Wouldn't be surprised, especially with Jaedong pulling out of KSL, that they wanted a guaranteed LeeSsangRok right now while they had the chance? They were exciting games, just hard to stomach with Jaedong choking twice in one night. | ||

I'm beginning to wonder if Flash should just start up a pro team and be a coach, as he is so so sooo good at breaking down a game into its component decisions and chaining them back together into a coherent win condition. | ||

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.

Some people don't understand how deep these guys know the game. They don't just suddenly play bad. There's always a good reason for what they do. I disagree with this, Flash doesn't dismantle the arguments about JDs bad play, he provides a deeper explanation for it. Flash himself says that it was a bad play by JD but provides context to why JD made that play. But even if it is understandable for JD to do what he did, it was still a bad play, the probability of that attack doing anything was very low. But maybe the option of macroing and defending instead had an even lower chance of being successful in the end. | ||

Ever since his return to BW he has had ton of games where he just keeps attacking and/or throwing away his army. He is overly aggressive and it seems like he is so used to being able to make the impossible happen by pure power of will that he can't cope with the fact that his body can't keep up anymore. Regardless of how he feels about his odds in a macro game or whatever, he can not play the way he did during his prime anymore. I was really hoping that he'd eventually accept his condition and create a new style around it. Maybe we'll see it when he returns from his service. I was under the impression that it's the exact opposite and he can't play long macro games because of the strain it puts on his body | ||

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: ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/aAXjNfU.png) | ||

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. | ||

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.

You can see that pretty well in this picture: I don't know of any pro that uses old graphics but many use 4:3 still. Outside of habit, there's the advantage of being able to scroll the screen easily. I wouldn't dismiss the strength of old habits though, as even in CSGO there's still pros using 4:3 | ||

If anything, it would be the opposite -- we probably like to use exaggerated statements to humorously describe how good these guys are. After all, that is the allure of watching professional sports isnt it? The "wow" factor of watching fellow humans accomplish feats you cant even begin to comprehend doing. So I find it very surprising that folks here at TL would laugh at you for pointing out something that should be the very reason they come here as fans of the game! | ||

Thanks for the translations. | ||
