Flash's Modern Take on Mech Switch vs Zerg!

[@CorrectHorseBatteryStaple472]

I feel the need to say it again, cast as much Flash as you like. An actual cohesive story over the weeks is much cooler than Random guy vs Random other guy

Translating again, thank you to everyone who left me a kind word yesterday Flash: Hello Ddasik: Hello! What time would you be available to scrim? F: Not today, because my arm has been hurting since yesterday. I'll be playing a lot tomorrow. D: Sorry to hear that. Ok! What time should I be waiting tomorrow? F: If we can get on around the same time, how about in the evening? D: Alright! gl

[@tellumyort]

It is lunch time, I am at work. Reheat leftovers, swallow sadness. New ArtosisCast, a Flash game gives me joy. He has chills, I have warmth. There is hope, I timing push.

[@dreamyful]

I am loving the Flash coverage, so glad to see my favorite player come back and have such a legend covering it all. Truly a treat. One ask though is can you translate when the players are typing to each other? Would love to know what they're saying

[@undeniablyfunk5497]

It’s generally slurs, so I don’t think he can and stay monetized

[@thunder____]

The translation comment didn't get posted until after your comment, but someone in the comments did translate the dialog on both this and the previous Flash vs Ddasik videos, it's currently the top comment on this video. I agree though, would be nice if Artosis gave at least a quick summary of what's being discussed when the players are messaging at the beginning of a game

[@leqeque7383]

What's kinda crazy to me is that flash was up about 80 supply at some point and he didnt go for the kill right away what is that

[@BenjaminGlatt]

Flash can't actually see his opponent's supply. He has way better gamesense than anyone else, but he isn't omniscient.

[@TheDasErdinger]

Zerg is generally unkillable if their supply is above 70. So even a 150 supply Terran has to play patiently. Supply is really not a great indicator on who is ahead in BW, much less so in TvZ.

[@riuoku]

Say with me: DARK SWARM

[@sneediumminer]

dark swarm bottom text

[@reishiki8682]

It's called biding your time. Just because you have a big army supply doesn't mean your opponent doesn't. Just one crackling run-by and you can kiss your barracks rally point adios.

[@Acrillian]

Didnt play starcraft in a month or so so I got back to it for the past couple of days but the A.I is crushing me every single time I remember that there was a trick where if you hit the AI building with a worker it attacks you with all of its workers and loses a lot of time and money I might use it next time to beat it

[@Epicman2603]

Finally another Flash TvZ. I love it

[@Kagebunshin3]

I think Flash did the depots like that to tank muta bounce hits and force mutas to engage in a naturally funnelled line formation of rines if they get dived while rotating. The top and bottom flank of the line is covered by turrets, so mutas can't position to pick rines one-by-one for free.

[@MentalNewb]

While I prefer games with toss in them I've been absolutely loving this Flash series. Watching one of, if not the greatest Terran players improve at such an incredible pace is amazing.

[@martinbalke1843]

That gas snipe was big

[@Robert-dv9jt]

first time I saw depots around CC was from slayersboxer vs yellow in a showmatch

[@pierQRzt180]

it would be cool to have videos that talk about the "history" of openings. Who did what when. Even if it is something that was developed around a certain time by many and not only one player.

[@boyalogs]

I heard from somewhere that SK terran causes Flash wrist issues. First of all, is that true? If yes, do you think Flash is trying to come up with a non SK terran build specifically for TvZ for this reason?

[@jm9425]

"just moving shit around" It's so true though

[@Atillarous]

Feels like Flash maybe built those outside depots first so they would be harder to harass with mutas. Finish those ones in the early game so that way he can build the interior depots during the muta harass and avoid possibly losing SCVs or cancelling depots.

[@samab7891]

He just beat snow twice with a new build. Amazing player

[@gesuyarou663]

I love the casts, but I wish you would focus on the mini map more. Every cast there is always engagements missed because of talking about theoretical strategies they might try, what they should do, what part of the map is good for this, etc. It's interesting and welcome, but I think the timing on when to discuss needs some work with more focus on the actual playing.

[@kilmindaro3]

Is it just me or it's rare to see, at least on this channel, TvZ games where mines are heavily utilized?

[@sneediumminer]

mines perform a lot worse vs zerg than vs toss but its pretty satisfying to watch 3 mines pulp 2 ultras at once for insane value

[@kilmindaro3]

@@sneediumminer Even if they perform a lot worse, doesn't mean they don't perform at all. Maybe this is Flash's new addition to the meta, heavy mine use against the Zerg

[@Roxxigaro]

Mines are underrated vs ultra imo.

[@reishiki8682]

You'll see mines against 2-hatch lurker all-ins, since Z won't be having the gas for overlord speed to detect it and outright kills that build. Mech worked well here since there wasn't a switch into heavy queens, it was just ling+ultra.

[@drewwalbeck6006]

As someone who only watches BW, I never understood why mech is viable against zerg. I know tank splash damage can damage units under dark swarm, but the splash isnt that much, and a single lurker under dark swarm can still halt an entire army. When you add the fact that it has a huge counter (queens) and seems overall more expensive, it just never made sense to me :/

[@MeteCanKarahasan]

Queens are not cheap. They take the exact time as tanks to make and if you want to make them against tanks you must race them. Tanks are built in 106.5 seconds with siege mode ready at 125.4 seconds. Queens on the other hand are hatched the soonest in 132.5 seconds with both spawn broodling and gamete meosis ready in 256 seconds - precisely 3 seconds after the first queens gain spawn broodling ability, so there is a 2.5 minute gap until they deal the first response to tanks.
