The ideal scenario would be getting a re-scout in with a hidden probe, if not you have to respect the threat of DT and tech into a robo or forge behind it (assuming you wanna macro). You could also gamble and go 3g goon allin. | ||

12p gas is fine vs 1 gate/center 2 gate but it sucks vs forge expo, he should be able to outplay FlaSh in a ZvP even from a slight b.o disadvantage tho. Imo it's better than going 12 hatch and dying to 9p speed or center gates. | ||

Flash vs T are probably most interesting games to see due to his in depth knowledge of the match ups. exactly, that doesn't make any sense...

Imo it's better than going 12 hatch and dying to 9p speed or center gates. You can still defend 12hatch from center gates. ZerO already did it at least one time in a big tournament. For me, personally, 12hatch is the choice vs random. | ||

Second game Flash did a weird run around Best's initial move out and got into sort of a base trade with Flash coming out on top. Third game Flash Zerg! | ||

You're only supposed to have a 33% of rolling a mirror match, but my experience playing random tells me that it's more like 55-60% mirrors. It's very annoying. I once played 9 ZvZs in a row, I fucking HATE ZvZ. Quit playing Random after that. | ||

even more interesting if he can pick anything he wants for every game/series (P/T/Z/R) edit: that 14cc vs Z while going random was such a throw -- but it did save us from a non-R game and that "recall trap" w/the supply depot placement in g2 vs bisu was really nice | ||

Looks like it's too difficult to win with R without getting lucky and rolling your main. Although I can understand if we want to wait for a season or 2 of Flash going with pure R (and losing) before we give him more of an advantage. edit: imo it would be interesting if every player is allowed to pick anything (P/T/Z/R) for every single game (maybe r08 onwards)... not right then and there, but announced a week before the match so there can still be a lot of preparation going into it | ||

Probably to prevent copyright strikes and also many live streams tend to go private or deleted after on youtube channels | ||

We ban things that give an unfair advantage, not things that make people lose.. obviously under the assumption that everyone wants to win. If Larva wants to play with his feet, by all means let him | ||

Ah come on man, isn't this great to watch? I mean, yea he certainly still has some improving to do, but I'm sure if anyone can do it, it's Flash. I for one think it's great he's switching (if that is really happening) and it would definitely make his games so much more interesting to watch. | ||
