Just move the drones and bring in the scourge-2 vessels sniped. He did know about 11 o clock, check between 1:06 and 1:07 on the english commentary video. Also, breaking 12 is easier than 11 since 11 has ramps+sunkens+a nydus canal that was up when Flash had his first two vessels. Also, 12 is open from three different angles while 11 is much harder to break. | ||

1) 12 isn't where all the hatcheries and zerg units are at, they're at 3 and going from 3 to 12 is far more time consuming then popping into a nydus canal to 11 and 2) he was never surrounded at 12, he used the wide open range to skirt around JD's Dark Swarms and kill the hatchery, twice, while keeping most of his forces alive, something would not be able to do if he sacked 11. If he went up that ramp, he wouldn't be coming down. 3) please stop, 12 is clearly easier to kill than 11 and he did so twice. 11 Had sunkens + nydus canal, 12 had nothing and is far more open to attack. | ||

Why couldn't Flash bring his units back down the ramp...? | ||

Also his science vessels were much safer at 11 than 12, where hydras and scourge were able to pick off countless numbers of them. Also 12 was much easier for Jaedong to reestablish and protect. Once 11 was down, without a nydus it would have been extremely difficult to reestablish a base there. Why couldn't Flash bring his units back down the ramp...? Dude, Flash has insane decision making, he probably had a reason beyond your understanding. Stop trying to justify Flash's loss using excuses. He lost because JD simply played better. Get the fuck over it, jesus | ||

Probably the most telling quotes: "He's so good, he's so smart, but he's so crazy at the same time. He just needs some mental help." and... "Flash just getting demolished, at the very end, by himself, I gotta say. He lost that game. Jaedong didn't beat him, so much as he just lost the game." ***End Transmission*** You DON"T make tanks if you go SK terran. Thats the way you do things. Tanks are only useful until Z gets swarm, then tanks get picked off very easily. It wastes gas, delays your vessel + prolongs muta harrass, and Flash already knew that it was going to transition into late game at that point. You need to credit how many vessel Flash lost to how well good is Jaedong's vessel sniping ability instead of trying to say Flash played lousy. This happens with every ignorant T fanboys everytime Z rapes SK terran build. | ||

Was this before or after Flash lost all those vessels to scourge? Seriously, if what you say is true, then the commentators could not be more wrong. With Jaedong's scourge micro, sending vessels to do an eraser trick is like throwing them away. | ||

Was a little worried about some of the YouTube comments but don't understand why they'd pick on them. I really think they did an excellent job with some great and insightful commentating. Personally I think Flash saw the upper left at some point though I'm not sure and guess SimonB would really like the closing comments  But overall definitely worth a watch | ||

Flash should of went for the 11 after his first attempt at 12 (whcih was a sucess). And mb switch around. but it was obvious that flash's multi tasking was lacking. From this game along its obvious that Jaedong's multi tasking is superior to flashs. Flash had a drop and then went afk with the dropped units for like 5 minutes. Then they all died to a single lurker that burrowed the INStant it saw marnies. Just attacking the base made Jaedong more prepared, he put up a second sunken at his 11 after his 12 got razed for the first time. I don't see why people would say that taking down 11 is easier, if he attacked 11, the one way he could escape is back down the ramp, and by then and maybe even when he reached 11, JD would've have noticed and trapped+raped his troops with DS/Plague. | ||

I just talked to flash on west and he said the korean commentators are wrong, doing an eraser would've been a dumb move. | ||

Could you please ask him whether or not he feels like loosing the game or Jaedong winning the game? Would really like to know from the horses mouth if SimonB is right or my boy is just a devine player Or if there's been some post-game analysis/interviews that I've missed. | ||
