With no roaches....this is why macro mechanics need nerfing/elimination. Game's too fast!

Effort played well - but any zerg plays well vs no harassment. Be interesting to see how he matches up against some top SC2 terrans, it's a completely different game for zerg when they get harassed from the get go.

He macro'd really well.* Can't tell how good he'll be (in ZvT), until you see them trying to macro, defend multiple drops and deal with the main army at the same time.


Put him against MMA and see how well he fares against his drops of hell.

I can guarantee you that macro and multitasking is not what is going to set Effort back, the guy is insane at that. What is going to stop him is decision making and tactics, which the BW pros are less experienced in.

"See how he fares against drops" is a silly test if you've ever seen S-class Zergs multitask in BW ZvT.

Regardless, we'll see how he does ZvP against Korean GM, though I suspect if he loses it'll surely be decision making and not mechanical execution.



agreed. just look at how fast jaedong reacted to a little warp prism warp-in blip during his game. INSTANT reaction.

He happened to be controlling those roaches right when the opponent warped the zealots in, though. He was going to move the roaches away at the same time he moved the queen away, but he turned around.

To everyone asking how such and such player compares to GSL players:

Code A qualifiers are coming up. I'm sure we'll all have the opportunity to see how well they compare very soon. It's pretty absurd to try to judge their ability based on a single performance against another player of unknown ability.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

Lol I really don't think the top BW players are even a little bit concerned about a mechanics fight vs the top SC2 players.

Honestly I would be surprised if they tried to qualify for this code A. I would probably expect a lot of them to try to go for the next code A though.

Flash is a fighter and a champion. He will grow until e demolishes Effort. He made a new enemy in sc2.

Don't worry guys, Flash will never accept not being the Ace. He will up his practice schedule by another 16 hours/day.

Lol, all sc2 pro would have macro like Effort did when Terran put on zero pressure... He took his third with 20 lings and no spines... Once his production kicked it, not much any Terran can do

Effort played well but it was nothing special. Flash just let him get away with it.


flash had extreeemely fast third, he just chose to not pressure, you dont actually NEED to pressure zerg if your eco is going to be that high


Indeed. What Flash failed at, or what Effort did well, was simply scouting the Rax into 3CC build. And Effort immediately played very greedy from there. All one can say is that effort's corner cutting was perfect in that game.

As for where that ranks him, I have no clue.
