EPTJaedong advancing isn't surprising but Sea losing. I mean, sure, he's rusty but Movie is rustier imo. Definitely a surprise imo.

Then there was no sSak and Mong got eliminated in a TvT after meeting Snow in the latter's best matchups. Last, Light, Mong, Sea and sSak. Aside from Flash, these were the more consistent terrans. Feel like I'm forgetting someone. | ||

We may not have Bisu right now but my God these protoss players are stepping it up. Stork, Best and Rain leading the charge!! | ||

JD's game vs Movie was a piece of art, though. Sweet decision making, one of the most fluid games I've seen on this map so far. | ||

Definitely a surprise imo. I think Movie has been playing, but he's not streaming. He's rusty but his macro is still strong. I don't think he streams because he doesn't want to give away his strategies and gameplan. | ||

It's quite possible but it feels like Sea made some mistakes that last game, especially with the way he landed no mines after getting (imo) a good position in the center. | ||

Sea wen't for a quite oldschool buildswitch where he got only 1 armory for a quick 1-0 with 5 fact push and then still have a solid lategame due to the early upgrade. But he can't move out against a quick arbiter play like that. He should have known right after the first scan that all he needed to do was to grow his bases and keep upgrades to get an advantage. Gladiator is quite a hard map to defend recalls on though. | ||

That sais a lot about the lengths they take to stop Flash. Do you think anyone knew how the island map would play out though? That map is so wacko. My heart still pounds when Jaedong plays. He also hit me with some nostalgia when he chose the theme song from 2009 bacchus osl for his introduction. | ||

2. I'm both a Larva and Jaedong fan. But I really don't know what to think of Larva choosing Jaedong for his group. Does he think he can win against Jaedong on a ZvZ any day? I know he's not in the old days Tyrant form now, but still, a top zerg on a risky matchup.. | ||

Even in cross positions, I feel as if a standard 10/10/10 with 2 tanks and 8 marines would have been a lot better, specially given the relatively fast observers.

Gladiator is quite a hard map to defend recalls on though. Thanks for the insight. I still wonder why he took no measures to protect against recalls - I have to watch the game again, but I don't think there were any mines or turrets. Moreover, the late third meant Movie was free to fly in both from south and west. Maybe I'm not giving enough credit to Movie - the group of goons that Sea trapped just before the first recall maybe was some sort of bait to lure the mech ball further out and recall the production with relative impunity. Hitting the armory and denying the 2/0 was also a very nice move. I totally agree that Sea needed to expand and turtle up against recalls, upgrade to 2/1 and push later. If I recall correctly, his arbiter defense has been a blind spot before - he was utterly demolished by Best in ASL2 and was at a disadvantage in another game of the same series, but then Best inexplicably switched to carriers. | ||
