I guess it's nice that we're guaranteed a Flash vs. Jaedong showdown, but I would've preferred it to happen in the finals :p | ||

How are the maps stacked against Jaedong? There's a reason there's only 1 Terran in this ro8, and it's not a magical simultaneous slump hitting every other T player. | ||

Fighting Spirit: TvZ: 6-4 (60%) Neo Heartbreak Ridge: TvZ: 1-0 (100%) Eye of the Storm: TvZ: 4-7 (36.4%) How is this imbalanced? Too few games by far have been played on these maps to base an opinion on these numbers. Besides, S-class players often seem to transcend map imbalances purely because they're so awesome. | ||

Pretty much the defintion of balanced. 6-4 spread, and the number of TvT and ZvZ matches is even (showing that both Ts and Zs are about equally confident on the map) Heartbreak Ridge Neo HBR is too new to draw meaningful stats, but looking at the old one we see 25-23, with more than two times as many ZvZs as TvTs. Eye of the Storm Still a small sample size to draw any meaningful data from, but Z is ahead 4-7 in TvZ on this map so far. The first two maps are very even, and the third might have a slight Z advantage. Saying that JD has map disadvantage is just stupid. | ||

(from here) Did you want to play Jaedong in the ace match? ▲ I wanted to at some point. However, I don’t know why but I think we’ll face each other a lot from now. I’m just happy that we won 3-0 today. eesh, he wasn't kidding | ||

Jaedong is 1-0 vs T (beat Canata) and Flash is 2-0 vs Z (Savior, Kwanro). So this map is basically a wash. Heartbreak Ridge Neo HBR is too new to draw meaningful stats, but looking at the old one we see 25-23, with more than two times as many ZvZs as TvTs. Neo HBR isn't different enough from HBR that we'll see a noticeable shift in balance. The numbers for HBR were 8T/56Z/28P which are ridiculous - clearly this is not a terran map and very much a zerg map. But Jaedong is 1-3 vs T (beat Leta, two losses to fantasy and one to Canata) whereas Flash is 3-2 vs actual zerg progamers (beat hero, july, hoejja, lost to yarnc and effort). I wouldn't put too much stock into those numbers; this map clearly favors zerg. My opinion is that when you have two players at such a high level the map balance is pretty irrelevant as long as it's not ridiculously imbalanced. So maybe Jaedong has a tiny advantage on HBR but I wouldn't consider it significant. Jaedong hasn't really had a strong referendum on his ZvT in a while whereas Flash is on fire TvZ, so this series is really all about how good Jaedong's ZvT is in my mind. | ||

Actually the dearth of terrans on Heartbreak Ridge is from the PvT imbalanace. They're all equal, but if you had to scream imba, I'd go for a Zerg slant on the last map and a Terran slant for the first. | ||

Hopefully there won't be another ZvZ final again. | ||
