And the way he played he didn't punish Parting at all, puting down a faster third or faster medivacs (his starport finshed after the 3rax timing was deflected, which is quite late) at least puts him in a better spot. It's better than what he did.
It is greedy -.-...

Yet, if protoss gets a small lead with blink stalkers, they just keep warping in and wins... *faster tech than flash had with what he did (delayed Starport, not upgradeheavy, late Ghosts)
I am not saying what Flash did was good in the current meta, yeah, it was a bad trade.
But don't you see a problem when a race can do a proxy build that fails, still go fast tech AND defend aggression? Plus fast third is not that easy to take with oracle still on the field.

a) greedy is defined by answering the question "what you can get away with". Since Protoss can get away with it as seen in this game, it is not greedy.
b1) Templartech is not more expensive or less costefficient than Colossustech in HotS. So neither of those two is greedier than the other.
b2) Protoss needs Templar or Colossi fast against Terran.

When I saw the lineups, I even expected terran dominance. I mean, those are without doubt the 3 best Terrans of all Teams in Pro League while for Zerg and Protoss you can argue at least about some players being the best of their race. (For Protoss Creator is clearly not) And the PL mappool isn´t that bad for terran either. So a 2-6 overall is really kinda shocking. Especially the game between Parting and Flash, I don´t get how you can lose after a BO advantage like that. xX

Zerg should have this one in the bag, Creator drags down the protoss team too much.
If all else fails Soulkey will take 3 wins.

flash had a lead regardless of his aggression getting stopped (though it could have been bigger imo). His downfall was the drop in the main that did not get the nexus. That's were he lost his lead (and more than that).
Had he killed probes and run out, he would have increased his lead. Just camping the third while getting his third+ghosts would have probably been a good way to play it out as well.
Imo, TvP has quite some problems. But that game did not showcase any of them.

And we are saying that Protoss can get away with too much... Imagine if orbitals also function as planetariums and Terrans can go 3 CC before rax. You could argue that Terrans aren't greedy because they can get away with it. Doesn't mean it is balanced.

So does this confirm Terran as the worst race? Or will we and especially Blizzard's game designers be able to find some new excuses?
