In the spirit of heyoka's statisfaction and his wonderment at how quickly Pure's army died against Flash, I found a similar interest in the OSL unit counters of Game 2 of the OSL Ro8 between Jangbi and Flash. Interestingly enough, Flash was on the receiving end of the misfortune this time!
So here is the graph
It paints a pretty interesting picture, as for the first 13 minutes, more nexii were made than units killed. Note* those small plateaus were Jangbi saving up 400 minerals to build a Nexus.
Basically, nothing happens until Jangbi hits 200/200, after which he promptly recalls into Flash's main, just so his gateways can keep making things, and make things they did! Jangbi's unit count quickly shotback up to 200/200 in just 2 short minutes. After which, the main encouter occured, and lots of things died. In a couple seconds over 170 food of units evaporated, as both sides suffered heavy losses. If this were a real war, both sides would be in full retreat as over half of their entire army just died.
But no! This battle is the last hope of Aiur! The freshly warped in warriors of Aiur were marched straight to their deaths. But their sacrifice would not be in vain. After several waves of zealots, the Terran oppressor found himself suddenly out of army and out of luck, as the ancient Chinese General mustered forces with the ferocity straight out of the Three Kingdoms. On this day, the weather seemed to be on the Chinese General's side, and soon, the Terran army was forced to vacate the space platform known as Pae-seu-pah-in-deo.
With this fantastic PvT showing from Jangbi, we can only hope that he makes it pass SoO, so just maybe, on the off chance, we can witness some more of this spectacular form and win an OSL for Protoss!! + Show Spoiler +
I don't care for Protoss at all, it's just that I don't like SKT and goddamn SoO got paused against. Killer
The forecast indicates some more stormy weather ahead!!

Jangbi is Korean right?
Jang Bi = Zhang Fei
Zhang Fei = Ancient Chinese General (for those who dunno chinese history)

But JangBi looks just like Guan Yu without the beard
Comparing this graph to the Pure vs Flash graphs, it's pretty clear to see that JangBi's macro in those games was incredibly solid (to the point where you can see where he saves up 400 mins for a nexus on the graph!)
I absolutely LOVED watching Jangbi's mad expanding and huge macro (holy gateway count, batman!)

lol I thought both of them had a beard, it's just that Guan Yu had the ridiculously long one and Zhang Fei was pretty much only known for leaving places undefended due to heavy partying and drinking. That or absolutely destroying people with his brute strength.
nice graph. different way to analyse the game. the oscillation after the first big engagement were the zealot waves? if so, it would be useful to annotate that!
One thing I've always noted, being a Samsung fan, is how in PvT they always expand at a faster pace than other protosses. They always seem to know when they can pause troop production, not to oversaturate probes, lay off the quick arbiters when arbiters aren't necessary, etc. It's to be expected given that the master of PvT plays there.

OH! I don't speak korean but I feel dumb not making that connection.
