SPL Flash vs Action 2010-05-19 @ Roadrunner

[Leidenspfad]

I love Flash's facial expression in the end: "Holy shit, that Action kid is pretty good, man!" Now they're on one team. He must've impressed alot of people.

[MrComputerXO]

poor action, he played well. There were some Savior esque moments with the epic defiler play but just 1 mistake and Flash the monster turns the entire game around. GG

[voronge]

fuck action is awesome. i dont care about his gameplay he just looks like a baws



[Mrgreatestfreakout]

lol flash and actionscript

[qhuydtvt]

Awesome Flash! Reverse everything!!!

[maoskillskid]

kt must have been impressed with Action with this game to recruit him!

[refusedchad]

4:11 mini map- dick

[imdvids]

I'm a big Flash fan, but this time, I wanted Action to win! Freaking terrans

[digimon969]

Any of the races are imba.

Flash is the one that's imba.

[Claews]

Maybe we should call him dark swactiorm... devour + swarm is so ridicoulus!

[redryan20000]

dark swarm so overpowered.

[XvBOOMvX]

i speak korean and the reason of the ppp according to the commentator

is because there was some problem with the light for the ref. they needed to fix it 

[ForceDestroyer]

MAN, THAT WAS DAMN CLOSE!

Until the tanks killed too much at the 3 o'clock base close to the end, it looked like Action would win.

Maybe he should have been a little more patient while having the resource advantage? Anyways, this might be the closest game I've ever seen! And that with Flash playing! Awesome!

[rainbowgay21]

Flash only won cuz he's terran.... Terran is imba against Zerg

so even though the zerg played awesome, terran won cuz he had money, which is becuz his units dont die. -_-

[tOunyWTC]

@rainbowgay21 You're really a gaytard, learn starcraft or return to wow.

[wak27]

i usually don't get too emotional watching bw but god damn i feel so bad for action i feel like his godly defiler play deserved to win

[ParadiseQ]

19:46 so many sci vessels

[Weidl01]

20:36 24:19 27:56 31:50 35:40 35:55 hardcore plague and so key

i wished Action would win ... so well played

he got so many ideas... but flash is th master

[DesN00b]

at 12:40 when the commentator said "greater spire" i literally lol'd

[potshot2]

15:38 PLAGU!

[BlackYoshi2]

LMFAO when they were all walking right past that drone hahaha!!!!

[BlackYoshi2]

My computer is sooooo slow!

[ig33ve]

haha i died when i saw that lurker stack under the drone!

[p90xNick]

This is professional?  This is the weirdest pro game i've ever seen. What's up with this?

[Sazaka]

@p90xNick

In what way was it a weird pro game?

[p90xNick]

@Sazaka Well I am by NO MEANS good in starcraft even though I played it for along time like 9 years ago. But I love to watch pro matched. I have just never seen such an expanded, long game. What I mean is, these players have a lot of buildings and units. Maybe i am wrong, but I have just never seen it.

[Sazaka]

Ah. I see. Sorry if I sounded too condescending, I did not mean to be. Starcraft has evolved a long way from the play of 9 years ago. This is considered quite a long and unusual (very good) game even in modern starcraft. It's games like these that keep me coming back to watch the competative games.

[YiDog21]

Kim Seong Dae looks like he could be a hobbit from the Lord of the Rings

[hangshan1]

Man, that's not even fair!

[djlink18]

34:42 LOL, control group of defilers and a queen, WTF?

Really good game, although it would have been brilliant if Action did a mass muta switch to snipe those tanks instead of making queens and so many defilers.

[deuone]

too bad Action, he played really good imo, i think we have an upcoming star here :P

[gamapg]

flash intentionally put himself behind so there'd be a challenge... and.. flash lost the osl intentionally since it was too easy

[StrangeAttractor1]

What were the commentators laughing at 35:12?

[Retronicer]

:34 Depablo ;)

[TheSecretAzNMan]

Action's defiler usage was sickeningly good.

