Mind will destroy Bisu , Best , Free and of course BackHo if he plays like he did versus Kal . Stork and JangBI are monstrously good in the MU and they can kill enyone and make it look easy ... Althought i don't give clear advantage over Mind to no one except JangBI , because Stork is already dead i'm looking forward to an epic Free vs Mind series . | ||

Flash played kinda of meh turtle turtle and in the end not even win . skyhighs play today was a bit more style specific. that hardcore 3 base timing rush is real good vs best since he almost always goes 3 base arbiter, gives a nice timing window if you can get your econ up in time and on a map like andro or medusa with 3 easy bases you can do it. flash style may be more entertaining, but it doesnt really have any holes (although part of that is because he does it so well). flash lost today because bisu played really good, quite a bit better than best. | ||

I just watched the games since i'm not a terran player and saw that Skyhigh overwhelmed Best in almost all the games with superior micro nice decisions and good macro . But i did thought that the style he showed was not just specificly to counter Best , but it was his normal style of play ... Since Skyhigh and you are on CJ i thought Iris has influenced his play , but thanks for the insight . | ||

Your post has a logical fallacy, it's not possible to play better than best. | ||

The only army bisu had was a shuttle and temps. I see flash sending some tanks to both bisu's expos and thought gg. I come back later seeing that bisu won wtf. And reading the replies lost to hero dts  .Flash didn't "win" the game then and there like many might think. His expo at 9 was attacked earlier and he didn't really saturate it again, his main was running out, he just started 3, and his nat was also running out. Flash's production rate at that time was much, much slower than Bisu's (otherwise Flash's macro would have pumped more units than Bisu). Recall that Flash had a lot of tanks at Bisu's nat that was stormed / eventually destroyed, but no reinforcements really came in. Flash didn't have the game won in the sense that he had to do MORE than Bisu to win the game. Bisu just had to macro macro, get rid of the contain, and he was comfortably ahead maybe 5 bases to 2.5. EDIT: To be clear, Flash could have won the game there. But so could have Bisu. And Bisu did. I think Bisu was clearly the better player in this BO3. | ||

Also, Skyhigh was ahead for the last 2/3 of the game. He expoes twice because he's ahead, pressuring and sending vultures and tanks while Best was scrapping to defend his nat, his 9 o'clock, and barely surviving. I saw flashes of comebacks from Best but he really lost the game when he countered Skyhigh's main. In contrast, Flash was shaken by Bisu's late bulldog (and I don't think Bisu could have won without that rush) but he still had the "hanbang" as commentators would put it. The 2/1 upgraded terran army, near maxing out, pushing out -- that's what killed Bisu in the first game, and it was RAGY close to killing Bisu in game 3. | ||

No matter one likes it or not (I for a reason dont care at all) Ignorance like yours is just terrible to behold. Kal's game a flash of hope? More like normalcy for Mind. Fall into oblivion? Is that what you call a 57% win rate and 7-3 in his last ten games? Laughable TvP? Is that what you call going 11-6 against the 6 dragons since his MSL win? Even most of his TvP losses have come from maps like Destination and Medusa, both of which have shown a clear imbalance in the favor of protoss. I doubt you even checked the facts before you posted, mostly like too busy feed your charizard rare candys to care. | ||
