Bisu vs Free While I really like Free's small army micro and his overall play, the man is wildly inconsistent, especially at PvP. His opponent is none other than Mr. =O, who happens to be the best protoss in the business right now. Oh, did I mention his PvP win rate in 2009 is 80.65%? Mr. =O should handily win this set 2-0.
Jaedong vs Hwasin Many people would like to say Jaedong is "slumping". However, Lee Jaedong knows no such word. The man still boasts quite arguably the best ZvT in the business right now. His opponent, the Red Sniper, however is no slouch at TvZ. Known for his great bionic control, Hwasin should pose quite a challenge for Jaedong. + Show Spoiler [OSL Spoilers] +
However, Jaedong is fresh off his annihilation of Fantasy in the OSL semis, and should be on top of his ZvT game with a boatload of momentum going forward
That being said, Jaedong should win 2-1 over Hwasin.
Round of 16 commences today with a GOOD line up. Two of the five protosses remaining pitted against each other, and a pretty good TvZ with the Red Sniper facing off against the Dong. Hopefully we see better games this round than in the RO16.
Special thanks to NeverGG and Korean Netizens for the Hwasin pic. He sure looks good as girl.
I'd better not see any macro games from JD today. That would make me a sad panda. Ling all-ins and 2 hatch agogo! JD accounts for nearly half of zerg wins on RotK this season. LOL FREE never saw that pic. If only that guy next to him were cropped out, then it'd look like Free had two right hands.
Just happened to find that pic on Fomos while I was browsing for a pic of Free. Figured why not use it? Still pales in comparison to Bisu's and Jaedong's pics. Too lazy to cleanly crop out the guy next to Free. =/
given that JD is probably, and should be, practicing hard for the OSL Final, i expect him to drop to hwasin, especially if Hwasin goes MnM... JD doesnt need any distractions from the Golden Mouse.
Bisu and free should be a good match, with Bisu coming out on top eventually.
Jaedong is wincing from some strong cheese. His picture foretells a Hwasin bunker rush~
On a serious note, I think Bisu > Free and Jaedong > Hwasin. Hwasin hasn't been doing all that well lately, so regardless of Jaedong focusing on ZvZ, I think Jaedong will take it.
Wow Free looks like a total badass in that picture, Bisu looks like he's fucked. I love Jaedong and Bisu's pics too. Jaedong and Bisu to win though imo.
"00:03 Troll : cause some fucker had to post in the LR thread"
well sorry for having it bookmarked :p
Typically, if the streamer wants his stream posted, he'll come tell me himself. If he hasn't told me, then he MIGHT not want it publicized for a reason. Think about it?
I think the game will be both going for standard builds. They macro up a bit, people think Free has a chance because nothing's happened. Then Bisu rapes bring decidedly in the first battle and people go 'Bisu's too good', and 'Free sucks omgz'. Let's see what happens. Oh noes, lagging stream, my internet =[.
Really bad decisionmaking from Bisu. He got his expansion up much faster than Free and only needed to defend another minute before he could take the offense. Instead he took his shuttles and reavers to Free's main, sacrificing the advantage and the game for just a few probe/goon kills.

1500 viewers will do that
Watched PL finals with 2000 and everything was fine.
I thought at the time Bisu's decision making was fine. He did after all have a narrow ramp to guard. It's really difficult to attack that. And he obviously was very confident in his defending skills.
If anything, he obviously didn't expect Free to go for a one-base attack given how easy it is to defend.

Bisu had faster expo and more goons due to not rushing templar archives imo. Could be wrong, but every little advantage builds up. That failed dt rush did put free behind.
Game 2 to me was like: 1. free went fast DT. 2. Bisu mined his backdoor mineral patch. 3. free's DT hit the pylon. 4. Bisu moved out with 2x units and free GG'd.
I'm like "Eh? WTF? Oh I guess he's Bisu after all". So it worked out :/

I'm fairly certain, at least ogn, is using the shitf-tab color change thing, so they are always red or yellow depending on who they ally on the beginning
YES! Killed the shuttle. And damn, that was some scouting skill. Shuttle tries to sneak across the map and runs into an observer and a probe before it's half way to Bisu's base.
Perfect scouting by Bisu. Searched for the badly damaged shuttle with an observer and then ran goons up when free went to engage in the middle and raped the shuttle and then micro'd the reavers with his own off on the side. Betting he planned the "Counter-Flank" as well when he attacked Free's Natural Expansion.
I still find it incredibly awesome how the shuttle speed finishes just as he finished sneaking his shuttle around and began to enter the base with the reaver
it's sick how many people think there's some variation in bunker rush execution between pros. it's only 3 minutes of game play. you can practice it 20 times in one hour and there are very few units involved. mastering the bunker rush and the micro of 2 mariens is not a feat as bw goes
Jaedong is probably fine now. Outsider allows a zerg to take as many bases as they want while only building sunks at 1 spot until the terran gets dropships.
meh, jaedong didn't really have a choice but to go for that guardian build... no way he would have had enough lurks to hold that. hwasin had to fuck up royally to lose, and he didn't.
As a Zerg player who gets owned by bunker rushes, it's really saddening to see the best Zerg in the world still losing to bunker rushes. I still don't get why Terrans don't just bunker rush every game.

