LOL commentators with top profanity quotes - "goliaths are good for clearing mines" "they are good against vultures and tanks" little did they know player build them for anti air purpose against wraiths...

Now about the games, after watching the sloppy jaedong vs best i get the feeling jaedong is not yet ready for the competition in BW, his army control was just terrible. After it, i just see Jaedong becomes the most lucky player ive seen, getting 2 free wins in a row.

Mind vs Best - All Best need is goons to win vs mind :D
To be more serious mind throw this game by underestimating opponent as he did numerous times to weaker opponents. Glad for best and Jaedong to advance, but they are definitely the weakest players in this group.

Best has one of the strongest PvTs.... a ton of people expected him to advance idk what youre talking about

Don't think people are giving Jaedong enough credit with the predictions. He went 9 pool twice in a row. Name any other Zerg who would do that. He clearly had a good guess about what his opponents were doing and outsmarted them instead of sticking to what would have been a weaker build. Even back in his prime, Jaedong was basically the only Zerg to routinely mix in 4 pools into his games to keep his opponents on their toes. Mixing in aggressive builds into his games like he did today is absolutely something only he would do.

If you take away those games as simple luck wins though then you still only have the sample size of 1 game against Best. Not the best showing but it's hard to make a clear judgment based on that.

I enjoyed the games, and now I'm enjoying reading the related threads... Great posts by letmelose and others, I always watched OSLs, watched some MSLs, and rarely watched Proleague back in the day, so it was enlightening to read about racial balance. Takes me back quite a few years. I actually haven't signed in, let alone posted here, for probably 5 years I think...

My thoughts about JD -- he really didn't look himself against Best, not his old self certainly, nor his current self -- watched him streaming a bit and in my opinion he still looks really good at late game. So I don't know what to make of that.

I really enjoyed Mind vs. Sharp. Mind made such great decisions and just seemed to understand what he needed to do so clearly. Loved the early wraiths too. The scouting error was really a tough way to lose vs. Jaedong (and be eliminated!), hope he recovers well.

Has anyone started uploading afreeca POV views to their twitch or youtube?
I'm very interested in these it's just that I can't get afreeca to work.

Have you seen best on the previous tournaments he played? His pvt record isnt that good nor he achieved anything in the tournaments, compare that to Mind and Sharp and you get the picture

Also from what u say i dont know if you are aware of how bad mind played in that game.
Btw that commentators quotes i used was tastosis ones if its unclear.
