After that he must've been very tilted, would've easily had lurkers in time for that if not for it.

Well, that explains all known facts.

its a specific style to get double defiler mound to resrarch both consume and plague at the same time. its standard when you have extra gas to speed up your timings.

So many players play so sloppily against Flash, the games are just hard to watch.

Because Flash is so good at pressuring his opponent and forcing him to make errors as they try to respond to everything.

It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Im not sure if he even had a hydra den, his tech tree skipped something major right there.

Someone correct me if im wrong.

Reguardless though. Flash is lookin TOUGH with bio right now.

I'll just note that there's a good reason why lategame TvZ is almost always ling ultra defiler.

Hey, scourge/sunken/defiler was an original army composition at least.

he did not have a hydra den. with that specific strategy you make a billion sunkens at the front while you stall for mass upgrades with ultralisks. you saw the cavern there but SK style smashes this build order sicne you're able to get out so many firebats and deal with swarm and lings so effectvily. really well done by flash, his bio control looks amazing as ever and i think we'll see more SK style from flash rather than always going for the mech switch.

Yeah, I don't think Soulkey made a mistake with his buildings either. There were quite a few times that I saw a zerg doing double mound in Kespa era to get quick Defiler upgrades. Lurkers are bad against SV getting pumped by 2 starports

Hydra Den = 100/50. Instead of 2nd defiler mound + plague +ultra cavern, he could have had a hydra den, lurker upgrade and like 6 lurkers, with 4 bases and 4 gas. That's pretty much gg once he starts dropping.

Nah his plan was to skip lurkers entirely and go straight to ultra + lings + defilers

I have just realized the irony of flash beating SK with SK terran.

If Flash is gonna be using SK Terran more I hope he busts out Battlecruisers as well. He was wrecking Zerg players left and right with them right after he came back to BW.

Soulkey lost it against Flash's early marine pressure, he was really far behind after that. Just SC2 made me realize how much tension the lack of good ingame statistics creates in BW among viewers of mediocre skill level.

Yeah, that's because you have ultras. Lings + Defilers alone don't do SHIT against terran, other than harassing bases.

Soulkey is not good vs pressure builds, but if he get into the late game he is among the best. Flash knows this so he is playing aggressively.

6 lurkers against 6 science vessels. I guess i know who wins.
