Flash (T) vs Snow (P) on Empire of the Sun - StarCraft - Brood War 2020

[@singerkgreen]

As someone making Thanksgiving dinner and having family coming to town, I freaked out a little when you said Tuesday.

[@FalconPaladin]

Haha sorry, I decided to post this today instead. :)

[@aaronfabela1464]

I think another reason for Snow tapping out of the game early (besides walking his goons into sieged tanks) was he had expanded right before he engaged with Flash's tanks. When he lost all of his dragoons he didn't necessarily have the time/money to rebuild them cause that money went into the 4th expo. On another note: thank you Falcon for the cast and Happy Thanksgiving to all Falcon and friends Edit: Okay sorry if I repeated what you said in the video lol I commented too early.

I'm so glad KZbin knows that when I log in to KZbin at midnight or later I'm here for falcon paladin.

[@EricBennett1991]

In the end it looks like the dragoons were wasting time on vultures instead of tanks. I’m terrible but I noticed that odd targeting.

[@dominikgeisler2926]

Thanks for the awesome cast!

[@aldenhew6743]

When see a flash game, like is a must!

[@Acrillian]

I have a saved game of Flash/Miso vs Snow/Action 2v2 where Miso was taken out in the beginning they didnt eliminate him but his economy was wrecked and couldnt return to the game. So it was basically 2v1 and Flash f*cking ANNIHILATED them. Someone commented that Flash at the end had more supply used than the 3 of them combined

[@WildxPikachu]

I think he has it on his channel, here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnXFfGerYriEe5I

[@Acrillian]

@@WildxPikachu Yes I have the game saved on my computer I just mentioned it cause the game is excellent

[@phsal5182]

@@WildxPikachu Thank you!

[@Acrillian]

@@phsal5182 No prob

[@phsal5182]

I think the early Goliaths were there to deny drops into Flash's base. Nexus first against Flash would be crazy, yet Mini is in fact going Nexus first quite often, including in his ASL games. I guess he relies on his insane micro to defend this greedy build.

2:46 Casting Spirit :)

[@VerdeART]

Talk about bad decisions that lead to a quickie...

[@donniebrasco1364]

Why no arbiters from snow and shuttles carrying reavers to counter the tanks?

[@zilvinaspi]

GG? 13:21, very last second, FLash has plus 12 units, but all of this advantage is from having 11 more workers, which means they have equal amount of combat units. Very strange quit.

[@lucasblomgren1975]

Protoss needs more units than Terran

[@zilvinaspi]

@@lucasblomgren1975 great, but why not to try to accomplish it? i mean, to have more units. 120 vs 120, enough minning bases, enough minerals, etc. In most of pvt vods protoss and terrain have nearly the same supply numbers almost till the end of the game.

[@alexaverkiyev9099]

@@zilvinaspi because Snow has already tried it 1000 times agains Flash and never succeeded :( He decided to quit sooner this time

[@phamnhat2925]

The game was over by that point. - Snow's natural expansion went up later than Flash's (Snow behind), so he had to use goon pressure to kill early Tanks to delay Flash. However, Flash fended off that attack without having to pull SCVs to defend (no economic damage) - Snow had to use drop tech to cause economic damage in another way. Reaver tech was too late to go for, DT was better because Templar Archives lead to Arbiter tech. But somehow Flash ran 2 vultures into Snow's base just as Snow was loading the DTs. DTs ended up having to defend the base and Snow still lost probes (can't drop, economically behind even further) - Last fight, if Snow killed all the Tanks, then Snow would be less behind and get map control again. But he lost all his goons, and Flash still had 5 tanks alive. 5 tanks + Flash's next macro cycle >>> 0 units + Snow's next macro cycle (kill toss 3rd, contain natural). GG, game isn't winnable anymore.

[@monarchistdesade6989]

When there is alot of players watching in a game. It usually means they're doing a homemade tournament format of 4vs4 with X amount of money in play.

[@monarchistdesade6989]

As you can see it's Afreeca vs Charanyo.

[@edwardsinger7644]

feels like the game ended a minute or two early, but you can tell he tapped out because he got way too greedy at the end. Either way, this was a great game. And Falcon, this was a good cast on your part as well. gj

[@FalconPaladin]

Thank you!

[@JJ-qo7th]

"Was that a good trade?" 6 dragoons for three tanks, not.........really......

[@The_Scouts_Code]

it's not TOO bad though.

[@radovangoricanec4049]

Tnx

[@mrimp3rf3ct]

2 posts in one day, and im first again. guess i have something to rewatch the whole day

[@rinscheida]

wow the incredible Flash wins yet again and improves his record to 51-13 on the channel!

[@nils89]

Falcon if you could always pin a comment so we don’t get spoilers like this before we’ve watched the vid that would be greatly appreciated!

[@rinscheida]

@@nils89 don’t go to the comments before watching the video and you want have any spoilers lol

[@jakedavis2954]

I appreciate the record keeping

[@Lucky0wl]

Flash!

[@The_Scouts_Code]

Flash so good

[@christianweibrecht6555]

Why did 2 people have to join the match to be observers?

[@FalconPaladin]

You can only have four observers. Any more beyond that have to join the game as terran and lift off.

[@mattstorm6568]

I thought Flash was in the Army?

[@FalconPaladin]

Replay from the year before he left.

[@Lucky0wl]

Feel he should have stayed in a few more minutes

[@DzanNochke]

I don't get it. Why so many dragoons? Slow move, slow fire rate. Just swarm with zealots. If they use air, THEN make dragoons.

[@FalconPaladin]

Zealots are bad against spider mines and vultures.

[@DzanNochke]

@@FalconPaladin True, true, but if I play Protoss vs Terran (which is rare, I prefer Zerg) and I encounter even one mine, I'll just throw an injured zealot at a batch of mines ad nauseam and plow through. I've played 80% of matches against S Korean players that usually rush with the first few minutes so this kind of escalation tends to not happen, since they quit immediately if the "ling rush" fails.

[@linkernick5379]

Let me guess: Flash has won? UPD: Maybe. Go and watch yourself.

[@YARBlackSpark]

Lol Falcon, you seem to know other meta than everyone else, 12 nexus, or nexus first is most powerful build in PvT.
