GG 15900

So the reason why I bet on Jaedong is that (while I haven't seen much of him lately cause too busy to watch) is that his decision making in crucial spots in big matches has always appeared to be incredibly clutch. Sure in TvZ you can play amazing but general TvZ/ZvT trends suggest that games are generally in zerg's hands to win or lose (obv v v hard vs flash lol). I though Jaedong was gunna be capable of making those game winning plays but he didn't. WTF?

Game 1 he played a really strange/cool variation of 미친저그(crazy zerg) but it was super high eco heavy and no ling/low muta count. When flash almost broke his expo then JD finally got some swarms up thats when a normal JD is supposed to hold off with his clutch decision making (which units to pump) and gosu defiler control. But then he decided to stop making units all together? I dunno maybe he thought Flash would simply fear his defilers and back off for enough time to ultras but JD if you just invested 45 secs of ur time into making sure you can hold instead of going straight for ultras you would have raped him WTF. Fail.

Game 2: WTF first of all in that first fight u guys had middle right learn to micro instead of flying ur scourge right past the valks and not even attacking with the mutas at first. Secondly U didn't even have to fight right then and there you could have waited for more units OR harassed Flash's main / expo which was turretless and sacrificed the 2nd multi and defended ur nat/main with lurks. So many better decisions he could have made in this game to either take a big lead or transition into mid game on an even playing field. But he just makes the wrong moves and micros horrible. Fail.

Game 3: LOL kid was on some serious tilt and so was I. Won't even bother wasting time talking about this one.

GG to everyone who bet, you guys don't know how good you ran with JD playing so F'ing bad. Either he was hella nervous or something about Flash was in his head. Either way FML.

Time to go downstairs and try to win some money back. Though I was praying for Kim-Jong-Il to attack SK early in game 3 because I knew that was my only chance of getting out of the bet. That being said my karma is probably at an all time low right now and I'm probably about to lose alot more.

Perfect pic.

And I agree with ur analysis of game 2, JD should've micro'ed those scourages and destroys the valks.

Yeah, game 3 was a disaster, but the first two weren't that bad.
It was combination of Flash playing well and jaedong probably having a bad day. Shit happens. I really thought it was anyone's game when they both said their conditions for playing were optimal.

Poor Rek about to go on major tilt, rule #1 is don't go trying to win your money back after a bad beat you're about to donk it all off.

Not that I don't think you already know that or have done that countless times, just saying I know the feeling but it's soooooooooo hard to avoid doing it anyways haha. GL man!

Yeah like I said, I know the feeling... you know you're on tilt and you KNOW you should quit but you DO IT ANYWAYS AND STILL LOSE. Crazy how the human mind is so rational yet irrational at the same time.

I would of bet on JD too, his decision making is usually top notch and he always seemed to have a small edge over Flash when they'd play. It didn't seem like him at all today. Game 1 and 3 almost felt like he purposely tried to play so different/bad to just throw Flash off and hope he'd never see it coming.

Game 1 looked to me like Flash beat JD in mindgames. JD thought it was mech and bought +1 muta armor, then he had to change his build completely in the middle of the game. He didn't buy an army at all. I don't think the drone saw the ebay researching, and it was reasonable to think the ebay was for turrets

Game 2 ditto... JD wasn't ready for bio w/ valk support at all. There wasn't a lot he could do when the valks were revealed, and he did his best but it wasn't enough. It only took a little control from Flash to deny the outside chance JD had to stop his push.

Game 3 looked like JD got himself together and won the early mindgames... but he was so mindfucked from earlier that it seemed like he thought he was all-in, when in reality he could have just powered up. If he had made the game-winning decision to expand after doing all that damage, their series would suddenly have turned really interesting. JD would have had momentum going into game4, and then it would have been anyone's guess who would win the series, just like with Flash/Effort.

But that's not what happened. Flash inflicted the mental pain on Jaedong early and it was enough. Like the woman said in Chariots of Fire, 'on the day, the best man won.' It'll be different on a different day, but Flash earned his win. Sry rekrul.

I don't believe it's possible to actually be so contrarian that you'll do something stupid just b/c someone tells you not to, so hopefully you won't lose more money. But maybe you'll prove me wrong!
