TvT is the only mirror matchup that is actually fun to watch imo. That was a real all out war! You only see the controlling of a map like that with a good mech play. Thanks for casting.
So glad to see Wraiths in TvT. That's how foreigners played TvT back in the early 2000s: Tank/Wraith/Turret with a large mineral bank and lots of turtling as we were too noob to use vultures properly 🤣
So what is crazy about Flash's game is he looks like actually winning even though he lost some point. In this game, (although he got lost anyway) Flash does had a slight advantage on his expansion and production while he lost in the vulture battle in the center, which led to a slight advantage on siege lining on the center. His optimization is on another level so those who don't know much feels like there's something magic going on his game.
I started watching your casts 6 months ago(I wish I could watch your streams but the TTS is just too much, lol). I'm new to watching Pro BW, and I missed the "Flash Era" so I find these streams very entertaining to see how someone known as a legend reacts to the new meta's. Honestly I would be fine with the next 10 streams all being flash vs X. I can't wait to see how he adapts and gets back in shape.
What happened in g2 was that Flash had a 5 worker lead for a significant time in the midgame, while taking his expansion considerably earlier and on location. If you are cutting scvs, at least you ought to have more map presence that your opponent cannot expand on location directly. This was shut down by Flash's earlier transition to siege tanks, I suppose Flash might have had more money to build SCVs while the second machine shop was building - idk from this cast where the scv lead came from, but both cut worker a little bit, but Flash was just ahead by 5.
I remember both of them doing offrace games (PvZ) years ago, each alternating between Protoss and Zerg every game. I forgot who won the series. It would be cool if theh did that once again
Loved the ideas Flash had in the second game. I feel like he's still a bit rusty though, which is totally understandable. I think the whole game came down to Flash making sloppy plays here and there which caused him to gradually fall behind on supply
Idea: hand and brain SC1. One player is played by actually two players. One controls micro and macro while the other dictates the plan. Build order, what to do and so on. In this way players that are strategically good, could actually pair with players that can deliver mechanically. So the player that is in control focuses on delivering via APM, while the player that is watching decides the meta, freeing the APM player of a decision layer. In that way one could see if Light really can consistently deliver (provided that he pairs with a player that can execute his plans)
I haven't played in over a decade, but I used to mix in 1-2 wraiths regularly in every matchup. Do they ever accomplish much? No. But your opponent is going to have to do something to respond to it, and it's generally limited to 2 or 3 different practical responses, all of which end up either costing more than those wraiths cost, or having my opponent choose some sub-optimal army choice or an unexpected expense which ultimately delays certain tech or upgrades upgrades to deal with those wraiths. As an example, in TVP with opponent going shuttle/reaver: wraiths don't show up early enough to be effective against the initial reaver harass, but I've found that once you show you built 1 or 2 wraiths, your opponent is much less likely to continue trying to harass when you have 2 wraiths compared to several turrets. And 2 wraiths are cheaper than those turrets. Plus they have to either put cannons to prepare for cloaked wraith harass as a possibility, or build a couple of extra observers themselves. I love seeing pros make use of wraiths in modern play. I always felt that they weren't used to their full potential.
Love it. Those 2 Terran players really have different playing styles. First of all, Light, very good in building wraiths and built up his armies with many units combined. Flash, on the other hand, he likes making sudden attacks such as drops and some counter attacks. Nice match up.
So at about 7:00 in, Flash attacks with his vultures and loses a bunch for basically no advantage, mines were close to finishing, should he have waited and used those mines first to get more value before throwing them away?
Snow and Light may be considered the best. But they always seem to choke in ASL, especially Snow. I think he doesn't do as well under pressure but absolutely dominates on the ladder and non-asl tournaments. Thanks for noticing how smart and cool I am Artosis! Love you too♥
The real question is who is second best, Light and then you have to think about Last who has 2 star leagues, also Rush is in the running as sometimes as well
Flash did a pretty good job considering he is not in the pro gaming for a long time on a game like Starcraft, and the fact that he surprise Light in the second match with his build...How man if Flash get back to his level of execution pro ASl gamer should be worried.
I think I know what triggered them to not go 5 fact and pump out vultures, and it's that it feels like some sort of horrible coin flip. Sure Light got the advantage and won that game, but he probably knows it's just as likely he will lose that way as it is he will win, so it just feels like gambling.
At 20 minutes artosis says that dropship isnt gonna do anything then those 4 vultures got past the wraith and then killed the siege tank and harassed the 4th base... We missed all the action thanks to artosis.
Its got to be Soulkey with back to back ASL victories compared to Light who went out in the Ro24 in ASL 16 and Ro16 in ASL 17, and Snow who went out in the Ro16 in ASL 16 and lost to Soulkey in the Ro4 in ASL 17. I don't think a player has ever been as strong in any era of BW as Soulkey is right now.
@@Picaroon9 Soulkey is dominating in ultimate battles and best of series. In proleague not as dominant but when its a series, he has won everything he's played since ASL victory.
@@Picaroon9 Are you serious in saying: no player has ever been as strong in any era of BW as SK is right now? lmao that's very stupid to say or maybe recency bias getting the best of you.

Poor Stemkoski kids must stay strong. They won't see their father for months because Flash is is active again.
I genuinely laughed at your opening today. Love it.
Few other channels have a lot more coverage on flash games but… They just aren’t as good as you bro. Love the longevity on the passion. Keep it up.
They're pretty much unwatchable to me at this point...
Only someone with such passion could love and hate a game so much at the same time.
I love how often it just looks like Flash is playing a *conpletely different game* than his opponent.
They are both playing StarCraft?

