game summary:

Jaedong opens up a standard 3 hatchery before pool. sea opens up w/ an equally standard 1 rax super fast CC opening. things proceed standardly until sea walks out w/ 12 marines and 2 medics lagging WAY behind. Jaedong flanks this w/ about 16 speed lings and sea is in "super duper fucked" mode. at this point, sea scrambles to make more marines, at which point he realizes jaedong's mutalisks are finished. sea double scrambles to make a ton of turrets, which sorta prevent jaedong from winning immediately.

however, sea had his factory and starport placed a little far forward on his choke, forcing sea to run his marines around to try to defend his main CC and his front choke. Jaedong just kept the marine numbers super low until he got 2 lurkers. sea GG'd before the lurkers even got the chance to burrow.

trounced wheee

what's ridiculous is jaedong was doing a safe expo build oriented toward late game, and he can still be aggressive and win outright with his early units, how scary

12 lings, good muta micro, and the T crumbles, LJD is really quite scary

as soon as Sea lost that first group to lings only, it was over

IF Sea had built 2 firebats instead of meds, or IF he had his marines an inch lower, he'd be even or have a shot to win (not even ahead). you just can't make mistakes against this level of ZvT.
