Watching some of Flash's streams before finals I felt like there is no chance any Zerg can win bo5 with him right now...

Late years, in KeSPA times it was always formula like:

A Tosses <= A Zergs <<<< Flash >= ( S Tosses / Fantasy) >= JD / Effort > A Zergs >= A Tosses

During Fanta 's form picks it would even be Flash =< Fanta, but unfortunately he's in the army now...


You must've missed Flash's games vs Effort then :p. Effort beat him 3-2. Could've even been a 3-1 had Effort not blown the lead in one game.


That was the last time Effort actually was playing really well. After that he went back to being "just" good. And Effort won that series using early aggression, but since then Flash got way better dealing with such plays.

Zero and Hydra were promising Zerg players towards the end of BW; I wonder what happened to them.

Zero just went to military in May and Hydra got married and I think quit SCII. Not sure what he is doing now.


Thanks, good to know. But that's too bad. Zero was a great Zerg player and he could give Flash a good run for his money.

Sorry, are you referring to the OSL finals with the crazy comeback? You seem like you're talking about something that happened a long time ago. But I was actually talking about a set they had on stream just a couple of days ago. If you're interested, you can catch it here.

The Flash Stork(bacchus 2008?) finals were pretty much as one sided as this too'

July vs Best was what i was hoping for 2 cheese games into a macro game stomp in the last game

OK, I got confused. I thought you were referring to OSL. The first post was referring to the KeSPA period and when I saw you mention 3:2 I automatically assumed that you mean OSL back then. Also because there was a period just before that OSL were Effort was playing like a beast, but already by the time of the final he seemed below his peak.

I will check the link you provided. Thanks!

EffOrt winning a single set from Flash doesn't mean anything, especially when he has a losing record against Flash afaik and he also can't play as well on stage either. Thanks for the link, will watch regardless.

Well at least that saved me two hours.

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.

Maybe they thought no one would think it's an actual spoiler because it's divinely predestined.

I genuinely thought and felt like Shine is destined to win after some impressive ro8 and ro4 appearance.

Bisu vs FlaSh would have been such a great final ...

I'm sorry to be negative but no...Zero would be absolutely destroyed. I say this because at no point in brood war could Zero have hoped to beat flash in a best of five.

There's no reason to believe given Bisu's performance that he would not also have lost 3-0. Especially how terrible he looked vs Shine. Please set your fanboyism aside for a bit.

I couldn't watch live and read comments about Flash stomping Shine. I thought the games would be disappointing. But I wasn't disappointed at all. Great games and 3:0 sounds more one sided than it felt. Shine was in those games. Really entertaining.

Flash smashing drop ships down Shines throat to defuse the lurker fire and Shines innovative tactics. It’s incredible we can be seeing new strategies and new styles of playing in 2017. Broodwar has an infinite capacity to surprise.

I hope JD Effort Soulkey and the top Zergs see this as a blueprint playing Zerg. Only they have higher level mechanics to do transitions better than Shine has

Maybe not a blueprint. But Shines showing there are more options and making Zerg less predictable has to be a good thing.

I can see Flashs smashing through the front with drops becoming more common too. That bodes badly for Z.

So just out of curiosity (and to slightly sidetrack): which would you consider as the Top 3 best BW Starleague finals?

In terms of gameplay quality and competitiveness between both players?

(And while you're at it, you could list the Top 3 worst too!)

Now that I think about it, I've seen that dropship maneuver a few rare times on stream before but never in a real, offline game.
