.
if anything flash brought out new map specific strat this game, doing an elevator onto the ridge. Fantasy just shut it down.
game 1 flash went with lose 20 dropship build. I love fantasy but flash botched that game.
