The usual: Don't flame casters or players. Don't discuss balance in this or any LR thread. Don't call your fellow posters idiots. Be excited, happy and entertained. |

Flash vs Bogus, particularly game 3

Great finals, however i am not at all impressed with Flash's TvZ, his micro and drop play looked subpar compared to some of the other Terran's such as Bogus. Widow mines looked to have kept him in the game far longer than he should have or did they hinder him?
Life is superb mind you, and puts to shame other Zergs in the tournament with his skill, awareness, micro and decision making.
Superb tournament by MLG with the surprise package of TotalBiscuit \Incontrol due being fun to listen too. Hope to see more of those two in the future

Is there any replays of this tournament at all? Ive been looking everywhere! THANKS!
|
Awesome MLG, Flash is improving fast! Really wanted to him to win it all :/ But you dont feel bad loosing vs the best player we have atm. And thank god it wasnt another Zerg champion that used Bl/infestor till win. Grats to Life!

+1000
I'd pay for them, click all over the sponsors, go to their website two times / day or whatever it takes, but release replays plsss

Life still hasn't lost a bo5+ in an offline event.. Just insane!

MLG doesn't release replays. I think IEM is the only major tournament that does. It's sad but understandable, players don't like it, and the tournament doesn't make any money from them.

Didn't find any replays there, they're probably just vods witch sadly are not even close to satisfying
I get why they prefer that system over replays (as I wrote in the original post) but maybe some middleground could be found so replays can still be released.

Life first just felt a lot more solid and had Flash's number, but Flash's VMs for whichever reason rarely paid for themselves and seemed to give him a lot of false sense of security where he was baiting units into them, only to have them blow up a few lings into Flash loosing ~15 supply.
To my recollection there were 4 detonation that paid for themselves, 1 in the game where Flash had basically won already with a drop in the main. Then 3 mines killed a few mutas when life flew directly over them in Daybreak game. It never gave Flash the edge he was hoping for with them, those devastating hits into flash killing a hatch or something like that never happened.

Or give replay to subscribers / people who paid for the tournament ?
Problem of course that then noone couldd stop them from uploading them elsewhere.

These games don't worth to be named as "games played by Flash". I don't understand finals. There were so many great games and finals were so.... uninteresting and resembled games in a "Bronze" ladder league. Poor Flash, how could you loose games played after same strategy: 3 hatcheries, mass lings to banelings with mutas. None terran will defense against 40+ lings + banelings at early game w/o tanks with only bio. None terran will win such zerg with only widow mines when there're so much brood lords and corruptors... ultralisks.... I still don't believe it was Flash who played these games against Life.
I read this in White-Ra's voice.

Maybe they can talk with the 4-5 main replay-sharing sites and ask them to not put MLG replays up. That would definitely mean most of the hits still go to their page.
Or at least make them available after they milked 90% of the hits from VoDs.

I'm actually curious as to who is gonna dethrone this monster! He was already dethroned in GSL. There will be fewer zergs to touch him now though. I can't wait to see if he can dominate like I know he can. there will be more terrans i guess. Flash's tvz seemed not as outstanding as his other mu, he dropped a pretty straight game to Bly (although using mech just to experiment a bit) and he's only been training for a couple of weeks after his Code A wol matches. Even Last managed to play overall closer series, and i was super hyped to see Bogus v Life which i believe would be much tougher for latter than even facing Flash.

Yes flash was kind of disappointing. But perhaps it is excusable, I mean MMM with widow mines seems to be the be-all end-all of his TvZ strategy, which may kind of hint at limited time to practice.
