Remember that when defending Flash would be targeting the top muta, so aside from turret damage the other muta's in the stack would have reasonably good health. There was no way they suffered enough extra damage from the small period of harass that they would be weak enough to retreat after irradiate. | ||

Jaedong was on the ragged edge on his defense of his third, and then the defiler came out, without energy and consume. Jaedong lost. Same thing happened here, considering he may as well have not researched irridate. The stim fail was kind of suicide in it's own right/ | ||

I think Flash would have died regardless of how well that irradiate came off, the build is quite interesting in its own way though, hopefully we'll see it used more effectively. Considering the lings issue, I wonder if Flash might incorporate building 1vulture before add-on rather than tank to deal with them. | ||

There's many games where Terran go Science Vessel rush to reasonable success. Nothing too innovative that we missed out on here, just a standard loss. I think playing against the legend killer is getting to Flash and he is making mistakes he wouldn't normally make. All a part of Jaedong's power, even if he has a lower winrate than Flash vs normal players, he is still capable of embarrassing God. I always like how much romance it adds to the game when players fulfill their nicknames. | ||

To me, he was in a solid position as long as he placed maybe one marine in that bunker (which was empty wtf?) and hadn't stimmed so readily. | ||

This is more like the game where jaedong lost pathetically after forgetting to research consume, but would've surely won easily otherwise. Are you applying the consume failure=JD's downfall to Flash in this game? ...because flash would likely still have lost even if he had gotten the irradiate off on a full-health muta afaik | ||

I'm not any good (only C-/C max), but the build has a lot of potential at these levels. Zergs just don't expect science vessels this fast, and it's relatively safe...even against lings, granted you place bunkers well and all that. | ||

I'm gonna have my friends play this build against me sometime soon. Seems strong and like you said relatively safe. Flash's irradiate was unlucky, but a few more turrets and it looks like you would be able to defend against quite a bit, more than people are giving it credit for. | ||

another point about the 6 stims.. with so few mm/turrets, flash has no choice but to stim every time because he didn't have enough defence to cover his base. with the build that flash went, its easy to se the heavy gas nature, but tally up the min of fac+port+tower+sci fac+irr research+vessel.. thats all minerals that would be pumped into rax and mm, ie defence against muta and map control, and a tvz w/out, map control mid game is pretty futile against the best zvt in the world.. edit: tbh, imo this is exacty what day9 means when he talks about "counter builds"; they just dont stand up against solid play. a wc3->bw lesson comes to mind: there are no heroes in bw. | ||
