I'd still take Lights TvZ and in-game decision making over yours and everyone else in this thread. Don't hate the man because he took a chance. Taking chances is how you win games.

Well obviously. That's why he's in Korea playing Starcraft and I'm not. I posted that to show that Light could've easily prevented that from happening.

This has nothing to do with taking chances, this has everything to do with him choking like a bitch and not responding to anything he scouts. He didn't even have a Ebay by the time mutas arrived to his base. He was trying to fight mutas + speedlings with 7-8 rines with 2 medics and no bunker. So if even if JD had not attacked with the zerglings and simply kept em outside, the result would have been very similar. It was a terrible reaction and a shitty way to lose a game 5 in a semi-final.

That was a sick series. Pity Odd-Eye 3 is just FFFFFFU-

Oh well, the two infested CCs made me happy, and good thing Jaedong didn't let Light build up on Polaris. Jaedong <3333

LOL you dont think 14cc is cheese? Are you fucking serious? 14cc is on par with a 4 pool in terms of tvz cheese. Blindly going for maximum eco is the same kind of cheese as going for maximum aggression with 4 pool.

What about 14 double expand? Thats s-class eco cheese if you pull it off correctly. Or proxy 5pool (first build second hatch in his base)

WOOOOOOOOOOT GG. I love Jaedong, although I'm a little bitter that out of all games, he didn't win a macro game. The only 2 late games were set 2 and 3, and light won both. Jaedong basically won from a ling all in, muta all in, and muta / ling all in respectively. Ah well, I feel Jaedong outplayed light in set 3, but lost due to how T>>>Z Odd Eye is.

GGs all around, but Jaedong is gonna have to up his game to take down Flash. He has better mid + late game TvZ than Light, and he sure as hell won't fall for early game shenanigans 3 times in a row.

This map pool though.....so bad....

Jaedong going to need a way better mid/late game to beat flash.

The cute shit Jae used on Light isn't going to work on Flash who adapts much better.

Sometimes, it's just not viable to macro a win against greed. 14CC> 3h->p. If the opponent plays greedy it's not a good idea to play a macro game at a disadvantage. You punish their greed with aggression.

You know - If Light could come back against impossible odds on Odd Eye, image what would have happened if Flash didnt lose to power outage

I felt like Jaedong had plenty of timing windows early on where he could've finished Light off in game 3. Instead, he just kept getting more bases and let Light build up his imba mech army.

Game 2 was a bit sloppy from Jaedong, but that was some of the best fucking TvZ I've ever seen. Light's SK Terran is just scary, I don't even recall Flash playing a game that good.

Cheese is bunker rush or 4 pool.

Well played by both players. Very impressed with Light, he's gone a long way, but Jaedong is still the better skilled player.

Going to be very difficult for Jaedong to overcome Flash.

But I am happy these 2 made the finals 3 times in a row.
