the margin of victory in the ace match was truely razor-thin. losing one of the PFs instead of having them survive with <100hp or sucking up that last fungal on the viking clump could have meant game. i also like flash's entertaining, aggressive style of mech. too bad his tvp still sucks... one thing we must admit though is that flash was massively benefitting from the maps in both games. im sure that style of mech wont work on all maps. but maybe he can mech it happen everywhere over time... | ||

Instantly buffing mech instead of waiting for the meta game to develop just saw zerg's lategame air being basically useless vs. 3/3. This is not a balance whine, I'm pretty sure DRG made too many mistakes/Flash played really stellar, but a huge complain about David Kim. User was warned for this post oh wow | ||

Before the widowmine nerf he was one of one people who had beaten innovation in straight up macro games without some massive melt down happening in innovation. Who gives a shit about the stats of a drg that was playing like dogshit until a few months ago? W/e, he does himself no favors when he goes out and 6pools a terran etc. | ||

You think it's possible to play a bo3 vs innovation with three incredible games and not have good zvt? "Maybe he just fluked it for 90 minutes," yeah right. | ||

Your logic 'he 6pooled maru' doesn't mean shit mate - if he thinks Maru thinks he is good at ZvT, Maru might try and get an eco advantage by 15cc builds. DRG banked on the fact he would do that and went for an early rush to counter it - unfortunately it didn't pay off. Like it or not, basically all pro players have to cheese occassionally to keep a credible threat and unpredictability in their play. If you *know* a player will never cheese you, you can abuse that fact by either cheesing them, or getting an eco lead every game. | ||

I just think it is funny that pretty much everytime someone doubts drg's zvt, the only reason people seem to think he is that good is ONE match vs innovation. Maybe i am dead wrong, but i at least don't value someone cause of one match, and a lot of people did ("drg is back!!!") | ||

Yeah I'm sure it is, but I got fed up of watching the same game over and over again about a year ago. Only having one style being viable was killing the game despite how entertaining you thought it was. It was always deathball vs deathball it's just with bio it looks smaller despite being just as bad. Flash's mech today was some of the most entertaining games I've seen in SC2 in over a year and I've pretty much stopped watching SC2 now apart from his and Fantasy's games for the reasons I listed above. After playing nothing but mech since WoL's release up until about 6 months ago I quit playing just before the tank buff and I can safely say I'm very glad it made a difference. It's nice seeing that a small amount of tanks can actually hold a base long enough for reinforcements to get there as that's a massive thing that was missing from SC2 when I was playing, tanks were so bad that you had to bunch everything in one big group and hope you didn't die. Seeing defenders advantage is very promising. | ||
