Damn, congrats JD, watching those vods was insane. He looked soooo good! The Tyrant is back!?!

It's been too long since I could do this [image loading][image loading][image loading]
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

The ling control and reading of the game was incredible by JD, it brought back a lot of memories.

Also am I crazy or did Rain miscontrol and/or make too few observers? He probably had to skimp on the observers due to JD's choking play, but Rain seemed to neglect his obs in most fights.

Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing game ffs that was the most fun I've ever had watching BW. And JD's smile after he won. He so deserved this. So happy!

Felt like a real strategy game this time, not just mechanics and apm-fest. Great game sense from JD, at least in the 3 first games. So much fun. I reall hope he wins this shit.

And great commentary by Tastosis once again. You're so easy to listen to when you're just being yourself in a relaxed manner.

Happy for JD, but damn these games are so one-sided. Rain looked like he was preparing for the wrong match up.

Yeah

They need to draft him into the Asian Games cup final against Japan this Saturday!

Holy fuck, what a domination against previous ASL champ. JD on finals after so many years, truly seems like yesterday's OSL era and I can't watch it. Truly FML. I love SK but pls Tyrant vs. AlphaGo finals. Last has 2nd place curse.

Best moment: JD bodyblocking Rains army/goons trapping them at the exp with the lurker egg/units :-D
In the heat of the battle only a true champion with starsense does these things. JD is one of them. "The best zerg of all time" -Tasteless at the end of the cast. NO DOUBT. JD forever<3

I remember that moment. Tastosis went crazy when he blocks with those morphing Lurks. The final game was pretty fun to watch overall. Great to see JD on fire.

Its like something snapped in Jaedong's brain after that game two against Snow. Two really strange and questionable games - and then just total domination.

BW remastered looks just beautiful. I wish it will stay relevant forever.
"To all eSports fans, I want to be remembered as a progamer who can make something out of nothing, and someone who always does his best. I think that is the right way of living, and I'm always doing my best to follow that." - Jaedong. /watch?v=jfghAzJqAp0

Daaaaaymn this is the JD I've missed, so fun to watch him play well again. Early pool in all four games = classic JD, it's amazing how he can win with aggro play every time.

Hopefully it ends in a ZvZ final where JD can show off his best matchup and more of his insane micro.

Man everyone hating on ZvZ yet they’re perfectly happy with the PvP fest that’s been the KSL and last ASL. It’s my favourite match up to watch and play (12 pool every game). It’s also a match up Jaedong was known to excel at. Super fast paced and exciting games. Hope SoulKey wrecks Last. He’s significantly better under pressure than Last (who I feel is very overhyped).


Also lol at people complaining about Jaedong hydra busting/Ling rushing when Protoss goes reavers or fast DTs in every PVT

I wouldn't mind a ZvZ between Jaedong and SoulKey. Both of those players are so good. The games wouldn't last as long but I believe it could still be a fun batch of games. If not a TvZ against Last would be fun to watch as well.

We are already fortunate to have had this treat of a Bo7 PvZ semifinals and will have a Bo7 TvZ semifinals shortly, so I wouldn't mind having a showdown between Jaedong and Soulkey for the grand finals (although I'd still strongly prefer Jaedong vs Last in the best match-up of the game).

Just watched the vods and dam it brought back alot of memories of JD's peak. Amazing micro, macro, decision making and strategic choices. Absolutely unstoppable. Believe in the Dong!!

Also I was spoiled by Twitch, I was looking for the full vod while scrolling and saw only 4 individual games uploaded so I sorta knew JD won 4-0 after the first game.

I recommend watching vods always from https://www.sc2links.com/ they upload them there asap and are spoilerfree (yes sc1 vods too).

I could watch paint dry for 10 hours after this series.

PS. Maybe we could add the twitch links under the recommended games in OP so it's spoilerfree. Saw there were only four when I went to look at the VODs yesterday.
