This game was a good situation as any other to try to SPIRIT or something, play with his eco advantage. Stork chose to go Carriers, which was not a bad choice (any choice he made at that point would have worked), but it did put a strain on his money, kept him low eco, and had me slightly nervous I was also worried because stork had to send his first 2 carrier to attack without all the intecepters built. If Flash got gol earlier, flash might've able mount some kinda of defense. | ||

Stork didn't win that game, flash lost it with his crappy bunker rush. | ||

If you mass cannon up the front before main vs anything other than hydra timing, you're at a huge disadvantage vs 3 hatch standard build and auto-loss vs 2 hatch muta or 4 hatch expansions. If you cannon your main first, then you lose vs hydra timing like what happened here. | ||

Stork didn't win that game, flash lost it with his crappy bunker rush. Bunker rushing that late (after factory complete) is 50/50 against 14nex anyway, no way you can say anyone "had" the game before the first micro fight | ||

If you cannon your main first, then you lose vs hydra timing like what happened here. this is exactly right, you either a) make a lot of anti-hydra cannons --> possibly die to 3 hatch ling and normal 3 hatch eco b) make a few anti-ling cannons --> die to hydras and for both you have to guess whether savior is early muta, and make cannons at your main | ||

Any other Terran worth their salt would have tried to regain the advantage through all the Terran tricks: Seizing positional advantage, Later timing push, vulture raids, slow mech crawl, turtle till 200, maybe even a tank drop. Only Flash, with his fear of the late game, would make such a drastic move like that (and a move he is ill-equipped for... he ended up making many big micro mistakes) | ||

Jaedong was very impressive. Savior showed his true greatness with his build. Up is an underrated player who could be a bit of a darkhorse. | ||

Savior got right back into the game after his failed hydra push and still put up a great fight. And guessing right is like 1/4 chance, that's pretty bad odds for the P =/ | ||

Flash is a greedy little boy who tries to get as many games as he can when he should try to improve even during the tournament games imo. But I may be wrong I am not behind is back when he is training. | ||
