We're curious to hear what resolutions you've made for yourself this season.

I did very poorly last season, so I want to take back my title of "King of Most Wins". I want to achieve results that are worthy of my team name and make sure that we take the championship.

*shivers*

Good opening day for KT and my FPL team!

Flash looked so solid that game with great decision making as well as clean and precise macro. Pushing aggressively and handling Zenio's counters almost perfectly was a beautiful sight. It's awesome he found a way to incorporate ravens into his play and I hope we get to see more of that.

Oh God now every zerg who pooh poohs terrans for not getting a raven for detection has been validated by Flash.

In all seriousness though Flash has a point: Terrans waste 10-20 scans per game (minimum) to clear creep and have some detection.... I think Flash has already showed how little current players know and not just Terrans. His sim-city is already changing how people build their fortifications. And he's already doing pretty cool stuff with builds. He'll be a real innovator in HotS too. I think all people have been saying for awhile is that making one Raven is more economical than what Terran currently do - it seems like Flash agrees.

Notice one thing that Doa keep mentioning during the whole game in Flash v Zenio which is his macro is so good but you have to realized from what background flash comes from he practically owned everyone in broodwar with pure macro and if he wants he could just sit on 3 bases the whole day and let you try all you want but you will fail . Nevertheless I think this is how flash begins just like batman begins .

Flash's macro looked so on point that game, no over queues or under queues, minerals floating at double digits consistently, was just madness. His micro was definitely lacking in some places though.

Kinda similar to Bomber. Their macro is so incredibly strong that they can pretty much only do what's absolutely necessary in terms of micro before they switch back to macromode.

Also good start for my fantasy team. Already worth it making Flash my captain.

I was hoping Flash would make more than one raven and we'd see a throwback to some SK Terran. But one is enough and Flash's confirmation that they are good is going to make Avilo mad as fuck

Looking at Flash's game, it looks really odd. The build order is definitely him trying a bunch of new things in the beginning of the game.

Finally someone realized what Ravens are useful for. Took players long enough... but yeah it's Flash so all terrans probably waited for him to give it his seal of quality.

Actually, no, it was very very polished. E-bay block precisely because taking the third as a replacement to the natural is not as desireable on the map? Polish. Tons of building clutter at his ramp in case of early baneling response to the e-bay block yet NOT having any traffic/congestion/trapped unit problems? Polish. Building a raven as an extension of a hellion/banshee production regime? Polish. And bloody freaking obvious. Not even for the creep/burrowed banelings, but burrowed infestors getting into tank lines pretty much doesn't happen with a raven around, something that has been crushing marine/tank lately.

It's odd because it was CREATIVE... not sloppy.

To be fair most top BW players had nearly perfect macro for the early and mid-game. Flash's edge was defending with less, sometimes taking smart risks, and turning the extra econ into deadly timing attacks or favourable late games.
