>>738243053
I said yesterday that I think it'll be 1-3 in Flash's favour and I'm sticking with that. My hopes are that Snow puts up a good fight, we see 20+ minute games and it goes to 5 with Snow eventually winning, but I don't think that's how it's going to go.

Snow: top tier PvT Bantu ape. The real deal.
Flash: washed Terranny who was eliminated by three Zerg Chads in his last three ASL runs.

Really unsure who will win this though. Flash is so much better than any other terran that he may not leave a real chink the armor.

They said in the Korean stream that Flash is on a 30-match TvP winning streak. Snow expects to break that today.
Flash thinks it'll be 3-1 his way
Snow thinks it'll be 3-2 his way.

I have to say that was not a good game from Snow.

Snow thought he was playing against artosis going for that early 2 carrier attack timing or something. What was he smoking? If he waited for 5-6 carries before showing he would have easily won.

Snow showed them a bit too early
>>
>>738246103
All he had to do was not show the carriers for another 1-2 minutes
He wasted his surprise to kill a single tank, if he held off until he had 4 carriers he could have sniped the CC and coasted to a free win
Of course this happens because RIGGED

>>738246110
I'm going to be mad that he didn't wait for 4 carriers the entire rest of the night. He showed his shit with too few to accomplish anything, and Flash switched into full Goliath in response.

(you)
>>
>>738246170
It's extremely expensive to tech into

i think snow felt pressured to attack when he did to kill tanks and possibly disrupt the 3rd base econ enough to snowball from there when the rest of the carriers arrived. not a good plan either way
>>
>>738246226
but they used to do it all the time
>>
>i hope the best TvP on the planet doesnt scout for hidden bases while im greeding 2 base carriers
wtf is snow smoking
>>
>>738246257
It's not a good plan because getting to carriers is a massive investment and even if he had 0 goliaths, 2 carriers don't do damage that fast and that gives you plenty of time to shit out a bunch of goliaths - you have the factories anyway for tanks.
Snow obviously knows that. Shit feels unironically rigged.

The campaign is more fun than competitive
And then you can try to play some UMS (use map settings) custom games on bnet, I don't know how active the scenes are for some of them but last time I played there were still nightly games of Helms Deep, Heavens Last Stand, turret D games, poker D, RPG games, spec ops, custom hero wars, etc

You could definitely still play through sc1/bw and sc2 singleplayer and have fun.
>>
>>738246448
so?
>>
>>738246460
The remaster is...mostly fine. The audio is unchanged, the visuals are okay. Some of the unit portraits are worse than vanilla (they went with the SC2 aesthetic on some), but you can swap between the two settings with a single button press. The higher resolution makes it a lot nicer to play in <current year>.

I mean, in isolation that statement is pretty meaningless. 150 supply terran is fine vs 200 supply protoss.
They problem was more that flash was struggling to get to 80 supply or maintain a decent tank count.

>>738248058
I could see leta winning a bo1 or even a bo3 against soma. He's an unpredictable player who can come up with some builds that throw his opponents off and give him wins out of nowhere.
However, a bo7 will generally smooth out that variance and give the win to the better player and as much as I love leta I think that's soma.

It does mean that he will have to show some ZvT builds in the semis which will give the terran in the finals some ideas of what to expect.
The only TvZ that Flash has played so far this season is the one game he threw against Jaedong.

Yesterday I finished doing the Terran campaign on the Brood War side for a nostalgia run and I’m now reminded, why does the Goliath’s AI act so weirdly? It feels like they have a gigantic enemy detection range compared to most other units, they’re aggro as hell and will chase something across the whole map if they can, and if they’re surrounded by a bunch of ground units like Zerglings/Zealots it seems like there’s a lot of times where they keep swiveling around (trying to retarget?) which only seems to slow down their ground attack indirectly
>>
>>738248294
>He's an unpredictable player who can come up with some builds that throw his opponents off and give him wins out of nowhere.
unpredictable??? leta will message his opponent before the game "im going 2port", then he will go 2port, then he will win
>>
>>738247890
>when has flash ever just turtled and greeded I've never seen a game like that from him
He did during his physical prime, he's had lots of come backs doing that during the kespa era.

Also, FlaSh has been in the ro4 practically every single time he attended ASL, no? He lost outside Ro4 very few times once he's in the main stage.

Does FlaSh have a chance against Light?
Honestly, FlaSh plays too fast against Light and that's what defeated him in the past TvT's he has fought. RoyaL and JYJ? I think outmaneuvered Light so many times.
In a long game, it's a toss-up but FlaSh is known to play and have pioneered quick TvTs in the ASL era.

I still think Snow is better than Flash in a standard game and would've won if he didn't go full retard in 2 games.
In game 5 switching to carriers was fucking retarded too but he was so behind I don't that mattered.
>>
>>738253180
>in a standard game
his carrier switches are the result of his bungling a standard game, snow is too used to delaying terran pushes with a reaver defense setup and slowly building his advantage from there.
but flash is just too fast and relentless in his attacks that snow crumbles.
it's like a reverse of what snow does against terrans, when normal terrans scramble their micro and bungle an attack because they don't know how to position and control their army against a reaver defense.
meanwhile snow bungles his amazing reaver micro and control against flash because flash knows what to do and how to execute an attack that dismantles it.
>>
>>738249382
several reasons, they have insanely high detection/attack range against ground and even more against air with upgrade.
they also have the fucked up hitbox like goons, but goons don't need to rotate to shoot, so they get less fucked then Goliaths
>>
>>738249382
Goliaths are weird because they act like a turret on legs, same as unsieged tanks. This quirk also makes it so ensnare doesn't affect their attack speed.
>>
>>738252785
flash has retired and come back something like five times now across his career, each time playing his last league ever
he's mastered the art of rugpulling and emotional manipulation on his fans
>>
>>738243032
where's the big schnauzer mother fucker?
