Imo it's not a mistake because Stats is their best performer (barring Life) in everything right now, just got an all kill yesterday and is incredibly solid. It's easy to say it's a mistake after the match but Flash could've lost to Maru and we would say the same.
You can't judge coaching only by the results and both options weren't optimal but had their merits. The fact that the Stats option failed doesn't mean it was a bad one or that the Flash one would've been better.

Storm was just 10 seconds too late for Stats, but losing those 3 collossus to that ballsy medivac drop was a real killer.
You're forgetting about Sir Polt of Terran. Who was the only Terran who actually came close to winning a tournament in that time. Didnt Maru ro4 in gsl? Yeah, he beat jjakji (who got 6th that season) in ro8. Wrong Ro4 :p
Well I'm still correct :D

This was season 3 2013, just before he moved to Europe. jjakji was playing so god damn well, #1 on ladder and one match away from qualifying for season finals. And yes Downfall, that doom drop Frost game :D ah yeah I thought GumBa was talking about 2014 S1

Maru lost a bo7 against Classic in season 2 and lost to Life in the Ro8 in Code S season 1.

I understand, looking at Stats he seems like the obvious pick. But Maru pick's apart straight up players like Stats and Flash is very strong in TvT, even with his struggle (which is largely against zerg anyway).
I simply think Flash had a higher chance of winning the game

Didnt Taeja have the biggest period of domination during the time that Protoss were dominating(most finals were PvP and PvZ if Taeja wasnt around) and Terran were nowhere to be found... including Maru? Taeja actually started his decline as T got buffed... lol edit: period im talking about was last year