Because not every map has such short rush distances like Outsider. Remember Iloveoov? Rush if close, expo if far.

Yeah against Jaedong, it is def. Terran's best choice. You don't want to face his late game defiler play and delay the mutas with this overpowered rush.
On August 19 2009 14:27 GeLaar wrote: That was a close one. Hwasin gave Jaedong a lot of time after that initial attack. Seemed risky.
Not risky at all, after his bunk rush he managed to force JD to spend drones on sunkens when he never really had any intention of suiciding into a sunken line right away. Instead, he took his time to secure a stronger economy, D up and control the game. His timing was perfect, just before JD's Hive tech kicked in. If anything Hwasin was miles ahead after the successful bunker rush all game.

In a situation like that, and many other sunken breaks, what if zerg hotkey'ed their sunkens and focused fired medics, until most or all of them were gone. I don't think I ever see it done, but I can imagine it being good.
for hwasin to comeback he literally needs to kill everysingle Drone on the map then get his 2nd gas back running again while deflecting all mutalisk attacks perfectly
lol game was long over after red dork didnt make rines for that bunker. Its so basic - you place bunker or two on that bridge and you are completely safe
I think that JD sniping tanks was the winning move... he never let hwasin get 2 or more tanks at the same time ( Tanks rape like shit on destination's bridges)

No your analysis was just way off.
It would be true if jaedong was playing passively. But he was playing aggresively and consistantly doing damage. When that happens zerg only needs a third and to lower the unit count of t so he cant move out. After that happens you can fill up the 3rd and start a 4th and cruise for the win. His "fail allin" wasnt an all in and wasn't a fail at all.

JD perfectly countered him at every turn. Mutas always out when he needed them, and were sniping scv's and tanks left and right. You can't expect gollies to stop mutas in the main and defend the front against hydras too :o

by making that extra like 6 lings jaedong reduced the damage.. hwasin is still behind but coulda been worse had jaedong macro'd harder behind those sunks imo.. still had enough to flank and route the marines all he did after that was lose some lings and delay the scvs returning to the minerals like 15 seconds.

if he made rines for that goddamn bunker he wouldve been fine, he just refused to do that thats all
Does anyone realize how close we were to a shitstorm if Hwasin won both his games with bunker rushes? *shudders*. I'm happy, JD didn't play too good today, meaning that he's practicing hard for the OSL.

I am not very good, but sometimes I will put 2 marines in a nat bunker because that is enough to hold off early game lings until my main groupings can make it there.

It's the JvT equivalent of the bunker rush which supposedly Terran can always do and come out ahead regardless of outcome.

Yes because 4 bases and 30 drones is "5 drones." And if the mutas were there, Hwasin would have lost badly.
Wait.. what?
His point is that after the bunker rush Jaedong was economically crippled and was on catch-up all game. Credit to Hwasin where it is due though... he attacked while the Mutalisks were away (which was key) as well as it being a timing attack where JD was in the middle of teching up and had no army other than those mutas.

Ugh I just keep waiting for a moment when rooting for Hwasin is a satisfactory experience again. :/ Not that it's a shame losing to JD, but the other people he loses against and the fashion in which he does it can be depressing at times.

Honestly though killing 8+sunks is not that hard... its aweful when i hear ppl go OMFG HOW HE DO THAT. For gods sakes in almost every case there are epic amounts of medics and +1 to armor helps signficantly not to mention almost a gazillion mnm's all the time. I suppose the only reason why ppl find it so cool is because of how much blood there (most of the time.. i do remember one epic one where july beat a line of sunkens with his mnm's.. easy game to find just find the game where july plays terran)
Anyways to continue with your analysis.... if you think that Hwasin defeating that many sunkens is epic ... it would be more correct state how JD almost made a comeback.. not how hwasin recovered from almost fucking up his ENORMOUS lead.

Hwasin won with what, 8-10 rines left, and Jaedong had more than enough mutas to turn the tide in that fight had he been there.
After losing THAT many drones after Hwasin's cheese bunker rush you still think JD had a chance to win? That chance was very minimal and JD might have been able to turn the tide if Hwasin was afk during the game
