Don't stress the pronunciation nazis. "AE" is normally a hard "i" sound and its so rare people don't usually run into exceptions. The only common example I can think of where "AE" is pronounced "eh" or "ay" (depending how you stress the vowel sound) is Laetitia Casta's name.

Besides, listening to the korean commentators, it sounds like they pronounce Jaedong, Jee-dong.

Thanks for the commentary!

How does Jaedong come out ahead? I didn't see the upgrades, but I doubt that was much of a factor. Is the terrain on the map imbalanced?

Against a passive P it definitely is (as we saw Jaedong v Stork and Bisu v GGplay), but it wasn't like Jaedong put up a serious contain and abused the ramps with defiler/lurker play.

I'm curious to see in sAviOr's losses, how mined out are his bases when he finally loses. My guess is that his worker count gets very low, but he still has a ton of resources left to tap. Jaedong fixes that problem with tons of hatches, so he can very quickly begin mass mining again. It does no good to secure many bases if you don't have the means to actually use up the resources.

I would just like to add that the reason bisu lost was because the game is fixed. Jaedong has been deemed by the script writers to be a more compelling story so they have initiated the downfall of one legend in exchange for a more lithe and fresh star.

this starleague story arc totally makes sense from a marketing point of view. jaedong is younger therefore the girls would like him better

If I remember the game correctly I believe the following key events turned the game for jaedong

1) Jaedong plagues a large bisu force
2) Bisu moves out to attack Jaedong
3) Jaedong drops his nearly his entire army into Bisu' main
4) Instead of pressing into Jaedongs undefended hatcheries Bisu retreats and defends his main.
5) Jaedong takes down 2 gateways and deactivates two more with a pylon kill while wiping out Bisu's returning army
6) Jaedong replenishes his entire drone count instead of building reinforcements while Bisu's gate production is down.

Really killer play by Jaedong
