HOW IS FLASH SO FUCKING GOOD.

I was extremely impressed with Snow in game 1. I thought Snow played perfectly in Game 1. Flash just showed us perfection on Sparkle.

That game sense scanning all the time holy shit. Snow was scared to move with his shuttles the whole game. And just deserting his 3rd was a great move as well, Snow had a good number of units there doing nothing.

I'm surprised Flash didn't build 1 vessel, observers give so much intel on this map.

Yup. He beat snow with pure map sense. More than macro, it was his map sense. That's insane.

What a game by flash. The difficulty to keep that map control with the wraiths is insane.

Also what's up with SnOw's build? Ultra fast dt drop and hoping to find terran on first try? He was really lucky he found FlaSh on the first try but how good would that build have been had he found Flash second or last? Seems like a true cheese build to me

Too much effort and resources to keep Snow in the dark. Knowing flash, he probably kept some of them alive on purpose so that he could psych Snow out.

No other terran could've won in that situation. Not to be too much of a fan boy but it's true. He was just stronger and faster. He did more in the limited time both players were given. He did what brood war is made for. Being faster in a given time. Being smarter in a given time. It was beautiful.

Those 2 first games were masterful. Man, what a treat, flash is still proving how far above other terrans he is. Flash is so entertaining in how well he is able to adapt to just about any disadvantage. That's why I like unfair maps, because THIS happens. Players have to adapt and come with new playstyles, just like jangbi vs fantasy on pathfinder.

Man, Flash was so freaking greedy that game, going for a 3rd cc off 1 fac and 2 port lol. His air control was insane though. All Snow had to do was try to get a shuttle in and he would've slaughtered so many workers. Flash had no ground army at the time but the wraith maneuvering made it so that Snow was too worried to move out. Then of course, he sets up a mini contain and eventually doom drops him. Well played by Flash. Feels like Snow sat back too much after due to Flash's wraith and should've tried a long flight to the main imo.

Super greedy yes, but he had faith in his very risky wraiths. And it payed off only because of his incredible game sense and diligence with scan. I feel like its not what he planned at all. But he adapted on the fly to what he needed to do to win.
