Flash did NOT look happy

Crying for JD. It wasn't cool to pick him, Flash.

Now that I understand why jd did not focus on econ more on CB vs Flash, the burning question that is left was why did he attack action with those mutas.

Now all of a sudden at the end of all this, zerg is suddenly making more mutas and lings. Why would JD do that instead of adding drones? Because his hatchery drone kept getting cut. JD continues to all-in attack if you aggravate him like this. That's his psychology and the type of player he is that I know. This is however a very bad decision. I couldn't have won if he focused more on getting the hatchery, filling drones, and switching over to lurkers after the initial hydralisk attack. But you guys can't give him too much of a hard time for that. This is the 5th game, the final set, and when those important games go off the rails of stereotyped pattern and becomes chaotic, it's hard for even champions to stay cool and make the most calculated decisions.

Hi guys, I've been watching the ASL for a while, but I just registered here to ask a (probably) very dumb question. I noticed that Light's in-game screen on the minimap seems to be wider than the ones from other players. It is as wide as the observer one, but still as tall as the ones from other players. From what I know, they all have identical monitors, provided by the tournament, and they definitely look widescreen.

Does this mean that most of the pro gamers are still playing with the original BW textures, in 4:3 aspect ratio and with the black bars on each side of the screen? If so, why would they? Wouldn't the ability to see more on screen eventually overcome the need of adjust themselves a bit to the new textures / screen sizes?

You can see that pretty well in this picture:

Jaedong talks about the games here, can anyone translate? Someone else said that he switched his patrol hotkey in the game vs Action so he couldn't micro mutas properly

Surely people would know Flash and such can analyze a game more deeply then we can. This is their life.

his mouse set up was fucked prior to game 1. he miraculously got the sensitivity right at the end and won.
2nd game was unloseable but he realised his hotkey setup was fked (im guessing client error) and his p and q was switched. it threw him off pretty bad and a lot of thoughts went through his head regarding whether he should pp or not, but because he was in such a lead he just attacked and shit hit the fan.

also, id like to point out that that analysis by flash is the kind of standard all pros think at. obviously flash will do it better than others, but thats the amount of depth the game has.
i remember pointing out on tl once that the pros thought of things in the game that arent even discussed in the slightest on tl, that the foreigners were clueless about the standard at which pros actually play at and i got laughed at. nice to see people finally realising how good pros really are
