Really disgusting map and TO mindset. If Flash can somehow God his way to another title (heavily doubt it after seeing the games) or at least make it into the finals, the higher ups at this studio ought to jump off the top of the Afreeca building.

a sieged tank in the main base to protect that third ?
i think that would have been very effective

this game will take so much time more and then result still doesn't change.

Terran can't win only with four bases vs Zerg take eight bases.

To be fair, most of the later game, T was on one (running) base and Z on two (which weren't completely saturated).

Well that seems a bit extreme lol... also I think Flash has a lot of opportunity on these maps. He's disadvantaged a bit but I believe. I think most players are not adapting that great to the differences in the maps. I think Flash will do this. He will take the changes and adapt to gain an advantage.

I keep it vague because hes basically grown as a player where he will just adapt on the fly.

haha guess i've never really liked hero's playstyle.. so passive and macro focused. but agreed he played the map perfectly.

Well I'll have to point out heros skill at zvz. I mean the stats show that. He has the micro

But I understand what you're saying.

I mean im just a B- iccup player back in the day playing on korean times. But I can tell you thats absolutely the way to win vs Terran lol. Save your units, let terran come to you and make the mistakes. Use your scourge. Win. Thats how you do it.

Go mech vs Zerg on a good air map and Terran can only secure at most 1 ground-defendable expansions??????

Well yeah I guess going mech is pretty hard on this map.

That game was so freaking scrappy. Imagine playing that game from herO's point of view. Just non-stop drops everywhere, tank drops on ledge, eraser on workers, nyduses sniped, wraith harass, constantly losing bases and workers and having to rebuild. I don't even play zerg and I have nightmares about having to deal with that shit.

Exactly, and the fact he won just shows hes just in better shape. Faster, stronger. I feel bad for mind honestly.

Artosis is making really good points. 5 rax into 2 port dropship early after 1 vessel is very smart. But the mnm has to keep active on the map keeping the zerg busy.

Vessel should save energy for the first defiler if possible.

I know that Sparkle and Gladiator which two maps were banned in the game 1 and game 5. But I don't know, Hero banned both 2 that maps or every gamers banned one map?

Freaking Third World. Mind was playing out of his mind there till the last bit

He was floating close to 1.2k minerals so he just remade everything.

That's true he can remake everything but I would be hesitant to say why Mind lost is that simple. For the time Hero didn't have a third was time drones weren't mining from that third, and more importantly, mining a third gas. The minerals spent on remaking the bases is also money that could've been spent on other things whilst Mind's "equivalence" in resources didn't have him remaking things. I think what really did Mind in was losing the science vessels which lost all of his mid game and late game agency besides drops.

edit: Although I guess it'd be considered evened up resource wise Hero had that significant of an advantage but I really think it was neck and neck up until losing both bases.
