JD's builds and preparation were good, it's just he needed to be at 100% to perform well with them. He's unfortunate to have an off-day in the finals but it happens to everyone. People who don't understand how variable a player's performance can be have never played BW properly.
No I'm never serious.

Out the 2 finals.

IF Flash won both osl and msl, flash = the man

IF Flash won first 1 as expected and jd wins 2nd 1, jd = the man

But with this outcome = wtfux

Very disappointing finals.
I was cheering for Jaedong but
I would have been completely fine with Flash winning if there were really good games

But it was a big let down

Of course Flash played better, no doubt about it and of course he deserves the title.
Just getting that out of the way.

Jaedong played absolutely horrible. I knew he'd suicide into the wall in game 3, was pretty tragic.

In game 2, did he build his first drone late contemplating a 4 pool? It looked like his 5th and 6th drones came out close together or I must be imagining?

Flash played solid, he should have done that against effort

I don't support this blog.

Flash is terrible for not picking different builds. He knew these builds would give him easy wins over an under performing Jaedong and should have thought about the fans more. We need to be entertained. Flash is so bad.

game 3's hydra bust plan was really dumb but i guess its true losing all your hydras attacking the wall over and over desperately trying to kill inconsequential bunkers is even dumber!

He was so happy after he knew he had won. Congrats Flash, a well deserved title, against a formidable opponent.

Well hydra bust is hardly a build, it's more of a decision. By the 3rd game he really needed to swing the momentum so I don't blame him for trying it. Even if he dragged out a long game and won it, flash still had 2 lifelines.

Exactly.. And I don't get it. What makes JD so good normally in BO5's is that he always have had the nerve to make 9pool with speed or 9 pool into fast mutas.

This game he just played so standard.
But probs to flash for being so ballsy.

I agree. I thought it was so retarded to just keep wasting hydras like that. Obviously at first he had to try and do some damage or end up severely behind, but still. Killing that last bunker was completely pointless.

Exactly again. Seemed like he didnt have a followup even though he have had 3 weeks of preparation.

Hmm I thought it was good if he just kills supply supply rax in that order to free the choke and have Flash be supply blocked I'm pretty sure he runs him over instead of losing 8 hydras on a bunker killing nothing.

uhh... ok, it's not a build then. it's just an orderly progression along a predetermined optimal course. nothing like a build order whatsoever, it's just completely from the heart.

i fail to see how losing with a terrible hydra bust is a better situation than winning game 3 and facing a 2-1 deficit, however daunting the task

Or, he could stop making hydras and drone a lot earlier. He almost broke the push anyway, and had he made just a few drones one round earlier he almost certainly would have defended. Though I'm not sure Flash would've pushed at that timing if JD didn't lose so many hydras...

Regardless, I don't think Flash was losing this series no matter what JD did.

Jaedong hasn't had a good history with going for Hydra-busts against 14CC At that point, and on Match Point, I thought that going 2hatch muta like he did in their first encounter would have been better. But hey, I'm not a MSL finalist.

JD actually made the all-or-nothing micro choice on his first attempt. He could do a bunch of things:

1) Pick off outer buildings
2) Focus down the bunker with everything
3) Focus bunker but use half your hydras to target SCVs

He went for number 2, if it succeeds you will most likely win the game straight away, if it fails it should be over. That's just one of the standard trade-offs you encounter when cheesing.
No I'm never serious.
