If Light has a million fans, then I'm one of them. If Light has one fan, then I'm that fan. If Light has no fans, that means I'm dead.

I think Games 1&3 were excellent
Game 2 was interesting
Game 4 was pretty standard but exciting in the context of the series
Game 5 was disappointing

Really wanted to see JD reverse sweep. GGs

Game 5 was pretty much on razors edge?

Personally I thought the big fight went better for JD than it should but it barely wasn't enough.

I enjoyed this series a lot. I am still not deep enough in modern BW to know who made what crucial mistakes. But all games were enjoyable to me.

Would have loved to see Jaedong advance. I guess it wasn't destiny afterall. I still liked how decisevely he played.

Light played well. That timing push in G5 looked extremely scary. Jaedong was just spread too thin I guess.

I think he thought he could break it with the hydras but seeing none of them actually killing what was left but losing all them instead was the moment it was over. Too bad, perhaps the better option would've been massing sunks in the expo to delay? Also, double lurker egg on the ramp maybe?

We should petition to have JD reinstated, and give Flash and automatic seed to the Finals.

Who says no?

You make a great point, I don't want to pretend game 5 was bad. I just would have preferred the tension lasted longer. When Jd failed to kill that tank at 6, suddenly it was GG... I just wish game 5 was a bit longer. Not a bad game, but in context it fell short of "an epic deciding match in an epic series" quality.

Watching I was rooting for JD mainly because I didn't want it to end in a 3-0 and it'd be cool to see JD achieve something major again. Light played really well and JD definitely felt like he made some weird plays in some of the games, but the series was exciting so I think we all won in the end.

Even though people were complaining about balance and tesagi, Light played really well. The wraith builds were fresh and he's grown a ton as a player since the Kespa days...

I think a lot of people just root against terran.

I think JD suffers from these dumb pregame interviews because he really relies on working himself up into an intense head space before an important match. Light deserves credit for being able to perform with very little pregame pump up.

Btw can someone explain to me the battle cruisers in g4? I really didn't get why light did that

^ BC counters Defiler in Orange Cloud
BC is so good to beat Ultralisk
BC helps him to spend money fastly
BC can do a move for multitasking scene
BC helps Light traded time better than JD
BC can solo destroy JD's ninja bases
BC can go along with Tank, Goliath to sweep everything ahead
BC makes JD had to buy suicide craft
BC makes Defiler spray plague on it instead of other units

So, against a 4 gas zerg, as they get strong into ultra and defiler, it can be incredibly taxing on apm and gas resources to deal with BCS. Normally, at this late stage of the game, there is not a flock of muta to assist the scourge, so the scourge will be less effective as some die on the way in, this can suck all inertia from the zerg position, and make them defend instead of powering hive and attack, this can include making spores, and using spells to defend, this can cause the zerg army to be misplaced, or for army composition to become less ideal.

The BCS here looked worse then normal in this position because they were spotted by the overlord they killed by Lights natural early on when there was only 2, the flock of mutas that remained made them die abnormally easy and the fact that Light was in a worse position with his 3rd and 4th taken with no hope of gaining more ground.

Basically BCS can act like 1 unit drops at zerg bases, and can distract the ground army from positioning or can even cause a shortage of defilers due to gas constraints and if enough bcs live they can steam roll zerg positions while the main army gets into ideal positions.

It has been a Terran staple of lategame play since 2009/10 - Sea (I believe) won a big game against JD using lategame BCS on Andromeda in that era.

I’m starting to feel like I’ve cursed everyone this season. That said, Light’s builds were so good. That must have been hard for JD fans to watch.
