Someone answer me though, is drilling/being more evasive with the SCVs really the winning move in that situation, assuming Jaedong reacts and pulls his lings away from dangerous situations? That meanst that Jaedong is mining and Flash isn't.
I mean I can see that Flash screwed up his micro, but I don't think it was like the most easily avoidable mistake.

Not as much as it would have had if he hadn't wasted time on the creep colony (that hadn't started morphing to a sunken yet) or autoattacking that egg for a few seconds by mistake.
Lol, so many mistakes. Stick to macro Flash! I wanne see a game 5

????? There's hardly any comments about imba- only a couple so far from the Flash side. What are you smoking?

I don't know if you realize this or not, but having a bunker with a marine in it BEFORE the lings even get to your base is about as good as it gets. Normally 4 pool works when the T goes for a standard rax timing and doesn't wall in. Flash just royally screwed up that defense... He lost like 6 scvs to 6 lings... wtf, with any semblance of scv drilling or micro he would have won easily.
he had to keep his scv's near the bunker so that he wouldnt lose it and so that the marine(s) inside the bunker could shoot the lings (Jaedong was reinforcing with more and more lings constantly, if JD would have had enough to take the bunker down it would have been instant GG). He also attacked the lings with his SCV's for the same reasons, you cant just keep them running since lings could have attacked the SCV's anyway.
But you guys are probably smarter than Flash anyway so nvm.

Oh lighten up. We're enjoying Starcraft here.
I didn't realize people enjoyed endless bickering so much.

Flash stopped producing scvs. It was an all-in. Not sending scvs is a mistake even if he doesn't bunker, because he doesn't have the firepower to quickly kill any buildings and of course Jaedong will produce lings from his main hatch.
Yeah he could have drone drilled but it's not like Jaedong will watch his lings die. Flash's biggest mistake was deciding to all-in (which is debatable, and hard to judge in a game, so you can't really fault him), and then not sending scvs with it.
