Making himself known more in the west. I don't know how people can keep missing the point that it was purely political. MLG has a partnership with them whereas GOM and KeSPA have been bunting heads since day 1. It was never about the money. The prize money acts as a bonus if he did get far. | ||

Life is 16 old who watched on TV Flash kicking ass.Life doesn't have alot of tournament xp and playing vs some of his heros I bet he was nervous alot. And also you have to consider the way to beat infestors is to force miss fungals or have alot of medivacs. Both of those happen also Life counter attacks where shit they did like 0 dmg till the last one which lifted the 3rd base. Every time Flash was on the RIGHT place WITH THE RIGHT SIEGE all the time and Life traded zerglings,banes,festor energy for few marines 2-3 tanks. If you watch the game again you will see how Flash charges down the mid to pressure the 4th base because he knows : 1. Infestors don't have energy 2. All zerglings died and new ones are still hatching. Perfect decision making, perfect sieges,perfect moves - Flash. Thats why he won the game not because somebody gave it to him ( the 2nd game i mean ). I think another thing to neglect is that Flash's macro was insane. Life would fungal and kill half his army and Flash would come roaring back with another supply lead push -- combined with his management of Life's fringe expansions. Even if he only had 8 marines and a tank left he'd still push and wait for reinforcements. It could have been played better by Life, but that was just solid, classic pushing by Flash. | ||

Every fungal that was landed(energy efficient or not), came at the cost of a tank shelling on a fungal or two. His tanks were just borderline perfect placed. So many terrans neglect the tanks, it is so nice to see someone use them to 100% of their potential. Obviously everything else he does is insane, but it is nice to see him using tanks properly! You should've seen his awful tank control in the MvP matchup against Soo... so glad he fixed that. | ||

Wouldn't it have made more sense, if it was reversed: So they wouldn't meet till the Finals, instead of JUST THE NEXT GAME..? because then the finals would suck, and everyone would complain even more. | ||
