So much salt on LR you would think Toronto turned into Goderich, Ontario which has the largest salt mine in the world.

Dunno why the fan boys are bitching. Flash played sloppy and MC played smart.


Cause everybody likes to pretend MC is a super genius when really the people innovating in PvX match ups are genius / pigbaby / sOs etc.

IEM Toronto

FINALLY a Foreigner trophy?

top 4 foreigner finish at IEM Shenzhen is not enough

Foreigners defend tha Canada, and WIN IT ALL this time!

If Scarlett beats Flash despite all the hype he has and makes a championship run I think I can walk the rest of my life a happy man.

Welcome to LRs, is this your first time?

I'm still relatively new here, but even I recognize the stupidity of many of these statements. People either don't understand how good MC is or either just don't care (i.e. they're stupid).

I'm a huge Flash fan, but how was MC supposed to play? Flash has been murdering Protoss all month, he pulled out the unexpected and won with it. Give him credit, he's won a great deal of money playing this game.

If you read between the lines, that's exactly what everybody's been saying.

Start by traveling 16 straight hours, than try to play some starcraft games before opening your mouth.
foreign koreans are by far much worse than koreans.

Pretty sure MC doesn't live in Toronto either.


2-3 hour jet lag = 11-12 hour jetlag?

No idea where MC lives but if its europe than there's no real difference.


You clearly don't know how terrible 11-12 hour jetlag actually can be.


If they have to play within that period then maybe whine at the team in question instead of conjuring nonsense excuses?

That was just.... I wonder why cant we speak about balance problems?

Cause MC outplayed Flash the entire series


Blind guessed in game 3, lost to a gamble in game 2, how is this out played?


One guy spent his week studying and making a battle plan to take out his opponent. The other guy played as normal.

The implication that MC planned almost any of that is hilarious. I know you've watched MC before and we both know that is exactly how he always plays. Literally always. Ever since GSL season 3. Seriously.


He just said he did. Why would he lie about it?

If you consider MLG's sort-of invitational a tournament (back when KeSPA just transitioned) then yes.

I just happened to tune in right in the middle of game 1 of Flash vs MC - From everything i've seen this year, match of the year so far. Game 3 was just awesome to watch, game 1 had amazing micro from Flash (i wonder if anyone noticed, the casters didn't seem to).... Just fun from start to finish.
If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

No Premier. He won the bw invitational thing (with Bisu and co playing), but that was, when kespa didn't really had figured out the game yet.

I think the only thing he's one is that exhibition tournament of all BW pros when they first switched

How come Flash is so bad at playing against cheese? It's like he's completely clueless as to what is happening...?

And how would you scout what MC did?

What if flash scouted out the location of the proxy stargate, and attack that instead of going to MC's main? That would require a smaller commitment of units and thus able to leave behind more marines in defense against void rays or more oracles.

Flash would then have a smaller lead compared to killing probes at the nexus, but that's better than risking being killed by voidray backstab.

But given the fact that MC killed quite a few probes with dual oracles, maybe Flash would not be ahead without killing probes. Your thoughts?


Yeah, just guess where the fuck on the map the Stargate is. And a small force wouldn't be enough against 2 oracles and whatever comes out of the Starport next.

User was warned for this post


You must have missed when MC out macroed Flash with better deciosns and micro in g1.

the game where flash got 50 supply ahead through macro alone?


Macro isnt just about making units. Its about making the right unit compositions, right tech and right economic decisions.


Well i wouldn't call that outplayed in macro. Flash could have won that game if he hadn't overcommit so much. MC capitalized through every mistake flash made.

He did not miss a single mistake to get.

that's really impressive for MC.


Yea, MC was just smarter than Flash


The experience talked a lot in that game. You could see Flash didn't know how MC could be back like that. That was really impressive from MC

Was just stating the reality of the situation playing global tournaments, how is that nonsense? Homefield advantages are a real thing in any sport.
