Had Flash been playing more defensively, he definitely would've lasted longer...but who knows if he could've won in the long run. He would've suffered a serious contain while Free expanded everywhere, so who knows? EDIT: Also, what is this OSL curse? I didn't get into Starcraft until after the GSI, so I'm unfamiliar with this terminology. | ||

Is losing 3 games losing quite a few matches?, have a look at his record and post for truth not just randomly. I doubt he's just getting exausted now, if he looses more than he wins in the next 10 games you can say hes on a slump | ||

You have been doing this in other threads too, and all sympathy for a player aside, do not start to insult fellow TLders. As for the issue of Flash: Players lose 3 games out of 4 sometimes, even the best ones. But Flash was on such a massive streak that this is unexpected. His last two game loss streak was from the finals of GSI in a Bo5 against Stork. That was March, and since then Flash has followed up on every loss with a winstreak of 4+. Taking these figures into account, he clearly hasn't been winning nearly as much as we're used to recently as Cobalt states. And all statistics aside, I wonder if I am the only one seeing more tension than usual creeping into Flash's face. He is playing a lot lately and he does not appear to have this dreamwalkerly easyness about him anymore which he had until few weeks ago. | ||

Yeah, he outplayed Flash just like when Luxury beat Flash. And I think that Free knew well that Carriers would be auto-lose helped him a lot. | ||

Looks like now, he's gonna get knocked outta osl too now. | ||
