I got a question though. Why is it that Jaedong and Sea was in the same group and "IF" somehow they Sea won, they would meet at the Semifinal. I thought that if they started at the same group they would have been at the different side of the bracket and can only meet at the final??

Wow, I just watched the opening game, and it could stand as a textbook illustration of the phrase "JvZ". Despite their identical openings, Jaedong and Action could just as well have been playing two entirely different races.

Granted, Action is still young and inexperienced, and ZvZ is the most demanding match-up in the game by far, nor does it play to his (late-game) strengths. There are still a few Zergs out there whom Jaedong could not have shown up quite this badly. Still, even with that caveat, Action is a pro Zerg player who legitimately reached the Ro8 in the biggest tournament in the scene, and the way Jaedong dismantled him in this game was nothing short of sublime. The final battle/three-ring-circus-with-Jaedong-as-ringmaster was a work of art.

First of all zvz is by far the least demanding matchup. Usually it comes down to 2 controll groups of lings and one of mutas accompanied by scourge. For todays players with average apm's of over 300 that is not as hard to handle. And not to take anything away from JD, but that was not "classic JvZ" but a total collapse of Action. Nowadays no pro zerg lets all of his zerglings die one hold position just because you get attacked by mutas right next to them. That is no critic on JD's play but Action just played so bad anyone could have beat him that day (the baiting of the mutas with the lings was still cool though).
