Life is REALLY good because he knows what times to attack, expand, and defend. But someone like Flash who has been known to simply macro better than anyone- throws that off. Things come earlier, or if they come later they come with way more than your whole system is setup to deal with.
That is why macro is #1... players like Life exploit certain thresholds in the game- when to drone when to strike- and Flash macros so well it throws all of that off. You read too much into games that were decided by Life throwing a shit ton of infestors at the worst times.
Flash is very good, and he certainly didn't waste the opportunity to punish life for his mistakes, but that's pretty much it for those games...

Guys. Stop for a second and please comprehend that FLASH is where he is in the bracket. It's just mindbogglingly that he is that good.

Donating 10 infestors is one of the worst possible way imaginable to throw away a game. Throwing a game without making it so conspicuous is not that difficult.
If Life wanted to throw the game, he could have done it. But he would not have donated 10 infestors.

I think its to guarantee no extended series grand finals?

Does MLG still release replay packs btw?

It really is too bad life didn't 10pool. He showed no fear or remorse about 10pooling against taeja, mkp, or mvp, and often won games even against 1 rax openings.
too much respect for flash to 10pool his 14cc?

He has impeccable marine control and small-group movement and he can engage in an unbelievable number of different attacks at once. His biggest weaknesses IMO are that he does not deny scouting or cloak well, particularly when it comes to observers, and that he's late on his tech switches, both of which perhaps are due to his reliance on his god-like response times.
The latter issues should resolve themselves with experience.

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 ). Also, the BW veterans would know that almost everyone playing against flash looked 2 levels bellow his skill. His playstyle just makes the other player looking bad and his game full of mistakes.

They don't do that during the Superbowl or the Stanley Cup, why do it during MLG? Everyone wants to be funny but they just sound like a tool
I literally muted the stream for a bit because it was so bad. From the terrible dramatic music in the back ground during the player intros to the nonstop puns. It's hard to tell my friends "Hey watch this sick SC2 event!" and then have them question why the casters are talking like they're autistic.
Sad day.

Flash takes his 4th stupidly late while reducing his attack surface and just lets life kill himself trying to break it, having a strong position at his 3rd (which he's taking really early btw). At the same time he takes his 4th in a position that puts him closer to his opponents 3rd and 4th. This works perfectly vs life but might i'm not sure how it fares vs more passive players that get broods earlier and just push into you right away.

What he said we already knew.. Also only reason people is somewhat excited is cause of flash.. Who. lets face it, got 2 games thrown at him. The analysator failed to see that? the commentators etc etc.. should really sop trying to present the game in a way that is not.. Like TB saying "how on earth did flash do that.. only flash can".. and all viewers knew it was the donation of infestors. just PLEASE stop putting make up on the games. WE ARE NOT RETARDS? dont fucking lie when u commentate and analyst and filming
Chill out. There was plenty of excitement. The analyst guy (Axslav) has to do it because it's sponsored by NOS, there wasn't really much else for him to say, not to mention the fact that not all of us saw that game so it was cool to get a recap of what led to the win in the previous game.
