Yeah, he looked great against Zenio...right?
He also pwned DRG who may be the best ZvT player in WoL history.
Can't tell from just one series really.
thats true, but he kind of just blew him out of the water. Either DRG was super jet lagged from IPL5 and didnt care about the MLG ToC or Flash has really good TvZ.
Parting 3-0ed Life and Life beat Parting 4-2 just now, one series doesn't say much.

He did look pretty good actually, especially considering it was on a new map, which he would not have had much time to practice on.
I think his beef is the fact that it was Zenio. It was one of Zenio's better games in the first round of PL, but meh. Huge frigging map and Zenio was trying to pick off Flash's reinforcements and then attempting to flank and once Flash got his macro up he never looked back on that big map.
Flash macro style is sooo strong on SC2. That's how terran have to win now. Good mechanics means terran can fight the zerg on an even ground.

Oh I thought he was digging at Flash's play in that game. I think it's pretty hard to tell how good his TvZ is, because we haven't seen enough of it. What we have seen has looked promising, but maybe in a year we can ask ourselves this question and be able to answer it.

His TvZ revolved around super greedy play and he got figured out. You only need to do what Stephano did in his game vs. Mvp - make a round of roaches and continue drone production.

Life and leenock had been way better at ZvT for the last months. And with this, i am not speaking about just 1 series. But months of games.
so? DRG was always one of the best zergs all year even in his slump and during his slump he played like one ZvT televised and in season 4 he killed an all terran group in the ro32 with polt and bomber and someone else.

Haha, Terran players have had quite arguably the best mechanics of all the races players for a while now. While the kespa players are a step up, that does not mean they are on even ground. Flash goes for engineering bay blocks in a lot of his games, what he does isn't particularly standard and that means we can't say 'Oh TvZ is fixed because terrans actually couldn't macro'.

Because you are just talking about one series, of one player who is NOT the best ZvT player for the past months like if it was the biggest motherfucking accomplishment.
