@@Paul-bt9dtsnow only bearly beat Flash on SUPER anti Terran maps (third world was played twice wtf??). The next ASL when maps were more balanced Flash swept snow 4-0
For someone playing a 25 year old game it really is great that he is so super excited to watch flash play. I totally understand and feel that energy and i am quite happy for arty 🤗
Sorry if somebody else covered this, but does anyone know the current state of Flash's previous physical ailments? I'm curious because just before he went in the military he had (IIRC) a shoulder problem that needed surgery. He was playing with pain during that last ASL (which he won).
IIRC he had yet another wrist injury as well as the shoulder trouble, but it was quite a bit of time off so presumably he feels he's healed enough to return. These guys always seem to be dealing with repetitive strain issues, but at the end of the day they've got rent/bills to pay like the rest of us.
7:30 most people i have seen don’t bother with goliaths in general but flash was like nah, getcho ass outta here with that! His micro so good, he makes the goliath look like it can shoot and walk. Holy shit.
God returns next month then. Edit : Considering this meta for Protoss, wouldn't Vulture raids be way more common since they want to fast expand and use the Reaver+Shuttle to keep delaying T till they build up their gateway count? Or the uncommon fast Starport into a Wraith then start building up your mech army before +1?
I love you Artosis. You are my favourite non-korean BW person ever I knew it all along. Thank you so much for the best news anyone could bring. OF COURSE meta will start to bend around him if he plays seriously !!! YEAAAH
How does hotkey identification work? I assumed it was some kind of analysis of the split second timing between specific inputs. If so, it would be impossible to fake
something i always wonder, how would single armory upgrade(attack) terran economy compare with traditional upgrade terran(attack and armour) style? while both upgrades will eventually be taken, the traditional style means other things like army/3rd might be delayed. The alternative, is delaying both armories, and getting more army/3rd faster. would single armory(fast attack upgrades) be a good middle ground?
Artosis explained in the commentary. When Bisu's shuttle scouted the double armoury / starport he responded by taking a 4th base (2nd main) before 10 minutes to get massive macro. Then Bisu simply slows down Flash's initial push out to take the 3rd base with reaver/shuttle until he can overwhelm with mass gateway man.
With Vulture Speed and Drop Ship, I am Curious why at about 9m he didn't pull a MIND and load the drop up with 2 Tanks... have 12+ Vults on Map and look for a 4th Nexus Kill. Thinking Mind vs Best Style here.
Rude awakening is right! Holy crap! Bisu's 2 big attacks at Flash's attempted 3rd high ground were just disgusting! Very cost inefficient to attack up one ramp and down another into a mass of well-positioned and highly upgraded tanks! Yet he had 70 supply advantage and zealot bombs so it didn't matter! Looking forward to seeing Flash learn the new meta!
I think the meta will flip back. Flash will find some sort of timing against this 4base/only2gas protoss speedlot thing and force the meta back to upgrade terran.
We use BWchart to get insight of when number hotkeys are assigned, when they are pressed, what is assigned to the hotkey, and what the in-game time is for that hotkey use. This creates a fingerprint. Each pro has slight or big differences in which numbers they assign units or buildings to, and when they do this, and when they press the numbers. This creates a unique fingerprint for each player PER match-up. The hotkey use is slightly different per match-up because build orders and units are used differently. You can pretty much always identify a player like this as long as you have the replay file to analyze through a program like BWchart.
I have a few questions for those more knowledgeable: 1. How long Flash was retired? 2. Why he was retired? 3. Why he is back? Is this some kind of Michael Jordan thing, when he loved the game and was keep coming back?
Early upgrade terran is still a very powerful strategy, and the only reason why it looked bad in this game is because Flash hasn't played the game in a long time. This strategy is his bread and butter, he's going to make it work. It's a high skill high reward strategy. The reason why other terran players don't copy Flash's playstyle is because it's so difficult. Also, the best players don't care about ladder rankings whatsoever, so being effectively ranked number 5 - while it is a good accomplishment - doesn't mean as much as one might think. Flash is still very much out of shape and he has a long way to go.
Emergency casting 🚨

