And does anyone know why SK chose not to use queens to counter Flash's mech army in both games? Was he intentionally crippling himself to test Flash's limits?

He is been toying with those goliath builds for a while now. It seems the first push is really hard to execute and if it fails, it’s extremely difficult to come back; but maybe this is a plausible response to SKterran late game struggles. That being said he defeated Soulkey in their first game, and in the second one, it just happened that Soulkey outflanked and outplayed him on the bridge during his push. It’s Soulkey after all.

I also wonder if it can work as a main weapon; it relies on the wall in and it seems to me that it’s an insta loss vs 4 pool?

Good to see Flash playing so well. His games against Bisu were absolute masterclasses on both how to punish greed and how to survive early aggression.

Flash didn’t go for a massive tank push. He had at most 5-6 tanks and a ton of goliaths. Queen is really meant to destroy tank based armies but they also open a window for terran.
So i think Soulkey never really got the opportunity or the need to invest into queens.

Quiet insane if Flash already has his form back. Let's see if he can get or keep =>66.7% winrate over 20 days of proleague.

That makes sense. Then the best counter to this massive Goliath army should be plague? After all Goliaths are clustered in a big mass, and just one plague can cast a wide spread damage, maybe even more damaging than to the bio army.

The best counter to that precise build i reckon is what soulkey did. Force terran to stay put with muta harass, expand, outmacro terran and try to crush the first push with sheer numbers of lurker / muta / lings.
