You gave me a heart attack thinking I missed this cast lol. Can't afford to miss TBLS games. Jaedong 3-1. I believe his practice in the past couple of weeks will be he deciding factor. Stork's PvZ is pretty lackluster but the meta has recently been favoring Protoss more and more so we'll see. | ||

I hope Jaedong doesn't play overly aggressive and doesn't risk all in /low drone builds. The think that would be a mistake against someone like Stork. | ||

JD's ceiling is higher than Stork's, plus he's more 'clutch' mentally... but I think JD is further away from his ceiling right now than Stork is. Remember how Best clobbered him not once, but twice in this tourney already (Best is playing out of his mind right now, but still). I'll take Stork in 5 games. But it should be a nail-biter. Would be nice to see a long, back-and-forth series. | ||

Somehow I feel nervous because it is Storku. I stopped watching streams due to lack of time. Who has been watching his PvZ streams lately? | ||

I also noticed that Jaedong seems to have much much better ZvP on stream, but so far he hasn't been able to show that in official games. The other thing is that Stork's PvZ looked completely pedestrian even at his peak as a player, yet he somehow had a 12-11 record against Jaedong professionally. I think 3-2, but no idea who will clutch it out. | ||

APM, practice, researching goon range, these are crutches. He needs only destiny and fate to forge his way forward, once again as the leader of his race. Stork is the supreme commander. Victory after victory. So what you're saying is cyber core upgrades arent important but forge upgrades are. Thank god for +1 speedlot timings. | ||

I actually want Stork to win, because I think he can give Flash a better challenge than JD currently can. Even if JD is much more deserving, fuck hard work. Flash in an interview once mentioned that he thought it's insulting when they call him talented, because he works so so hard. Well I think just like talent, hard work can only get you so far. (Even if it's mere to wanting to have an excuse for my own shortcomings). So go talent! Stork <3 As for Flash he is my prime example of what happens when talent meets hard work. Or is he an example when through hard work you can become talented? Hmmmm... | ||

This is so different. JD knows his ZvP. I think this is JD's series to lose. He lost to Best, but so did Hero, who is considered the best zerg right now, and more or less a ZvP specialist. Stork is not Best. But I hope to be proven wrong, because I have always liked Stork as a player, and maybe Stork doing well could bring Daniel the austrian out of the woodwork. And if he's in form, Stork vs Flash would be equally epic to Flash vs JD. | ||

Also imo its not good against a 9 gate forge nexus controlled by someone like bisu. You're oversimplifying the match up. | ||

Also imo its not good against a 9 gate forge nexus controlled by someone like bisu. You're oversimplifying the match up. Back then, 9 Pool was a noob filter in ZvP on ICCup. Protoss players who wouldn't scout it as 9 pool but Overpool and go nex before cannon off of that would just lose. However, if the protoss scouts it correctly and builds a cannon before nex, he is slightly ahead. | ||

He cannot scout if zerglings are preventing him from sending out more probes. Then what do he do? Just hope the zerg does not just go kill him like he did in that game? | ||

If Jaedong heard DTs/didn't see the DA, he would have an overlord immediately rallied towards his army. Its not like Stork has corsairs or a glut of dragoons that eliminating overlords was a serious option, the dude barely had army and only carved through Jaedong's army at the end because Jaedong sat on every storm Stork cast. Stork was already toast, the Dark Archon could at least possible catch a whole lot of hydras clumped together. | ||

The storms were all pretty bad because JD baited them out with his flanks. He got barely hit. In the final engagement he didn't even micro anymore so 2-3 storms hit. By that point it was over anyways. | ||

On tiny harassment groups doing trivial damage. I thought stork would do well because of all his practice games, but it seems his practice partners have a ways to go to equal the JD experience. | ||

He was hoping for muta switch, mael and storm was the ONLY way to try to recover this game (if he had killed like 8-10 stacked muta). Unfortunately....JD kept pumping pure hydras....but still maelstrom and storm was (almost) only option imho. DT play was too late...right decision from Stork. Basically when u have 3 lings in main ....P psichology collapse. | ||

I thought most Ro8 games were better than the Hosic games because players were much more prepared. In Hosic it was just improvisation that often ended up in weird games. That's ok but I personally don't enjoy the uncontrolled chaos. I like controlled chaos the most but we didn't really get much of that, either. | ||

I don't think hes played many straight up macro games because of decisions made on both sides, when I look at Flash's games he seems mechanically underwhelming. Flash has to put in more work than he is already, the last 'macro' game was basically a joke/gesture, stork was pitiful. | ||

