Yeah, the crowd is kinda lackluster... but so would I be at that hour.
Besides the level of play wasn't really overwhelming either.
Let's just hope that those players see and remember how the winner of mlg gets cheered on. :-/

That was painful... Flash is just using the cheesiest builds from the beta in TvP. Not that he isn't good, but it's not that he's that much better. Terran is just infinitely micro-able. You can't say that X player has 'godly' micro or whatever when the other player can't micro his units to effectiveness even if he has the skill to do so. I didn't like seeing that. Bad beta flashbacks (no pun intended).

Not gonna lie, even though Flash's opponents made some pretty big blunders, I've seen alot of top level pros do some severely perplexing things before. His play was incredibly solid, and even though there were a few minor errors, he still looks to extend his dominance from SC1 to SC2. His level of play from Proleague till now is just leaps and bounds ahead of where he was. He's not quite at the elite level Code-S yet, but he could definitely compete in Code-A no problem right now, and likely take out some Code-S players in just another month or two of practice.

He showed that he was more than capable of handling P's late game against Stork and Bisu. Dealt with HT Storms really well, and showed some nice splitting. Not to mention his TvZ vs Soulkey was pretty insane, particularly game 2 for a guy that's barely played the game.

Flash looked okay. He was the only one who looked good in SC2 though. The rest of them were p bad. Looking forward to seeing how Flash is in about 6 mo or a year. The rest of them have got a LOT of work if they're going to make the transition for reals.

That was well played by Flash. Doing a Mvp-like strategy is exactly what i expected, considering the fact that he said he likes how Mvp plays.

ppl talking trash about flash when they have no idea whats going on LOL

cheese is so hard to execute at that high level because they face it so many times and they know how to counter every cheese.. flash is just showing some epic skills

Soulkey was actually pretty good, just didn't handle Muta/Bling/Infestor very well at all. His Ultra attack G1 was just 3-5 seconds too early, otherwise it might have been different (armor upgrade hadn't finished). Stork wasn't that bad either, just got overwhelmed by Flash's macro. I don't think anyone really played horrible except Fantasy and Jaedong vs Bisu. Flash looked extremely good; he isn't at Code-S level yet, but he could easily murder some of the mid-tier pros based on his mechanics alone, espec in TvZ.

Bisu also actually wasn't bad vs Flash either in g1, he just had a few minor errors that added up.

Bisu has obviously not been cheesed much by Terran if he thinks it's chill to go triple nexus against T. The BW pros don't have that kind of experience yet. They haven't been playing SC2 for that long, and for some of the time they had to split their time between BW and SC2.
