Bisu did a great job of delaying Flash's push by threatening to cut off reinforcements repeatedly. Flash is simply too slow mechanically and wasn't able to push fast enough before the timing window was over.

If this somehow manages to be as good as Skyhigh vs Best game 3 was, oh man..

The commentators just said that Flash is sick with a fever and didn't take medicine because he thought it would mess with his mental condition.. weird.

nooooooo flash

He shouldnt have sent his vultures to try and destroy bisu's 2nd expo, too much walling options. Flash would've stood a much better chance going for another expo and a macro game. If you're gonna try and vulture harass don't do it while pushing forward, he just abandoned his tanks.

well, I think the push is when bisu started getting gateways

if you notice, bisu had that rag-tag army in the front running away which eventually came back and sniped the tanks + some rag-tag army in the front of his base that he made with his 4 gateways

I think what should have been done is flash should have WAITED instead of gone early

I disagree. i think the 5 fact push started (5 facts completed) with 4 gates on the protoss base. Camera shows bisus face :O then he adds like 4 more gates from nowhere.

he really did push just about as fast as he could. before that he had too many tanks and not enough vults, and he was trying to mindgame bisu to get bisu to think that he was going another 3/3 slowpush. Bisu managed to not fall for it, and bisu ends up throwing up just enough gates, and having just enough micro to win.

also, bisu had a control of units trying to flank flash, and the landed rax prevented them from following the push and countering it.

actually bisu went really fast arbiter and expantion, i think there was a small window where flash simply could have attack moved his way to the highground outside bisus natural, but he was abit too causious.

Well, most athletes (if he is or isn't an athlete dosen't actually apply to this discussion) hate having things that mess with their condition. sickness is bad, but at least it tends to be predictable. Drugs might make him slow, and that's worse than anything.
