Predictions: Much Kal Midas Jaedong
There's always the BackHo factor though... damn BackHo. C'mon Midas, win this one!

Much > Hoejja Kal > ToSky Midas > FailHo Jaedong > Tempest.. Easy calls, seriously, except that FailHo could fail at failing.
|
My prediction: Much Kal BackHo Jaedong
|
I'm feeling cynical after the results of the last few weeks, so I'm gonna predict that every protoss wins. That's right, I'm proclaiming right here and now that Tempest will beat Jaedong. Today, zergs world-wide will die a little inside.
|
I think I'll watch the first two games. Always love Much and Kal's PvZ tends to be entertaining. But Midas/Backho is just a fight to be raped by Stork next round. And I don't expect to see much of a contest in the last set.
|
Much, Kal, Midas, Jaedong. Pretty safe bets.
It'll break my heart if Midas loses to Backho though.
|
I think I voted for:
Much Kal Backho Jaedong
|
|
The countdown in the OP is a nice touch...
Voted for Much, Kal, Midas, and Jaedong.
|
Oh man, with all the excitement around the PL I almost forgot about this. :D
|
woo woo im excited
|
What's with these people singing?

apparently its Your My Lady by Korean Squiggles That I Can't Read

Seems like the map set in the OP is not the one used today. It's gonna be Destination/Neo Requiem/Medusa like last week.

Yeah, I was going off what they had listed on their website. I changed it once susie told us what maps were being played
|
0_0 much going to the military!
|
Haha, if good players keep getting drafted at this pace ACE will be imba.
And Susie's hair looks great today
|
yeah they'll change it in Ro16
|
4 words about the 3set.
You Just Got Backho'd
|
Tis good, staying up late, (took a nap earlier today) and trying to not get caught by the parents, should be a fun night. Let us pray for good matches. I am liking lil susies hair right now! Looks good.
|
|
Susie reminds me of Rinoa from FF8... random nostalgia whee!
|
Much should be able to take this with out to much trouble as long as he avoids reavers

9 pool speed build from zerg, toss looking like they're going to fe.

speed upgrading from hoejja, probe is keeping track of the zerglings from much. 2 cannons going up for much.
hatch goes up for hoejja
|
United States17042 Posts
hoejja is looking to mine the mineral patch behind much'es base, or possibly a proxy hatch. either of them could look pretty freaking cool
|
|
United States17042 Posts
really innovative, but it looks like hoejja is only going to keep much from mining for a little bit.
much puts a cannon up in his main min line, hoejja expands again.
|
United States17042 Posts
2 zeaals, and the cannon was forced to build for hoejja
|
|
I love that those two lings are now just chilling between Much's main and nat.
|
United States17042 Posts
looks like 3 hatch muta going up for hoejja, a fourth hatch is starting up. much has just started his temp tech, becuase he was forced to build 4 cannons. Just started his first corsair as well.
|
United States17042 Posts
first two scourge look like they're going to take out the first sair, it depends how well much is going to be able to defnd. hydra den just started going up for hoejja
|
|
|
Not a half bad joke by tastless.
|
hahahahah tasteless is awsome
|
United States17042 Posts
much is tossing up a ton of cannons to defend against any sort of cheese from hoejja, the dt from much (first 2) don't really do anything.
|
Most annoying thing tasteless does: Stop talking then say, purposefully "uuuumm, OK!"
|
Very impt moment if nothing happens to toss he might win.
yup, he's in good shape for now.
then he loses all templar...
|
United States17042 Posts
mutas out to snipe the ht, really good storsm from much though . hoejja's gonna need some micro if he wants to hold off much.
much statrs his third base, 3 cannons going up at 3 for much.
|
|
United States17042 Posts
about 3 control units of hydra lose to about a control of zeals and 2 archons. the mutas are still doing a good job of sniping ht, much looks like he's going to lose his third base.
|
GG much, needed that econ
|
oh god much locked his archon into his base
|
Those sniped HTs killed Much, hydra army raped zealots -_-
|
United States17042 Posts
cannons are still protecting his main and nat, much is going to have trouble recovering.
|
wow hoejja is doing great
|
2 templar one lurker shot?
|
Oh damn it 2 Hts killed by 1 lurker spine
|
Much what the fuck!? Haha. The only thing good about this is this zerg is KTF!
|
United States17042 Posts
hoejja manages to sneak about 2 control units of hydra into much's base, and now is wrecking havock. Much is in toruble, he's going to lose his second gas. There is 1 obs out, it looks like much is going to keep all of his tech if he can manage to stay in the game.
|
United States17042 Posts
looks like hoejja isn't gonig to let up, with about 5 hatch hydra. Much gg's
|
|
GG soon, Much outmacroed by Hoejja

Tasteless is in the ascendency, that's why he's forming a British accent.

