I highly doubt that. And that's an understatement.

Rain on the other hand has been familiar with these multiple matchups for a far longer period of time so I just think he'll have an easier time. But yeah, who gives, Flash in Code S! :D | ||

Sticking with Colossi instead of switching into HTs. Or just doing a big 2 base push after the failed drop by Flash. This plus better drop defense. | ||

Also keep in mind Flash managed to get a third up, Rain really needed to stabilise earlier so he could either punish Flash's third or take his own slightly later but he wasn't able to. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + -Flash not making quick expand -> that is noteworthy for itself -flawless defence by Rain -Flash trying to comeback by making risky 3rd while pressuring with bio drops trying not to lose too much in the proccess -pretty good drop defence by Rain -Flash's drops are surgoen-like -DAT BLINK BLUFF BY RAIN holy shit, was so bw-esque when it comes to micro, laso this HT bluff while trying to buy time idk maybe I'm overreacting but this game was seriously awesome | ||

I agree with game 1. Though game 2 I really don't see all that much he could have done differently. Flash just played excellently and used every hole and timing there is for him to get ahead. When he stormed his own army the game was already over. In fact - when Flash was 3 base and Rain went for his 3rd + storm transtition and got caught with his pants down Flash had that. Really incredible showing from Flash today. P felt so stale and static in comparison to Flash's T in these games ~ | ||

Did not expect that result at all. | ||

I didn't say Rain is better, he's just more solid, he doesn't take any risk. Flash on the other hand, is willing to do something on the edge a lot of time. | ||

U can see from his game, his marco, his decision. All come from confidence, focus, concentration and hard work?? he must have fight off all the temptation, and practice hard. To get where he is today. He is so consistent, even after switching from BW to SC2. Not all players can achieve that. Now I am inspired. Better do something productive! No gaming or forum!... that is hard.. hahahahahaha Maybe watch one piece manga 1st.. | ||

I can bearly hold multiprong drops. I don't even get a chance to get my 3rd without beeing super far behind. Ofc. if the Terran doesn't mess up. I really have no answer to this type of play. Rain also just got brutforced. | ||

Rain's game might be more apt to kill several opponents with short preparation time and short gaps between games, and he'll play less greedy (so many all-ins in U&D, Rain wouldn't have skipped the bunker vs MC for example). i see. while i agree that it looked like that in the past, we could witness flash's solidness grow and grow over the last few months. dunno, i just think he's way beyond formduring the time of his u&d's on a side note, im kinda sad that its HOTS from here on. Although it's exciting it also means that so much is reset and not the full form/skill of all these amazing code S players can be carried over immediately. | ||

Let's see what hots holds for flash because is wol was not that impressive Not even in my top 10 kespa only sc2 I could be wrong but didn't Rain get denied scouting of Flash's expansion? How could he know that Flash took a risky third and wasn't building up to another timing? I think Rain had to stay in his base because of the possible threat (Flash showed many attempts of dropping, which in my book means you have to defend properly and not rush towards his side of the map). Flash was just always one step ahead of Rain, tough luck. :p | ||
