I'd argue he's as confident in his ZvT as ever; opening 9 pool on that map would put you behind an even skilled opponent; it follows that JD was fairly confident in his ZvT as long as he could get it going into the mid-game he could outplay his opponent. JD would have been in a pretty good position that game if Sea had waited literally another ten seconds for the rest of JD's lings to hatch and the flank set-up. JD gambled that Sea would be indecisive and unfortunately Sea wasn't; doesn't mean it was a bad decision, good players always take these little risks to get advantages they just don't always work out. | ||

Lets assume Jaedong hatches.. another 12 lings for arguments sake. I still dont see how 26 lings with 0 sunken support can beat 12 marines 2 medics and 2 firebats, even with a good flank. Unless those 2 firebats get surrounded and killed instantly, and i doubt Sea would be stupid enough to let that happen, Jaedong would still lose the game. | ||

And then he chose to 3 hatch at this moment.He was so behind in economy I guess he wanted to scare Sea off with lots of lings. He probably had a better chance 2 hatching, but he would've had to inflict some pretty heavy economic damage had he done that.

Sure he would have defended if he build like 2 or 3 sunkens , but that would probably messed his muta timing big time with the low number of drones he had after the 9 - pool and would have been behind . If he on the other hand somehow stoped the attack with lings he would have had attacking possibilities with both mutas and lings ......Probably thats why he chose to not build sunkens .... Everyone should read these two posts before theorycrafting. He chose deliberately not to make sunkens because he was already quite behind in economy and thought the only way to get the advantage back would be to defend with pure lings or scare Sea out of attacking. | ||

Really though, JD pussied out. That 7rax thing only works on New HBR; anywhere else I think he has the micro to stop a bunker rush. Sea's not really a cheesy player anyway (as far as I know). | ||

Why is that every time Jaedong loses, people go nuts and claim he's slumping/losing bonjwa status, etc, etc...? FACT: Progamers lose games. He's been playing extremely solid the past few weeks and shows no indication of stopping. Sure, he got knocked out of the OSL by Flash in a convincing fashion but when has this not happend to other S-class players like Bisu, Fantasy, Effort, Stork, and even Flash in past individual leagues? Jaedong's still human...he can throw away a few games here and there. Still, there is no player out there as consistent as Jaedong. | ||