Hoejja saved so much money, drones, larvas by not having any static defense at all for a long time.

much 2 gates, 9 pool speed from hoejja
|
2gate for much, hatch at nat for hoejja. Much is probably thinking, damn Bisu build, ninja DTs failed me last game
|

3 probes 2 zeals out for much
|
I had Firebat roasted Zergling for Thanksgiving
Wouldn't reccomend it. Slimy.
|
double the supply, this is over
|
Much going for main with 5 zeals 2 probes, should've blocked ramp with 2 hold zealots -_-

good micro from hoejja, much might be able to do a lot of damage
|
Much got rolled, lair morphing for hoejja
|
|
United States17042 Posts
much can now 1 base tech, they're probably about even now that hoejja was forced to build so many lings early
|
Much engaging Hoejja's nat, 4 sunkens down for Hoejja. +1 speedzeals soon.
|
I agree, drops would win this for hoejja
|
United States17042 Posts
looks like two base lurker from hoejja, much is running around with a control of zeal and about 4 goons
|
what was with no luker use during that rush?
|
United States10774 Posts
|
No spire for Hoejja, takes his 2nd Much attacks! Speedzeals deal decent damage but too many sunkens, tries to move into main but Hoejja blocks with lurker eggs
|
is it just me or is hoejja the sickest player
he plays so so so well
|
Why do I not see observers yet? Do i need glasses? COMON MUCH!
|

spire is about to finish, and much just got his expo out
|
Oh shit Much ferrying troops into Hoejja's main!
|

third hat goes up for hoejja, elevator for much into the main

Damn Hoejja barely hung on Much was too greedy, didn't manage to take anything out. Hoejja going mutas and raping Much

pool almost dead hatch almost dead spire almost dead lair almost dead
yet 0 buildings killed, lol

much must br planning to come in with 2 more archons and destroy all the tech
|
hey and he almost managed to kill the extractor go much!!
|
|
I question the descion to use achons and not HTs. HTs would be able to break a lurker contain if it happens

wow, much gonna get owned again

(silence)...... *scourge fly in* AAAAAAAAAAA!

God I love Tasteless's commentary.
"That probe just gave up on life." "RUN AWAY MUTAS" "That archon doesn't know when to quit."
|
but seriously
this zerg is a mixture of july, jeadong and savior :D
he is really impressing me so far..
but i think this game will still be very close..
|
|
|
Oh, Much, getting whipped on Requiem... So sad.
Is it time for grandpa toss to retire?
|
"I have to go tell the others!"
|
lurker drop behind much`s expo would be good for z now ^^ nice play by the zerg, took me by surprise
|
well that decision was baaad
much attacks instead of moving units back to his base to defend the drop..
|
once they add this beast to proleague he will be a part of my team
hoejja fan right here
|
the zerg is playing clever but this game will be CLOSE..
|
Hoejja is going to win! He is as tasteless would say "baller"
|
"gollum w/ no legs crawling around hands asking units for money" LOL
|
Never would have expected a newcomer to bring such an incredibly strong game.
And it's called a Ragnasaur Nick
|
Hoejja's playing much better than Much, took out templar archives Much deserves to lose this. He's playing like a noob.
|
MAYBE GAME DECIDING DROP AT MUCHS EXPANSION that might be the win..
|
|
|
Wow Much is out of minerals. GG.
|
|
gg much loses 0:2
this zerg is really something to watch out for..
really really great gaming overall
gg's
disappointed by much, though
|
Tasteless is seriously funny-_-
|
|
|
And a Drone kills the Archon for the final blow.
|
EPIC win Hoejja for life.
|
wow i'm impressed by this zerg
|
|
this zerg is just good
so precious play..
|
hoejja dropped in his base and they didnt show it

Wow, going to have to keep an eye on HoeJJa in the future

Neo Requiem is such an awesome map. Smart choice by the GomTV guys.

Yeh Hoejjas fight starts next round, vs Bisu. Definetly needs something creative.

