"Contrary to his Brood War style of defensive play and specific timing attacks, Flash’s constant map presence and multitasking was the trademark of his SC2 play, always seeming to push his opponent into uncomfortable positions."

Someone's stuck in 2008. Flash was like this for the entirety of his reign of dominance in BW.

Samsung vs. Stars was yet another match where we saw vastly divergent play on Arkanoid, a map whose rocks were recently nerfed in round two

Can somebody tell me what was changed on Arkanoid for Round2. I think I didn't catch it. Thx.

Ehh maybe tvz I guess? but I think his tvp/tvt were very patient and definitely didn't seem like how he played in SC2.

The rocks go down automatically after an amount of time. They shortened that amount.

His TvT maybe(no player had consistently aggressive, high winrate TvT tho), but even his TvP had an absurd amount high aggression. He was more cheese terran than turtle.

From Liquipedia:

Neo Arkanoid reduces rock and creep colony destruction to 18 from 20 minutes. Base exits were also changed to only allow Reapers to exit from the main base instead of outer bases. Also removes the ability for Colossus to leave base without destroying rocks.

It would be great if there was anchor for every match recap so it could be linked directly from Liquipedia.

So what you're telling me is that I should have put Roro on my anti-team. I've fallen for that trap once, but never again!

Also, I know it's mentioned, but that it seemed that that Flash vs Revival game really came down to Revival throwing away infestors at Flash's base, then not having enough to defend. Flash obviously played well, but that as such a big blunder for Revival who was teching up and not building units when he lost all those infestors.

Jaehoon's newly picked ID is "Argo", not "Agro".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argo

But thanks for the nice writeup, even though it centered a bit much on how many picked whom. Would have liked to see what picks really paid off more, especially when it comes to the less obvious ones.

Also, I think Revival at only a cost or 3 initially but in the end scoring 7 points should have been included in the Biggest Winners category. But that's all subjective I reckon.
