This isn't even close. Pathfinder's horrible for protoss. Tear of the Moon isn't even playable in the sense that zerg has basically auto-win strategies.

Honestly, I don't think any zerg would have won that first game. I don't think Jangbi made a single mistake. Killer wouldn't have stood a chance, JD might have brought this series to game 5, same for Zero but I think JB would have won against anybody today. Unbelievably solid play so far.

jangbi is a much better player overall when you consider his potential/history, he was the best player in samsung teamhouse and one of the best players in practice (some koreans use the term practice bonjwa for players like this jangbi and magma etc) overall
there is no surprise here tbh i dont know why everyone is surprised its because people put way too much weight on map statistics and like current stats than looking at a player overall
jangbi has been in an SL finals twice (if you count GSL) and soo has never been this far in an individual league. nerves probably have a lot to do with it as well. there are a lot of factors to consider but jangbi is just a higher caliber progamer

The biggest moment in that game was that one probe getting into Soo's base.
Hero probe.
Fail drone.
If you know cheesy drop is coming, it's a lot easier to defend. Otherwise, you can't go full turtle mode the way Jangbi did because he knew Soo was not droning.