Now there's some semi-hot kor girls which I can't get too excited about b/c they could be b/w 15-30.

Looks like ripleys believe it or not is in kor too... or maybe unsolved mysteries.

Why is Tosky mining from nat with a drone when there's no hat there, and he's not putting a hat down? This guy's doing an ALLIN WITH DRONES AND LINGS? AND IT FUCKING ALMOST WORKED?

2-0 He's got 5 drones mining. No point in watching any more.

The thing is, he doesn't know the meaning of a real game. He cheesed both games and Kal picked up on this, doing 2 gate instead of FE and eventually owned him. If he played standard first game and went all-in on the second, it might have worked.

And my guess was right. No clue if BackHo will fail or succeed at failing tho. That's the only question for that match.

I strongly disagree. he used his brains to come up with good strategies both games. that you call that he doesnt know the meaning of a real game.. well its the complete opposite. guys who do the same strategy every single game don't know the meaning of a real game, because there is much more out there to throw at your opponent besides just the same crap every time. Trying to out-think your opponent shouldn't be called cheese at all. Unless cheese is meant as a compliment but I doubt that.
he just sucked hard thats all

Oh god, BackHo slowly reverting back to that ugly ass bowl hair.
|
|
|
Please please please no more 2nd rate Protoss in the round of 16. GO Midas.
|
btw those stats for stardom etc are so gay...

ofc he cheese proxy omg i hate him so much

Backho with his fail zealots
|
wow this cheese hasnt gone so well
|
midas loosing a lot of scvs :O

YES BACKHO U R OUT OF GOMTV
|
Fuck backho fuck destination die in a fire.
Since when did 7 pylon 7 gate become a legitimate build. -_______--
At least that rush fell on its face

BackHo doesn't like attacking with his Zealots, apparently.

That's some... interesting zealot micro.

Pretty sure he's being killed on purpose now.

that was the failest counter attack I ever seen, backho

Midas is raping the shit out of BackHo here
|
|
P.s.: Midas killed the Ursadon because it blocked the way of his vultures on the bridge. The camera shot there just after it was finished and the vults were on their way back.
I'm 95.5% positive on that

Well, you can pretend that Lecaf has no tosses, kind of like T1 fans pretend they don't own any zergs.
Honestly though. For Backho to be winning after such continous fail... really shows how bad Midas is playing right now.

terrible play by midas, jesus
|
|
I don't get why he didn't expand to the corner either, he had full map control. If you don't push out after raping the opposing army, at least expand (not to mention 2 factories weren't even rallied out and at a certain time there were 10 idle vults there).
I don't know, despite some really clutch moments (mostly EMP), Midas became really, really sloppy.
|
|
....ok, BackHo doing bad and Midas choking, I guess it was the battle of who paid the best least attention to the game.
|
|
Yay Backho. =)
Not really the best play ever by both players, though, I don't think.
|
|
Ffs Midas what were you thinking ...
|
Hmm, yeah, that was just awful play. Regardless of his decision to push, he never secured his expansions, and he didn't really harass. He had the game won, and unfortunately, threw it away.
Oh well.

Bah! his stats weren't almost maxed when FBH made him his bitch a week ago

What's the 8 in Jaedongs stats?

Macro

nvm jaedong has 8 for macro everything else 9-10

IF tempest gets his unitcontrol decent an his micro okey we might see a cool series unless so.. well T_T

8 was his macro if I'm not mistaken.

jaedong lays down that third hat at about 8, forge and gateway from tempest

Jaedong already comfortably ahead.

tempest is going to try to attack jaedong's third, instead moves into jaedong's main, gets the spawning pool, gets thec spire, the drones are moving back into the main, 2 lurkers pulled from jaedong's third into jaedong's nat, 2 lurkers are killing off the lurkers. jaedong's drone count is really low, but he manages to fend it off.

that was an awsome timing attack by tempest- he managed to hit jaedong right before he could start powering hydra, and it showed by how few jaedong had.

jaedong reached his suppy limit for a little, maybe that threw him off.

tempest has beaten july, luxury, and only one+ games away from beating jaedong

jaedong still dosen't have a pool, whihc forces him to go hydra lurker.
jaedong needs more lurkers, and tempest is literally ignoring the lurkers- with no obs

OMG JAEDONG WHY? Are u NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB?

