It's called the raven
Terran players don't use them so they can complain about not having spellcasters
yeah we have quiet good spellcasters and everything else. But it doesn't fit into fast Bio, unimportant what you use your expensive spellcaster will die, since you are forced to kite as Terran and the Spellcasters are just to slow (except Widow Mine that is more of a spellcaster to me). Though we might see some Ghosts with pickup retreats at some point. But Ravens are to slow to work with Bio. Mech only works in TvT. Sky Terran is late lategame and haven't seen that stage in HotS so far.
World looks grim if you want something else then Bio in pro games.
have to admit takes a lot for a player to go from getting absolutely smashed in game 1 and 2 and then winning a very grind out g3 and then putting flash on the brink of an ace match. He showed tremendous heart. Unfortunately he lacked the finishing blow. With Viper and infestors I think TvZ will get super fun again although terran still dont have any new units to work with.
What flash showed in g4 is something more people dont which is the will of a champion. Most players would have faltered losing key battle after key battle by the skin of his teeth but he kept his cool, remained persistent even when he was quite behind and slowly but surely reclaim his lead and secure the win.

Uhh.... What do you mean?
If you re-watch, no bow when the shake hands at the beginning... and Koreans are very cognitive of that. Believe me.
then the question was, how did you feel in game 3 vs game 1 and 2... and Flash responds with "I will practice hard and win". Not one comment about the the awesome games. What a prick.
There was clearly something lost in translation. Stop being ridiculous.
Not one comment on the match he just played. ??
No you.
He clearly didn't understand the question, as was pointed out by others in the thread who speak Korean. When has Flash EVER been disrespectful in an interview before?
I almost wonder if the interview would be more effective if they just did it all in Korean and then the translator could relay what he said. Like a sideline report or something. Having to get the short blurb on stage never seems to go smoothly.

Do you know what 'lost in translation' mean?
Who would have thought the term lost in translation would have been lost in translation...

Translator said: "What is your thought on first and second game .... and the third game... " is a terrible translation... yes... no way he could have deciphered that.
They dont talk about the awesome games because they play 50 a day for years its just another game to them. He just plays to win and whether its close or not does not really matter since they have tons of close long games. Its just like a pro basketball player after playing for 25 years its just another game to him even if you get all excited about watching it because its close or whatever.

Oh come off it, Ret is significantly better than Bly. It'll be tough vs. Flash, but definitely a most watchable game.

indeed, nothing else really to say here.
great showing by bly, i'm positive that if he had gotten out some vipers sooner and managed to hold his 4th base he could have easily taken game 4 and gone to a 5th. great way to end the first day, 2nd day should prove to be even more exciting.

so "what did you think of that match?" "both players played hard" "was there something specific you had in mind going into g4?" "player x is a tremendous player so I just played hard. both players played hard" "how did you feel about the first game?" "both players played hard" "Is there anything you want to say to the fans?" "God bless and good night. Thank you for the support"
+1 if anyone knows where this reference comes from
Flash seriously didn't look all that impressive in these games. I wouldn't be surprised at all if someone like Stephano or Scarlet would win ZvT against him, or even Ret. Even though Flash is awesome and all he really wasn't at the level of top korean terrans at least in that series.

yep.. Flash is as modest and mannered as they come for a player of his calibre

That's arguable. In HotS Ret might be better now although we have seen only like 4 matches out of both but in the past 7 or 8 months Bly has definitely been far better than Ret.

I have to agree, comparing this to watching Mvp dismantle Zergs at IEM with 3 drops at once it wasn't that great.
