The secret is to not throw your whole army away like he did when you are in perfect position

He completely outplayed Innovation for like 25 minutes of the game and then made a massive mistake.

Still Innovation made a few smart decisions that I respect

he thought he could finish the game considering superior army and he had a pretty nice bank. pretty wasteful especially throwing away all those ravens but inno played it pretty smart. took extra expansions and pretty much played it how a bio player would play against mech. lots of harass with the hellions as well.

PvZ is bs atm, but I'd still go with Classic even if this was pre-patch

Life just doesn't bring his full power in SPL

Having 4 spare cc's and doing nothing with them lost him the game in the long run.

Mainly because he lost lots of shit for nothing. Also because INnoVation was on half a map when Flash was on 5 bases.

I would vote against team league Life. He's typically worse than individual league Life

individual league life lost vs myungsik, so team league life would lose vs gungfubanda?
Damn classic Has this

He was way ahead because he made the air transition much faster than Inno, but threw away his army when he thought he could win the game (you might say he was overzealous).

Innovation made a few nice decisions aswell: once he realized he couldn't kill Flash's air army he double expanded immediately and baited out raven energy so he could break Flash's siege line and run a bunch of hellions in to kill flash's economy, essentially making flash's air army less valuable, and negating the army composition advantage flash had.

Well multiple things spiralling out of control such as;
Had command centres not doing anything
Had vikings in the air when it was a ground war
Was fighting low ground vs high ground a few times
Was engaging when he should not have

On top of that i generally think he got out multi tasked aka not having bases mining or shutting down Innovations expansions. He looked ahead at many points to me (Flash) yet he still managed to lose so hard towards the end. Oh well

When Bogus turned the game into a reckless basetrade Flash started to lose control imo

Both. Innovation was smart too to force flash to engage in ground battle.