No its not "the killers" im referring to.. dang
JD omg, there goes your PR TT

Tempest's attack timing is perfect, how the hell you think that he is so bad? He perfectly charged in before jaedong could produce over 9000 hydras and lurkers with his 6-7 hatcheries.

he lost like my zvp my masshydra gets overrun by speedzeal temp TT
|
hmmm
seems there are too many Protoss players left now
=\
|
See? Stats do matter, 9.5 macro > 8 macro.
Jaedong should've either gone for 4 base sunken/lurker or 3 base hydras. 4 bases was a little too greedy and he paid for it twice.

To me. I'm a Jaedong fan and a Zerg fan. Jaedong lost and there are, what, 2 Zergs left in the tournament?

No Bisu vs Jaedong :-((((((((((((((((

Jaedong's "Let me take that extra 4th base" is the new 14cc.

Muta is a bad idea vs mass speed zlots, at least not without some static defense. At least have the muta complement some lings. The reason being is that the toss can just spread their zealots to each of your expansions, and the muta won't be able to defend it all at once.
For this game specifically, Jaedong might have been planning a mid-game muta switch, but keep in mind his spire got sniped.

This tournament was like 'Yeah yeah, Jaedong is going to win." And now it no longer is.

It was good timing on Tempest's side, he went right when Jaedong was transitioning. He timed the Legs,+1, and Storm with his archon pretty well.

jaedong was way too fucking cocky - 1 sunk?!?

It's not. It depends on timing and how much both sacrifice to get their timing. Lurkers are better to defend with. But if you want to attack mutas are better. Not to mention if you can snipe all their templar while dodging storms.

The slower version I guess- he did have the sair out, so it's not "exactly" the +1/speed rush.
close though- and it ended up hitting the right timing window because of the 4 base 5 hat decision by jaedong

3/4 on my liquibet.
Much failed me Grandpa Toss, what has happened?

Hard times to be a JD fan. His decision making has been awefully bad for weeks. He is constantly overextending himself in midgame or is just basically doing nothing in late game after having an early lead (i.e. vs Kal in PL). His mechanics ar still absolutely top notch, but in a way he has lost his game sense. I cannot see him make it through the OSL preliminaries if he cannot pick his game up. If there is another MSL/OSL season full of Terrans and Protoss ahead, I have to punch someone.

Just for future reference, lurkers tend to be more of a static defense tool, while muta tend to be more agressive and allow for more mobility. In ZvT, you go lurkers if you have lower econ, because you can defend easier with them, but you can harass in a macro game and keep more map control with muta.

jaedong would have been able to hold off both attacks if he just had one more sunken. HUBRIS FUCKING HUBRIS MOTHERFUCKER

Weird thing is Jaedong scouted the mass gateways Tempest had prior to the rush, yet still didn't bother putting up defenses. He's going the way of Savior of overexpanding and just getting punished.
And while Jaedong's not in a slump, he is falling fast. Leaving starleagues so early is quite different from just dropping a few PL games here and there. He's just not playing well.

I must say, I have newfound respect for Tempest now. The only other games of his I saw was MSL against FBH, and his PvT looked absolutely horrible. Ridiculously bad and pretty much did his best to give the series away.
But while Jaedong made mistakes in this series, Tempest capitalized on them and pounced hard to make Jaedong pay. Very solid play.

Come on, you can't compare Rock to Sea. Sea loses to bad players and get upset in starleagues. Rock just qualify and get owned by superior players in the first round.

I have faith on Rock, he will take down Flash with his 2 base carriers.

JD doesnt suck. He, like bisu, like stork, like flash - is awesome, but fails at times. Just like bisu stork flash, he'll be back.

In all honesty and I know I m not better than ANY of these gamers:
Why for fucking sake did jeadong not build a few sunkens. I doubt expanding like this and focusing on macro and eco can work vs any player without a few sunkens here and there..
I just dont get it

who is this weird guy in the crowd? (mantle, gloves, sunglasses...)

jaedong got beat by zeal/archon timing

Pro gaming is going down the shitter.

WTF Jaedong lost .... So the only one that's left is Effort to cheer ??? Is this something to do with the maps that zerg can't adapt to and play ZvP ??? Last season even Luxury did better vs protoss in PL and in leagues .... Now it seems that every decent zerg and his brother are sucking vs eny protoss .
July man maybe it's time for the platinum mouse ....

The thing is you have to take into account how good each player is. Rock is a career 46% player. Sea[Shield] is a career 63% player. So Sea losing to those players is choking. Rock losing to player like these is expected.

