finals was hype cus it was 3-3 and it was funny cus Flash won every b.o battle, ultimately the gameplay wasnt the best tho
i dunno what Flash is clicking in that 8 rax vs 4p game, he miss rallies his rine out/doesnt change his rax rally point but his scv scout saw the lings coming, how do you not prioritize selecting ur rine the second it comes out to bring it behind ur wall and lift ur rax to make a full wall with 2nd depot?
like ya i get that his rine spawns outside in that location but my point is whats going through his mind and whats he prioritizing action-wise over selecting his rine and rax in that situation, theres nothing else to click (cus he completely forgets about his rine)
or in the last game why do u need to defend ur main when u know z is pure allin, theres no depots or anything in ur main anyways, ur depots are at ur nat and ur bunk/1 rax is there, just run scvs to nat and lift ur cc to ur nat.. why a move 4-5 slow rines out in the open vs speedlings trying to defend ur main? when u know speedlings are coming at u anyways from the front (not enough production to defend main + nat anyways, he only has enough production to defend 1 location)
just some really weird mistakes that u dont normally see Flash making, only explanation is that the mistakes were cus of nerves but those are very weird decision making and basic mechanics mistakes that u dont expect to see from him
and ofc i woulda like to see more valk/bio mix ups instead of purely going mech off his bo/eco leads, i wont complain too much about that tho cus that was part of his prep for w/e reason
Flash is the type of player who usually does a build and has every adjustment/response ready, even for the worst case scenarios like in those ling allin games in the 8 rax vs 4p game and the last game on matchpoint.. but it looked like he was completely caught off guard, like to the point where it looked like he never prepped to defend vs those builds in practice games.. u would think its impossible that he didnt prep for those scenarios but the way he reacted made it look like he didnt
on somas end his micro and mechanics were great as usual but his b.o prep was pretty bad, dunno why he didnt open pool first in the first games (or at least the 2nd game, we can give him a pass for Jane Doe cus its a non standard map) so he wouldnt fall behind in the mindgames vs cc first, he let Flash control the series b.o-wise cus of how the first few games played out, the funny thing is he still ended up winning the game he opened ovp vs 1 rax cc on Attitude (which is the scenario it looked like he was trying to avoid in the first few games)

The marine rally vs 4 pool had me shouting at the screen. Super weird mistake. It’s sloppy when you don’t update a factory rally point after pushing and a tank yolos across the map. It’s quite another when you literally only have one production building and one marine and you let it run across the map. His plan worked, two CC first into super fast defensive rax four pool, and yet he lost.