Funny thing is that Jaedong crushed Stork and Flash probably will crush Jaedong while everyone agrees that Flash (despite playing good) is nowhere near his prime. BW needs some new blood to challenge the old players. So when is the round of 4 happening? | ||

Any insight on this? that game was pretty much over when JD got 3 lings in and started doing dmg after speed kicked in About his zealot pre +1 timing, Stork probably doesnt have too much experience vs 5 hatch no lair. He wanted to move out and have +1 by the time he got to JD's 3rd (bit greedy but he prolly felt like he needed to do something after the ling harass), JD skipped lair and massed way faster tho (faster hatches, faster production etc.). But yea, losing those zealots was the nail in the coffin.. | ||

Well way more surprising is Jaedong having 2 control groups of zerglings to counter that. If JD would have straight up gone hydra instead, he would have lost that. Stork was greedy in the timing and JD read that perfectly. Stork moving out that early wasn't that big of a mistake, rather JD countering the attack perfectly. | ||

I think it was kinda of both tbh. Jaedong played safe and reacted well in the first game, played the usual in the second (Stork didn't really scout and played in the dark) then easily overwhelmed in the macro game while Stork opted for 2 base (kinda all-inish considering he put it all into one attack). | ||

Well, all in all we can all agree that BW is perfectly balanced: RO4 consists of 1 zerg, 1 protoss, 1 terran and  Flash.Can't wait for LeeSsangRok! | ||

At that point, JD was so far ahead economically that he could have build those zerglings anyways and just deny Stork's 3rd while sitting comfortably on 4 bases and tech up.

In game 1 Stork microing his zealots really bad and losing them without doing any damage. After the first attempt and lings runing into his base he shouldve stayed close to jaedongs base and send 2 zealots to block ramp and dont attack or gather more zealots and attack, simply because he had so many probes compared to jaedongs drones, so continuing the game was actually getting him ahead, he was super nervious and did the opposite to end things faster resulting in his own defeat. Game 2 is another low level stomp, that is sad to watch. Stork not scouting at all if jaedong going to hydra bust him or not and that is basic thing for pvz match up... Not gonna watch game 3, stork just came on stage to throw games and peoples expectaions to trash. Guess il not root for him next time. | ||

Series was disappointing. :\ The first and third games were exceptionally bad -- hope Stork's micro with his date is better than the micro he showed in the games. edit: The madman is STILL streaming with his qt date from his car wth, almost 18k viewers! | ||

Best Part Chat: Why did you keep pumping zerglings even though you didn't scout proxy 2 gates? JaeDong: I get chills when the opponent does something funky. That's exactly what Flash said too! the "Chills" He also explained why he went hydra all-in in second game. "I couldn't kill the probe fast enough. I killed it after speed upgrade was finished. Right when the probe died, my drones hatched. Stork saw it. At that moment only thing protoss can think that the zerg is getting third hatchery, taking an expo. So I pulled back the drone i sent to get expo and decided to go hydra all in." Third game. When I saw that the probe and zealot position terrible I clicked his base right away with lings. When my 3 lings were running around in his base, Stork's best choice would have been leaving 1 zeolot behind and sending 3 zealots out. That puts me in a bad spot. But, Stork knew that I like getting lings early and killing zealots in the middle of the map so he didn't. I knew that he knew that i like getting zerglings. So i just kept on pumping out drones and building hatcheries. At that point, I couldn't lose the game. JD was in Stork's head entire series. JD explained it with more details especially about protoss's pysche and, it really showed why he never loses to Protoss in bo5. JD also said that he built spire just to show it Stork. "Stork knows I love getting mutas mid game. I knew he knew that. So I decided to get none and Stork built cannons and DA bc of it. Which put him more behind." Basically JD did everything he normally doesn't do and Stork prepared accordingly to what JD normally does. | ||

Jaedongs control looked really good today. If he can create some fancy/confusing scenarios in those games, he can beat Flash. In Standard tvz Flashs greatness together with the Terran advantage in the matchup, Flash cannot be beaten. JD is very good in getting into people's heads though. | ||

We probably miss a lot of stuff. That's why it's great to have player interviews after the game. Even better would be a good analytical caster that plays/played at a high level and has a lot of in-depth knowledge (no offense to the casters). Some people might remember when Idra casted some games in some SC2 cup. You can think about him what you want but the cast was fucking great. He explained so many small timings/details and decisions that were made off of that it really enhanced (my) enjoyment watching the games immensely. | ||

