Lot of hype for JD's PvZ but I am suspicious how much is nostalgia. | ||

However, if Mach 10 Mini shows up it could go the other way. He'll come up out of the ground like Arnie did in Eraser with the 2 rail guns, and just go off. Or like Robocop in the cocaine factory, when he shat on everyone with that absurd auto-aim. Making Flash look like one of those SC University chicks. We've seen it before vs Barracks that one season, or when he Black-Widow-crotch-tackled soma with the cair micro, but lost anyway cuz apologize for playing that race. Today could be a SwiftSadge, or it could be a ThumpGiggle. Maybe even a 4KappaPrideJam. But never a GIGABooba. Now i'm rdy for start game. And plz be gg. | ||

I felt like this during KeSPA era at some point. Every damn PvT seemed the same. It tends to be the case when meta stops evolving and is idling until the next change starts. And this is why it's so important to have some new maps each ASL. | ||

The sneak zeal attack+ramp block game 1. The anticipation and defence of the all in game two and zoning of the slow overlords game 2 to set up the DT drop. And the early third to bait JD into attacking while he drops DTs. Just brilliant decision making. Mini had JD on his heels all the time. Never allowed him to get comfortable. | ||

You could see after game 1 (their second of the day) that JD was over letting Mini set the pace of the games. The ling/hydra all in was pretty obviously coming as it at least would allow JD to dictate proceedings and get into his hydra pump. But mini just never let him relax. I really loved the quick third from Mini. Such a ballsy but smart play to pair with the DT drop. | ||

It all depends how the bracket plays out tbh. But the only player that give me Aura of no losing to nobody except Soulkey is Snow. Soma is probably the only one left who is better than Snow (at least in ZvP). I don’t see Snow beating Soma bo7 but he prob has an edge against any other player on the ro8. I think prob Soma, Snow, Light is probably top 3 in that order. I think Mini can win it too but his PvP is shaky and there are many P in ro8. Best has a shot too. Can’t see Bisu, Rax or Effort winning. | ||

Snow has a bit of gap between him and others in PvP. The maps are not terrible for PvZ and only Soma is really scary from the remaining zergs. He can handle any PvT out there right now. Mini is too much of a headcase but if he maintains his level, the chances are there as well. He also has to avoid Snow in the Bo7s, he's not beating him in that. | ||

Oddly enough the PvP was the most entertaining. Although the final wa good too for different reasons. JD didn't look really on it unfortunately. We know he can play better than that even right now. Is it nerves? | ||

Zergs just aren't used to handling this kind of assertive agentic protoss. except mini has been like 5-30 his last 35 games in proleague/sponbbangs... Snow is the best and mini looks good because JD bottom tier zerg | ||

He almost accessed Mach 10, and very nearly looked like Robo in the cocaine factory with that auto-aim. He played like a baller. I won't rub it in because I know JD's got many fans. But it didn't seem very challenging for Mini. He just needs to practice PvP a bit. If he got out in first I woulda ...fuckin.....FUCK. Woulda been cool. Snow's got his number though. Fuck SnOw. Dude hacks. Yeah, Snow is reaver cheater. | ||

He's my favorite protoss on the scene but i don't think he can take down snow without a huge improvement to his gameplay, or having a ton of really good cheeses planned. Even though I think snow is the most solid PvZer right now, he's generally kind of weaker in BoX series because he plays very predictably and safe. I can see a scenario where effort beats snow but loses to mini. | ||

JD was coming to this ASL as a top 5 zerg for sure. People in proleague will pick Soma > soulkey > queen > Hero > JD > Effort in that order so i guess you're right. When I meant bottom tier I meant he's the last place zerg in god tier realm. Actually scratch that since larva won! Soma > SK > Queen > Larva > Hero > JD > Effort. So jd not even in top 5 | ||

But Jaedong for years has been behind the top zergs. It doesnt mean he is trash tho. In a good day he will destroy anyone like it happened in KCM. | ||

If you just put the effort to watch his daily streams you will see he is not close to SK Soma . There is a chance he is fighting spots with queen hero right now. So if you take the top 5 zergs he is proly bottom from those or 4 depending on the day really.That said im not really sure in proleague he is being pick last since he is still a powerhouse name that brings allot of ballons like shuttle lol. But Jaedong for years has been behind the top zergs. It doesnt mean he is trash tho. In a good day he will destroy anyone like it happened in KCM. Sadly, that's very true. Though, Jaedong is already hall of fame for me, doesn't matter what his gameplay is now, because back in the day he was one of the best of all time. | ||

Double protoss making but i'm kinda sad with Jaedong. He was kinda crushing in KCM and he just got wiped on the floor by mini like he couldnt figure out how to beat the mass lot timing early on Aint no way we arent gonna get a protoss winner this season especially with soulkey out of the way | ||

The zerg split decisions turn sour immediately. The fastest rising stars become the worst crashing ones. Thank God for BTS. He really doesn't play cheese and keeps up with his style until the end. Zerg is littered with pros who cheese their favourite unit - Jaedong and hydralisks, Action and defilers, july and zerglings. Keeping up tabs with the enemy is really hard with zerg, you don't have the same spying capabilities as the other species. You lose track of the enemy. Nothing is as inexpendable as the weakest units in the game when your enemy has gained courage to strike at you. The whole game revolves around intimidation and too much or too little fails miserably. | ||
