Flash relies on having an almost equal sized army which he controls better than his opponent while multitasking perfectly to gain an expo advantage. So even if he loses a battle or 2 he will maintain an advantage into late game. Vults force flash to spread his thinned army even more and give great vision which might a top terran to force a strong battle victory, instead of a close victory. Go.go did this, but flash played pretty sloppy that game. Still the vults were the key. | ||

Flash defended Sea's first attack flawlessly, and his unit advantage directly following that battle caught Sea with his pants down trying to take 9oclock Sea couldn't fight it off and Flash took his third unmolested, then rolled over Sea with much stronger economy. Absolutely flawless timing by Flash. | ||

After Sea got a nice early bo advantage with his 8 rax just outside his nat into cc(he forced flash to cancel his cc after going 1 fact cc) his first attack of marines +5 tanks and 2 dropships got completely raped. Obviously Sea didnt expectflash to have dropship in time. Flash had 1 dropship with 4 gols which he droped right on 4 tanks on the high ground. Seas one tank on the low ground firing to the high ground simply added to the rape. From there Flash immediately went for the newly made 3rd expo, sieged near the choke to deny troop access, then pressured the expo itself w ith 2dropships. Fakesteve is right , Seas battle tactics were off and he droped in a poor spot. From there flash simply completely outmicroed him, targetting nearly perfectly when he needed to, spreading his units, and neutralized the base. After that Flash's nearly flawless macro mechanics allowed him to completely crush Sea in the final battle of the match with an army at LEAST 3 times the size of Seas at the same expo flash destoryed earlier. | ||

Even flash's gols were spread perfectly to avoid splash. | ||

Absolutely flawless timing by Flash. The Playback replay showed that following that first attack sea actually had a small (i think around 10) supply advantage over flash, it seemed to me that what did him in was that flash just positioned and micro'd his units alot better in that battle. | ||
