Yeah, TLO outplayed him but he didn't really need to. All he really had to do was attack constantly and trade armies because you know that kind of Toss will not go out and engage without a massive army. TLO was being way too cute with his play and paid for it because it just allows the Toss to macro up into deathball status and all your units are just scattered to the wind when the attack finally comes.

Flashback with a great comeback, and a really solid calm style. Reacting to harrasment without overreacting was impressive. TLO losing loaded medivacs again, attacking with wrong army compositions (vikings?) and really i have to ask; where is TLO's unique refreshing style? Haven't seen him inventing his own style for a while now.. Well the 7rax was fun but tonight was really poor.

Hurts me to say it but Flashback was the rightful winner of this Bo3.

not quite sure if TLO outplayed him... The way I saw it, protoss was being passive in all the games and that style just worked against TLO's overly harrass-oriented style... I mean harrass is great but TLO definitely needed ghosts and more vikings to have that fight more even. I was cheering on for TLO

Good job, Flashback! TLO's not even going to qualify for IPL2. Well, maybe when a lot of good players already qualified.

Hm, I really dont want to judge TLO, so I will just point out some things I noticed

He got blue flame (which was a good idea seeing he was struggling against those zealots, but in the final confrontation he only had 1 hellion.)

The vikings engaged the Colossi totally unprotected, they all died pretty fast while the Bio was kiting the zealots.

Ravenplay seemed pretty uneffective, 3 ghosts would have been much more beneficial imo.

I don't know, hope TLO will qualify on the Next qualifier, we need him in this League!

Ye but his harras was kind of weak, he lost too many units while doing it - that evens out the harras on its own. Losing banshees and loaded medivacs just by poor micro is hardly cost effective. He was aggressive, but forgot to oversee his units in their goal; to harras and get ahead. Losing 5 probes to 2 banshees.. i'll take it!

You'd know more than me but at the very least he outmacroed him. The second game was almost comical. Lose every engagement and still be even in food.

the only reason why i 2 raxed in that game is because game 1 and 2 he didnt scout using scvs and i figured he would fe on shakturas when he picked it. and i didnt bring single scv for the attack because i was expanding behind it. that was sorta funny drewbie.
yes

Drewbie, was dde ACTUALLY lucky he won? Is it actually cheese if he knows you didn't scout the previous games and even IdrA has said it either casting or while streaming that you tend to cut corners and play greedy.

Sometimes I wish Kiwikaki would join another team, he's a great player and you can't argue with that. ROOT wouldn't be much of a team without him to be honest : /.

you don't need to explain yourself, you played great and made the right decisions (including game 3).
