Calm going 9 pool speedling bust JD totaly counter him with 10 hatch 10 pool . ( the worst thing you can do against this is 9 pool speedling) He lost the ling exchange preety bad. He barely defended waisting 2 drones on sunks and with really fast tech to muta but no economy to support making mutas. JD is on 2 hatch the whole time with more drones and just behind in tech but Calm cant use his tech because he have 6 drones total. And losing the 2nd hatch was huge.
How can anyone who have the slightest idea how zvz goes can say Calm had any sort of advantage in this game
He never did. The only chance Calm had after those bos is to mass up mutas while taking his nat and then securing map control vs JD's late mutas allowing him to take a faster 3rd or deny JD's nat. However, Calm never got his nat up and his mutas couldnt defend vs the lings efficiently at all . After all those drones died and the fact that he got 2 sunks while JD got a spore, the game was over.
Calm played brilliantly though, if he didnt get that 2nd sunk and take off drones off gas while getting a muta for defence he wouldve been dead, heck any other zerg wouldve been dead. His play to get a quick nat was brilliant.
commentators: is there something you want to show through hte finals this season? jd: personally i'm very happy with the finals match~ i'm happy i'll be playing the current best player so i think theres a big meaning in the finals; through the finals i'll show that the true winner and champion is me~ this will be my opportunity please look forward to it
The good thing for Flash is that he only has to prepare for Zerg for both finals. So we'll have a very well prepared and warmed up Flash vs a ready to kill Jaedong. And this time, MBC will have learned it's lesson. This could be the last great finals SC will ever have.
It's more like he said He wanted to show He was the strongest of the era through these finals. I think Jaedong too can be referred to as Him. The only other imo. Jaedong is the best ever.

I agree with you, it wasn't a comeback.
But I think it was a very good game anyway. Calm realized in time what he was up against and showed a perfect reaction imo, his drone saves were quite good, 2 sunkens necessary etc. He just couldn't win because he was starving for lava so much. JD also played nearly perfectly, first of all to chose a BO that you basically never see, and played it out like a champ.

I think Calm was winning, he just needed to wait a bit longer until he had 3 or at least 2 mutas before taking his nat. He just got ahead of himself, only mining enough gas for one muta then trying to take the nat immediately. JD's lings were able to take it to half health right then.
Also I don't recall Calm ever having 6 drones total. And 10 hatch really isn't that good against 9 pool if you build the hatch in your main.
