Flash's mechanics is without a doubt there. He had great, not best splits too. He just needs to be more familiar with how the game works. I don't ever see opening CC first being a good idea against zerg, because you won't be pressuring them for a very long time and they can take very quick thirds and fourth. Needs more tanks. Effort meanwhile looks like he really knows what he's doing. That macro was insane.

For the SC2 buffs of this thread:

How does Effort's skill currently compare to the GSL Code S players at the moment?

Effort played really fucking good. Flash put on like zero pressure that game and Effort got up to 85 drones incredibly fast. That style was so fun to watch, relentless attacking without overproducing mutas.

Would like to see Lizzy v Effort. Probably would be much more competitive than anything we've seen so far.

Lizzy and Effort are both dang good at SC2.

He took his third at like 4:30. You don't even see the third that early vs Protoss against an FFE most of the time.






I don't see how anybody can expect Flash and Dong to be good when they've barely played the game yet.

? he maxed out at 12:30, maxing out at 10-11mins off of ling bling muta is physically impossible


even maxing roaches in 10 mins with fast third like zvp is impossible

Effort looked fantastic there - very JulyZerg style as well, just hitting that attack button and going all out.

Some of the BW pros are looking amazing at SC2 already.

hey flash, zerg is pretty good in sc2 when you dont pressure. my god that was painful.

not that he didnt pressure, but that his tanks were very late though he chose to do a turtle build..



tbh his build was not good. if you want a quick 3rd, that's fine. but use a more aggressive build like fOrGG's hellion//banshee to at least put SOME pressure on the zerg. if you just make marines, medivacs, expand, then tanks, the zerg will just get out of control.

Effort is seriously ridiculously but it was really bizarre not to see Flash put any pressure on at all. Despite his lack of tank production he held that first attack marvelously.