The opener of this video has very strong “dad is coming home from buying milk” energy
LMFAOOO🤣. "I just hate to see the poor thing get his hopes up" - Artosis' mom
Stopped everything i was doing to watch Flash.
me too
I'm glad I'm not the only one
FlaSh*
Don't forget to continue breathing
Flash’s era has ended. The only possibility for him to claw his way back to the top is to draw out his sky measuring ruler 📏 😅
Sir, there’s been a second Artosis Cast
Two casts in one day? And flash is back? This is awesome
We eating good today
Literally giving me chills
NERD CHILLS TASTELESS
feels like christmas
I have nerd chills
I JUMPED WHEN I SAW THE TITLE! LET'S GOOOOO
I CANNOT wait for Snow to get his revenge on Flash in the next ASL finals. That would be amazing.
Their record is 1-1 on important series. Snow also beat Flash on earlier ASL then Flash got his revenge
@@Paul-bt9dtsnow only bearly beat Flash on SUPER anti Terran maps (third world was played twice wtf??). The next ASL when maps were more balanced Flash swept snow 4-0
@@tomli447 yeah. But at the end of the day. They are back on a square one.
Actually it’s footage of Arty playing. Wp Artosis, great performance!
Flash would have won that... wait?
so true
Now we finally see that Artosis was right all along. Protoss Gateway meta is stronger than Flash.
If we go back in time, Flash would've won that.
@@falshion1837 Damn right he would've. Flash is completely out of shape right now.
Artosis would’ve won that
I had to check the time/date to make sure this wasn't an illusion!
Next video: Flash reinvents the meta and kills Snow with Marauders
3 base SCV drop rush
Proxy barracks into nuke
Woah 2 casts in 1day Flash must really be back!
Flash? The korean Artosis?
Jesus that was a stomp.
StarCraft truly is amazing... Same units, same balance, but tactics and meta changes.
This game is such a beautiful example of that~.
That 6 mine cluster at 13:40 ... and the way the vulture seemingly dies from nothing, lol
Flash took over 13 mintues to take a super slow third vs toss. He's just like you RT!
RT learns from the best
Flash vs Bisu in 2024? Are we sure someone didn't invent a time machine?
For someone playing a 25 year old game it really is great that he is so super excited to watch flash play. I totally understand and feel that energy and i am quite happy for arty 🤗
Two casts in one day? What's going -- OH, it's FLASH
Hoping we can get some more Flash replays. Flash comeback would be by far the most compelling thing to watch in SC.
a very friendly welcome to the our dear Flash for our cute meta :)
Is good to see him play and perhaps exciting to see what may change in the future

Morpheus is fighting Flash
lol, I love the enthusiasm. Never heard artists so excited!

