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?? Being in the same group only matters for the Ro8 seeding. The first seeds of each group are randomly matched with a second seed of another group, so they can't meet each other again in the Ro8 but being on the same side of the bracket is a possibility. | ||

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). | ||

EffOrt and his ling/muta slipbys when he's at a disadvantage would like to have a word with you. His 150 extra apm is quite evident when you watch less mechanically adept zergs try to keep up. The Dong obv has his JvZ shenanigans and 400apm avg so they're even on that one regard. It reminds me of that game when BaBy exposed FlaSh's relatively lower apm when he sent vultures / tank drops EVERYWHERE and FlaSh had a hard time keeping up.  Of course this is part of why I like FlaSh:D Despite his lower apm, he wins because he makes SUCH great decisions. His game sense is ridiculous:D | ||

I don't doubt that a lot of people could have beaten Action that game, but I think few, if any, would have made him look as feckless as Jaedong did. | ||
