I think in this this case, ZerO completely predicted JD's mind (Or Soulkey) because ZerO is known to play a more macro game (even though macro is pretty limited in ZvZ) and Hive play ZvZ so Jaedong want to contest ZerO with 12 Hatch every game so he would kinda of play "play-straight-up-12-hatch-vs-12-hatch" esque kind of play but ZerO (Or Soulkey) thought it through and went into different mindset in-game.

However 9 Pool vs 12 Hatch is still up in the air as to who would win. If 9 Pool is successfully fend off by a 12 Hatch, the player that fast expanded would have that additional hatchery advantage (watch ZerO vs Jaedong Ace match). So this showed that ZerO not only thought ahead (or Soulkey...lol) of Jaedong but he also outplayed him in-game as well.

As a ZerO fanboy, today has been a great day. I will patiently wait for a ZerO vs Flash final. I know that many would expect Flash to go for some early timing pushes that will not allow ZerO to go to Hive game which he excels at. But As we saw today, ZerO (Or Soulkey *sigh* tired of typing this) have the ability to play mind games as well. Zero will go for some 2 base Lurker drop timing into Flash's main and stuff like 4 pool and proxy Hatchery plays. I sincerely hope that the prince will finally be crowned after all those years.

I thought this comment was hilarious!

Someone either wasn't paying attention or is a really really optimistic Jaedong fan!

Makes me sad that people are blaming JD for sucking @ muta micro while not giving zero credit to microing so damn well.

Why are people so negative. It's not like Zero haven't taken games off Jaedong before, geez.

OMFG! That's the last thing you want to do against Flash. T_T Absolutely last. Like... no fucking chance of success. You need to play standard and be super-prepared, and only in midgame you can kind of do something strange. But Flash reacts to all early non-standard just perfectly.