Flash's not-getting-vessels owned skill was somewhat lacking in this game. I guess it's worth it if you can keep a vessel presence to counter defilers. If he pulled too many back for repairs, Action's defilers would have overrun flash.

Then again, flash had so many vessels, even considering how many were lost.

[podjigateli]

Cool. Action has Mega  control

[Radwalls]

Action tried every trick in the book!

[3JeanPierre3]

At 0:37 they detected a North Korean nuclear launch

[christinio]

@3JeanPierre3 Correct, but The Mantoss was on the spot so they could continue promptly

[SPQRomantic]

Action so good.

[shadow8k]

Flash was getting his terran ass handed to him, but its amazing that he still won. Shows why he his the world champ.

[podjigateli]

@shadow8k  He is not. World champ is Jaedong yet.

[AmericanBNPfriends]

haha dumbass nubs flash was never behind

[EnsignN7]

The stage looks nice during the game itself. No pulsing lights. Looks like an extremely relaxing environment

[aimthailaxu]

THE DREADED EYE TWITCH :D

flash <3 sad you lost to effort

no GOLDEN MOUSE for you twitcher! :D

[aimthailaxu]

NAL_ra!!!! <3

[aimthailaxu]

AHHHHHHHHHHH PLAYGU

[kasumimi]

Wow.. my jaw dropped at Flash's comeback...!

[jokacho]

it's remarkable how low is Action APM, with that slow activity I'd not last 3min against Flash.

[efthio]

action's head is bigger than his body

[MrNeutralized]

That was an insane game, but I think the loser could have won with a little more patience.

[chrisbary]

Flash is KT's anchor

[chrisyoon123]

they paused because the light on flash's side was too strong and was reflecting light off the monitor and causing flash to have difficulty looking into the monitor and looking at the minimap.

[disricebucket]

Wow, I thought the loser had it =X

[Lochmere]

Wow Epic game, a bit of a premature gg i think.

[JayChouFanatic]

Flash checking his text at 2:22

[Nostalgiaforinfi]

@JayChouFanatic

looked like an iphone

[napoxx11]

ZOMG!!!!!! what a game!

[barrskog85]

lord of plaguuuu! epic game.. feels like Action got overconfident midgame

[NewTerranStyle]

how old is action omg o.o

[bloteshame]

epic game

[ZuchinniOne]

Holy Shit!!!! I can't believe that [SPOILER] won!!!!

[puckSHOCK]

Wow, it's been a while since we've seen such high level play. It's absolutely ridiculous.

And btw Flash's tanks saved his ass so many times.

[Mort1c1an]

@puckSHOCK That is such a stupid thing to say, its like saying Action's defilers saved his ass so many times ...

[crazyjames1233]

i bet Effort is going to be studying this game and his own last performance against flash very carefully in the near future...

[dl2agon]

Action wasted so many units just blindly running into fire

[UndeadTheta]

Man action why didn't you keep any defences at 10 o'clock? you had the game man, just keep flash down a few minutes longer! :\ In any case, fantastic game, GG!

[amerikano]

DISQUALIFICATION!!! At 2:24 Flash checking his phone, that's in the rules, for reals yo the game should have gone to the little guy known as chubzilla.

[gunza123]

@amerikano looked like an ipod

[amerikano]

@gunza123 lol... or perhaps it was an I-PHONE!!!

[chavez885]

damn that was close flash, WTF

[ImDrizzt]

sick sick, also thought it was over at 35 min and that flash had lost lol

[oiponapnhoj]

these guys are super heroes

[Mahu0tsukai]

What an insane game! one of the best in recent memory, both players gave it their all. GG

[yoni199]

i was absolutly sure that flash loses in this one until the last 2 minutes

amazing game !