His micro so good, he makes the goliath look like it can shoot and walk. Holy shit.
This is incredible news!!! Finally, someone is around with enough talent to challenge Artosis for title of "Current Best Terran"
How can artosis remember so many games.
He's like a Chess GM.
its almost like its his career
I'm gona make a recording of Artosis talking abaout Flash that I would play when go to sleep every night. LETS F·"$"KN GO !
Get that emergency blanket on standby. Incoming cold and chills.
Everyone had their fun while FlaSh was gone, now it's domination time!
Damn the new meta stomps the old meta, but also Bisu didn’t pull any punches he played almost perfectly
God returns next month then.
Edit : Considering this meta for Protoss, wouldn't Vulture raids be way more common since they want to fast expand and use the Reaver+Shuttle to keep delaying T till they build up their gateway count? Or the uncommon fast Starport into a Wraith then start building up your mech army before +1?
If Flash attacked him before the Zealots started coming out he would have stood a chanse
Big "you gonna learn today" moment here. We'll see what happens by next ASL though.
Super excited for the next game when Flash figures out how to get +2 weapons on dropships and all ins with them for an easy W.
Lmao I got recommended FLASH IS BACK game from 8 months ago
I thought I was dreaming
I love you Artosis. You are my favourite non-korean BW person ever I knew it all along. Thank you so much for the best news anyone could bring.
OF COURSE meta will start to bend around him if he plays seriously !!! YEAAAH
Great to see Flash back. Excited to see his build orders to deal with modern Protoss.
Algorithm gave me this video and I thought "Flash is back" meant Adobe Flash Player for some reason 😅
LMAO
Was wondering why you get speed first over mines with this build? Or does one decide on the fly if the Robo is or is not there?
Scouting or vulture rotations
Thank you for the superb entertainment, Arty! All the best from Winnipeg!
The best progamer ever. A legend. God. Thanks for the cast, Dan!
I told my boss I was gonna be late for work because artosis dropped a second video and that flash was back. He understood 👍
Hotter news than NaDa's body 🔥
Feel the music is louder than usual,personnaly i prefer it just in background more
We are witnessing history boys.
Flash got excited while watching CNSL 7
When I saw the upload notification I dropped my baby and rushed to the computer.
The Return of the King
What if, just hear me out, what if it's just Rush trolling playing on ladder with Flash's hotkeys?
How does hotkey identification work? I assumed it was some kind of analysis of the split second timing between specific inputs. If so, it would be impossible to fake
TWO VIDEOS IN ONE DAY? LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO FLASH!!!
Take notes RT and you'll get your S+ rank
Looking forward to you casting the progression of the return of the king.
Flash played like Artosis.
So many good News lately! TeamLiquid saving foreign BW with sponsoring BSL and now FlaSh will be back. StarCraft is alive baby!
The real number one question arty gets asked on his stream is "Will you drink Luigis brown brew if Mario snow balls it into your mouth?"
something i always wonder, how would single armory upgrade(attack) terran economy compare with traditional upgrade terran(attack and armour) style?
while both upgrades will eventually be taken, the traditional style means other things like army/3rd might be delayed. The alternative, is delaying both armories, and getting more army/3rd faster.
would single armory(fast attack upgrades) be a good middle ground?
So Flash customize hotkeys huh
Its 9am somewhere! Lets go!
Afternoon upload? FLASH? IT'S HAPPENING!!!
Why is upgrade Terran out of the meta? Is it because of a new Protoss counter strategy/improvement?
Artosis explained in the commentary. When Bisu's shuttle scouted the double armoury / starport he responded by taking a 4th base (2nd main) before 10 minutes to get massive macro. Then Bisu simply slows down Flash's initial push out to take the 3rd base with reaver/shuttle until he can overwhelm with mass gateway man.
Snow's reavers
This guy could make SC1 Terran win in Evo
Oh man it's 2018 and it's Flash vs Bisu.
my man got absolutely crushed

"flash is back"
breaking news, entire top player list of sc:bw loses to mysterious barcode in a 17v1
plot twist: flash wants ppl to think he’s not caught up with meta
Can't wait for flash to do well and more tesagi BS to come up when all he does is innovate new solutions because he's flash.
Rude awakening is right! Holy crap! Bisu's 2 big attacks at Flash's attempted 3rd high ground were just disgusting!

Who knows, might be the fall. He left, came-back, hopefully this is the challenge he wanted and not the one that keeps him behind forever.
Great new, i miss this guy stream alot!
I think the meta will flip back. Flash will find some sort of timing against this 4base/only2gas protoss speedlot thing and force the meta back to upgrade terran.
FLASH WOULD OF BEEN BACK
OMG flash vs bisu, no way
I hope another one coming fast!
I am experiencing flashbacks.
Did Christmas just come early?!?!?
Hell, it's about time.
I hope Flash plays R in the next ASL.
Same. Random Flash was fricken awesome
Well Artosis needs to fetch Snow v Flash
Artosis would have won that
will you be disappointed if flash joined the proleague/starleague/competition again and failed to make good results like jd?
Artosis has nerrrrrrd chills
Blast from the past.
hey, can you explain more about the hotkey identification? thanks!

Do you think Bisu and Flash knew they were playing against each other?
Bisu have changed! He did every step carefully ❤
We all knew he'd be back in a Flash
for once something good happened this decade
FLASH IS BACK!
me: 🤑😯😎
>upgrade terran
me: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
It's about damn time!
I have a few questions for those more knowledgeable:
1. How long Flash was retired?
2. Why he was retired?
3. Why he is back? Is this some kind of Michael Jordan thing, when he loved the game and was keep coming back?
Any help?
Insane happy, teach US, show US , we all try to beat .....
do they stream in afreeca? does anyone have the links?
6:49 / 14:34 FLASH!!! Do they know who they're playing against?
