I agree, both of the games were really fun, and it's kind of like the situation when Flash cheesed out Bisu on Monty Hall LOL

You can decide not to send ovi to the normal scouting path ... but yea its really good build on new HBR. Leaving out the cliff in middle map is really bad for zerg.

yeah, but the only difference is that flash hasn't proven himself yet back then. now everybody knows he's the elite, the top of the crop, and the ultimate terran. (it makes me appreciate his cheesy plays instead of thinking that he's just another cheese ball)

I am still certain a 4-6 pool, maybe up to 8 pool, hard-counters this build and gets a very strong position for zerg, even if the terran lifts and floats back to his main with his rax. The 4-6 pool especially, as it protects the OL, and kills the marines.

Hot_Bid, I couldnt be more appreciative of you making this thread after seeing all the BS from various posters about that game.

It was an epic game, just like every game between these two are. I dont care how lopsided ones victory is, I just love seeing the title Jaedong vs Flash.

The obvious way to prevent that sort of snipe is not to send the overlord out early at all. (Or send it partway, to a safe location, and bring it the rest of the way when Zerglings are out and Terran is contained.) That sucks for Zerg, as they're accustomed to good overlord positions at no cost and still tend to be disadvantaged vs. Terran, but it's hardly an automatic defeat.
My strategy is to fork people.

Forcing zerg to 4-6 pool and you defending it without losses still puts terran into really favored position he have more scvs and zerg is left with no economy at all
.
I think you can pick off ovi on time with 2 marines but even if you dont its still cool and you can block choke with a supply which is ling proof is still good enough setup for mid game.

I agree. I am one of the bigger jaedong fans on this website and I can't help but feel that in that series he was miles behind flash.

That build/play on hbr was fucking brilliant. It isn't the maps fault that all zergs are scouting in the exact same area/path or that pro zergs rarely 9 drone scout or that overpool is a safe but sometimes economically unviable build on their level level. I think the predictablity of zergs on hbr deserves punishment and flash choose the perfect stage to exploit it AND change his strategy.

Nobody even talks about the risk flash ran with that build and how an overpool or 9pool was an almost automatical lose against the strongest zerg or the danger is having to face jaedong with a one to one score in the r08.... I think flashes play showed everything from heroics to strategic mastery .... what more can you ask of the worlds best terran?

Well, this will be decided shortly. According to you TvZ on new HBR should be close to 100% winrate for Terran and terrans should always go for the 7 rax build.

- If they don't go for the 7 rax build 100% of the time, then you are wrong that it's unbeatable, as why would a progamer not go for what he believes to be an unbeatable build (or an uncounterable build that gives him a sizeable advantage in all scenarios)?
- If they go for it and lose with it, then you are likewise wrong that it's unbeatable.

Dude... we are talking especialy about Flash vs JD game. Every strategy can be countered and this is no exception you can counter this by going 9pool/overpool and sending scouting ovi into different location.

Flash plan was to kill first ovi ( which is really a BIG deal ) and just take the game with the bunker rush because lings would be really late. Stop talking about 100% tvz winrate already. There is a reason why maps got updates all the time to fix map imbalances.

You are contradicting yourself. You stated that it couldn't be countered, and in a few more posts said that it's even fine against a 4-6 pool, and now you are saying that a 9 pool counters it?

Make up your mind please.

Geez Im saying that that strategy cant be countered by JD IN THAT GAME because was the first time ever executed in a tv game and JD couldnt counter because of the lost ovi.

In my other post i say sending ovi to other place meaning ovi will survive and you can defend it like any normal game.

You clearly have some problems understanding simple issues