JD and Much lost? To those players? Glad I didn't watch this complete travesty.

Much is slumping and I expected that he might lose to HoeJJa. Also Backho wining against Midas is not such a suprise. The only result that I really hasn't anticipated is Jaedong losing to Tempest. I thought Tempest might win one game if get a bit lucky but winning bo3 against Jaedong?! So there will be no epic rematch Jaedong vs Free...
But as a KTF fan I am happy that it was Tempest who eliminated Jaedong. Hopefully this kid will develop into decent Protoss.

YES ARE YOU SERIOUS JAEDONG LOST YAYY
|
And HoeJJa won too. Amazing! Woo KTF!
|
Time to add Tempest to my MSL Team. I have a good feeling about him.

OOOOMMMMMMMMMFFFFFFFFFFGGGGGGGG
jaedong lost to... TEMPEST!!! LOL
KTF HWAITINGGGGG

besides it's gonna be a Bo5 and Bisu doesn't lose Bo5s, unless it's Mind and that was a fluke

whole protoss race is made out of cheese !

So I don't typically like Zerg players, but watching Hoejja was *really* fun. Much didn't play well, but either way, Hoejja micro was insane.
In a perfect world, finals would be Flash Vs. Hoejja =3

Flash 3-1 over Bisu in Bacchus OSL semifinal, only loss coming on Troy. So, you're completely wrong.

Jaedong has been displaying poor gamesense for the last month, his mechanics are still as great as ever--that's why he still demolishes zergs--but his game sense has been lacking and he drops game he shouldn't. Well, on the bright side, game sense can be reclaimed.

Oh well no Jaedong, pretty much means Flash is gonna own this shit up easily.

fuck this season man, and im not just talking about GOM ZvP is just a depressing joke lately and not a single map in this tournament has a positive win ratio for Z in it.
GOM TV CLASSIC Destination: 39% vs Protoss Medusa: 45% vs Protoss Neo Requiem: 48% vs Protoss
Not to mention: CLUB DAY MSL (The one that had a 4 Protoss Semi-Final) Athena II: 0% vs Protoss Byzantium II: 0% vs Protoss Destination: 39% vs Protoss Medusa: 45% vs Protoss
PROLEAGUE: Colosseum II: 38% vs Protoss Chupung-Ryeong: 41% vs Protoss Proleague has two maps with slightly above 50% win for Zerg:: Rush Hour 3 (which is just balanced) and Andromeda. The rest all favor Protoss, and the proleague season overall has a 47% win rate for Zerg vs Protoss.
*edit* ALSO WORTH NOTING: Protoss have an even easier time vs Terran Neo Requiem: 70% win PvT Medusa: 73% win PvT Destination: 60% win PvT
Holy shit those numbers are crazy. While ZvT remains favoring Terran, meaning Z has absolutely no easy matchups, Protoss has basically a freewin vs Terran on some of these maps.
|
Lol, with the Bisu build+variations, PvZ and TvZ are both slightly favored against Zerg.
|
I'm not sure if you can base your statistics on something that has a 12% deviation as the biggest outlier with not a whole lot of games played on most maps.
You need a valid standard deviation first.

I would agree that Flash has a bad history against GGplay, and he has a hard time against *top* zvt players, so yeah. But flash's history 4-5 against GGplay, is a huge difference between storks history, 1-5. I think Flash may be nervous against GGplay, but its not to the extent where hes phyced out, like Stork might be. Not a Stork-Sea, or Savior-Bisu type thing, but more of a Stork-Iris, a rivalry.

I'm a little bit frustrated when people use this argument, becuase we both know these maps will never get the hundreds of plays needed to get a truly accurate measurement before its on to the next season and new maps.
The most you can do is look at the general trend -- which is that every single map has more Protoss winners than Zerg, that the overall win ratio in Proleauge for that matchup is favorable to Protoss (which has quite a large number of games) and the (yes, subjective) evidence that extremely strong zerg players with numerous medals such as Jaedong are losing to a guy that has had 4 televised ZvP in his entire career, half of which he lost.

