Completely incorrect, BW has more viable and varied strategies than SC2 does
look at BW terran strategies
2 port wraith SK terran 6 rax mech biomech valkonic fast vessel

And under that i mean not as part of all-in or clever timing. BW strategies looked more similar--"mech" wasn't like this broad strategy. The order and composition mattered a lot more. Also, if you take out all-ins and timings, I'd say it hurts SC2 more--BW had it's fair share of cheese but people do way more timing attacks and ridiculous strategies in SC2.

why do ppl even respond to guys with a ktlogo after flash lost a game, its pretty pointless

Yeah, right, in fact outside of clever timings and all-ins TvP and TvT was all mech play with different focus there. TvZ had a variance but in macro play it was essentially bio + vessels with optional addition of stuff or straight mech AFAIK.

sick games omygod, marus micro so good in the end vs flash, deserved to advance, and i think flash games are all about macro and maru all about micro, so maru games are way more entertaining to watch than flashs

His play was overall fine today, don't see how you can make such a statement; it was shakier against Maru, and he was off in his first game against PartinG, but otherwise it was fine. Plus you can hardly look brilliant when one single decision or mistake makes you drawing dead for 10 minuts afterwards anyway. Saying he didn't use his mechanics against LosirA is preposterous, didn't you see how fast he maxed in game 1 or how crisp is micro was in his Medivac push game 3?

Microing Hellions on creep against Speedlings is hard—your point?

Completely incorrect, BW has more viable and varied strategies than SC2 does look at BW terran strategies 2 port wraith SK terran 6 rax mech biomech valkonic fast vessel And how many of those worked in TvT and TvP :3? And under that i mean not as part of all-in or clever timing.
at least 5 of these were relevant throughout BW's lifespan with some modifications (eg. instead of 2 port, just wraith-based play)
unless of course you classify them as "clever timings" - how dare people play smart in starcraft!

Flash games (lately) are all about throwing away advantages you mean. He threw three games in a row there (still won one, but shouldn't have). Pretty painful to see....
