The thing that I noticed that made me think it was him is that he hotkeyed his fac and port separate from the raxes. From the interview flash said he kept his hotkeys from bw. His eapm was 186 and krice's was 174(with 2.5times flash's redundancy),i 'd say he is pretty fast he just has the lowest spam ratio i have seen.

At a glance it may look like that.
Trust me, I'm a master league terran. The mechanics of Kawaii's opponent is super solid. A lot better than the players I would face on ladder , LOL.
See my post above for a more detailed analysis of why it most likely IS Flash.
edit: It is funny that people are more obsessed about apm and eapm than actually looking at what is important.

lol a whole thread dedicated to one replay >_> OO
|
Just a few observations:
1) Flash mis-rallied several troops to the right side during his first push on Kawaiirice. I believe he intended to rally them to the left side where he was attacking.
2) Flash supply blocks himself multiple times during the game.
Some people say SC2 has a skillcap ceiling compared to BW. Granted Flash is new to SC2 and is not used to the game and interface, I doubt any pro, Flash included, will ever hit SC2's skillcap ceiling.

Tee hee hee <3

he always have around 0-50 apm at the start of the game even in pro games because of drinking pocari sweat and measuring with his ruler.

gotta remember this is in blizzard time. Idk the exact conversion, but this is pretty fast. Flash wasn't known for being slow in BW. Stork and Savior were considered the outliers for slow players who could still dominate, and they both had well over 200 real time apm.

Isn't 186 eapm with 20% redundancy kinda good.
Like MKP vs Thorzain MLG winter champ 20min game on Shakuras MKP 183 with 27% Thorzain 136 , 17%

that show us God playing!...seriously now stop pretending this is not important.. its hugeee.. it could be the first replay of one of the best players ever in the history of rts games (if not the best.. ) playing sc2.

idk why everyone is talking about apm. It is still a new game to flash so his apm isnt as high as it will be when he gets better at it. i just wanna know how kawaii knew it was flash
|
I have a proof it's not Flash

As you can see, it's a human, not God

Very nice replay to watch. I enjoyed it!

Great rep to watch. His mechanics are so solid already, he's got a wonderful foundation to build on. Its crazy to think how much room for improvement there is with a little touchup like better supply timings, 3 scvs queued, faster upgrades etc. Sky's the limit here I think. The engagement at the end was beautiful positioning wise. Stim in, do damage, pull out right as the tanks get sieged, then disengage and kill the third.