Just gonna do the GSL ones to keep it a little ontopic.
Destination: Not enough statistical evidence. 9-14 doesn't have to mean shit yet. It definately looks balanced enough to me. PvZ favored? I don't think so but maybe it is.
Medusa: Definately not enough statistical evidence to make a valid judgement on but this one definately doesn't favor PvZ. Zerg can easily get 3 bases here, the bridge expansions seem easy for protoss to defend but then again they're kinda far away from the mains and the zerg can use lurkers to go in the back. Not PvZ favored imo.
Neo Requiem: ZvP: 41-43 (48.8%) -> I think with a 1.2% deviation it's fair to assume this map is balanced with 84 games played. It looks balanced enough to me, easy enough to get a third expansion etc.
Besides upsets happen, what about Best losing to some noname? Doesn't necessarily have to be attributed to maps. I think Jaedong made a mistake not reacting to the timing pushes correctly, relying too much on his micro. Just remember how good shuttle did last season killing off good players, it happens.

That's what I'm thinking too. Ever since Z isn't favored over P anymore, P are dominating because of no hard matchup anymore. Map makers could of course fix that, but it seems they like giving P an edge. In any case, something is wrong in current SC. I can understand that P is the easiest race in the foreign "low APM" scene, but now it seems that it's also the easiest race on the pro level. And that's just ridiculous.

its not because they are "easier" is the maps more or less favor P and if u look at the P's who are in the round of 16 they are the best p's around. best stork bisu jangbi kal free etc. they deserve to make it, but the maps help a little. plus lots of upsets going on this tournament

I would contend that it's not the maps that are imbalanced so much as the competition being better. Look at Protoss right now. Look at Zerg and Terran right now.
Bisu, Stork, Jangbi, Best, Free, Kal. Jaedong, Luxury, July (?) Flash, forGG(?), fantasy (?)
Protoss are just plain better than their competition now. They're more creative and more dominant, and this results in the middle of the pack improving as well (as they incorporate these creative strategies).
I'm a protoss myself and I admit that the majority of the maps are easier against zerg now.
But...are you serious? Really? Look at Neo Requiem. Just look at its stats. Look at its stats in 2008 and look at its stats before that. Protoss have just gotten much better than zerg. I don't mean the race. I mean the top players. The fact of the matter is that maps have not allowed Protoss to be this dominant, although they've certainly helped; rather, it has been the skill of the protoss progamers themselves that has allowed them to rise to such a level.
|
these maps arent exactly TvP friendly
|
WTF? You gotta give it to them. GOM is the no.1 upset tournament. The way the brackets are and considering the players left, this looks like another protoss fest, at least the right bracket. Fuck, I can't believe Much fell 0-2.

I agree. It's not that the maps are imbalanced, causing good zergs to lose when they shouldn't, it's that most of the zergs just suck.
Besides Jaedong, there's just not any zergs that are very good at this game right now. You could make an argument for savior and maybe one or two others, but they aren't anywhere near jaedong's level. In contrast, protoss has bisu and stork and best and free now winning everything and terran has fantasy, fbh, and a few others. But even they just don't look as good as the protoss. If you look at the top elo rankings, every protoss on the top deserves to be there.

Or maybe these Tosses are only that good *because* the current maps favor them. Obviously there's no real answer so this argument can go back and forth for all eternity, but you can look at the stats and realize that Ps are heavily favored at the moment in both matchups (not counting mirror) on most maps, and something should probably be done about that.

To those blaming everything on the maps:
The MSL prelim had Destination(39%), Medusa(45%), and Coliseum 2(38%) as its maps. Out of the 24 qualified, 14 were zergs.
The simple truth is that the best players today are tosses. End of story.

There is a correlation between the maps and the tosses, it's impossible to say whether it;s the coinencidental influx of good toss players or if it's the map imbalance. Toss do have it easier than other races with no hard matchup, and many players have used this to do better. However, the mark of a great player is one that succeeds against imbalanced maps.

All I can see is that Hot_Bid was right, "Zerg users are like their race. Their careers can blaze and rage or wither and die all within a year, a season, or a single game."
It is so ironic to see twice the same loss to firebathero, having the same effect on sAviOr first and now Jaedong. These two players are so special and they look-alike in their fury for win. See how Jaedong looked pissed in his matchup against Kwanro 3 days after his loss and then compare to sAviOr. No protoss or terran has experienced the fall that sAviOr has, and none of them could have won a 3-0 rape against Flash just after being schooled by ForGG.
Jaedong and sAviOr are destined to be bonjwas or to die in the ashes.
sAviOr is playing FBH tomorrow, let's see if he will rise again !

