Winning only one game vs Flash must feel like a win in and of itself. And they way Hero won was by brute force! You can see it in Flash's play that he was rattled!

@@odinian6244 Hell yeah. Awesome games to watch.

Almost cried on your post. Very inspirational and emotional

@@user-tm4br8pf3n That's awesome! I love writing and think I have a knack for it, it's always wonderful to hear when people are inspired by it. Brood War is a beautiful game.

@@kevinswift8654 You didnt detect the trolling vibe dont you :D? But yeah brood war is an awesome game :)

@@user-tm4br8pf3n oh well that's a shame :(

@@kevinswift8654 sorry didnt mean to heart your feelings. But your post seemed way too emotional :). Have a nice evening

Not that bad indeed, but IMO Bisu game for the 3rd place was amazing.

Well, it was obvious that drops were the way to go. Somehow this "professional" completely forgot about plagues and the fact, that disrupting macro of the best macro-terran in the world is the key to victory...

that game was good, but the rest were washes

It was boring because the final result was never in question at any point in time.

a place is SC heavens is reserved for you :)

Good lad. Cheers.

​@@odinian6244actually that's like half a minute later

"I only wish Flash would watch me play, be disappointed in my starcraft abilities and then hit my knuckels with that ruler. That would be just the dream!"

This made me smile

But hero in sc1 is not the same hero as the one in sc2.

just go to Teamliquid.net tournaments every week and alot of helpful dudes if you ask. ofcourse not on the level of asl though

Oh absolutely, Flash was a bit bewildered there. The whole match though, extremely well played by both.

Very true!

You misread the game. He didn't fight back - he just didn't wanna GG, and Flash chose a build that wasn't supposed to finish him off instantly (if it was supposed to win instantly, he would have skipped the Starport and gone with multiple barracks or factories). But there was absolutely no fighting chance for Hero. Flash had Vessel out before his lair was finished and was up twice the supply most of the game. You could have replaced Flash with pretty much any other top-50 Terran, and Hero would still have lost against at least 90% of them from that deficit. Only way to make a comeback from such a deficit is with Dark Swarm, and that was at least 5 minutes away.

@@Athinira Oh for sure. I never meant that Hero had a chance, I was just impressed how long Hero survived against vultures and marines with only drones and the worst opener against what Flash was doing. Other players would would have lost all their workers and wouldn't have their hydra den started. But you're right, it had a lot to do with Flash being conservative after taking that lead

@@Sapreme Yeah, i guess we just have a different opinion on what "fighting back" means then. To me, it implies that you turn a bad position into one where you have a somewhat decent fighting chance. Hero never really had here - once Flash was ready, he pretty much just a-moved to victory :-) (also sorry for the late reply, i know it's been 2 years since your post)

When your greed cheese is hard countered by an aggro cheese, it's just checkmate. Hero should have GGd as fast as allowed instead of allowing Flash to play with him.

pretty sure they were talking about those clamps, not a ball per se. Like those things that you put on the end of the weights on a bench press bar, its got a metal coil between two grips. They might just be called grips.

I don't think Hero was too far behind at any moment. Even after he made the 8 lings, that was not all-in, he was droning already even before the SCV spotted them. At worst, he got 50 supply behind, which is surmountable with a solid 3rd and defiler. Before that, the tank push failed. Barely, but it failed thanks to muta switch. And the other winning move was the scourges to take out the dropship then absorb turret shots for the overlords. What Hero did was crazy hard because it's Flash, but he was never really far behind imo.

Saw him playing Protoss on stream on ladder with a 2 probe handicap. It's scary.

isnt that a contradiction?

yes.

Flash is a contradiction

one word. Effort.

zerg is a bit too weak though. supply difference is ridiculous

@@2ndintelligentWorld you think zerg is weak because of the supply difference in this finals? lol

top 4 from previous tournaments have direct play through to the ro.16 of the current one. Same for the GSL

Divide korean currency by 1000 and you have your answer.

Pre-Yogi sharp

It's why Flash has that twitch, he practices with full strobe light sun mode blasting his corneas even while he sleeps.

haha i see it :D

Done. Watching your vids man. Spanish, latinos or spanish speakers that are interested in Broodwar? Got my vote :)

Linkxownzall, actually, I look all these in english cause they're not in spanish. Off course, Artosis, Tasteless and Rapid (yes, Rapid, such agood guy, he's learning) are great, but spanish BW? Neat. Viejo, si hacen las ASL y luego comienzan desde Averatec sería genial. Siguiendo el canal, apoyando la remasificación de la vuelta de Starcraft, ¡éxito!

