that's being out-coached if you ask me. I saw someone mention "BO loss" earlier, maybe you, and it just isn't appropriate. It's confusing the fickle nature of low-econ play which is inherent to ZvZ with actual build order losses. BO losses really don't exist in ZvZ now, and certainly not when Jaedong is playing. Although I understand the need to somehow paint JD as being in a bad spot so we can marvel at how awesome he is, there was no danger of BO losing, just a danger of losing. Yes... he was in danger of losing, due to a BO disadvantage
ergo BO loss

If JD overlord scouts in a different direction, he doesn't see the lings in time, doesn't cancel his hatch, and loses... right?

Thank you for the streams (nanashin) and the LR thread!!

High ground cannons with zealots tanking is something few could hold

Being decisive wasn't his problem. He simply guessed wrong. He canceled his core and added 2nd gate and battery in preparation of proxy 2 gate. He had a good shot if it really was a proxy 2-gate. But it wasn't.

Allow me to clarify. ZvZ has a lot of razor's edge situations. One mistake fucks the player's whole game. When he makes the mistake we use hindsight to incorrectly think he had no chance to begin with.
Say JD is BO loss but he wins -> lol JvZ dongling omg fangasm. That makes it easy to call something a BO loss that isn't. JD has defended 12hatches frequently before. Having a disadvantage into losing isn't the same as a BO loss, a BO loss is when you have only marginal chances.

After watching today's match, I definitely think Team 8's biggest weakness is the coaching staff. The coaching staff of Samsung Khan just completely dominated Team 8. They brought out a specific strategy designed to catch the opponent off guard in every single game. Sending out both Tyson and Jaehoon in the same match was honestly a terrible idea. I can see that they were trying to give the protoss players more chances and hopefully boost their confidence but this was not the team to try that against. Samsung has the most protoss players and arguably the best protoss players as well. Tyson and Jaehoon both have horrendous PvP records. Why decide to send out both of your protosses in a match where they're very likely to get set up in their worst matchup? It just doesn't make much sense to me.

Baby is good but against the two best PvTers? Baby can't even beat Bisu using carriers and you expect him to beat two PvTers better than Bisu? Really? REALLY?!?!?! And Killer is also good however he isn't as good as he was near the end of last season EDIT: I'm not saying they'll get rolled but I would never bet on them against in-form Stork and Jangbi 2nd EDIT: I will agree that those two are 'better' choices but not going to be that different. if you say so

This isnt ZvZ, its PvP, Brave had cannons already up, one of them on the high ground, which allowed him build cannons safely. There is no way you can defend that.

i honestly have no idea what kind of distinction you're trying to make. do you honestly think jaedong stood a chance if he hadn't scouted that? as it is it was only roro's anxiety about jaedong's sunken colony that kept him in the game, and he was still at a disadvantage after that.
i mean, he canceled the hatch. that should tell you all you need to know about the viability of 12h against 9p.

Maybe samsung khan protoss players are just too good rather than the coaching staff .

you can't scout everywhere at the same time. jaehoon did the most logical scout, which was straight to his opponent's base, and when that probe was denied he figured something was up and went to 2gate with shield. very logical play, not even risky.

2 gate core would have allowed jaehoon to make dragoons to deal with the cannons ><

he didn't know cannons were coming. he expected 2gate which is much more normal even as cheese goes

no, he should have scouted with the pylon probe, its quite a difference. u go u see nothing u know its cheese, jaehoon got greedy at scouting with the gate probe in a 1v1 map and lost for that.

i really don't know what you're talking about. brave could have done any cheese anywhere. jaehoon obviously didn't anticipate that specific cheese. nobody else has done it on that map before. has anybody else even checked for it on that map before? i don't think so, but i could be wrong.
