Anyway Flash’s stubbornness is his own undoing, fairly certain he wins if he plays standard Not very hard. It's such an obvious decision. Losing that game after the bunker is up has to be on par with Queen getting knocked out by BCM after he opened over pool. | ||

That said, if Flash is really done... he's still the GOAT... just... now more debatably. Had he won, it would have been unquestionable for all time. Soma is a new era of player who may surpass even flash and jaedong... | ||

True as well, just a series of bad decisions in the final game causing him to lose, once the bunker got up if he just sent all his workers to nat and blocked off the entrance he wins that 9/10 times. Even sending the marines to clear the zerglings in main was bad as well, he could have just sat in his nat and Soma would have needed to try and do something. | ||

There is no way Flash is behind if he just abandons the main and builds up a few more marines before clearing it out rather then fighting those 7 lings with 4 marines. | ||

Speedlings just finished and Flash lost all his marines trying to clear out the lings in the main. Nothing but SCVs to defend the next ones. We're in disbelief that he kept losing SCVs instead of evacuating then tried to clear the main with no army instead of playing from the natural. Yes, it's a very wonky position, but it was playable, and zerg's economy was awful as well. Flash played like he had already decided he would GG after he held the attack. | ||

Hunkering down in the nat would've only delayed the inevitable. Soma had speedlings that would've harassed Flash's mining and forced Flash to keep SCVs around his bunker to prevent a surround. The bunker was not in a great position to defend the mineral line and Flash would've needed to keep half his SCVs just to protect it. Soma meanwhile would've switched to full mining and droned up on 2 bases. Flash was severely behind | ||

But anyhoo. Can’t believe Soma won that. It looked pretty clear that Flash was the better player after the first two games but Soma junked it up and it worked for him. Always a good day when Flash is humbled a bit but damn is he good. | ||

Might as well do a co-stream | ||

It was 17-13 supply with Zerg in 5 drones max at home. Flash’s bunker was very well placed at nat to deal with any harass. Flash just needed to seal off the entrance. If Soma went back to droning Flash could clear main and Flash’s econ would be way ahead as he’s already on 2 base. Anyway interested to hear Flash’s thoughts on this | ||

Flash was severely behind Point is he should evacuate right at the beginning, not after the lings have harassed the shit out of his main for a while (at that point damage is already done so the gg is understandable). So what if he has to keep SCVs to protect the bunker? His bunker is not protected at all anyway while his SCVs are fighting the lings in the main. Might as well lift main CC, move all SCVs to nat. That way you can block the ling runby too. It's a bonkers decision by Flash there's no argument about that. | ||
