thanks to those who responded to my much earlier question about Flash and if he is out of IEM 
My thoughts/hopes:
- Life will beat Zest but not sure how his PvZ is against HerO, hope he makes it though. -
- sOs advancing would be great. His PvZ though. No clue how it is lol
- Flash beats DRG and then HyuN, who knows those. TvZ doesn't seem like his specialty :/
- San takes the last group
|
I love terran and it really hurts to see mech always getting crushed, but game 2 of Flash vs Curious was definitely really entertaining, enjoyed it a lot. Maybe its because I'm not a flash fan and think he's really overhyped, but I dunno. I read the 30+ pages of whine and expected to be horrified, but it was a really cool game with lots of action and both played well. The first 10 minutes of super weirdness also made it interesting :D I dunno, just a good break from the bio/mine parades.

When Naniwa loses, viewership drops by 50%

calling a life san finals. with life winning without having to play a zvz.
If you're a life fan you better hope he's NOT playing against San in the finals. Because Sans PvZ ist out of this world. He knows at least 15 different 2 base timings tha are all so sharp it'll blow your mind, and he's also incredible at the later stages....

thoughts :
- life gonna drop hammer on zest then proceed to lose on HerO
- sos wins to revival but loses to curious
- if flash beats Drg then he can beat Hyun ... though i seriously doubt flash could do that .. flashes tvz sucks nowadays .. no longer the closest to innovations tvz
- San takes the last group no doubt
wishes :
-Zest wins .. dont know why
- sOs wins .. so that we dont see a zvz quarter finals
- FlaSh wins ! show the world he is still the ultimate weapon .. not a dismantled one
- San takes this .. seriously i want to see why Taeja is hyping him ..

DRG or Flash... a fan favourite will go  Rooting for Flash I think, simply because it would be rather sad to see him losing already. And he's a Terran, there's gotta be some Terrans to advance!

Well, about just as expected it went from when i went to sleep. Ro4 is HerO, sOs/Curious, HyuN and San with finals of HerO vs San probably.

Nice one. I don't understand what was controversial about the Flash game. Flash did not play well and Curious played brilliantly. Plus it was an excellent game, I haven't seen such a good game in months.

I agree
His positionning was brillant
But, why the fuck didnt he use the longrange mode of thors, why the fuck didnt he build vikings as soon as he scouted the 6 vipers ??!

bummer Flash lost to Curious, at least the games were good. regardless of the result, at least Flash consistently brings really entertaining matches (I also notice this from Polt)
also bummed for TLO he seems to have really been improving, hope he keeps it up.
San will probably win this tournament.

Yes but viewership drops by maybe 10 or max 20%. Not 50.

Flash may return to roots and just 11-11 him 3 times.

It was only entertaining becasue Flash played exactly the way you shuoldn't play vs Vipers (aggressively). Vs Vipers (and Swarm hosts) you just need to turtle to uber Viking + Raven count. Its so badly designed that it blows my mind how Blizzard ever implemented stuff like Vipers/Swarm hosts in Sc2.
David Kim is correct that mech is lame (when played optimally) in Sc2 and bio is more fun to watch. But what he doesn't understand is that the only reason mech is lame in Sc2 (when played optimally) is because blizzard made it this way. What if mech instead was designed in such a way that aggression was rewarded ...... Wouldn't that be awesome?