With all the stuff TTS says, and all the things arty says to his opponents, hearing him call someone a sneaky snake is really funny to me
And people say all TvT is boring.
A lot of the time I'm surprised how entertaining they are, but it never seems to change my overall feeling of "ugh, I don't want to watch a TvT".
still the second least interesting matchup
TvT is my favorite. I hate ZvZ.

Very interesting second game. I hope Flash keeps evolving to the current strategies, I loved to watch him in the past!

“Flash works on mysterious ways”
The good book says that god moves on mysterious ways so it checks out
Love it. Those 2 Terran players really have different playing styles.
First of all, Light, very good in building wraiths and built up his armies with many units combined.
Flash, on the other hand, he likes making sudden attacks such as drops and some counter attacks. Nice match up.
Those were the most equal mirrors I can remember.
So at about 7:00 in, Flash attacks with his vultures and loses a bunch for basically no advantage, mines were close to finishing, should he have waited and used those mines first to get more value before throwing them away?
This reminds me of Light Yagami vs. L from DeathNote anime!
I love wraiths in TvT sm. I don't play, just enjoy, but they always seem to me like one of the most situationally OP units in this matchup.
Light had a dropship in Flashes main ALL game and Flash did nothing 😂
Long, long time I saw a TvT
19:18 missed the drop in the main
woah since when did sc1 have production tab
21:03 atomic mine
So excited flash is back but I love seeing light keep up the good fight
GG thanks for the game RT
Keep flashlightin us
One can simply say that Light is the mastermind (with no Flash in the scene) though his execution doesn't always deliver.
Can someone explain why @7:42 the mine is not triggered by Light's vultures??
Vultures do not trigger mines. Same with Archons, and workers.
Snow and Light may be considered the best. But they always seem to choke in ASL, especially Snow. I think he doesn't do as well under pressure but absolutely dominates on the ladder and non-asl tournaments.
Thanks for noticing how smart and cool I am Artosis! Love you too♥
More flash!!!
2 scan beasts 😮
wooooot!!!! flash vs light
lets fucking goooo!!!
The real question is who is second best, Light and then you have to think about Last who has 2 star leagues, also Rush is in the running as sometimes as well
Best is secretly the best Terran 😮
Secretly? His names literally "Best" 😂
Who's the BEST Terran? Artosis ofc
Great game 2! TvT remains one of the best matchups.
Flash did a pretty good job considering he is not in the pro gaming for a long time on a game like Starcraft, and the fact that he surprise Light in the second match with his build...How man if Flash get back to his level of execution pro ASl gamer should be worried.
Ooooo Good game!!!

FLASH GAMES ALL DAYTOSIS LETS GOOOO
it's a gas gas gas ...
hot off the press
Game 1 ... same thought as Artosis: Haunting ZvZ roach fights...
Wow
2nd game, flash just keep throwing away units for nothing?
more flash more more more

Oh I definitely agree with your assessment about what it is. But the decision making process they have is hard to see.

Are flash and light friends? Real question.
3:33 Jack Black commentates SC???
Vulture wars is like ZvZ lings :D
hello, toilet Artosis
Did Light know that he was playing against Flash here?
I think everyone knows FlaSh's barcode from now.
Flash is the 2nd best. Only Artosis is better!!!
FLASH! AH-AHH!
ok I'm done with this joke.
The better terran players in the world.... No more words
Flash wouldn't promote Battle Aces
At 20 minutes artosis says that dropship isnt gonna do anything then those 4 vultures got past the wraith and then killed the siege tank and harassed the 4th base... We missed all the action thanks to artosis.
Artosis is the best Terran.
Have others just got way better during his hiatus? Or is Flash just rusty? Previously he'd stomp in TvT.
Plz include name and race in title, for easier reference.
I saw the two best Terrans on the picture and I stopped everything, grabbed some munchies and started watching. TY RT! HF Everyone ! 😁
when you shit talk any terran player, you're talking shit to artosis as well

FLASH. WOULD. OF. ONE.
Flash wood
So, who's the best player in the world rn? Snow? Light? Soulkey?
yes
Its got to be Soulkey with back to back ASL victories compared to Light who went out in the Ro24 in ASL 16 and Ro16 in ASL 17, and Snow who went out in the Ro16 in ASL 16 and lost to Soulkey in the Ro4 in ASL 17. I don't think a player has ever been as strong in any era of BW as Soulkey is right now.
If Soulkey wins one more ASL season he will deserve bonjwa status IMO.
@@Picaroon9
Soulkey is dominating in ultimate battles and best of series. In proleague not as dominant but when its a series, he has won everything he's played since ASL victory.

Flash would have won this
I am a simple man, I see artosis casting (because artosisTV is too negative IMO) and I like.
Hello artrosis and people like redy
Re-watch it when Flash lost his tanks to spider mine, unfortunately it's impossible to do it from toilet, but that's it
The incredibly stubborn refusal by almost all pro Terrans to make any anti air in both TvP and TvT is DRIVING ME FKIN INSANE!!!
Flash did not refuse to make anti air, he went for mass wraiths too. But it took too long to build mass of them.
@@ObeliskM he completely ignored them for like solid 4 minutes and got pushed out of all the most important positions because of that.
