As a result, they reveal all their tricks and strategies and all of their game finishing moves right away. Once the better player learns all those tricks, he can counter his opponent perfectly and win the rest of the match with no fear for suddenly losing to something he didn't see coming earlier. If JD is doing that he obviously won't admit it, since it ruins the whole point of this mind game. But maybe that's what he really does? Makes his opponents expose their cards while keeping his own hidden, and then sweep 100% ensured victories over them with no chance to lose on a fluke because he knows everything they're going to do in every situation before it even happens. There's some truth to what you're saying. However, you gotta keep in mind the fact that in a fighting game, round to round is essentially the same conditions. Whereas in starcraft, several factors greatly change the gameplay. You have to consider map, spawning locations, opening builds, any of which could drastically alter the mechanics of the game. In a fighting game, your character's move list doesn't alter from match to match, and your tendencies don't change unless you consciously alter them. In a starcraft match, you have preplanned builds that don't necessarily overlap from game to game. While you could give an assessment of the "quality" of a player's gameplay, you can't necessarily predict what the opponent will do in the following matches. On another note, I'm sure coaches and players study their opponent heavily before matches to find tendencies or patterns in their decision making during the game, therefore I'm not sure if it's really necessary to lose the first match to gain some marginal information that you might have missed from studying the player's past games. | ||

And that meta-image is something that is drastically different from player to player, and it changes in each player every time he plays and depending on who he plays very quickly. Analyzing how fantasy plays against, lets say Luxury, does not mean he's going to use the same mindset against Jaedong. The best study you can get is in the real thing. | ||

OSL Finals was definitely a sick comeback though and Jaedong obviously can be the most clutch player in SC. I don't think anyone denies it. | ||

He's an awesome player, is great in interviews, and creates some really tense moments because he's so amazing when under pressure. Batoo OSL final might not be the best ever if you already know the results, but when watching those games live I was completely hyped up. About the reverse allkill, this is something one might consider adding to the "comeback" games. But I chose only to use stats from singles starleagues and not from proleague. | ||

You notice it within games too... he's losing, then he just turns the whole thing around. | ||

This is one of the reasons I like Jaedong and dislike flash, it's much more interesting to watch Jaedong. I was going to rant here about what a terrible player Flash was, but I shouldn't go derailing threads.

It's like "wow, what enormous preasure, I'm not sure if Jaedong can take this" and then suddenly dropdropdropdropswarmdropswarm mutas out of NOWHERE, god mode activated an attack from three sides simultaneously. | ||
