EPTFlash, on the other hand, had a handful of mistakes in that series. It look like his hands couldn’t do everything his brain wanted him to do. The missed nexus cancel in game 5 was probably the biggest noob mistake I’ve seen Flash Make since he returned to SC1. I hope next season he doesn’t have the same physical or mental issues that stalled him in this series.

When he engaged Soma's lings, Flash had 13 drones, his pool was ~12 seconds from finishing, and he had 156 minerals in the bank. Why not just run around the base with the drones, and wait for 6 lings to hatch? That seems like definitely a better choice than to just fight straight up and suffer heavy losses. Maybe he overestimated the drones strenght, being a T player and being accustomed to the SCVs. | ||

Stupid picks, stupid players. Ask any one of them if Flash is favored against Soma in ZvZ and PvZ. | ||

When you are going to win ASL? There must be a reason why they think so. Maybe Flash had something more planned. I am pretty sure he practiced with most of these guys. | ||

Nerves, comfort, tilt are a real factor in games of this level, and you can't just discount EXPERIENCE, whatever you may feel about their skill level. | ||

They will not play for 3rd/4th place. 3rd/4th place match will be Flash vs loser of Larva vs Queen. Best did not make it to Ro4 so he can not be in the 3rd/4th place match. | ||

Not sure if the 2nd sentence is ironic or not but the thought that Flash is not great already as-is but an upcomer who wanted to attain greatness and got close but failed with this Ro4 loss and now he's just has-been average joe again, this thought process made me laugh hard. | ||

The build was a huge risk for Soma in that he would most likely be behind had Flash gone for any other build. | ||

So easy to call the great players of this game stupid when you cannot mantain simple coherence for more than two posts, I guess. | ||

Granted, there is a chance that Flash would try to play mind games like he tried against ZerO in the last ASL and lose as a result or he'll just straight up smash Soma haha. | ||
