I'm beginning to wonder if the combo of Flash's game sense and algorithmic style of play is broken when combined with the scouting burden and suboptimal decision tree for the other player | ||

He picked the exact build to counter Rush's build without scouting anything and the bunker at the front finished the exact second the SCV died. If he had gone for anything but 2port he might've gotten flattened. | ||

It is auto win vs fast CC + good vs BBs.. so yeah Im not surprised he chose this I actually thought he might even 4/5 pool | ||

Then saw the tank and vultures breaking the eggs. He even built two bunkers remember even before the push hit ? | ||

If Flash rolls T or P, he won't scout immediately, so it is safer for opponents to go fast expand So the idea is to rush opp down Rush is thinking, if Flash is not scouting me early, I can rush him down The thinking is reasonable but game theory wise is probably not the best decision, I think. 7-8 pool just beats proxy raxes. | ||

I am really happy with the result though, BW hasn't been as exciting as this for quite a while for me. | ||

Just play safe and solid. Even if you're at disadvantage early game, just gradually chip your way for the win against Flash's P/Z (Flash Terran is just an auto-loss, too bad). | ||
