I don't see any reason to bash Flash here. He barely made mistakes. Against a Templar opening there isn't really a lot you can do, especially considering its BelShir which is very straight forward. Drops can only come from one side and attacks at the third base can be deflected quiet good as well.

Maybe people who have no clue about Terran or Protoss or the match up in particular should stop bashing players. State was ahead because the general opening allowed him to be save, get his third base up regardless and Flash couldn't really do shit. Usually if you cannot put down aggression against Protoss and deal no damage whatsoever, it results in Protoss being ahead, if you wasn't greedy to begin with.

Thats why he 'struggled' yet when you saw the fight, even though State fucked up, Flash still won convincingly, when he should not have won like that.

I'd really like to see Terrans use ghosts a bit more flexibly..
In late game i.e. last game flash vs state we see a high number of ghosts (which is nice, not many terrans get ghosts in general) and Terrans have high gas while going bio, so putting that gas into ghosts is the way to go.

Then in an engagement vs Protoss, use the ghosts to land the emp's and snipe high temps best you can...
but then I'd like to see Terrans use those ghosts with left over energy to use mass snipes vs zealots, I know snipe does good vs zealots and why not, imo better than cloaking the ghosts (assuming they have obs) and reducing the amount of zealots would help loads in the engagement... why don't we ever see this?

Because Snipe does less damage than Ghosts' regular attack (vs Light targets) since the nerf; not to mention you wouldn't necessarily have spare apm to do that anyway.
