Here's how fast the irradiated muta died. Even with Jaedong's reaction speed it was already dead before he fanned out his mutas to pick out the targeted one. Couldn't have gotten more than 1-2 ticks of damage off. Probably died on the first tick, instantly.

That was kinda anti-climatic.

unlucky irradiate? flash is stupid for relying on such a clutch build

lol don't call Flash stupid just because he lost to JD. That was unlucky and it's not anyone's fault.

I'm sure that build works against all the Z scrubs on KT but its not going to cut it against the best of the best.

you know, one irradiate doesn't beat a whole pack of muta unless zerg, in his turn, isnt super unlucky with splitting them... =/

Jaedong just countered Flash's build as it should have been done

It's kind of odd build.

no, Flash's build is pretty good against 3 Hatch Muta but risky.. just that he was REALLY unlucky with his irradiate, and that the fast Vessel build has a period of vulnerability.. but if Terran can get to the mid-late game w/o much damage, Terran's lategame is unbelievably strong w/ the extra vessels.

hmmm...

if flash is going to use a build that is entirely reliant on a EXTREMELY well placed irradiate and the opponent fails at splitting his mutalisks, then that's flash's fault he lost. luck matters, but his build placed him on the other side of luck

hopefully this will become a lesson for terran players to not use that kind of build...lool

Like someone else said Spoilers in Recommendation polls are bad. I understand your excitement but polls are for users who want to watch the vods afterwards.

definetely an "unlucky" Irradiate to be sure, but JD still had the hard counter to the fast Vessel build - three hatch muta vs two rax? Don't think so

I need to watch the vod. That was too fast for me. ^^

I think JD outplayed flash in that one

The irradiate wouldn't have change anything because:

A/Jaedong would have splitted the must really fast
B/ Flash was destroyed by the ling run-by. He was in damage control mode with the mutas, but with lings on his base, it was over for him. He didn't had the power to stop two threats.
