I was talking more about composition, not tactics. Yes we saw a lot off parade pushes, but with no WM and definitely no tanks.

Most people are still going widow mines though. I kinda like this option though, not sure how good it is if you don't have a huge lead like he did, but with mass mass mutas being so incredibly strong vs bio, maybe the +2 thors would be a lot better, than having mines with a thor or so with the armour upgrades.

Shorter breaks than the English casters expected. Pretty funny.

On one hand you have how an amateur observed that game on the other a progamer.

With your level of play (meaning you're better than all of us combined so i feel you may understand this) how would you explain FlaSh's build. It was really weird i felt. What was weird?

By recent Blizzard logic, if they want to encourage an unit being made, they need to buff movement speed. So lets see if we see 3.0 movement speed tanks :D

his play was good. that response to mass roach is new. atleast for me i never seen it before. it was really good in this case as we coulda see but i feel if zerg decided to go roach hydra. it wouldnt had been so good. but no korean zerg rly goes roach hydra it isnt very good. so this response was perfect to 1-1 roach into muta

I liked Flash's composition better it was way more solid . Marine/Medivac/Mine with the mine nerfed you have to get lucky with mine hits for it to be more effective . Not that it mattered in this game .

Scout roaches, build marauders and cut mines. proceed to do whatever you want to with a 40supply and 2-3upgrade lead.

It's nice to see some korean terran play. I used to hate Korean terrans during the 1/1/1 - 2rax era but the mechanically extremely challenging way they play these days is really impressive to watch
In other words I LOVE KOREAN TERRANS

Fair point, we'll have to wait and see if hellbat thor becomes a thing to replace WM.

There's a Korean stream (and a Youtube stream), but most Koreans watch it on SpoTV I think

When I said parade push I meant WMMMM. I think it can't be separated from the strategy as the WMs allow you to hold large amounts of terrain. I'm no Terran expert which is why I ask questions all the time, but I am pretty sure that TvZ seems like it has a lot of the same parade pushes after the WM nerf as before it.

Flash is known to go Hellbat Marauder, and it felt like he was basically going into that (with enough marines to stop mutas of course)

Koreans watch it on SpotTV. They broadcast to more than 8 million households, yes TV, no internet stream.
