I think it was deliberate, he had like 18 Vikings to 9 Phoenixes and was retreating from Colossi with his bio. In the end Classic lost every Phoenix and every Colossus.
The fact it was deliberate doesn't obliterate the fact I'm not sure it was a good decision, though no one of us would be really qualified to give advice to Flash. But I'm quite convinced the fight would have been even more one-sided had Flash deftly focused the 5 colossi.

did you see a widow mine in that game?
All i saw was Classic playing like garbage, he looked like a different person playing against Maru.

Flash was always Code S level.
His mechanics and skills might be. His preparation wasn't.

Flash was always Code S level. Everyone has some off days. For example, herO, life and supernova are in code B right now.

I don't think Classic is an average top player that got lucky/on fire during one GSL, but I do think he has difficulties coping with his new status and probably lost some hunger. Those things do come back when you've got it, and I think Classic has got it.

Did you see a lot of mines? Me neither, thanks for taking part in this discussion.

He caught my eye at Cologne as a very good protoss, but he has been less than average ever since his win.
