He let a gajillion Vultures in afterward, and lost a gajillion Drones. Normally “killed first Vulture with no losses” implies you stopped Vulture harass. Here the opposite happened. Silly to use first Vulture as reasoning for map balance here. You have more units to block by the time the second one comes. Action just didn’t, unfortunately. | ||

But Flash forcing Action to ditch a macro game and into his tempo for pre-mid game all-in style aggression. WP to both. Not quite true imo, Action went for early game all-ins most of the games (or at least get an advantage by doing a weird build). Action played it alright, but he knew straight up he'd be at a disadvantage. Flash didn't really do too much special except for the last map, but Action seemed to handle with that pretty well until the extended vult harass. | ||

And suddently terran gets million vessels. Talking about map balance in a game where Zerg lets a bunch of Vultures into their main, and citing Vessels being made off one base to counter a Zerg that had no economy due to aforementioned Vultures, is showing you don’t understand what an unrepresentative outlier is. The map may or may not be T favored, but the reasons people are citing in this thread are terrible. You may as well talk about map balance for a game where one player started with three workers. | ||

Last two games were just...straight throws. That’s too simple a way to look at those games. Game 4 maybe wasn’t a great game aesthetically, but it was not a throw. Action still would’ve won if Flash missed his lings for ~3 more seconds (even after the wasted early lings). This game is what Effort vs. Flash game 5 in 2010 OSL would’ve looked like if Flash caught Effort’s lings in that game. And that’s one of the most memorable games of all time. Sometimes games go down that way - if it works it’s legendary, and if it fails, it looks terrible. In game 5 Action held the Bunker rush perfectly and Flash even said he thought he was going to lose after he didn’t get the natural Hatch. He didn’t expect Flash to just force feed a second Vulture in, and that single misread cost him the game (since it led to Vulture snowball). If Action keeps two more lings at home to keep Vultures from being able to run through, he is in fantastic shape. I wonder if people complaining about game 5 have actually played TvZ. 8 rax (which already hurts your economy) that does minimal damage (I think he got zero Drones?) into one base play is a very unforgiving place to be economically. | ||

He already had quite a few goliaths and marines, yea the lings would've dealt damage but I doubt it would have been game-ending. | ||
