It just goes to show how important the first shuttle was.All game Snow was VERY close to getting a good advantage,but all the time it was barely defended.

I don't know how you can recomend this game. Yes, it was full of battles etc. But booth players played so bad. You can expect such play form Snow, but JD...

Snow should've taken his 3rd when he had somewhat of an advantage

He was spending all of his money on units, didn't even look like he saturated his expo for most of the game. Super agressive.

Excellent game, so tense. The Reaver without scarabs was hilarious.

So happy that JD has won. Please smile more!

wow. That was still MUCH closer than I thought it would be >< pfiou !

Yeah, his inital scourges were not that good. But then again, it's really hard to micro the defense and all of the scourges at the same time.

He got the advantage by producing units instead of expoing.. You can tell he really wanted to end it on those 2 bases.

Imagine you watched this game without knowing who's playing...

...would you guess Zerg player was Jaedong?

Because I wouldn't.

Snow 2 based that very hard (so hard he didn't take a 3rd until his main mined out) in order to get a powerful attack on Jaedong who was taking a quick 4th. Not quite enough though after losing the first reaver.

Still too close for comfort. Jaedong's looking so sloppy :/

Yeah, even though he won, his ZvP now looks very shaky indeed. Maybe its because he plays only ZvZ and ZvT, in PL, oh god JD! please gain strength!

It seems Jaedong likes heavy muta/scourge play as of late as that leaves him with excess minerals to expand and drone up. Still it seems very risky.

that first reaver snipe was so clutch. but then again, with snow's micro, i don't think that reaver wouldn't done much even if it arrived in JD's base safely

so true, JD used to smash tosses, now its only a shadow of his former self.
However the game was nice, low saturated bases with no high tech units, just rolled over poor Snow. Overall a good game, but I wish JD's play be more confident

What a fun game. It seemed like every 5 mins that one player would win for sure but 10 seconds later it was reversed. These kinds of game reversals simply don't happen in sc2

Looked like Snow virtually went all-in from 2 bases against Jaedong's 4. Made it look closer than it was at times I think, Jaedong just had to hold on long enough and deny Snow's 3rd, which he did (barely).
