Watching JD kill vessels nonstop is one of the greatest joy of watching pro BW From what i can tell, his zvsp always has and still is better than his zvst. He certainly has improved though, but lets be honest: everything went jaedong's way today. And good for him, go jd! | ||

His ZvZ was near unbeatable but his ZvT and ZvP wasn’t far behind. I wonder how well he does atm against guys like Hero, Queen, SK and Action. | ||

Currently 1. SK 2. hero 3. Queen 4. JD in terms of zergs. | ||

I couldn't help think, this is the guy who could micro two control groups of mutas at the same time, so his control of one group of mutas is actually just "okay" compared to his peak level lol. | ||

When you are trying to go against the current, one base strategies Bisu play may break the norm. I haven't seen such dominant plays like he displayed in the last round. PS: I must say he might also follow up Speed at a spot in the highlights of this season. Macro and micro don't always mix. I just wanted to say you need to gamble with more aggression against a macro efficient zerg player, but I think Bisu has the most propensity for such hard earned victories. | ||

He failed to impress with any micro plays, and JD and Best were just playing it safe and outsmarting him. He needs to up his execution or change his playstyle a bit. That is what I saw with DeWalt, too. Pros like soma don't have to play risky and make their opponents look out of position while doing it. | ||

Watching JD kill vessels nonstop is one of the greatest joy of watching pro BW I mean, last month his daily proleague stats had him at 65% ZvT winrate vs his 50% ZvP winrate... Could also be that there is no outstanding terran player while there is Snow and Mini. | ||

PS: just kidding. It has all to do with the map pool. Large and restrictive > air units rank supreme. | ||

Dude would romp through ASL if he only had to face Terrans and would struggle to make ro16 playing only zergs -_- I kind'a disagree. I think he is solid overall in all matches. Best is the most original protoss player in ASL vs. zerg - he somehow has a higher winrate in PvZ than in PvP and i PvT, he is the most common cannon rusher, he makes dark templars way more often than any other protoss and he very often makes a red archon to counter mutas & kill defilers. His unorthodox PvZ style is something that zerg our lords often find hard to deal with, where as Bisu's perfect standard, but in a way predictable play style, is these days an easy read-able for guys like Soulkey and Hero.

All they see is this: 4 drones not mining versus 2 probes not mining. 2 drones forced into sunken colonies, which might have no use in the short time to come. Zerglings forced into a forge expand build, which could have been drones. They are biased and they were obvioulsy wrong... Anyone neutral sees the situation like this: protoss wasted 2 pylons and a canon for nothing. Zerg wasted 2 drones for sunkens, which might come useful later. Zerg kept a hatchery alive vs. cannon rush and did not loose a single drone defending it - zerg is ahead.

The next natural obvious thing is for Bisu to disappoint us all and loose to some stupid shit, just coz you know - we don't deserve both JD and Bisu facing each other in R8, in best of 7. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT [2025-04-23] On April 15 2025 20:40 Zografa wrote: casters again unaware that JD had reached ro4 and ro8 in ASL already... talking how he would cement his legacy if he reaches ro8 I just checked this by watching the StarCastTV video and you were wrong! They were aware of JD's previous R8. I had to edit my previous message, because i wrote unnecessary criticism thinking you were right... Xun said: "this is his (JD) first time breaking through into a round of 8 in quite a few tournaments''. You need to listen CAREFULLY next time and not give Sayian and Xun a bad name with your misinterpretation! | ||