"Stork knows I love getting mutas mid game. I knew he knew that. So I decided to get none and Stork built cannons and DA bc of it. Which put him more behind." Basically JD did everything he normally doesn't do and Stork prepared accordingly to what JD normally does. Thanks for the translation. It really makes perfect sense. JD mindfucking an already low confidence Stork leads to a series like that. He just outplayed him. Stork did a damn good job, but I don't think he had a chance to beat JD today. Another day perhaps Stork! Keep fighting! :D | ||

Even better would be a good analytical caster that plays/played at a high level and has a lot of in-depth knowledge (no offense to the casters). Some people might remember when Idra casted some games in some SC2 cup. You can think about him what you want but the cast was fucking great. He explained so many small timings/details and decisions that were made off of that it really enhanced (my) enjoyment watching the games immensely. Flash analyzed his games and it really showed how much the casters missed and how wrong they were sometimes (especially about who's ahead in certain points). They should really hire Zeus for ASL. Zeus was on point about basically everything. | ||

"I couldn't kill the probe fast enough. I killed it after speed upgrade was finished. Right when the probe died, my drones hatched. Stork saw it. At that moment only thing protoss can think that the zerg is getting third hatchery, taking an expo. So I pulled back the drone i sent to get expo and decided to go hydra all in." Third game. When I saw that the probe and zealot position terrible I clicked his base right away with lings. When my 3 lings were running around in his base, Stork's best choice would have been leaving 1 zeolot behind and sending 3 zealots out. That puts me in a bad spot. But, Stork knew that I like getting lings early and killing zealots in the middle of the map so he didn't. I knew that he knew that i like getting zerglings.

Stork didn't play very well, but he didn't play nowhere near as bad as JD made it look. One thing that bothers me though that I see a lot is when you have 3-4 lings in your main, why not build 1 cannon near your mineral line to protect the probes? You want a cannon in your main anyway later for scourge and muta deflection and it doesn't set your back that much I would think. I know at the elite level every little bit count and a cannon in your main means less army for you and you should be able to micro your zealot to keep the lings from doing any damage but it just seems a bit stubborn to me. | ||

He has had less exposure to BW in 2016 than any ASL Ro24 (28 actual) player. And he made top 8. That's a good sign. That's a great sign. Are you kidding? Of 28 players, the player with THE LEAST PRACTICE IN THE PAST 4+ YEARS, advanced deeper than 20 of them, and only 4 players made it further than him. Jaedong said before the game that Stork needs more practice, and why not take him at his word? JD's extra months paid off. Even in December JD looked much more questionable than this month. But JD has 6+ months of extra BW. It's a matter of investment. Lessons NOT to take: 1) He doesn't need practice -Quite the opposite. While even in Kespa days he sometimes was known for less then stellar dedication at times (forgive me if I'm dead wrong, but the WoW practice was well known here), the top 4 have more practice and that's a big reason why they advanced further than him. 2)It's hopeless -It's the other way around, again. To reiterate, he was better than 20, only 4 did better than him. As time goes on, the months Stork is behind will narrow. Stork has fractions of the practice now of any of the top 28. As 2017 advances, and beyond, fractions become just a few percent. He has more hope than almost any of them based on this alone. I'd love to get a message to Stork and give him my encouragement. He got outplayed, hard, but he has so much potential even as one of the oldest players left in BW. I can't wait to see him next ASL, if he'll play. | ||

I feel like the comments he's been making recently indicate he's just not up for trying so hard to be the best at BW as much as just being a successful BJ. He probably won't leave the scene, but it seems he wants to find some other way to stay relevant and make a living. I can't blame him, though of course I hope it's just his way of expressing his disappointment about his recent performance; I think he's even more of a defeatist than Guemchi and undermines what he can do.

