I don't think a single game this series was decided from map advantage. Just whoever was ready to be more cut throat and ballsy. | ||

He lost too many scvs, soma had gas and was getting his natural, lifting main would take forever(like, natural hatch would finish by the time that CC made an scv). Losing all those marines on the failed attempt to kill lings left even natural open, although saving them and letting main empty out wouldn't be much better. It was over when he let the 2nd round of 6-ish lings run by. Hmm need to watch it again but Flash's nat was already up and he had SCVs mining there, all his depots and barracks were there as well. His nat bunker covers most of the mining area. Soma pulled like 4 to 5 drones and his econ was wrecked. Flash could have built up more marines and cleared the main, it wasn't like a clear cut loss imo. Seems way too early to gg in an game 7 of a finals. | ||

Yeah I don't blame Soma for "cheesing" at all there or in the series. Had to be done. Also you guys I missed most of Soma's interview which I feel awful about. I translated the last couple of Flash ones with ChatGPT but I can't rewind on SOOP to get Soma's.  . I apologize. | ||

Especially after losing Korean Air the same way, I had hoped he would have learned. It's all good. GGs | ||

but soma knew he was thinking this, Flash has done it so many times this tournament but unlike Light, he was willing to call and put it all in on pool first from a viewer perspective, it sucks cause of the lack of awe-inspiring play. but from a competitive player perspective, this correct read was not hard - it was pretty damn likely flash would cc first, but to actually call and counter it with an all-in pool first when the stakes are at the highest? that's quality drama in of itself i can appreciate that, but still would have liked to see a more technically advanced series. tbh i'm not even sure if flash is capable of it right now (be it his wrists or something else), he advanced in this tournament on the strength of his TvT (which is undeniable) and really the only Z match was a fail mech against JD | ||
