not really that surprising in my opinion though I do agree (as a Terran player) that I'm surprised T's don't Bunker rush more often just as a general rule given how strong it is. | ||

In light of that, I think Flash alone makes the bunker rush work more than any other terran player. Flash is the kind of player that if you give him a LITTLE advantage and room, he takes it n rapes you in the ass with it. So zerg players want to fully capitalize in whatever way possible so that they have the highest chance of winning against Flash, which to be honest, isn't very high at all. And this Flash is the the Flash we saw when he won the OSL. Very smart and strategic with full use of his macro potential in his BoX series. Especially important because not only does he utilize his macro ability in a long macro game, he uses its shadow to gain short victories. And this is probably the highest level of strategy and intellect available in SC. | ||

If you make the bunk before the rax, then the rax will be WAY too late. Bunker rushing after 144cc is nonsensical because there is no way you can ever make it work against a normal 12hatch 11/12 pool. | ||

-If I don't 12hatch, I'll be really behind because Flash's macro is so flawless. -I can't cheese Flash, his control is too good. -Then maybe I should go pool first? But then I'll be behind economically, and Flash is too good to hand any advantage at all to... -I guess I'll 12hatch. He wouldn't dare bunker rush again after he did it again so recently. -FUCK When was the last time someone tried cheesing Flash, anyway? It's uncanny how rarely it happens. | ||

The reason why he was slumping / sucking was that everyone "figured" him out? Flash took that theory and flushed it down the toilet. | ||

You don't understand, if I 9scout and see a bunker rush I have to 12 pool anyway or lose so I get doubly behind. Also the difference between 9scout 12 hatch and 12 pool-12hatch is really quite small, like razor thin | ||

In fact it's almost illogical not to bunker rush someone of equal skill. I've always wondered this too! Anyone remember that thread analyzing the economics of a bunker rush? If I remember correctly, even if it almost totally fails, the zerg and terran come out nearly the same economically. | ||

Flashes defense is so good. He makes every cheese laughable, from bulldogs to DTs, to early reavers. He's playing super solid right now, anyone who hopes to beat him has his work cut out for him. | ||
