I don't know anyone who will win a TvZ with turtling and the same goes for TvP. Its constant harrassing and dropping and attacking on multiple points, sniping key tech buildings etc. The insane amounts of high DPS harassing options give terran this ability that protoss simply lacks. In fact so far protoss and zerg were having a hard time dealing with all these variations that terran could throw at them till Blizzard buffed them to a point where zerg is competitive and protoss may be borderline OP. But knowing this information is different from implementing. I am sure Flash knew he had to pressure Effort at some point, but at what ? If he leaves base too early or too late his army gets decimated. If he attacks at wrong points it will give his opponent more time. All these things only come with practice which these players have had very little off. I think a month or two into this we will start seeing more refined plays. Till then I am afraid we will probably see toss winning till some terran figures out how make two raxes before an expansion or discovers the banshee :D. All it all fairly amusing to see  .the thing with timings like that though is that it's so easy to make up a random timing and figure out how it works out just by picking timings at random (at first at least) or based off of a few reads (such as lair/hive/3rd/4th timings) and drops tend to be good at any timing so long as there aren't huge packs of mutas around to snipe the instantly drops force plenty of units without risking huge main gamechanging armies too | ||

Flash just hasn't learned the way of the spoon yet. | ||

The worse game ever must had been the first PvP in yesterdays Proleague when one player went 2 DT rush only to morph the into a archon and then getting killed by a stalker rush. Those 500 gas spent into 5 immortals instead would prolly had won him the game lol. | ||

He missed 1 chronoboost and that tells a lot regarding his mechanics in SC2. Nobody in the GSL would ever make that mistake unless they are playing in full tilt. | ||

Sea and Jaehoon look like lost causes at the moment. Movie and by.hero will need to contribute big time. | ||

Always wondered why sc2 pros waste minerals on pylons that wont be used/killed when warp prism can warp it anywhere you want. A pylon is also for scouting purposes, and a pylon only costs 100minerals en gives you additional supply which a warp prism doesn't. There are multiple reasons why mass pylons is better than mass warp prisms | ||

From this exclusivity with MLG to what one would assume would be no participation in GSL. The BW pros have no top tier SC2 pros to compare notes and test against. They can only go on ladder and see how things work out there sure,but it can be a total crapshoot sometimes. So all they have left is each other to try and learn from. It's like putting a bunch of Bronze players in a room and telling them they must make it to GM. | ||

The problem is, they are really only appealing to fans of both games. That's an ever narrower audience than BW alone, or SC2 alone (in Korea)... they are hoping people will want to watch both games. Usually 1 doesn't mix with the other. I happen to like both :/ | ||

It wasn't going to work so he opted for the archon and a contain. Where the hell was he going to pull 5 immortals from in time to do anything when he didnt even have a robo? That game was actually decent overall, you're just clueless | ||

Because WP takes 200 mins and T2 tech isntead of 100 mins and no tech. plus supply so you can work it into openings. | ||

So it had a very direct purpose. | ||