The mark of a great player is to know the maps and play it to the advantage of his race. Hoejja showed great map understanding today and outplayed Much because of it. Unless a map is ridiculously unbalanced, a player of each race should find ways to exploit the map in his favor.

Poor Jaedong, his play has been getting worse and worse and he might seriously be in a slump now. Seeing the top zerg lose to all these tosses is making me lose faith in the zerg race.

Wow, a large bunch of upsets here...

There is just something about this tournament and upsets, maybe it's format?
|
OMG wtf is wrong with JD?

The maps MIGHT be imbalanced this season, but there are far more interesting games this season than in previous ones IMO. Especially last season which to me was pretty boring.
|
wow a lot of fucking upsets.. great to see tempest doing something amazing.

I'm pretty excited about the KTF Protosses. They were supposed to be the equivalent to the SKT zergs, but there's some real talent between Tempest and Stats.

Part of it is undoubtedly the format, though I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. It's more "open" than the MSL/OSL where it's far easier to qualify as a new player rather than heavily favoring established players. It's also longer than the other leagues because of this and players have to face more rounds and more challenges to get to the top.
There are upsets in every league. The GSL just allows more opportunities for it to happen, I think.

One point why there is so good amount of protoss players left is that brackets are very good for protoss players, nearly no mirrors. RO16 only 2 mirrors which is minimum (10 P players). But then RO8 will be some more PvP if all tosses win.
|
How can you deny these frigging maps aren't imbalanced? (speaking about TvP)
Fun fact: Only 4 Terrans in Ro16. NONE of them have to face Protoss on these maps. Mind, Flash, pepe, sKyHigh - they all played only Zergs or Terrans.
When Terran meet Protoss on these maps, he got kicked out. Coincidence? Yeah, maybe, but I won't be surprised when all Terrans get kicked out next round. And PvP si so boring...*sigh*.
btw. - I just noticed TLPD isn't updated for some games. For example pepe vs Frozean or forGG vs SoO...

Arrgh.. this is shit. I ain't following this GSL no more. At least in MSL, the round of 8 still had a couple decent zergs left.

Jaedongs game has been problematic far before he met FBH last week. All the guys who kicked JD out of the leagues (Han, Free, Tempest) got a lot of credit for it, but basically it was JDs bad play everytime. Today, Tempest basically played a totally standard timing attack 2 times, and JD simply cannot defend. He used to dominate people and now he does not seem to know what to do after mid game, which often leads to totally overextending himself.

You sir can't count. In the Ro8 the MSL had Yarnc, Jangbi, Free, Bisu, FBH, Kal, Stork and Nada. So unless someone switched races there was 1 zerg who got his ass handed to him ZvP.

Flash has definitely been weak versus zerg this season. I doubt it'll last though. Historically, he's been excellent in that matchup.

hmm, time for the return of flash...

Last time a GOM tournament had bad maps for PvT (at least Katrina), one Terran hope rose above them all.
Flash's TvP has been looking amazing lately, but the maps are about as bad as it can get. Still, Flash has the Savior circa 2006 "I'm good on maps the rest of my race is bad at" thing going so with JD gone, this is now officially Flash's tournament to lose.
And anyone who thinks Bisu beats Flash in a BO5 really needs to watch their historical matchups as well as their recent individual PvTs and TvPs respectively. Bisu looks good but Flash looks tyrannical.

KTF, open the champagne now!

Rofl WOW at these results. Jaedong fails yet again.

definitely, i dont understand any of these guys saying that jaedong lost to a noob. sure, tempest is not the greatest player out there, but he does have very notable wins.
his macro is beastly, and his micro and timing seems to be improving. finally ktf, known for its great line up of protosses (garimto, reach, nal_ra) has tempest who i believe has great potential to becoming a great player

No way, Bisu is on a tear and he's going to prove to the world that he is truly the Bonjwa. Flash and Stork who might have beaten him during his slump will fall before the dagger of the ninja. Bisu's revolution has already begun and all doubters will soon be left speechless.
In their historical games, Bisu was in a slump because of a wrist injury and a team transfer. Besides, in half of the games that Flash won, it was through cheese. Bisu's back and stronger than ever before.
You remember the Clubday MSL? Guess who won? Bisu. Guess who got eliminated in the round of 32? Flash who got pwned by Yellow[Arnc]. Guess who Bisu recently pwned in Proleague? Yellow[Arnac]. Case closed.