Muchas gracias Cristian Donoso, te comento que hay un buen caster qué comenta la ASL en español, su canal es "José SC". La idea es fortalecer la comunidad de Starcraft en español 💪

aka worst song in asl5

장기풍 기풍님이당 ㅎㅎ -3-

Maurice D i dont think larva would have won either flash is another level but i agree with you lol

lol larva easy 3-0 for flash. only one who would have had a good chance was effort

That's why I think all previous ZvZ in this season were like a lottery, and absolutely boring to watch. I might be all wrong, but Soulkey overall is better Zerg. And imho better than JD (at least in this season).

all i know is that flash scrimz a lot with effort and more often than not gets shit on.

the games I've watched with flash and larvae more often than not go back and forth....at either rate....zero was a gimme....

Jangbi is a great player but they have exactly a 50/50 record against each other, he didn't always defeat him

dandele123 this shit couldn't be more predictable, boring and monotonous than it already is.

No, it's so balanced right now. The fact it's the same person winning every year and that it wasn't a TvT shows it must be purely skill

I just hope someone better than Flash emerges. Its kind of boring now.

SC1 > SC2 ;)

I kinda agree. I don't know how he managed to win the 3rd game, I have watched it 3 times already. Flash probably just relaxed a bit after 2 victories. IMO, Soulkey should be there instead. I really disliked the way Soulkey dropped out because of these boring ZvZ fights. Pure lottery, imo. Flash, Bisu, Soulkey - gold, silver, bronze.

He couldn't even secure a third in any of the games he lost. He did not choose to not get defilers. He simply wasn't able to survive until he reached the tech. Defiler tech and drops are definitely powerful, but getting there is very difficult, especially against Flash of all players. He died at points where those aren't even options yet. "So frustrating to watch such talented player ommiting one tactic and losing solely because of that." Really?

That drop in game 3 gave him a huge advantage due to the timing of it, as he was switching from bio to mech, it was pretty close to perfect. Hero couldn't get a third up in any of the games he lost due to flashes pressure, how the fuck he supposed to get hive, ling upgrades, lurkers, defilers and upgrades and drop upgrades on 2 base and not get completely outmacro'd by the best macro terran in the game. Yeah I'm sure you know better than the zergs making a living playing this game "duurrr jus drop lings in terra base GG EZ"

your analysis of the first game is awful. He DID cancel the hatch, and made a sunk. more sunks would not have helped, and only would have put him farther behind than he already was from having to cancel an almost done hatchery. making spores would have crippled his economy to the point where he might have well gg'ed at that point. yes these players make mistakes, but to pretend that you understand the game better than them is pure arrogance. if you can so easily win with drops as zerg, id like to see you take out flash (not gonna happen in a million years bro)

I agree. I completely missed the cancel on hatch. Spores were a thing he needed imo. Wraiths completely wrecked him and for a reason unknown to me, he was running in circles with drones for a LOOONG time. I don't pretend to understand the game better than everyone else. I know it that I will never be as good as them, but I can always comment on stuff. Your last sentence is as big pile of shit as my analysis of first game, lul. It just makes no sense. It's like saying to anyone "if you know better, show it" which is pretty simplistic and stupid. Anyways. Given that we two are stupid in our own ways, and can go back to commenting, he could drop in 2 other games, he just didn't do it. He deliberately choose not to do it. I guess it was an immense amount of stress, pretty similar to what happened to Bisu - and it's not just me saying that. FlaSh himself on his stream said, that Bisu was stressed out and you could've seen that in his games vs FlaSh. herO was under way bigger pressure, so I guess it explains a lot. BTW - please take comments with a grain of salt - everyone is different, can have a bad/good day etc. ;)

Rapid was a blast in the last match. I actually prefer him over Tasteless sometimes.

Yea, well said. Terran is such cheating OP race. Vulture can kill zealots and zerglings way too easily and they cost only 75 minerals. Their spider mines are also so OP as well. Bunker repair with multiple/unlimited SCVs is also so fucking OP. It's like having a cannon or Sunken that never dies. Stack all SCVs and repair a bunker. It reaches max hp in two seconds. Terran is also the only race with 3 different stealth detection; Comsat Scan, Missile Turrets and Science Vessel. Science Vessel is so OP as well. Irradicate can kill high tier units like Ultra and Lurker easily. And their EMP is so OP. Gets rid of entire shields of Protoss unit with one click? That is so OP. It's like losing half of life already. And Tanks are the most overpowered unit of all. Does too much damage with too long of a range. They need to nerf the tanks a little. Have less range and little less damage in Siege mode. Golithes are also OP as hell. They are pretty cheap to make and yet, their anti-air is too powerful. Golithes can easily kill top tier unit like Guardian which is so bs and OP. Their anti air missile is like on roids or some shit. And Ghost is also OP against Protoss. One cheap unit of Ghost can literally take on a Carrier because of Lockdown. I can go on forever but I'll stop here. Blizzard favors Terran the most. They were on crack or roids when they were making the Terran race. They need to nerf the F out of Terran in SC1 and SC2 asap.
