i am very glad jaedong advanced over him

but wtf jaedong blows vs mech

I dunno if it's really just Jaedong who blows against mech. I think zerg just doesn't have a reliable counter to mech besides crazy expanding.

Jaedong does suck against mech, he lost to flash before it was a popular build


What Zerg consistently beats mech?

mecha vs zerg is not imba at all. Zerg can expand every where mid game and there is nothing terran can do exept vulture raid, but they keep the dumb agressive style. And i like the comparison here: losing few valks and vultures (wich still killed some drones) = many mistakes, losing 30++ hydra for absolutly nothing ( A move and fail drop) = one error.

The sadest thing is I'm a zerg user and Jaedong is my favorite player. I'm so disapointed when he plays like this.

Light is seriously getting better every time he plays.. I wish he had beaten JD and sent JD to the backho tournament to ensure there is 0 chance of Bisu making it out. Oh well.

I finally watched the vod of the second set on Medusa with Light and JD.

Just want to say: All I heard yesterday was how imba Terran mech was, that Terran can make mistakes, but Zerg can't make any mistakes.

Shut the hell up, please. That was a TERRIBLE performance by JD. I've seen so many ridiculous mistakes. You have two spires, you have the failed natural break where he lost all his mutas and most of his his hydras in the beginning, you have the big drop into mined territory where again he lost a lot of hydras and 5-6 overlords and did no damage. He later suicided another control group of mutas directly into a group of turrets without doing damage.

The fact that he came as close as he did while playing like that is amazing.

JD has said he played bad because he thought he won on medusa and didn't expect Light to make 900000 turrets and turtle the shit out. So he didn't know what to do

Your post is going to do what? You are just as biased as the other people in this thread and this will create endless flaming. You do realize he got two spires on purpose, right? Or is this another example of playing bad?

Obviously, he made mistakes, but that doesn't disprove or support mech's effectiveness. I hear people generalize how races are playing bad or good, but it's not true. It's more dependent on maps; however, even this time maps are not so much the cause. The recent metagame has shifted and until zergs find a solid counter against mech, they will continue to get shafted again and again; they aren't playing worse, it's just that they don't have a solid plan.

A good example is the 4Gate 2Archon build that raped the life out of zergs until they made semi-walls with their natural which completely shifted the balance of the MU. It's not that zergs suddenly 'became' good overnight, it's that they found a good build against a new one.

I dunno why u guys keep answering to those haters, they are clearly haters
Sayin` shit like Light played awful in the first game, and etc..and then JD played terrible in the second one...There are haters that forever will affirm that all the opponents that JD will beat are easy. It`s no point in arguing with them

Beautiful first game Light vs Jaedong.
I can't believe how Jaedong won after that start, he is amazing.

Lights should probably have invested more into rax and rines instead of all those turrets.
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

Yes and that was mistakes and he lose. T can just bunker and the fact that they only need 200apm while Z have to have 400> to win is at that point imba.

While Z are doing good v P they are doing so bad against Mech build. The argument that Z are playing bad dont hold. A B-class Z can beat any A-class P player at random encounters. Thats is not true when when it comes to beat a A-class T like Flash and Leta. They havent lose with a mech build to a b - class player.

I'm pretty damn sure all top (and even most amateur) Korean Terrans have 300-400 apm, so you can stop spewing crap. It's pretty common knowledge that APM generally goes P<Z<T.

I believe that Light lost the first game because he switched down to marines instead of geting an armory for a couple of valkyries and then going goliaths/tank mech build. Think about it, after screwing up JD's economy and forcing him to stay at two bases, a fantasy mech follow up would probably destroy JD. But it was Jaedong that was playing. We can never count the best players out until the very end.
I also thought it was funny how Light had a figting chance when doing sort of mech builds but got completly owned on the match that he tried "standard" MnM. Sure it looks like Jaedong has perfected anti MnM play. Maybe he will perfect anti mech play too?

yeah the first game was really awesome. it's amazing too see how fast they can split a group of wraith to move in 5 different directions (i guess they are not hotkeyed). clearly the most entertaining tvz i saw lately

Haha who are you, the oracle of starcraft strategy?

Z will do fine against mech, besides Jaedong isn't exactly known for his strategical brilliance. He needs a solid gameplan before the match even starts. I think players like July will perform a lot better against mech.

Seems like JD lost because he went for a timing attack but fucked it up (he seems to like going for timing attacks vs mech as opposed to long drawn out games).

I thought two Spires was relatively popular in some variants of anti-mech play because it allows you to, you know, upgrade your Mutalisks faster. It probably wasn't a mistake?

I haven't watched the game yet but are you sure this isn't the case?

Whats the point of getting fast upgrades if you aren't going to go hive to get the 3/3. Unless he was going for a fast 2/2 to stay at for a while, he could have upgraded off of one spire.

What I don't get is why he went for mutas. I know its supposed to be the counter for mech builds, but that was back in the stone ages of the game. With the amount of turrets terrans put up now, the quicker upgrades making goliaths a lot stronger, terran repair micro on goliaths helping conserve numbers, and the level of macro in pumping goliaths have all made mutas an outdated counter, in of itself.

edit: not to mention valkyries being utilized nowadays, too.