[valivondtru]

this guy has some nice PLAGUUU ;)

[RadiateJayess]

Flash got busted with his map hacks :) LOL

[s4life]

what a match!!... jaedong or effort might have pulled it off in this situation.. awesome play by action though. This seems to be the best strat against late terran mecha vs Z.

[psolee21]

Rofl checking on the PP time the shell if any msgs :P

Flash...

[craziii3]

that was well played, if he had killed those expansions at 2 n 4 flash would lose right there. that battle at 4 was super bad micro on action's part. gg.

[Taosique]

34:41 - KYN!

[chrisbary]

@Taosique Kyn lol Queens!

[Taosique]

20:29 - that plague is about as massive as the Black Death in medieval Europe.

[japphan]

Action once again showing off his great defiler play, but .... DO NOT TRY TO HUMILIATE THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD WITH QUEENS! YOU WILL LOSE!

Awesome comeback by Flash.

But I will look out for Action in the future. He is showing greatness already. And he really looks like a Zerg player.

[UnholyOneToo]

@japphan THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD is JAEDONG!!!

[japphan]

@UnholyOneToo

Oh, does he also hold the the record in win percentage over a season? I also love Jaedong, but just look at the stats.

Btw, I don't think he should go for queens against JD either :P

[UnholyOneToo]

@japphan We`ll see about that (in end of may - great final)!

[sakelee]

YES....what an amazing game

[r3z3nd3]

20:29 PLAGUUUUUU

[anubis12321]

I follow the pro SC scene but i don't understand the language. Could someone that speaks korean explain why they paused the game; it would be greatly aprechiated. thanks!

[wallish]

@anubis12321 they had some grievances about lighting bouncing off the screen

[Kohria]

@anubis12321

I don't have fluent korean as I am American born and raised, but it seems to me that they were talking about either a flare on the screen, or the light settings were a bit screwed up. They were talking about light, reflection, and how Flash probably can't see the screen well.

[danzjjang]

@anubis12321 My Korean might be off (1st language korean, but I lived in Canada for most of my life), but in a nutshell, it was an issue with brightness with either one of the player's monitors or some other thing. They thought it may lead to visual issues like view of minimap and what not with the glare.

I'm sure I missed something since one of the commentator's voice has quite a bit of accent to understand easily, so try not to flame me :p.

[vipersrules]

@anubis12321 they paused because flash thought there was something wrong with his screen and would later become a problem

[LucaTurilli89]

@vipersrules why what was with his screen?

[eillie60]

@LucaTurilli89 the kespa referee paused the game because he thought the lights were reflecting on flash's computer too brightly, and that it would affect his gameplay so they paused to re adjust the lights

[punkstarrarea51]

@anubis12321 the announcers were talking about how they had technical difficulties wit the screen

[ZerglingDG]

@anubis12321

Apparently the lighting was bad and there was a glare on someones screen..... derp..

[TomValedro]

that estro player looks like some super villian from a cartoon.

[sinekonata]

@TomValedro He's Muttly from wacky races :D

[beenthesun]

02:15 ROFL headset.

아 굴드 진짜 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[cafaroh]

nice trick @ 13:56

[l00seg00tyh0les]

@cafaroh what does that trick do?

[cafaroh]

@l00seg00tyh0les it hides the burrowed lurker.

[z021492]

nice defiler play...

[LastTryNoHeart]

around 22 minutes into the game flash is on the defensive end. - That 3 oclock expansion is right next to the 2 and with siege tanks a touch nut to crack. He lost the edge on his push and flash countered. Watching it - a doom drop on the 11 would have ended it.

[foreva01]

holy mother of... stop being so good flash dammit.

[arpadkecskes]

damn what a game, so close

[therthace]

Solid Flash

[coulthard1984]

sick comeback :)

[lionheart1989]

why was the game paused for a while?

[decedent4000]

unbeatable

[Konkreter]

what an epic game. moletrap.. someone.. plz. make a commentary!!

[ssspain]

LOL. whats happened ? Is it cold in those boxes ??
