flash is just a killer, and that was a bad decision by hwasin to try to triple expand. Hwasin finally has his third up though at the bottom right, so it's not like he's far behind.

hwasin needs to get his own dships up and running soon though, so that he can get slightly more map control and start seeing if he can get some sort of expo advantage.

4 dships for flash, and hwasy has been waiting for flash to try to drop to get his third gas, becuase hwasin thinks that he can get a unit advantage this way. flash just wasted his drop, but he still has all 4 of his dropships.

hwasin is running out of mins at his main/nat...

If Flash wins, he's 9-0 this *week,* so probably.

Hwasin has a really extensive tank line extending basically right through the middle of the map.

and hwasin has just set up a very impressive turret/tank line across the whole bottom 2 thirds of the map. pretty cool really, but flash looks like he's going to try to break it right here with his four dropships and a floating ebay to take all of the turret fire. very slick play by flash

hwasin retakes his base however, and flash knows that he's actually *gasp* fallen behind. What is flash going to do now. It looks liek he's thinking about making a bc switch already, but I don't think that's going to end up working

Flash has been completely encircled by Hwasin. He needs to get something done fast.

flash is winning the upgrade battle, but he dosen't have enough tanks and dropships to make it worthwhile. Flash is left with 2 dropships, and he needs to come up with a really good plan to make this work.

why is always flash the first one with +2 atk? does the other guys not understand that he always gets lots of advantage during middle game due to 2 shotting tanks instead of 3 shotting them. hurr hurr end of rant. ofc they realize but it happens all the time.
