His macro vs Snow last week and Light this week was almost not human. He was constantly like 20-50 supply up even when taking suboptimal engagements. | ||

When he’s not playing the other pros get sucked into a malaise of good but not great. I am convinced that Flash is behind the recent surge in meta play. He seems to have boiled the game down to a science and has imparted his ways of thinking to other players, especially the Protoss, and now you see them playing a slow and deliberate style like Terran. One of the basic principles seems to be playing around your range for map control. So Protoss have adopted this against Zerg by massing Dragoons and sitting back with storms. | ||

IMO (complete speculation) it is like he is playing without worrying about posture anymore since he knows this may be his last ASL... Also the belt thing after every game is ridiculous lol... Maybe instead of a golen ruler, ASL can give Flash a golden button or golden belt buckle. | ||

I can see why Flash was able to exploit this. Also, if you've seen Light's games you know he's actually one of the slower Terrans, at least against Terrans and Protoss opponents. Alot of the replays I've seen of his he hovers around 250 alot. Light is by no means slow though. he has moments where he goes lower, but averages 290-330 with almost no excess inputs. He generally has the crispest timings vs P and Z. TvT is his worst but usually not this lopsided even vs FlaSh. He got outbuild ordered by FlaSh quite hard every game because light went pure standard. | ||

Best kind of started mixing up his play significantly more after getting demolished by Mini in a PvP series due to being so predictable. That felt like a turning point (not that he really saw more success overall since, just you can see he plays longer series with more variety now). Wonder where Light will take his play from here. | ||

Then watch many of the other terrans like Flash, Barracks, they're never below 300. Im not saying it's. Huge difference, who knows, but he is noticeably slower and you can see how that translates to Flash being able to multitask better in this series. | ||

Huge difference, who knows, but he is noticeably slower and you can see how that translates to Flash being able to multitask better in this series. It is most noticable with Speed. Speed has become the best performing online Terran behind Flash and Light purely because he is by far the fastest terran who can actually put that APM to effective use with Multitasking. Speed generally wins TVP vs Mini, Best, Bisu, and does well enough vs SnOw. His TvZ also generally wins vs everyone but SoMa. Most of his games are Chinese spons or Chinese/starcast spons so they dont always appear on Eloboard. | ||

Protoss really got shafted by having the slowest moving ranged attacks. Mines are really good, but z and t can a move through a minefield and have a decent chance of blasting them as they pop up. | ||
