Zero countering Flash's fact first by going ling lurk allin. Flash didn't have any scouting info (from his scv) so he had to be safe vs lurks AND mutas, wasn't defended well enough vs lurks tho.

pretty fun

the success from both game 1 & 3 seems to have been due to the 2 scvs scouting.... seems like Flash's build cuts corners that he cant prepare for both


the scouting info he gets from his double scout allows him to hard counter the b.o (2h muta)

when he doesn't get any scouting info w/ his scvs he has to respect the threat of both mutas and lurks (which makes him vulnerable)

i wish people would stop calling builds "mindgames"; that's not how it works... you pick a build for every map in advance so that you aren't double guessing yourself constantly

I like these games. Decisive.


Really? Ok

This ASL had actually produced a lot of great games up to this stage...but today...well

Yeah, seeing long back and forth struggles is great, but I also rather like it when a good mindgame or plan goes together. Flash might look like his valkyrie build he did twice is the answer to 2 hatch muta, but his engagement went well for him both times and good clean execution and the micro involved in the engagements is a pleasure to watch. Zero's first win might look like a case of a BO fail, but Zero had to fight for it; it could had cascaded the other way. This fourth game was just pure mindgame. What's wrong with enjoying that?

no i want flash to win this whole thing. so we can see him play random next season!


Yes that would be good for the scene. Disgusting.

in sports having a/few dominant players/teams actually boost interest in that sport, face it, people like to support winners. jordan's bulls, golden state warriors, real madrid, barcelona, tiger woods etc. they boosted the popularity of the sport immensely. so no, flash is actually good for the scene

It's good for popular games, where some people just watch for the social aspect around the game more than the game itself, but in a niche genre like BW I'm not sure the same rule applies.

Atm they're changing and adjusting b.os on the fly (minus the gol rine game, that was a failed 2h counter by FlaSh). When FlaSh wins twice with a valk opener vs 2h muta that forces Zero to do something new, Flash is essentially bullying him off the build. Zero is trying to regain respect for his 2h opener by allining him.

Zero must have realised something fishy is going on. One base timing should had hit by now.

How is 1 gas valk? The transition seems hard if he does not do serious damage quickly.
