Why was Flash limping? He just destroyed Hyvaa.
I think he recently had a leg injury or something. There is a pic of his cast floating on Reddit.
Anyways, that game was way too close for comfort. Although Flash was strong as usual, Hyvaa had some good moments too. I have doubts that KT can win today.

Well I guess Flash can't tense his feet and legs for better control in his upper body. His eyes and reaction times are impressive, but it seems Starcraft 2 micro even escapes the best macro player for Terran.

Can't stop drops, can't deny bases. i'd say its more of flash being flash and hyvaa bad macro, he was supply blocked at crucial moments imo when flash was pushing out with marine mine. he had enough to defend but delayed on counter because of it Of course Flash had better macro, but the muta death really allowed Flash to take those northern bases, while hyvaa retook that north base soooo late in the game. Flash was consistent all game while hyvaa just couldn't sustain his level of play.
Flash was just being Macro Flash most of the game. Hyvaa really just never did an actual damage and was always trading inefficiently with Flash. Though Flash really played the Widow Mine part of the game a little too much like with Tanks. Hyvaa's tech was open to be killed at almost any point from the mid-game on, which was weird.

Everything going as I predicted. Stats will win next but Im worried for myungsik. He did well in the IEM qualifiers but Im not sure if he can handle the pressure.

Hyvaa was in a pretty solid position, traded as efficiently as you can really trade with banelings and mines on either side, and kept flash on 4 bases for a good period of time.

No way myungsik beats Trap. Trap's just playing way too well right now.

Wow STX really taking it to KT... They're looking good..

We'll see if Myungsik is a Stats or a Wooki.

I'm taking you've watched the OSL but not the IEM.

Ahh snap. Trap is the mini boss before the big boss fight.
Lets see if Kt can fight their way there or if Game Over falls over there screen first.
Was so awesome watching Flash dominate hyvaa at the end of the game (just got home now).
Hoping to see Innovation v Flash ace!

I think Flash knew that bio forces were the best choice on that small of a map, and was relentless in proving it.

Crazy game. I don't think it'll get to Innovation vs Flash, sadly.

He was using his mutas wrong at that time too, and you can't just lose 1700 1700 against flash and not lose momentum

It was during that period of the game that I was especially scared for Flash and all of KT. Thank goodness Flash managed to come back from that.
