Funny how none of them play Terran or can appreciate his Builds/Game Knowledge. With that said I think he should incorporate more Hellion/Banshee ala Cure. He already has showed some taste for Cure's Builds with his 5 rax cc first game aggression against Trap in Katowice. | ||

He came dangerously close to that in game 2 and did it in games 3 and 4. | ||

Certainly the case, Granted it was cross spawn Deadwing against Zerg. The current meta is heavily favored for Zerg against Terran in macro games (Deadwing, Vaani, Overgrowth, Expedition lost, etc). It's no surprising that the best Terrans right now are aggressive players like Maru/Innovation/Cure. I think there are some cool flash things has introduced against zerg like the 4 mine macro game medivac harass. Even cure tried to do it against Pet a week ago in Proleague. | ||

The thing is, it seems like once Flash reaches a certain point in a macro game, he's in his comfort zone and really difficult to beat, like in g2 against Leenock or in SPL against ByuL. He has to work on getting there more safely and add in some more pressure plays. He plays a bit too passive until he's confident to move out I feel. And then when he went for the hellbats he did nothing with them even though they could have won them the game had he killed the hatch. | ||

It's easy on the surface to criticize someone who is just losing (sometimes in an embarrassing fashion), but it's much more to look at his play objectively and understand at a deeper level what he is trying to do, and the strengths and weakness of what goes into his style. I don't mean to hate too much on the casters but it really drives me crazy sometimes. I really do like all of the casters in Korea, but they are far from perfect. | ||

You have to think about the fact that the times he got to the late game, no one abused him for his greedy openings either. He isn't going to look that strong if he plays normal. | ||

Not really, flash's greedy style of play reflects his philosophical belief in the strength of timing attacks and his confidence in defending early aggression. In the TvZ matchup in HOTS where Zerg is far more cost efficient in the late game, gains map control with mutalisks, holds in the death nail with 3/3/ and ultralisks, Macro bio is VERY hard to play as a Terran. Banelings are far and away the most cost-efficient unit in the game and are much easier to use than Widow Mines, particularly in macro games. Really a Terran should be more confident in the early game. Flash's style reflects his belief in the right way to play the game and the unbreakable confidence he has in executing his builds. | ||

And I did say he needs to work on getting there more safely and do more pressure, so I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me here :S. | ||
