shouldnt have been so emphatic on trying to get damage done...

the genius of this build was so subtle and well done...
it lied in jangbi's assumption that effort had an early 4th already up

jangbi's greatest fault started with haphazard sair production
he didn't even end up scouting the 11 oclock main - right into effort's hand
all jb needed to do was rally to his third, get it up and get an early 4th.
bisu style.

I would criticize JB for playing sloppy but Effort really played this game beautifully. As a Zerg, I shed a tear.

as a protoss and khan fanboy I think I shed more.

That game was won on intelligence!
Backstabs. armies in the dark.
Jangbi had no way to know whats up until he moved for the counter
Effort controlled that game well

Effort play was really intelligent as mentioned above, but Jangbi did play sloppy.

If he plays like this he would lose to any good Zerg

another typical game by Jangbi. shitty corsair control and shitty game decisions. No need to attack with 2 DTs he saw spore sunken. Last attack also wtf wait 8 seconds for templars to storm lurkers then attack if you're going to try take down the expo.

anyway great game from effort, incredible game sense sending in 2 groups of lings at protoss nat. U MAD? PROTOSS you gonna attack or defend

disappointed in Jangbi... he has the mechanics but he just lacks so much big game management decisions.

it's the osl champion curse.

I think the curse was broken some time ago now.

The OSL curse was that a champion does not make it out of the Ro16 the next season. Which happened (almost?) every OSL for many years after Boxer. I think July was the first to break the curse.

Jangbi returns to paewanghood TT. That was awful.

Man gtfo with that. Janbgi during his paewang period had a sub 30% winrate. He's still at 50-50 for this season so get a grip.

i disagree on this part. effort actually capitalized on jangbi's strong game sense - the realtivity put more
pressure and urgency into jb's play and right into effort's hand. thats the genius of effort.

I think this is just what Zerg needs, a revolution in ZvP. I like what Effort did here, mass lings + turtle simcity into hive tech. It's a pain to see Zerg lose game after game going hydralisk every single time and getting ripped to shreds by good storms. Jangbi lost, but that was a nice demonstration of the power of the swarm by Effort. Recommended.

it's crazy because he was slumping for aaaaaages before that... i thought he was on the road to retirement. really goes to show how much momentum/confidence helped him.

Effort tried the same strategy vs Bisu on Outlier, didn't quite work there. It seems he has been practicing this style quite a lot since then.
