I still don't understand how Stats has such a good record vs the CJ and Stars Zergs. Is his PvZ style suited to countering the CJ/Stars Zergs style or something? Admittedly I haven't watched many of the games between them.

Disappointing.
But it's well known that despite its depth, CJ isn't the most reliable team due to its uncanny ability to choke when necessary.

His style is aggressive and very boom or bust. CJ/Woongjin zergs are very hardcore macro heavy late game players and Stats exploits their weaknesses well.

Most of stats losses to Jaedong are slight mistimings or minor early game mistakes like letting lings runby. They hardly ever made it to the mid-lategame and when they did, Jaedong had a massive advantage.

Stats more often will attack with his first units than not. Not sure why you don't think he's aggressive when it's very clearly his preferred style. He didn't in this game because, well, goddamn look at that map man.

stats is just an all around really solid player, i would actually say that stats is not particularly aggressive (bisu and movie tend to have a lot more early / midgame pressure with zealots and mid-sized balls of doom) as a PvZer but he has a good eye for expansions that i think very few other protosses do when playing against zerg.

stat's has a pretty a good record vs CJ and Stars zergs, but his record against most zergs that aren't Jaedong (he's 0-7 against JD out of a 35-29 vZ total) is also very impressive (around 61%). Jaedong in particular tends to go for lategame vP as a default build when he doesn't seem to have prepared for a vP matchup on maps for early pressure (much to his detriment as of late, what with very far third and fourths on the maps last season), which imo is one of the reasons why stats hasn't been able to beat JD yet: he isn't good at pressuring him when he is relying on sim city and mobile lings to defend his expoes, whereas bisu in particular is very good at KO'ing JD early with his signature zealot harass.
