I tuned in late but seems like Mong played like a Mong. Where were his siege tanks and where was his vessel tech? I'll have to watch the vod when it's available.

Tanks were snipped.

What I lived about the game was the lurker info mutalisk transition. Jaedong made mistakes, like donating three lurkers to mong near his third lol but it wasn't too bad overall.

Yeah this. I mean I can't read Mong's mind but it would make sense if it was a reaction to lurker/ling. In the end he didn't use them nearly as well as he could and Jaedong played very well to not let Mong abuse the Vultures.

Jaedong played like a beast here. Pretty on point.

I think vultures were a terrible idea. The fast upgrade into mass barracks into fast vultures is a trend that works against traditional zerg play that involves mutalisks into hive play. Mong was using a strategy without actually fully understanding why it was evolved, and ended up playing sub-optimally to a style that died out to low barrack count into fast factory tank based play. Light was commentating on the game, and said that all you need to do is the moment you see no spire is to build a bunker above the natural due to the shape of the map, and rush tanks in order to counter the drop play and the composition of the enemy army.

Flash guessed JD's BO perfectly. No pool 3 hatch into lurker to dropping main and behind the mineral line of the expo.

jd has been doing lots of stuff like this lately on stream lately ie his use of hold lurkers in most of his zvt's. You see him place them by bridge outside his 4th as example and it just slaughters so many terrans who just assume they will be up the ramp at his third.

I meant more the very defensive low-econ play, late transition to Hive, creative use of mutalisks for more than just opening harassment (along with vintage 2007-level muta micro).

That game reminded me a lot of the game against Midas on Reverse Temple. It even had drop lurkers!
