I agree Ret played pretty good, but saying he deserved to win is just being biased. Flash played so freaking well, and was definitely the better player. I am really impressed by his macro maxing out 200/200 at the 14 min mark against a zerg on approx 140 supply

Oooooook, I will admit to heavy bias
#Wet4Ret forever, but seriously, EVERY Terran maxed around the 13-14 minute mark against EVERY Zerg all tournament long, not just Flash against Ret. Until Life vs Polt not a single Zerg managed any real advantages. Not to take away from Flash's victory or play, or to make excuses for Ret. I absolutely agree, Flash's play was stellar and immaculate as usual, but was so enhanced by the strength of widow mines and medivacs that Ret got beaten by an exaggerated margin imho. I think it would have gone to game 5 at the very least had Ret not been forced to play from behind all game long by widow/bio and medivac drops.I think that between there being an imbalance in relative player skill in the Z and T representation at this tournament, AND the slight imbalance of the abilities of the Terran units, Terran is appearing to be very overpowered. Life was the only Zerg to take more than A map off a Terran the entire tournament. Polt wasn't using as much widow mine play/mass medivac drops as Last or Innovation were, looked kind of sloppy (likely due to it being 2:00am) and Life still had to play like a fucking mad man to beat him in game 5. It'l like a reversal of WoL ZvT almost, where the Terrans had to outplay the Zerg in the lategame to win against a maxed BL/infestor force, not the Zergs have to outplay the Terrans in the mid game to survive against the widowbio and medivac speed threats to even think about going to the lategame without a huge disadvantage.
