Those mutas were there to keep Mind in his base while Jaedong expanded. That game was really close, Jaedong has very good ultralisk timing to save top right many times, and even crack Mind's natural, but Mind also was exceptional in survival tactics and taking down Jaedong's expoes, as well as holding middle right and an island.

jaedong should get lurkers and defilers and just teched normally. Doing that then playing DEFENSIVELY and just macro the hell out of all ur bases would have won him the game. I believe the reason he lost was because his expos kept getting taken out. With lurker+ defiler, it could have held WAY longer. I also believe he should have more scourges on patrol as well. Those dropships KILLED him

I thought the game was pretty good, considering I think Ultra rushing is a very bad strategy on any map with ramps. Having said that, I think JD vs Flash or JD vs Hwasin games tend to be much more interesting. Mind's style is not terribly exciting to watch.

JD should just open something crazy like 4 hatch ZvP style vs Mind sometime and dare him to move out before he wants to.

Jaedong played really well

any other zerg wouldn't have been able to get down nearly as many vessels as he did and would've died because of irrad alot earlier

Any other terran probably wouldn't have been able to attack so many expos across the map at once successfully

I disagree that Jaedong has fallen off his mark. I think players have adapted to him and the aura of fear that developed after that ridiculous game vs Sea has really worn down. Whether or not he completely loses it, like Savior has, or manages to adapt will remain to be seen.

I feel like Mind's style is interesting to watch because he's so good at adapting to the situation and is constantly getting one step ahead of his opponents. Even though he ended up dominant that game, at one point he was in some pretty bad trouble getting his base torn up. He always reacts well to the situation and manages to catch up easily. This is boring to some but for me Mind's style does come off as interesting

I think the reason he lost WAS because he adapted. If you watch his old replays, he always plays standard, just simply out skill the other opponent, drops a lot, do tricks like guardian cliff, GREAT containments by defilers etc. RIght now? he just tried muta ultra when the muta did jack!

I think you may be on to something there! Quick, let everybody know that losing expos is bad!

I think one of the problems is how impossible it is to muta harass. I dont know if its the maps or if it has finally been stressed so much in training that every pro terran has their turret placement mapped out perfectly for every starting location, but simply nothing dies to standard timing muta harass anymore

Lecaf is going to win this unless Rock pulls off some crazy heroics.

Wow, Roro is terrible. They had it in the beginning, but he chose the stupidest targets. Idly hitting the nexus instead of harassing probes. Going for the cybercore instead of helping Rock's zealots or harassing probes...