The reason specifically pros dont like getting a cannon in their main base is because: 1) they're generally confident enough in their micro to keep their probes alive to stall for mismicros from the zerg to allow zealots and probes to kill them off. 2) The early game cannon is 150 minerals. That's 3 probes, or a probe and a zealot. In the early game, it's quite a bit of money which is sorely lost. The cannon can be built later where losing 150 minerals to defend your main from zerg air won't be noticeable but in the early game, 150 minerals is very noticeable. It's like saying why doesnt a zerg just build a preemptive sunken/spore in his main in the early game, or for terran to build a preemptive bunker in their main. Because the money is too important spent on other things. | ||

I'd love to see him take more golds before he goes away -- I think he's good for another play-my-heart-out run. edit: Also can someone clarify all the details about the crowdfunding? I think it's shady to announce it so late in the tournament, especially if it affects earnings/prize pool. AFAIK the crowdfunding is only for the finals venue. Nothing to do with earnings. | ||

Err tons, before Sayle was even a thing. I forgot most of them because I only watched casted replays of them on youtube. I would put Kiante above in for the sake of naming one. Don't get me wrong, I love Sayle's casting and would like to have him back. I just don't think he was the best ever at all. | ||

As I said, I liked his casting for the exact same reasons you did. However, there were better casters than him but those did not cast live events for the most part and were mostly gone when Sayle was very active. Sayle was C on ICCup, of course he wouldn't know every detail some A-player might know. That doesn't make him a bad caster. I just spoke out against praising him as the best caster ever, which is indeed quite short-sighted in my opinion. | ||

Btw you still haven't actually named one that is better than Sayle, other then saying "I will just say Kiante for the sake of naming one". And those others were so amazing that you actually forgotten their names? Interesting. | ||

I rarely can remember names, especially when it's close to 10 years ago and I was just watching random VoDs on youtube. The major reasons I can remember Sayle's name is because he was much more recent as well as being much more prevalent, as in he casted tons of games on end in a time frame where he was basically the only english caster of relevance. I really admire him for his effort back then. Irrc the whole Gem League casters were pretty good when they actually decided to cast seriously. | ||

JaeDong: I get chills when the opponent does something funky. That's exactly what Flash said too! the "Chills" He also explained why he went hydra all-in in second game. "I couldn't kill the probe fast enough. I killed it after speed upgrade was finished. Right when the probe died, my drones hatched. Stork saw it. At that moment only thing protoss can think that the zerg is getting third hatchery, taking an expo. So I pulled back the drone i sent to get expo and decided to go hydra all in." Third game. When I saw that the probe and zealot position terrible I clicked his base right away with lings. When my 3 lings were running around in his base, Stork's best choice would have been leaving 1 zeolot behind and sending 3 zealots out. That puts me in a bad spot. But, Stork knew that I like getting lings early and killing zealots in the middle of the map so he didn't. I knew that he knew that i like getting zerglings. So i just kept on pumping out drones and building hatcheries. At that point, I couldn't lose the game. JD was in Stork's head entire series. JD explained it with more details especially about protoss's pysche and, it really showed why he never loses to Protoss in bo5. JD also said that he built spire just to show it Stork. "Stork knows I love getting mutas mid game. I knew he knew that. So I decided to get none and Stork built cannons and DA bc of it. Which put him more behind." Basically JD did everything he normally doesn't do and Stork prepared accordingly to what JD normally does. Man this is so sick. The double bluffs on double bluffs. Can't wait for JvF. Its gonna be insane. I'm still bitter about the 3 14ccs Flash pulled on Jaedong during 2010 Hana Daetoo MSL.. | ||

I found Nuke to be irritating and ignorant but at least enthusiastic. I think to say Sayle is the greatest is focusing way too much on the more recent years of BW and ignoring its peak. Though Sayle does deserve huge props for continuing to cast as SC2 threatened the scene. Tasteless, Artosis, Chill and Day9 all did some amazing TSL casts. I don't get the Tastosis hate too, they were fairly high level players back in the day and knew what they were talking about. I feel like the years of SC2 and loss of passion maybe make people forget how good Tasteless was back in the GOMtv era. | ||

Thats not a contradiction though. He was a humble guy who acted as if he didnt know much but whenever he made a guess he was usually spot on. Even when he was false it was because there were shenanigans going on. And when he was not sure or really didnt know he didnt pretend, he told the truth and asked the chat or watched as the madness unfolded. With Tastosis I get the feeling like these can not admit mistakes. They make so many bad calls, which is not that much of a problem, but they act like what they said is still correct even if it is clearly not. That is one of my biggest gripes with these two.

Yet it shouldn't be a point for them casting nowadays that they once had deep knowledge if they can't back it up anymore A good example is the recent giga legends matches. Both Sayle and Tastosis casted these. If you watch both casts you will realize that both got rusty but Sayle handled it better. While Tastosis called wrong moves or build orders Sayle said he is not sure and instead tried to speculate. The difference is that Sayle was upfront about it and didnt pretend. That makes a big difference to me. | ||
