I always feared him facing Maru for sure. I don't think any sane person wants to play Maru TvT after what he's been pulling off this year. but Flash losing game 3 against Parting was the worst for him... he was a base up for most that game and in fantastic position but got terribly outmaneuvered when deciding to base race. that's the game that hurt him most, bit of a shame. | ||

With the gas 15 expand, you can inflict heavy damage or even outright kill a 2 rax reapers → triple OC with a Marines/Hellions elevator, especially as he needed time to float back those rax. Flash probably didn't want to take any risk as the defence is very tight, but as a result he chose something which ended up being overly safe for defence, and not enough for offence. /: Thats a fair point. Still there are so many openings for reapers on that map, and Marus micro is insane (plus flash fell behind on marines by starting a reactor only to cancel it when he spotted the proxies. All in all I still think Flash would have won if it wasn´t for that totally crazy tank - reaper defense. | ||

I'm fairly new to TL/SC and yet you people are easily the most insufferable posters. Look in the mirror yourself You find me annoying fine, but at least I've done something for this community other than bitching about sc2 being dead and flash losing in LR threads. | ||

That he was even able to have a tank with siege covering himself in that situation, seems so incorrect to game sense. His opening was aggressive, it was greedy, yet somehow he also had tech to save himself. Maybe an unintended consequence of some of the HotS balance tweaks. SC2 has a lot of things like that which make zero sense conceptually, and the risk/reward ratio for certain things is completely stupid; but well, Flash could have avoided this unfortunate situation. | ||

A CMON, Flash fell out of the RO16 once again after coming SO CLOSE. Isn't it understandable that people are worked up? I've been a flash fan for years now and though I miss his dominance in bw, I see a lot of potential and promise in his sc2 game. Call me delusional but I still believe he will rise to his dominant spot once again. | ||

How can you throw that ? Flash's biggest problem is not the opponent player, its the game. It's always Flash vs SC2. He needs to regain that killer instinct, that you really want to crush your enemy, not just to survive in the game and hopefully win in the end. Maru showed us that instinct in every attack he executed. | ||

Why not just ignore those fans and save your hate for elsewhere? A CMON, Flash fell out of the RO16 once again after coming SO CLOSE. Isn't it understandable that people are worked up? I've been a flash fan for years now and though I miss his dominance in bw, I see a lot of potential and promise in his sc2 game. Call me delusional but I still believe he will rise to his dominant spot once again. We do not hate on flash. I for one, would rather him watch the game he likes, and not the game he plays for fans (well, maybe) and money. Especially since there is a good chance that after total salary cut he may actually make more money from streaming BW on afreeca. | ||

Isn't it the worst position ever to face a 1 base tank marine all in? Obviously not, because HotS has instant Siege Tanks, so your first Tank stops dead or considerably slows his progress, allowing your extra OCs to pay off. Flash would have needed extra air (another Medivac or a Banshee), or pulling SCVs, to win right away. | ||

Well that's downright dumb. Sure being around for 2 years with 35k posts total is a huge impact, but have some respect for someone who followed bw and loved flash for years literally. Thank you. | ||
