LMAO. Earlier this season they used to use the same non-spoiling thumbnail for all the matches which was very nice for this reason. Strange that they changed it again. | ||

I saw he lost a lot of marines when he moved out the first ~3 times, but he didnt seem to be affected... Once terran is pinned to base in that position, it is very easy for zerg to effortlessly get a 3rd gas, sometimes a 4th expo, and can bring out an army of ultralisks before terran can make an effective mech switch. Pretty much the only two choices that terran has in that situation is double expand into a mech switch, or if going the SK terran aggressive route, dropship play. The latter is what flash did and has practiced alot on stream. A zerg that far ahead only needs to be vigilant with scourge play, which Shine did not have for some unknown reason before damage was done. It became so hard to deal with that SHine just doesn't have the mechanical ability to control multiple defilers at once, whilst looking out for erasers. There are very few zergs that could cope with that situation effectively, many of whom are not in peak condition. A similar recent game to this, is Soulkey vs flash on Andromeda in the semifinals, though only holding back flash from doing any damage, but the planis quite similar, in the event terran doesnt give zerg a hard time getting 3rd gas. Even if the mech swtich holds off the first few salvos of the zerg ultralisks, there is a lot of time for zerg to also build up queen fleet to land the final blow on terran's double expansions thus ending the game. | ||

Strange that they changed it again. I think that the automated thumbnail when the stream ended is manually changed afterwards and then it takes a while to update through the system. So if you check to soon the thumbnail can still be a spoiler, but it gets changed eventually. That is how it works on youtube anyway. | ||

I don't know if it's possible to make a safer third gas. I mean, what would that entail? These gas bases already have only 1 small ramp. The mineral line change I'd agree with.

I mean, the problem is that Flash is behind if the expansions stay up and if it's easy for the zerg to take them. But Flash is literally so good at taking down the gas bases with stuff like dropship play and aggression. I don't think you can really say he's behind in situations like that. Most of his wins against Zerg come from the midgame right before the Zerg's gas bases kick in, where Flash goes for the timing push. | ||

These are the 2 series that I came to think of as well, but I feel a bit unsure if they are as great if you have never really watched Broodwar before? For a new person maybe something like Flash vs. Soulkey would be better, more entertaining and easier to understand? | ||

The results of this final was less than surprising and this was the real reason to be sad about Shine beating Bisu. | ||
