Soulkey is watching/analyzing the game on his stream now
He has 5765 viewers right now! Usually SK dont have more than 50 like. I am so happy for him ^_^
I wonder if those 3 overlords that got irridated was empty or not. Anyone knows what he said about that?
The level of Soulkeys game today made me remember his lategame against terrans back in the day. I remember a game against Fantasy where he lost his main, but manage to come back with the sickest anti.mech play. Pretty reminicent of his style today, with the drops and all. For a time Mech was unbeatable back in 2010 because as a new strategy zergs struggled to find solutions, but Zero and Soulkey developed the strategies and tactics to fix it. Those were the days!

that switch to mech cost flash the game True. if it's FS and late mech switch, zerg won't win. 5 gas T mech vs 5 gas zerg is not the same as 5 gas + 2 mineral expo mech vs 5 gas + 2 mineral expo zergI've been repeating about this on my live stream channel, but they won't know. xD I hope they can realize this later in the future. Would you agree that Last's hybrid lategame style is more stable on CB than Flash's hard mech switch? What is his hybrid late game style? Basically instead of going full mech switch, do a mech switch but keep your 5 rax and still mass some bio. Great against zerglings.
ok just saw the game,flash actually took 5 bases with bio and some mine vultures,his mech transition was late,but there is a big problem with flash build,he made an early push with like 8 marines 2 medics,then 2 firebats,he allowed soulkey to scout his main,he made 4 firebats in total,his +1 attack was very very delayed,he made 5 rax with no upgrades,this is a big deal,late tech,no tank pressure,no drops,he killed some drones at the third,like 4 5 drones,that expansion wasnt working when the vultures run in.for some reason he couldnt save the vessels,as a terran player u want to have 6-7 vessels,otherwise u cant play without goliaths like he did.in theory FlaSh is the camp master and father of turrets,the lack of turrets let soulkey drop when he wanted.now the biggest problem i see.Flash was playing like a zerg player trying to take down expansions with minor forces and in some cases lossing 10 tanks for free,everytime soulkey decided to attack with lings there was not opisition,no enough mines,no vultures,soulkey played this game with a minimum of gaz invest in lurkers defilers,he was mostly playing mass drop lings and maybe 1 lurk in overlord,but mostly cleaning flashs army with lings,he was in 4 gazes+ 2 minerals only,he was ok with minerals.i can actually say soulkey was in a good position to the lategame,but then flash took 5 expos right away,this is pretty scary,but flash was very very very agresive,usually u force the zerg to trade all the bad possible,in this case flash was donating over and over.and yeah soulkey was pretty good with mutas,they were always in the right position doing the right thing.

The 3 ols were loaded.
And he said when he found 3 lings killed a scv buliding base at 5:30 with 2 attacks, he realized he forgot to upgrade "Adrenal Glands".

Total amount of balloons.

Honestly I think Flash biggest mistake was to underestimate Soulkey and his engages. Soulkey is so much more composed compared to the likes of Larva, hence Flash did things which may only work against Larva. I guess Flash should stop practicing with him.

Piano said, he told Soulkey to upgrade "Burrow" in order to attack Reavers in 2v2.

We can really say that Soulkey took his first BW championship. Those ling, ultra drops with swarm engagements almost gave me chills. That's how you play zerg.

Sick final, incredible run by this "underdogs" team. This is probably the best we could get and I say that as a Flash fan :p
|
The only thing that can kill God is a mech switch.
|
Awesome tournament and amazing finals! Soulkey looking stronger than Jaedong !
|
Tbh it should have been Last playing the Ace match. He is most likely the best player at the moment.

Flash went two rax earlier with failed pressure instead of gas fast +1. +1 rines kill muta timings so much better imo and is the true Flash build. Flash chose to be aggressive because of close spawn and failed.

Such an epic event all in all.
So happy for Soulkey he fucking deserves it. I hope his stream won't stay at 40 viewers from now on.

Looking back: FlaSh went 2 rax aggro into 5 rax. his +1 is going to be delayed which is why he had so much trouble in the early game. also when soulkey went for that early ling runby, flash's medic was in his mineral line, not out at the front, would have made a huge difference and would allow him to fend off the attack. also gdi flash fucking put a supply depot at the front to close your choke more.
also those mutas were the mvp of the game, i think they killed like 20 tanks by themselves, it was disgusting. just make some more goliaths or remake a couple of vessels. those valks did nothing
soulkey played a great game though. i feel like flash might want to try more old school with mnm vessel while slowly building up a huge tank force. mnm is just so good against lings and those swarms did a ton for soulkey.

I slept thinking welp 5 rax...
SoulKey won?!?!?

Good god Soulkey played a fucking fantastic game in the finals. His multitasking and drop micro was off the hook.
He's always had games like this in him but to see him perform like that against Flash in a finals game is just amazing.
