It's not the first time he's done this, in proleague Free pulled a similar scout stunt vs ForGG I think. (of course, an avenging Flash obliterated Free in the ace match...)

He used scouts against Hyun as well in the WL playoffs. I guess Free just likes his scouts.

No, players like Hiya need to stop being dumb and get their turrets out earlier. Sea showed it's quite possible to defend mutas on this map even when it's the best muta micro in town.

While that's somewhat true, Sea had a MASSIVE advantage spawning at 3 o'clock. If he had spawned at 6 o'clock people wouldn't be bitching about Jaedong being dumb or whatever because Sea wouldn't have won. Even Sea knows and admits about the pocket of mutalisk doom in the 6 o'clock position.

Dang, wasn't expecting fantasy going 0-2 to start and potentially ending up 0-3, I thought EffOrt would go 1-2, but looks like he might go 0-3... :O

Remember when Effort needed a shitload of tiebreakers just to get out a group with ForGG, Shine, and Go.go? Notice that now he's in a group that's actually decent, he's already down 0-2 LoL

Wow, Sea is on fire. On the other hand Fantasy dropping the ball. Maybe he's practicing hard for the grand finals but given that KT will field most probably 3 Protoss players he should be honing his TvP all the time...

Though I have to say that both Free and Stork have great PvT.

Fantasy can still advance.

He, of course, has to beat Kal making Fantasy 1-2.

If Kal and Free beat Stork, Stork goes 1-2.

Kal would then go 1-2 with losses to Fanta and Free.

Tiebreaker action then.

Guys lol come on, Stork won't go 1-2 in the group. The worst he'll do is 2-1!

Notice how he still ended up winning the OSL after dropping all those games to go.go and shine LoL.

I'd rather call it JD gets a big advantage with his awesome muta micro and (possibly) map imbalance

and then goes on to vomit on said advantage by muta all-inning

I have yet to see an actually good adaptation for the short air distance beside Leta's 2 port wraith

getting turrets out is much harder then you make it sound like...getting these earlier will cut in the marine's count a lot to defend the muta harass. especially considering 12 pool lair gets mutas out SO fast

(not even talking about when T spawns at 6)
