The way you put it, it's like you'd hate every trashtalker that ever existed in the history of sports.
There's no way in hell you can expect competitors to always remain mannered towards each other.
I wouldn't say the queens were abusing anything, but early ling cheese/agression 2times was overboard. what's wrong with early ling aggression? it's the terran's fault for skimping out on defense Again, it was 2 times it was like jd refused to go to lategame no matter what. players aren't obligated to go to lategame It's not obligated, but i think it's courtesy to go atleast to mid game where jd can show off some good muta harrass and win.

It's a very careful balance. Yes Flash's 14cc schooled JD, but it wasn't always blind AND he was doing something that worked for him to take it to mid game where he was more confident. JD just lost a late game, he doesn't want to go there because its the MSL semi's game 5. JD did what worked for him. Like I said, Light didn't put a bunker, his problem. Light obviously was greedy, but no idea if he had no money at all in the first place.
Well, he certainly had PLENTY of SCVs mining away at the nat, he could have cut one or two and made a bunker. The standard build puts a depot and bunker with the CC to form a slanted wall. Light got greedy and skimped out and was punished...

Why? The entire premise of your argument is that Jaedong should use the strategy that is the least conducive to victory. He's not fucking Savior who's betting against himself.

All i ask is not to cheese 2 games in a semi and cheesing doesn't have the best chance of winning

Cheese is hardly a valid argument in TvZ, the matchup of 'invincible' strategies with exploitable timings. Sometimes they just won't be able to stop it.

Nothing cheesy about it, ling aggression is always dangerous when you go for these eco oriented builds. There's a reason why Flash is fond of bunkers at the front door, particularly when scouting many lings being made. It's as cheesy as terran mech (i.e. a totally legit strat with pros and cons).

So 2 cheeses means he just wants to win or he was desperate not to go to midgame?

That's not cheesing. It's called the best counter to mech transition.
And you know what? Even if it's cheesing, if it's the most viable counter to late game mech, then too bad. Maybe next series, Jaedong can agree not to attack with zerglings if Flash agrees not to build a factory.

Just don't blame JD anymore haha he did something and light could have fought it off but didn't because well maybe he just was feeling greedy or didn't give a fuck. Light was to blame for that loss.

Game 5 he went all-in after immediately realizing that after his initial aggression had success that if he went all-in he would win. His style is to aggressively poke around waiting to find a weakspot or weak timeframe in your defenses, and then once he spots it he grabs it by the throat without any amatuerish hesitation. Its playing zerg, specifically ZvT, at its highest level ever. Just enjoy it while we can.

Yes, but against mech being greedy is rather good :l

Nah... Why would anyone be aggressive with the first military unit to come out? I mean, Zergs by their nature are not an aggressive race right?
God bro, early aggression is how u punish greed, any competent player would do the same.
