Considering that we would have had a game if lurker aspect finished a few seconds earlier I think this statement is pretty accurate to be honest.

FlaSh still kills at least one egg to run into the base of JD. no way that a good ling surround can happen with marines in that position, and FlaSh's anti-muta micro was on point would have cleaned them up too. There's a reason +1 5rax is the best build against 3 hatch muta for this exact reason for the timing and the amount of marines you have out

Would I be wrong if I were to say that Jaedong's Mutalisks control was inadequate and failed to stall for enough time? Also, why did Jaedong tech to Hive so quickly (off just 2 gases)? Why not continue making Lurkers/Lings/Mutalisks? The Defiler barely did anything...


Would have been 3 base hive if he could keep an expo alive. That's pretty standard. 2 base lurker/ling/muta gets raped even easier than 2 base defiler. The game was over when Jaedong was unable to secure a 3rd.

Wouldn't teching a little slower allow him to macro more to delay Flash more?

Felt like JD just didn't have enough units on the map to slow Flash down.

if you delay hive then terran doesnt have any reason to move out and can wait for a much stronger army based on your own hive timing

the extra vessels/tanks you accumulate make such a huge difference

So looking at the comments this was an unorthodox cheese? lol


Its not a cheese by definition. It is a timing attack, where you need to do some damage in order to not be behind, but you can also kill someone as you could witness just minutes ago.


No, it's a cheese. Hydras are atrocious vs bio, so if you don't kill them immediately, you die.


They are not in small numbers as you could see. Yes it is a BO which depends on dealing damage, but it is not a do or die. Even if FlaSh hold that, he lost many SCVs and he cannot move out directly, because that many Hydras deal quite well against a small number of Marines.

Jaedong needs to get a lair+lurker upgrade, doesn't have even close to +1 carapace, is still on 2 gas with a limited amount of drones.

He is dead if he doesn't kill him.


He was morphing Lair and it was probably done by the time FlaSh gg'd. FlaSh could not move out immediately and by the time he would be there, I am sure JD would have had Lurkers at his third and at his natural. It is not Do or Die. Yes you are behind, if you do not kill him, but it is not immediately over. Especially not in JDs position (killed many SCVs and had a lot of hydras remaining).


Hydra bust ZvT is a complete all-in. It worked because Flash made a lot of big mistakes and there were 2 depots to be picked as they were part of the wall at the natural.
Enjoy the game

I know all that, Jaedong had a third hydra at his third though. Also consider that JD canceled his hydra den. That was a greedy/unlucky decision and got punished.

Pretty sad Flash went 5 barracks with 1 scv on gas last game. I expected at least this time more confidence from him.

Yeah, obviously Technics knows better than most of us, but to add to that: as soon as Terran stabilizes against a Hydra bust, it's 2 base vs 2 base. Plus Terran had 5 Rax so Terran will ZOOM past Zerg in economy. Zerg can make a 3rd but it will be hard to hold, especially on Benzene where you'd need 4 Lurkers for the two ramps, plus more Lurkers at your natural. Then you still need to get Scourge to defend Dropships (which is an automatic counter idea any Terran has vs. Lurker), except it's almost impossible to afford that when you weren't pumping Drones during your Hydra all-in.

Every lost unit in ZvT early game that isn't a Zergling is ridiculously expensive. Even Zergling losses are pretty expensive. This is because each lost Zerg unit early game is like losing that unit + one less Drone + all the mining that extra Drone could've done.

I remember this like it was yesterday. Still one of the best openings ever made. Has it really been 10 years? So nostalgic.

Honestly their casting was on spot and people talking like Flash rolled JD are trying to be silly.

Flash barely won, he even got crushed in game 1 and game 5 wasn't as one sided as it looked.

Overall this was epic and not one sided at all. There was sick play from both of them, but Flash was just a little bit more solid than JD.
