Every time I mention that Flash's micro and/or multitask ability are nothing special I get bandwagoned but I think games like this really demonstrate that point. I was a Flash fan in BW and I'm a Flash fan now, but it wasn't because of his micro.

They should have sent TY in stead of Stats and Pray. This was just a donated game to Jin Air

TY just wasn't ready for the level of pressure according to Wolf.

you just can't rely on wolf

yeah its ridiculous, if you 2 rax someone in the final of proleague you are ready for that kind of pressure, easy as that


The lineup was fixed and he had time to prepare, very different situation. I agree with others that TY doesn't look that good when he is not given time to prepare.

Just have him prepare as a backup specifically against Maru. Every time. TY, Stats and Life have the best map records against Maru, one of them didn't get to play. Plus TY has winning records against Trap and Cure aswell and one of those probably would have been the 4th pick for Jin Air.

Yeah but I mean when KT is facing Maru it's a matter of basic survival. Sending Zest first was a great call since he got 2 kills on the two best JAGW players behind Maru, then he lost to Maru as expected I guess, and when KT is in this situation it should be a "Kill Maru" mindset. Which means not sending out additional Protosses, who are just basic food for Maru, but playing on Maru's weakest MUs (relatively), TvT and TvZ. Basically it means sending, in order, TY/FlaSh/Life.

i blame KT coaches for horrible game planning and sucking the talent out of all our players.


yeah me too. I usually don't jump in the hate train that fast but this has been happening for a long time now. Even First and Super looked better than now and they're not playing PL.

Didn't he just qualify for something while beating pretty good players?
I don't agree with this notion at all, he may be somewhat inconsistent, but if he is on form he plays extremely well (cause his micro and multitasking are ridiculous)
Flash on the other hand is bad in both (if you compare it to actually good ones like Maru)

It will bring back great memories but neither Dear nor soO are the players they were when they met in the GSL finals. Arguably Dear has fallen far lower.

What I don't understand is why they don't have anyone ready with a snipe build for Maru. Everyone else is more than beatable in standard games for KT.

That splendid wall-in into proxy Stargate build on Vaani was probably the best thing they could come up with.

Stats' original plan was proxy colossus with range but he abandoned it when he realised Maru eats colossi for breakfast.

In all seriousness, Life has been their attempt to snipe Maru twice, he lost both games (although Maru also was his sniper with the mech build on EL). Time for a non-Protoss backup. And TY excels at map-specific snipes.

while that could have worked given a few extra seconds I feel like Stats was the worst player to attempt that. Maru is always on guard against him for hidden nexi and proxy shenanigans after that PL loss last year.

or maybe start overcoaching instead of butting out and letting your players do the job.

Again qualifiers are a different situation than a playoff PL match.

What they should do imo is prepare TY to snipe Maru and play him asap, because it seems he can't handle the pressure of being the 4th man.
