I called it... now let me dig up my prophetic (super obvious prediction) post from earlier in this thread.

The important question is though, what does Wolf think of Flash's hair?

It's fucking annoying dying to surprise BCs when you feel like you have complete control of the game vs a bio Terran when meching.
And then you push out with maxed mech and run home from 2 BCs hahaahah
To be fair he should've known something was really off, bio player not aggressively expanding or dropping or making more than 2 medivacs?

He made 2 Battlecruisers and then pushed with Marauders. The whole purpose of the Battlecrusiers was JUST to get the Siege Tanks to reposition and then he charges in with Marauders which you can't deal with Mech without Siege Tanks in Siege Mode. Marauders absolutely decimate Thors and Hellions.
The only way to counter that is to have out early pre-emptive Vikings. It's so hard to try and recover from that if you have a late starport.
It's like a less lame version of Broodlords :D

Not sure about that lol. ESF players have also showed more amazing game than that.

It's been done before lol, it's a smart strategy sure, but it's not really that innovative. When you're the bio player you NEED air control, it's just common sense...

Baby should always be consistently producing vikings if he's meching though :/

God damnit, can't watch the final game. I got a bad feeling though, better not be right about it.
Flash fighting!

He would have probably built more BC's if he didn't get scouted lol, he just went with the window he had left and Baby lost too much of his army in the middle of the map to be able to hang on.
Fast air terran off of bio is not exactly new as a strategy, it's just most mech players build vikings too so it rarely wins outright =p

I indeed realised it. It was indeed brilliant to think of it as a reaction to game 1.

It's been done before in the late game but I've never seen anyone go straight into BCs after taking a third. That was really early.
Even if it doesn't work and you force out a ton of Vikings, you've severely limited what the Mech player is going to have on the ground which allows you to aggressively expand behind the initial push.
