All 3 games lost he was going muta first. I guess we won't see JD going mutas vs Flash :/

They are playing another BO5.

Ok guys you should always take practice results with a grain of salt, since JD usually goes overly risky builds (i.e. no sunkens, overreliance on mutas). I expect him to do a less greedy variant of the build against Flash.

Why do the zergs never build a group of hyds to go around and clear mines? Just like toss clears mines with goons all the time? They should learn that!

JD still making many mistakes defensively. Saw 2 games vs Mind where he was way ahead after breaking Mind's nat, but instead of defending his base he over extends and lets Mind back into the game and loses after. If he had just sat back, defended and droned up he would have won those games for sure.

Hydras are caught by a group of marines, you lose a group what could have been 30 zerglings + gas. Unless you commit to hydralurker + defiler + upgrades, it is just a waste.

What you must understand is that JD approaches training in the correct way. He is not playing to win, he is playing to improve. He is playing in ways that might give him disadvantages, forcing styles and strategies. Which in the short run will give a lot of defeats and weird losses but in the long run will make him a much better player.

In my oppinion this is what sets him (and a lof of the top top pros) apart from the rest.

Yeah, I think this is very true. Though I don't play myself, it still seems to me that a loss in practice is worth more than a win, in terms of possibilities to get better. This is why it's ideal to practice with someone who is better than you. The same is true with many other aspects of life as well: there is usually more to learn from a failure than from a success, if you have the mindset to actually discover what went wrong.

So I want to think that each time JD dies to a bunker rush during training, his chance of surviving one against Flash is increased.

Not exactly ;/ I think I remember mutas (maybe that's the 2 losses xD) and late game ZvT ... but nothing more in particular. Anyways, 3-2 is enough :D

Yup, don't forget that in the group stages he streamed like 70 games going hatch first, but then he went 9 pool every game and won easily because of it. What he streams has a purpose but it's not to show off by accumulating ladder points.
