MC vs. Flash rematch? If Flash wins the rematch, that would be awful x.x


I wonder if MC has more in the bag than what he's shown vsT

that's a trick question if i have ever seen one.


I was actually waiting for the Flash fans to jump on and say how he'd 2-0 MC. But I guess their faith was shaken.

Little bit sad to see this amount of balance whine in TL :/

Flash tends to play constantly greedy as a standard play which is big weakness in his play and easily exploited by wise player like MC. MC made sure in 2nd game to see how Flash reacts to proxy Stargate play and adjusts last game accordingly to that making sure that Flash skips scanning Protoss base in this situation and having no idea what MC is doing behind proxy SG expecting standard play behind it and even moving out with his army for which MC's build is perfect counter to. If Flash had send his scouting scv straight to MC's natural to see his a bit late nexus timing he would've known its tech before Nexus but even in that situation I think Flash wouldn't have changed his build too much. Flash's play in SC2 has never been really good in tournaments where you dont have long time to prepare for specific match so I'm actually pretty suprised how people expect Flash to do very well in this IEM

Don't be misleaded by the vocal minority. Cool to see you post btw!

Haha I guess i'm just still used to BW days when I didn't really see balance whine at all and more player praise instead, or maybe I just have selective memory ^^


Balance whine is definitely more vocal now than say, five years ago. Cool to see you clear some misconceptions up though!


Its because Blizzard patches things. People get the impression that balance whining can affect patches, which wasn't a feeling you could get in BW.

That's a good point actually

There has never been any balance changes patches in Brood War ?


Not after 2001 I think.

So in order to beat swarm hosts, you need almost 20 medevacs and just squads of marines?


It's no different than bio vs mech in TvT abusing the immobility of tanks.


So maybe that's a possible way to deal with it? Flash seemed to stand right in the face of the swarm hosts and take the locusts head on. Then again, he did have a big upgrade advantage.

Why is Flash getting shit for the way he played? By being in Scarlett's face the entire time and having about 1000 missile turrents at home, he didn't allow her a single option besides defending, while he kept expanding behind it. He had ultimate map control and kept trading well enough to eventually choke her out. The way Flash is playing here, even against MC, is WAY better than his last couple of foreign showings.

Was that Flash's coach behind him talking to him? Or was it just some random tech guy?

That game only looked so close because Flash was trying to force the issue early because he knew he could.

If he didn't have the early advantage he would still be fine to play in a different way I think.

Anyone talking about how Flash brilliantly cornered a huge number of lings and banes at the lower-right corner of the map?
