great timing attack and it is really nice to have the only terran in the Ro8 making it to the finals, it really shows that it is the player who is important and not the race (since terran is surely not the strongest in this OSL). Thanks again Klaz for doing these commentaries, I am looking forward to the finals!
As the answer to the question about repetition of 2-hatch muta VS racks into CC: Just like in chess there are some popular openings, that are used. What is important is what is happening next. Here, of course, another factor comes into play.
Thanks for the great games/commentaries. Regarding Flash; he just plays the same way 19/20 games and people have tried everything against him but he's just too good atm. I guess Calm played what he thought he had the best chance with and hoped his skill was good enough, which it obviously wasn't. Flash is looking more or less unstoppable atm.
When such subtle differences can swing the game around, and you have a good opening that you are completely best at in terms of timings, there are just no motivations to risk your semifinals position just to try something different. Such late in the Starleague you don't want to learn anything or try anything new. You need to do what you do absolutely best.
Well, he definately has more experience and has 1 OSL. I haven't followed his games much to tell u the truth. The thing is that Movie and Shine are on fire right now. I'm rooting for Flash and Movie. What ever happens its gonna be epic.
@drdictatorr i dont think so, seeing how fast calm tried to get high tech, i think he was reserving the money to get 5 ultras, but flash attack was too sooner
Perfect timing attack by Flash.Calm was *just* right on the verge of getting his hive tech out.20s later and calm would have had swarm and could defend easily
They used the same strategy because , as Jedi knights, it is not noble to scrue the laser sword in favour for other more easy methods (in our case cheap cheese). In other words it was a battle of cohones.
Spoiler I really feel that makes the difference between a "Jaedong" and a "Calm". Even though Jaedong has far superior mechanics than Calm does, I really think Calm should have taken a page out of Jaedong's book and switched it up and not do the same build every match. Just my thoughts...
2 hatch muta would only work if had done dmg to the fast exp terran. but again flash's suicide mm really delayed the initial harass. however, z shouldn't rush straight to hive tech w/o doing dmg because could never catch up, so bad adaption for calm. should have gotten more muta and contained t more while macro. very good series nonetheless!!
Klazart we love you. Stop it with your healthy lifestyle and go back to abusing the good things that life has to offer. =) Just kidding. Thanks for the games, you haven't lost your edge.
