I like how everyone is saying how bad Bisu played and no one credits how solid Flash's standard game.
Same as last season. Shine looks incredible throughout the season with ridiculous builds then gets completely shut down in the finals and looks like a scrub.
Flash makes good players look shit..period.
I believe everyone instinctively agrees/believes that Flash is solid so it doesn't get discussed.

God damn, why did Bisu decide to expand when he lost all his goons and Flash unsieged to counter.. He had to? That expansion came way too late but better late than never...
If he would have got few more units out and somehow killed Flash's push, he might have had the chance to force lift on the forward CC. Either way I think it would have been better to accept playing from behind rather than trying to expand vs push without any dragoons, especially on that map.

I feel like there is something uniquely clutch with Flash's offline performances. Online, during his streams, he loses a fair bit. I guess it could be because of the non-competitive nature of the games, but when you think of Soulkey, Best and Effort, they're extremely capable of beating him and still he is the one ending up in the finals every season.This time he navigated around them through choice and a bit of luck. So I guess my question to the ether is whether he really is this good or if circumstances have favored him in an uncanny way. There is no doubt in my mind that his psyche is second to none in the BW scene, and that certainly counts for a lot in offline environments.
Anyway, I hope he wins the finals cements his legacy even further as a uniquely strong player, one that works hard for it and is willing to lose a lot to win even more. It's like he said about his practice games, he lost a lot of them, maybe because of his absence of vanity and desire for shortsighted, unimportant victories. Better to lose 20 online and learn from losses and experimenting, than winning unimportant matches by going for what you're already great at to bolster an empty online win-loss ratio and ending up stagnant. My 5 cents...

pretty much. Someone will probably argue that Flash is too defensive but it's much that what we got imo.

We need jangbi back to show toss how it's done and honestly I want Jangbi to play FlaSh and dismantle him with storms.
I second that, sadly its looking like Jangbi doesnt give a damn about Starcraft since he retired.

This is hilariously hard to do, Flash just makes it look easy. I can 200/200 in <13 min vs the computer like Flash, yet I cannot beat average protoss players.

We're not talking about you or me tho, we're talking about high end progamer T's.

then explain why protoss has a favorable win rate over terran across all games? like we understand, terran's 200/200 mech is pretty strong. But protoss has many options to deal with it. arbiter stasis to cut the army in half, storms which we never see anymore, critical mass carriers, recalls to stall terran. These are all options for Protoss and just because bisu played uninspiring and lackluster starcraft does not make any of these things any less true.
G1: Bisu goes for a total BO loss 2 gate power goon vs siege expand, probably hoping flash would have 1 rax FEd or 14CCd. 4 knows bisu is forced to go for a double expand, counters with 4 fact timing and bisu almost manages to hold as well. So from being so far behind just by the early game builds, he didnt do bad and you cant attribute that to tesagi.
G2: Bisu was actually well ahead in the early game by killing several scvs, managed to expand very well and quickly across the map and reached 6 bases when flash was at 3. his initial push on the ramp was terrible though, and he needed to either stasis the back tanks, or stasis the front tanks and retreat without losing much. instead he ran head on with like 15 zealots, lost all of them due to getting clumped on stasised units, and killed barely anything. also no storms from him, instead making archons. once again, that game was entirely on bisu to lose... and he did. imagine if he had storms instead of archons and didnt burn 3 stasis on a horrible attack? I honestly think he holds the first big push from flash.
G4: He goes for basically a pseudo-all-in with double speed shuttle and fails to do any damage with it. idk what to say about this. yes, it does show terran's inherit ability to defend and flash knows how to defend and turtle better than anyone. this was probably the only game where you could argue tesagi.

Yeah, watch as a Terran army sieges 3s too late and their army magically disappears.

look at that vod and tell me where you're pushing in before T moves out? he had a wall at his third, wall at natural, turrets and mines everywhere as anti recall def. You have to pick that first fight better, more in the open, with storms and better stasis i agree. But i felt there was no way to trade armies in an acceptable way before that.

That's not a micro mistake that's a newb mistake, again i'm talking about high-end progamer T's. Being able to scan ahead of your army is a given, when have you seen a progamer T siege his tanks late in a 200/200 fight vs P?
All terran has to do is scan, siege/unsiege and EMP, once you hit 200/200 you don't even need to plant mines to fight P's army (mines become extremely effective once you secure a good position and you can cut off reinforcing units from other bases with them).
Odds of making a micro mistake is extremely low given how little you need to do to manage your army and the strength of it. The biggest mistake T can make is getting caught off guard and getting a lot of their vessels stasis'd while they're unsieged. Obviously that's an instant loss but that has nothing to do with micro, it's more of a multitask mistake.

You could recall to trade portions of the army earlier, but Bisu was scared since the goliaths of flash damaged his arbiter pretty hard and so any recall bisu felt would not work since he would immediately recall behind turrets and he probably expected flash to have mines directly behind. if he couldve gotten an arbiter at full health to the center of flash's main to recall, perhaps he would have been more confident to pull the trigger and recall. I agree he cant push into flash until flash tried to move across the bridge into a choke.

Because using storms is a Samsung PvT style. In SKT, Best just streams unlimited amounts of zealots into the Terran army and destroy them.... :D
