just saw "Game 3: Good macro and micro from the winner, the loser made a ton of mistakes and the winner utilizes his advantage to win the game. Recommended as it was the best of the set by far."
And what ton of mistakes did Light do in game3? could u tell me please?

I didn't see many mistakes. Light played a good game and probably would have won against lesser ZvT players (effort lol). JD was just straight better.

I've seen several people claim that Light played poorly or that he made lots of mistakes simply because Jaedong destroyed him. None of them have given actual examples of the supposedly numerous mistakes that Light made.

It's rather amusing how everyone says their favorite player played like shit when they lose.
Especially when it's not true.

Light didn't play bad but he didn't play up to his usual standards either. The only major mistakes I can recall him making were getting stalled in the middle of the map by Jaedongs muta/ling force in the mid-game that delayed him from busting 5. Then the obvious dropship debacle later. Other than that he didn't really play like ass when looking at how Jaedong destroys most other Terrans.

The one negative thing (from JD's perspective) about game 3 is that he may have revealed a crucial strategy (skimping on units as much as possible until he can make a ton of ultras and overwhelm the Terran before he can fully complete the mech transition and set up a strong defense at his 3rd, 4th bases).

So I agree, there was nothing bad in Light's play today, in fact he played quite well from the beginning, then of course in lategame he simply lost control and lost, I don't think it is considered a mistake, I hope he pulls something nice in MSL, then again, I wish JD played as well as he did today, so we can all enjoy sc once more >_<

Thats not really a new strategy nor does it apply to a mech switch. In Light's games vs Effort he got his MnM ball out early to get map control and then proceed to mine up the map.

Against Jaedong a grand total of 3 lurkers with muta/ling stopped Light from going to 5 and then there was no mech transition at all.

Light played 2 very different styles of TvZ against these guys.

The purpose of muta/ling is to stall him till the zerg can get lurkers for defense. If he moved out, his MnM force would've been slowly whittled away by mutas. I fail to see how that's a mistake, that's just standard TvZ play.

And what obvious dropship debacle? The choice to drop at JD's main wasn't a bad one (ofcourse, it's easy to claim that in hindsight), it was just Jaedong being fully prepared and having excellent map awareness and multitasking). What makes you so certain that if he dropped at Jaedong's 3rd, it would've worked? For all you know, the exact same thing would've happen (one dropship killed by scourge and the other cleaned up with whatever defenses he had at his expo).
