First of all, if you think Hwasin could lose simply due to the amount of vessels Jaedong sniped, go watch Jaedong's most recent game vs Sea and count how many vessels Sea loses.

What Hwasin did do, however, was stop Jaedong's attempts at a fourth for as long as possible, causing the game to continue to be groups of smaller fights rather than huge ones wherein his units would be too clumped up to avoid ensnare + swarm absolutely owning him. It was Hwasin's forcing the game into those small skirmishes, plus his attempt to take advantage of the fact that a lot of the expansions on the map would be hard to control for Jaedong. Where that plan fell apart was in his failure to place a turret at or to scan his third base when the bunker was under attack. That, combined with the fact he failed to eventually stop Jaedong's expanding to a fourth base, and the mass vessel snipe, put him too far behind to come back. There you go. Can we put it to rest now and admit it was an amazing game? Are you serious? He started failing once his first vessel/tank push went for the natural instead of the 3rd. Hwasin constantly sent useless groups of mm/firebats to the 3rd to die for no reason. The only thing he did at all was prevent 2 expos from forming. Thats it. Plus, hwasin's own 3rd was horribly late. He was at an eco disadvantage the whole game,and by the time hwasin actually took his 3rd, he let jaedong mass enough troops to effortlessly take it. Jaedong almost botched it though when he didn't bring a defiler with him. Okay, 1) Both fantasy and he went for the natural instead of the third, hmmm, maybe it's better that way? 2) 2 base terran vs 3 base zerg is not an 'eco disadvantage' 3) Jaedong went for Hwasin's third after he killed his army, though the no scanning made a difference, but it wouldn't have mattered because Hwasin still didn't have an army when his 3rd was under attack. Hwasin played well, he made a few mistakes that cost him the game. But JD played really well at crucial times to keep himself in it long enough for Hwasin to slip up a bit. 1) who the fuck cares about fantasy. Hwasin got too greedy and wanted to end it right there. Big mistake. 2) It is a disadvantage for terran, or else you'd be seeing every other terran let the zerg get their 3rd gas without a fight. 3) Hwasin did have troops. They weren't positioned there. Jaedong was careless though, should have sent a defiler. He almost blew it by not sending one. | ||

On your 2) --- it could be argued that zerg is getting more resources by having a third and therefore they're at an eco advantage, but from a "game winning" advantage, Zerg desperately needs it. Yes, Zerg might be at an "eco" advantage, but that's not the point. Can you recall any game in the past few months where Zerg beats Terran 2 base vs 2 base? The fact is zerg needs more gas to counter terran's tank + marine + med. 2 gases just won't do it. 2 base zerg vs. 2 base terran, zerg loses 2 base zerg vs. 2 base protoss, zerg loses | ||

Aside from that, Hwasin was screwed. I don't know wtf you guys are talking about. I'd say it was dead even the entire game. It was tipped towards Hwasin when the guardians did absolutely no damage and got ass-raped. Following that, JD did not have his fourth for the longest time. Hwasin had a huge advantage when it was 3:3. It was literally one scan away (and pulling the vessels towards the right direction) from winning. You guys are so retarded... It was a good game yes, and yes that scan might've saved him the game, but Hwasin was just outclassed most of the game. Look at the way he was losing vessels. He lost like, 6 vessels in ONE shot. He wasn't playing in top condition tonight, but he wasn't absolute shit either.

There were two or three defilers irradiated iirc. I know solid on one, think I saw two. How do you not realize that jaedong has been hailed the scourge king multiple times and his scourge usage was extraordinary this game whenever hwasin was under pressure from lurkers + swarm + ensnare + cracklings jaedong would scourge vessels, he did not lose a single vessel when there were less than 3 other things going on I never said that Jaedong wasn't amazing with scourge. Honestly, Jaedong is one of the best of all time in my eyes. However, when you are hailed as The Red Sniper, I'd expect you to handle the vessels a little better, even under pressure. Honestly, to anyone who doesn't think it was an awesome game, rewatch it. It was back and forth game the entire time, and a combination of Jaedong's great play with Hwasin's mistakes led to the outcome. But seriously, quit the "Hwasin sucked balls" shit. He played a great game. | ||

Only a while later did he make the mound. | ||

I read the LR and I agree with your conclusion but it is hard to tell without seeing games. And yet again Jaedong fanboys are crying that a MU is imba after Jaedong loses. It is becoming tiring. It is suprising that from all top progamers it happens only after Jaedong loses. Seriously, there is no shame in losing to Kal in ZvP. | ||

Na it makes tons of sense that it would happen after a Jaedong loss, because no other pro gamer represents their race more than him. He is the obvious master of zerg (exempting JZ's zvp). | ||

Because his mentall strengh is 1000x compared to S2 and Hyuk.He has confidence and other factors.Only mechanics are not enough to beat somebody.Savior , July , JD ...All of them have 7-10 factors to win ,while Hyuk and S2 and other has 1-2. But Kal's mental strength is not bad too. And he has July to practice.Both of them are mindfuckers. | ||

It's just that Kal's micro was just incredible. His unit composition, impeccable. So JD amasses 1/1 hydras, attacks up Kal's ramp and Kal does a great job using his zealots to block the ramp/hydras so his storms/reavers could kill them off. Kal loses like 4 zealots and Jaedong loses most of his hydras. Jaedong amasses more hydras and heads for Kal's nat. The small choke point and large number of zealots in the front create perfect conditions for storms/scarabs. Again, Jaedong loses A LOT of his hydras but Kal loses minimal forces again (Like what a few zealots for 3.5 control groups of hydras so far?). Kal has a decisive army advantage and therefore map control. One thing JD does a great job of doing is burrowing and picking off HTs with mutas. He must've picked off at least 6 with that one group. Talk about cost effective. Imo it would've made the critical difference if Jaedong had thrown in a few lurkers into his unit mix from the start (when he attacks up Kal's ramp). | ||