ok guys, some of u who said flash is weak against zerg, please tell me ur joking. he has a 62 percent ratio against zerg, and i dont think thats weak. sure, its his weakest matchup according to stats, but hes still a tank. id call him the perfect terran over xellos, even though im a xellos fan
ktf is showing great signs. hoejja and tempest look like they have potential, flash and luxury. i dont even know what happened to 815 but im sure he will be back...hopefully

You need a valid standard deviation first. I'm a little bit frustrated when people use this argument, becuase we both know these maps will never get the hundreds of plays needed to get a truly accurate measurement before its on to the next season and new maps. The most you can do is look at the general trend -- which is that every single map has more Protoss winners than Zerg, that the overall win ratio in Proleauge for that matchup is favorable to Protoss (which has quite a large number of games) and the (yes, subjective) evidence that extremely strong zerg players with numerous medals such as Jaedong are losing to a guy that has had 4 televised ZvP in his entire career, half of which he lost. Yeah but the general trend isn't significant so it might as well be coincidence. So you think this season's maps dont favor Protoss? Not to the extent where you can bitch and whine about them, or use them in any way shape or form to rationalize Jaedongs defeat.
Dont troll. Have a reasonable argument or dont post. Notice that Jaedong dominated on the one map in the pool that could be considered balanced -- the Neo Requiem game showed perfect form ZvP and Jaedong both microing better and having far far far superior decision making, because the map allowed for those things to shine.
Then notice how the other two games were A-move timing attack build order wins, the sign of a weakness in Jaedong's play, yes, but only someone completely ignorant would say that he just forgot about the possibility of a timing attack in the hundreds of practice games he played prior to this match. He went for the economy/build that he did because he figured it to be his best choice for the maps, and he got rolled over by a timing attack.
Think about it like this: If all 3 games had been played on Neo Requiem, do you think Tempest would have won? I think anyone that watched the games would say that he would not.
*edit* And this is just the argument from the Zerg perspective -- I can hardly see how anyone could make the case that the current map pool doesnt favor Protoss in PvT
|
As much as I love Stork, I have to say that the overgrowth of protosses in later rounds is getting hella annoying.
|
|
Hahaha lol at you Zerg fans crying. PvZ is now the same as it was 1+ year ago! It seems that zerg has to actually put a little bit extra into every game in order to win ZvP, just like Protosses had to do in the past.
Justice exists!

im sick of watchin pvx srsly first clubday and now this wtf

No, im pointing out a horribly flawed argument, hes trying to justify jaedongs loss because of the maps, clearly jaedong should have overcome this map imbalance being the player that he is but he didnt, im just saying get over it

And the circus started again... Jaedong is out and fanboys are going crazy blaming everyone and everything...
Medusa is fairly ok for ZvP. The record is 9:11 while 4 out of 11 wins for Protoss come from Bisu who is on fire and he is typical vZ sniper. If anything Medusa is imbalanced against Terran who are freaking 33.3% against zergs and 25% against protoss and yet I don't see whining boys crying for Terrans as they fell one after the other... Sigh... Just accept please that Jaedong is not in the form lately.

While the cause of the "blame" is due to Jaedong's subpar performance, their arguments, for the most part are correct--the maps give the protoss the advantage.
On December 01 2008 06:14 adelarge wrote: How can you deny these frigging maps aren't imbalanced? (speaking about TvP)
Fun fact: Only 4 Terrans in Ro16. NONE of them have to face Protoss on these maps. Mind, Flash, pepe, sKyHigh - they all played only Zergs or Terrans.
When Terran meet Protoss on these maps, he got kicked out. Coincidence? Yeah, maybe, but I won't be surprised when all Terrans get kicked out next round. And PvP si so boring...*sigh*.
btw. - I just noticed TLPD isn't updated for some games. For example pepe vs Frozean or forGG vs SoO...

Map Pool = Better for Protoss When Flash got into the scene = 6 wins on the INFAMOUS KATRINA! (ONLY TERRAN TO DO THIS) When flash broke into the scene = GSI Current Era = Protoss Era Terran's last hope against protoss = Flash Flash Build = Destroys all protoss except if they go carrier build which gets undetected. Flash = Carrier Killer, and gave Stork 2 silvers.
LETZ GO FLASH MAKE SOME PROTOSS BITCHES CRY

OMFG what the heck is happening Jaedong?!? :-( I'm so sad at your recent loses it's just painful... Not really that much JD action left so guess it's almost end of season for me.
