Just curious why you think so.
I can't remember seeing Light play mech (vs Zerg) in quite a while. (But then I don't watch streams religiously etc.)

are there online betting sites which provide odds for this match? I'd really like to know how some market makers evaluate these games. I remember seeing at least one eastern european sports betting site which had ASL matches... can't find it rn though, and every other site is unavailable for EU and I'm too lazy for vpns

also, are there any rules on sharing such sites/ talking about game odds etc? I feel like it's an interesting input point to any discussion related to the match, but bw has quite a history with match fixing so ...

Woowooo! Jaedong vs Light!

As a Jd fan right now is a great time, while he loses his fair share on stream, he has been bringing an incredibly high level of play to leagues and matches including a win in escore 1 (lost the next one), displaying both the best ling and muta micro of any zerg recently.

As a lover of Zvt/Tvz this is most likely going to be the matchup of the event for me. Recently, light has not just been getting good results, he has been demonstrating the highest level of bio play in the matchup.

While I don't get to feel confident in a sure JD win, I do feel that both players are primed to bring us very strong craft.

Lastly, I have no idea if it will be used tonight, but a few days ago I was watching JD on soop playing ssak, and his opening was 3 hat before pool, with one of the hats being at his natural and the other being at another base. A variation I have never seen played in a major league (could have just missed it, I missed yrs of craft tbh). His results with this build were negative but it showed some real promise, he used it for 3-4 games in a row.

I thought all betting sites were banned on this website after the this website split and the poker version of this website was created, but I haven't been here much for years and could be wrong. Talking odds has always been a part of the culture though... liquibet.

Initial Wraiths weren't super effective but not a disaster either, so now it will come down to bio play.

And Light's han bang timing catches JD being too slow in preparing his 3rd to defend

The 1/1/1 into CC allows you to attain a higher vessel count at the cost of a tank or 2. The extra irradiates are just too cost efficient in knocking out zerg units

That is a nightmare build to face.

The cloak makes you think two port, and then bam 3 ira's and a tank push out.

Rough g1 for JD, and strong by Light.

from my experience watching Jaedong playing Jane doe he seems to be doing the best from all zerg players. A trojan horse for Light Imo.

Still basically 3 terran maps in a row in a terran favored matchup. If he takes just one of them its already a win

There is one issue for JD hero. since he took his inside main expo so early that gaz gonna be soon depleted. so rushing for a 4 gaz is really important.

It was too greedy to throw those wraiths away after losing tanks to push. Light really wanted to bust the nat, lucky he has an expo. Hold that thought... Drop vs drop, and now we're in a base trade situation

Well yeh, but zergs will typically consume/swarm once its irradiated to get some value out of it. He kind of gets irradiated, moves to consume something and then doesn't and moves them forward to get tanked.

Light's definitely doing a good job irradiating them down but JD is getting absolutely nothing out of so many of them

I think JD should have tried to snipe the CC in the back during the drop. He killed a lot of scvs but he ended up in a situation where Light had 3 bases and could recover.

The issue of this map is that there is no use for nydus to hide your defiler, while vessels can spawn snipe any defiler. Life expectancy of defiler is basically 2 seconds here.... should have gone crazy zerg

Strategy this strategy that, Terran's firepower has always been the number one factor that makes them the most dominant race. In the end it's a game which is decided by battles, and longest range + highest DPS is the ultimate combo to win battles.

Wow. Such a scrappy high level game.

There is a chance JD will have inertia, and he also might do something wild.

4pool is probably like a 15% chance this game.

Light focused so much on defending his main that his nat was lightly defended so he lost a lot of scvs in his natural because of JD's +1 attack upgrade. Each attack from JD's mutas would kill like 2-3 scvs. I think this is what kept JD in the game

I think what lost Light the game was the combination of having his first drop completely blocked and right after losing like 3 vessels for nothing. He was already low on vessels because he focused on getting dropships but losing them really hurt.

Everything that doesn't make him dead is fine by me, lol. He indeed didn't need to make 8 lings. Maybe 2-4.

I'm not sure if he actually was able to know how hard Light would push that or succeed with his initial scheme. Maybe it's all a skill check; I'm not at that level.

Both players getting sloppy from being mechanically over extended is what I live to see in pro matches.

Btw mentally JD has to be feeling so strong after coming back in game 3 and 4. All the momentum is on him. And Light i have seen he is breaking starting a certain point in the game. I dont think he can beat JD macro today.

Has JD been behind in g4? Feels like he was at least on pair when he held the first push.

I think when Light was pushing the first time he was in serious danger of dying to timing but Jd did a good job delaying it.

What a nailbiter, that fight above JD's 2nd expansion literally came down to the last few units.

I've sadly missed G1 and G2 but these last 3 were definitely worth the time

JD's decision to engage when Light's tanks were unsieged backfired because he ended up losing too many lurks

RIP JD. I tend to cheer against Zerg by default but Z would have made for better matchups in the semis and it's not like Light was massively deserving here, though he clearly played well enough. At least Snow might have a better chance now if he can get past Flash.

Disappointing, JD had such a strong opener in game 5. But went for hydra upgrades way too early at expense of more lurkers. Can’t help but think he would’ve been better investing more in lurk/ling/def and moving to hydra after securing fourth. It’s a bitch of a map to expand on though for zergs.

Resilience and clutch play by light. RIP JD!

Lights TvZ is lights out. no pun intended. Its a beautiful thing to watch. Some players just have that inclination towards a match up that is obviously a tier above anyone else, and his TvZ is it. Absolutely beautiful to watch.

Also, this has been the best series by far obviously. Such good games. Can't wait for Flash vs Snow

Flash has a demonic road to the finals, I know cheering against Flash is kinda popular, but this has to be different he is retiring I want him to win this.

Beating Snow arguably the best Protoss in Ro8, beating Light arguably the best Terran aside from him in the Ro4 and beating Soma arguably the best Zerg in the finals.

That would be quite the road.

I won't begrudge Snow at all if he can pull it off (winning against FlaSh and Light and probably having to break his Zerg semi-curse).

Most importantly though, I hope we get matches of the quality of tonite's game for the rest of the tourney, Jaedong+Light was a treat to watch and much better than last weeks games.

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.

Light looked so strong, the wraith play was satisfying to watch for me.

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.

Had a feeling midway through g1 that JD wouldn't be advancing after the death stare still hadn't appeared.

It feels like Light came with way better strats than JD. A few tactical mistakes from JD, but overall Light had better build orders.

I wasn't thinking in my excitement and didn't bother to correct it as so many people were tuned in. I'm sorry it got you.

Jaedong had the advantage in game 5. Until he took a bad battle and lost his third...

Now THAT'S A R08 MATCH. I have to say light's wraith control is kinda insane like the matchup looked like a zvp instead of a zvt with his control

I guess the JD vs Flash dream is dead forever.
