Soulkey will get eliminated this round tho.

But I think next round snow will overcome flash.

Really surprised Rush didn’t attempt to play conservative and make flash play in the late game. The timing push in game two was daft and the proxy rax in game three was even worse.

Flash finished Starcraft multiplayer.
Highest win rate Terran.
Highest win rate Protoss.
Highest win rate Zerg.
Highest win rate Random.
Now he’s just going for 100% completion achievement.

Someone remake the Jaedong mustache Zerg meme except with flash as alternate races.

I am not sure whether the ultimate feat is indeed winning ASL playing random or whether it is winning it with all three races. Random of course requires you to be exceptional in all three races at the same time but it also gives you an advantage and some players seem to go awry against random.
kinda right, kinda wrong

I can't help but feel disappointed that we only got to see 3 quick games today, but I'm also happy for witnessing something truly special.

This feels like Michael Jordan deciding to play basketball with a tennis racket and a hockey stick, while still scoring 35 PPG.

Flash is insane.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

To Rush's credit, probably his gameplan was: "I fast-CC blind in G2. Flash thinks I will fast-CC again in G3. So he'll fast-expo in return (as Terran, Protoss, or even Zerg). But I proxy rax to kill his fast expo. Hah!"

Not saying the idea was wise.

"I'll try to outsmart Flash"

It kind of makes sense. Trying to play "normal" vs random has a higher chance of a BO loss, and you are doomed anyways if Flash happens to be T. Might as well do something funny that you think would equalise the random chances that is part of playing against random. Proxies nullify the advantage of random.

And I got off work early, thinking it'll only be 1 hour into the matchup and I'll catch a couple of games... to see the youtube video already finished. I knew the result before clicking it.

The tvt was actually the closest game.
If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

Which happens to be the game that Rush played safest, standard, and reactive. Sure, he was slightly BO disadvantaged, but he nearly clawed back into the game.

I still feel this is the most optimal strat against Flash rendom. As someone said, a safe solid Zerg like Soulkey will be his kryptonite.

What? proxy double rax is anything but standard, safe and reactive. He was doing that before he scouted flash, let alone what build he was doing to be anywhere near close to "reactive".

If soma can beat snow and Soulkey loses... I can see Flash winning this tournament. It would go down as one of the greatest esport accomplishments of all time. Let's go Flash!

Still can't believe hundreds of thousands are watching LoL instead of flash flexing on the entire scene. Yeah I get faker is good but damn... He is Nowhere near the dominance and skill of flash. Not even fking close.

Edit: I know that faker ain't even in worlds
