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? | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||
