Did Flash make some mistakes (infestors in all of his bases FOREVER)? yes.
Did Bly stay on ground units too long against mech? yes.
They still played extremely well, particularly in game three. Flash's micro (and macro after losing so many SCV's) was incredible and Bly's defense of the reapers along with the defense of the BFH in his main was most impressive. By far the best foreigner vs Korean match-up of this tournament.
it's very hard to catch the infestors once they are in and it's also pretty impossible to spot them moving in, this move has the best low risk - high reward ratio in the game by veeeeeeery far, flash was pretty dead once the whole thing was set up.

Still interesting, never seen a game were someone used mass tanks to get back into the game by throwing down orbital after orbital.

Given the situation, the "gl" from Flash made me laugh.

I'm surprised they don't know that Flash is widely known for not getting rattled.

its not like he was going to stick with that tech forever.. if he got anti air then bly would just stick with ground. it was, and should have been, a hopeless game after the triple base infestors. well played by bly imo Flash went all in on groudn though. he had like 50 tanks in that army. way more than necessary to take down a max zerg ground army. a few starports and few vikings wouldnt have hurt. he could've just gone for Thors to take out the broods, if bly goes roaches he already has enough ground defense Except 1) he didn't know about the Broodlords, 2) he can't magically make 10 Thors appear out of thin air.
i know but hypothetically, in anticipation, rather than having to go for lots of vikings that would leave him vulnerable to ground, he could be safe with thor/tank (at least somewhat, i havent tested out thor vs brood)

Yes, that's a great point and I forgot. I LOVE the widow mine placement and the great micro from Bly to avoid the splash damage from them.

He does. You generally don't sit an SCV for 5-6 seconds to pair them.

The most dramatic and entertaining, yes, I agree.
The best, no.

That grin

Flash calls for the pause due to a hardware issue... and here we find out that he lost game three because his keyboard wasn't plugged in.

Nonono seriously. Thors still suck against broodlords.

Continuing the joke from several pages back? As someone who didn't follow BW, I wouldn't be surprised if that was true.

Depends on the definition of "best" you use

Well played but Flash still has the lead in his hand(hidden Swedish joke with English pun).

Flash paused it, admins snoozing on the job or something.
