jjonga's opening was really awesome, but why didn't he do anything behind it? If he just treated it like a super forge FE he could have gained a ridiculous econ advantage over JD, who was forced to go 2-base hydra with a really late 2nd hatchery. Instead...he proxied a gateway (despite the fact he couldn't get into JD's base) and kept making cannons vs. hydras?? Makes no sense to me.

Yeah, the proxy gateway made no sense to me either, but I'm not sure that you're right about the ridiculous econ advantage. It's not just a super forge FE: sure Jaedong loses some economy, but so does the protoss: he makes more cannons than usual, plus he's eventually going to lose the forge and have to remake it.

As both commentators pointed out, simply making more cannons would've won him the game; cannons outrange hydras so at the choke, the hydras are going to get stalled indefinitely - no Lair from Jae meant Jae was all-in with the hydras.

I don't think jjonga made a "mistake" in the sense that he didn't expect that amount of hydras to break. Obviously, it's 20/20 hindsight, but during the game, and in practice, those amounts of cannons were sufficient and he didn't want to delay his tech or economy.

I'm no progamer, but in my experience those kind of cheese NEVER end well =/

Much shows how to defend a 2 hatch hydra break. Probes > Falcon's hydras.

For those who don't speak Korean, at around 5:40 the commentators started talking about how there is a blind spot in the sunken's range and that the Vulture could sneak around behind the Mineral Line and pick off drones from there. However, s2 made a pimp move and blocked one of the routes with his Hydra den. Personally, I think it was luck because there is no way an SKT Zerg has any star Sense.

As much as I like Much, I always hope for a zerg win.

On a side note, man Much played like a powerhouse this game, no more fooling around - weird all in zealots build. Good to see on his part.

I didn't think that build did much for Much (lololol). hyvaa had air, overlord speed and lurker tech before much was in a position to do any damage with his +1 archon/zeal army, which pretty much negated it. At that point I thought he was probably going to lose, but Much turned it around with some excellent DT raids followed up with conversion into traditional late-game 3gas Invincible Protoss Army(tm) play that hyvaa didn't have the economy to deal with.

Yeah when those lurkers were right in front of muchs base and he hadnt even pushed out yet I was like "uh oh.. wth is he supposed to do now" but thankfully he already had observers by that time

PERFECT TERRAN
