If Flash does any sort of meaningful damage he gets a huge mid and late game advantage he doesn’t let go of. I agree in that I wonder if hydra is a better opening to deal with the harass and then maybe move to muta once the zergs eco is stronger. | ||

Rain's PvT is a lot weaker than most people give him credit for and he lost to Last and Sharp who are way behind Flash is TvP. Flash vs Snow would be a much better matchup. Wtf? You are wrong on so many levels Rain consistantly beats Flash (yes, on ladder + sponsored matches but they haven't met off line) Rain has owned Last's number except for the last time where Rain got EXTREMELY unlucky and LOST 2-3 He owned Sharp pretty easily in his KSL Championship run Rain vs. Flash will be fucking incredible and Rain has a GREAT shot at beating him, Flash even admits this Literally the only thing Rain needs to do to fix his TvP is to put his fucking templars in some shuttles and hes set | ||

Snow more than double his win rate at 11:25/30.5%. Both of them probably have better odds against Flash in a prepared offline tournament than those stats suggest, but Rain's going to have to prepare insanely well to have a "GREAT shot" at beating Flash. | ||

Both of them probably have better odds against Flash in a prepared offline tournament than those stats suggest, but Rain's going to have to prepare insanely well to have a "GREAT shot" at beating Flash. I completely agree with this and the stats are correct. Month by month, the Protoss players with the most consistent chance of beating Flash have been Best and Snow, especially considering sample sizes. More recently so possibly more relevant to this particular tournament, Snow has a 2-2 record against him since June, but that's too small a sample size to compare to the 20 games (13-7) Flash has played versus Best or the 33 (24-9) versus Stork in that same timeframe. Rain has lost 7 of the 9 games between the two, not too reassuring but a rather small sample size as well. All of those are on the ASL8 maps. Granted, online stats do not readily translate into probability of winning in an offline best-of series, but still, I'd consider Snow and Best far more dangerous than Rain. | ||

Not only Best (snow doesnt look affected much) is under performing to say the least, but Flash's game step up to another level. edit: Rain's game also step up in offline matchs, but i do agree that his chances of beating Flash are lower than snow. | ||

Must be really frustrating to root for the guy, he's so awesome on stream. Still, should he EVER reach the elimination phase of the ASL, I'd consider him the most dangerous opposition for any Terran alongside Snow. | ||
