Another problem with guardians is it is painfully clear from any game Flash has ever played that he always counters guardians instantly with wraiths which he pre-builds.

How JD doesn't know this is a complete mystery and it might end up costing him the MSL if he doesn't get his shit back together.


look it's not that jaedong doesnt know his gaurdians are going to get countered. the gaurdians were only there to delay for ultras. it wasnt a matter of if they would but when... he got the gaurds out by the time there were only two wraiths, so they didnt die that slow and were semi successful.

u can say that flash wasted x resources in having his gaurdains die... but jd never made more than his first batch of mutas. the money he saved from making replacement mutas was spent on the gaurds, so it wasnt too much of a waste in terms of resources.

the problem was not stopping the drop. maybe jd expected flash to make more wraiths, whereas flash went dropshops right after his first two wraiths


jd could have done a ton more damage with those mutas against an empty main

He felt ahead. His economy was insane. Did you see the number of drones he had? And he had a ton of sunks in his choke and nydus to the islands. He was feeling so comfortable, because frankly the only thing that could break him was dmatrixed dropships. He got complacent, but really it was the insanely good decision making by the winner that carried it. It was a mistake by JD, but it wouldn't have mattered that much without Flash's insane little tactic there.

Wow, JD is greedy.

Jaedong had the economy advantage in game 2 and decided to throw it away by wasting all his guardians when he could have used them to defend his 4 gas economy right before his tech switch to ultralisks/crackling/defiler.

Poor games so far truth be told.


when you put aside all the fanboyism about who 'raped' who this is actually a good summary. Both games were effectively the loser blowing it rather than the winner earning it, no matter how much you adore the winner and think 'he's so epic 1337 pure awesomeness ftw!!!'

I disagree.

I think that JD would have been in a fine spot had Flash not seen the perfect opportunity to bring drops into the main. He even dmatrix'd which was essential. If he hadn't done the dmatrix dropship attack he wouldn't have won.

I wrote more about game 1, but I think that the map and JD's build played a big role in the win there. I have seen both of these games as extremely high level. JD has played a little unconventionally in both, which I expected, and it has worked for him.

It's been a great series so far. You do it nowhere near enough credit.


First game I don't see how any T was going to win once he went for an un-turreted main with sim city to screw over his un-ranged marines vs mutas. It was just a bad build by flash, gambling Jaedong's mutas would either not check the main or wouldnt get past like 8 un-ranged marines defending it.

Second game Jaedong blew it with his offensive guardians. There was no need to 'delay' or 'buy time': just morph them (if you want to at all) in your main and he was way ahead. The fancy execution by Flash overshadowed the fact that Jaedong threw it away.
