watching jd play is such a privilege. He basicaly takes the textbook ZvT but applys it infinetly better. Notice how in Savior's days his strenght came from being able to defend as closely as posible so he could spend the extra money on economy. Here JD played the even game, just disabling light from pushing his expos during almost the whole game, each little advantage he got for stoping light, he would just bank it. When the cows came out, he capitalised on all his acumulated advantage and was able to storm the whole map.
The game sense needed to be able to judge at each time if you really need those extra units to hold is completly out of this world, yet JD pulls it flawlessly

A 3-2 win would put JD on PR twice :o
He probably has some special builds prepared for PR.

PR is both opener and closer though, so if it's that strong then if it gets to the fifth set Polaris Rhapsody sucks? Then again, you don't doubt Jaedong in the fifth set.
Also I'm too lazy to quote it now, but I agree with tree.hugger. After watching it for so long, Jaedong's mutalisk micro doesn't seem any more inspired nowadays than that of other progamers. Back when "JvZ" first came into being it was like "man every zerg micros mutalisks the same... instead of Jaedong" but definitely now the other top zergs have sick muta micro. Look at EffOrt vs fOrGG game 1, for example. Going mutalisks today really puts pressure on the zerg player if he doesn't do enough damage, and with T>Z anyway it's only logical that everybody raises their muta micro.
