I'm predicting Rain and Jaedong to get through. JD seems to have gotten some from back recently. Hopefully, he can continue this trend.

No idea about the actual odds for today's games, but if i had to make them, it'll be close to even in both of them.

Rain has won a tournament on his PvP, and while Best is a monstrous Protoss he has been a bit shaky offline. I think Rain beats him 3:1.

Snow is awful at PvZ, and even lost in situations that were 8:2 in his favour in the ASL. Sure he beat Shine, but I doubt JD will do anything but trample all over Snow. I predict a one-sided 3:0.

Entertainment is the only real way to judge if a game was good for the purpose of "casually" watching, so yeah will look at the vod, thanks!

Rain is the most in form Protoss right now and Best lost a Bo5 from 2-0 up against Stork.

The nature of the massacre that game was a surprise, but not the result.

I would not agree.
In first game Best reaver-shuttle control in the last fight was non-existent, he just dropped it in front of Rain's goons and was combusted instantly.
Second game, Rain had way better map control and Best had only one cannon which was not enough to prevent DT sneaking in, he could have blocked them with units, but his controls were lacking today.

JD defended that zealot attack pretty well given how far his army was but it's still an uphill battle.

Snow is playing really well but he got the build advantage in both games. JD with the questionnable mutas two times this game, I hope he has better builds prepared for the rest of the series as he's showing his best mechanics for a while.

Finally JD built some lurkers. Snow just missed the golden opportunity to just walk into JD's nat. He didn't realise that the entire army was south of the nat entrance and he could had just walked in. he probably was too wary of the lurkers and didn't realise trhat they were all far away.

Yeah, that game was somewhat frustrating to watch despite Jaedong's sound mechanics. Looks like Snow prepared better for Bluestorm.

The German casting is unacceptable. He hasn't said a word relevant to the game at hand, which is in its 8th minute, instead going on about WoW and Darksouls.

You're tired of tastosis? No reason to watch other casters if that's not the case (unless you speak Korean ofc).

Ahhhhhhh lurker vs probes. +12 probe kils. Jeez, what is up with these protoss returning probes too early today.

I like listening to the korean cast sometimes, even if I don't understand a word. They are so easily excited. Better than listening about sc2 and pokemon and poptarts from tastosis.

Slow openings again, if snow does not step up his game it should be JD 's win once again.

The series will be decided by JD's defence against snow's cheese in game 5.

No, it's mostly snow having two maps very well prepared (and a bit of BO luck) and then looking like a baby seal.

Snow went for reaver drop but JD got the first shuttle with the first reaver in it, after that it was jsut JD immaculate defense against the second round of harass, JD jsut growing on 3 bases while snow is still on 2 bases, GG.

Nay, most pros have the maps perfectly timed and can get away with armor/ammunition timings, there is no such thing in BW as a well mapped road can fall to a smelly cheese. In the end, skill (aim) takes the edge in quake. Love quake though, it's jsut not as rich as BW.

I'm not even sure if JD knew he sniped that first shuttle, the scourge looked like they were just chilling there and snow ran into them LOL

Snow went for reaver drop but JD got the first shuttle with the first reaver in it, after that it was jsut JD immaculate defense against the second round of harass, JD jsut growing on 3 bases while snow is still on 2 bases, GG.


I'm not even sure if JD knew he sniped that first shuttle, the scourge looked like they were just chilling there and snow ran into them LOL


for sure he knows.

Wow.
Only watched the first two games of JD vs Snow as of now, but game 2 really felt like Jaedong back in the day.
You just feel that zerg units controlled by the tyrant are simply more powerful than those of mortals.
Incredible feat to make the game look almost even from time to time despite the blindcountering/star sense of snow.

well, im happy jaedong won, but its also pretty clear hes going to need to elevate his play substantially to be more than a speed bump for rain.

Hope he can at least be competitive against Rain. Cause Rain has just been on fire recently.

I agree with that statement and I am also expecting Rain to win their next series, but to be honest if it wasnt for the really bad decision making on game 1 and 2, he probably wouldve won 3-0 against Snow. He was top notch mechanically and won every standard macro game (I don't consider game 2 to be standard because he tried that muta balls which we don't see in ZvP). So if he plays standard, macro oriented and reactive plays against Rain, he could perhaps pull it off.

Flash is in China.... hiding from Rain. Maybe he also sensed the Dong was getting serious. Not to mention the terran killer (Snow), Soulkey (in good form) and even mini (if he isn't having a tantrum). All 5 of these players capable of beating Flash on their day..... the landscape is changing.

It wasn't really bad decision making.JD has been doing so many reverse sweeps in this KSL (and was always known for his BO5s). I think he has had at least 3 during the KSL, even had one in the qualifiers.

It's almost like he uses the first game or two to "feel out" his opponent. Sometimes, he starts with a couple of aggressive all-in games. Other times, he starts with standard and then switches back to aggressive.

I suppose vs Snow, going aggressive isn't a great idea because we all know Snow's pvz is bad so forcing him to mid and late game makes the most sense. So, yes, maybe not a great decision vs Snow but he seems to just be sticking to the formula of sticking out the first 2 games and then totally shifting his tactics if he lost the first two.

It was bad decision making. In game 1 he decided to engage into a reaver and canons which he knew was there with a small army of hydras, this is just too big of a risk. He already started droning again and added a hatch after his 3h hydra was scouted, this engagement came out of nowhere and cost him the game. In game 2, he decided to make a bunch of mutas after he shouldve know that it was double stargate. (I say he shouldve known because he saw 2 corsairs with his initial scourge) double stargate literally hard counter mutas, this was so confusing as to why he decided to do that.

Then, for the next 3 games he just played standard and reactive plays, and he won easily.

What a nice series between JD and Snow, match 2 was pretty intense, despite have losing, JD handled his few units like a boss, like on his golden era!

I'm so tired of Rain advancing in these tournaments cause of PvP. And he is only getting this far because the best PvP player in the past five years is in the army.

Great series for JD though. That was awesome.

His PvT is very good too, which was his specialty in KeSPA, and his PvZ is solid too when he can beat soulkey as well.

Every games played in KSL/ASL/some minors tournament are available with spoiler-free links in the Small Vod Thread. Just go there a few hours/days after it's played.

Can't believe I'm still promoting this thread like the first day... it feels like half of my post are « Go to the Small Vod Thread ».

I certainly won't argue his ability or skills, but as Bisu fan I can't help but be envious that ASL S5 had very protoss favored maps and tons of PvPs, both of which could have led to a Bisu championship instead of Rain. (*pending someone else has defeated Flash for him)

Bisu is very good vP but isn't untouchable. Bisu is my fav player, but let's be honest, he's had many opportunities for big wins but has dropped the ball more consistently than not. Remember him getting roflstomped by hero in ASL finals a few years back? Everything was in his favor, has his best matchup in the Finals and couldn't even put up a fight.

Woah, that game 2 of Snow and Jaedong, every strategic decision on Jaedong's part was wrong, but he still made it insanely competitive with his incredible macro and army engagements, easily my fav game of the series even though he loses lol.

Jaedong played this match behind two games as if he were ahead two. Bring your fire to Rain Jaedong.

To Jaedong
I recommend overpool with your 1st hatching drone scout.

He will not trade you blow for blow in a pitched battle.
Rain will bring classic protoss match tactics.

Go Jaedong!

Honestly I think JD will fall to Rain in the next match, but I'm an unapologetic fanboy so I'll be cheering for him even though I can't be in Korea.
