I think it will go 3-0 or 3-1 for JD. But I hope it we will be able to watch 5 awesome ZvPs with bisu winning two games. One by some clever cheese and the 2nd with Bisu Build 2.0 lololol
i always always hope for zerg. but this time, i think Bisu. hes been kicking ass lately, he recently battle back from what looked like and impending slump, and i think is going to win his OSL. im not going to lie. id like to see another bonjwa reign and i think this kid could do it.
Since I've been watching so many games on these maps, I thought I'd offer a little bit of background before this thing kicks off:
First of all we need to cover the fact that Andromeda is being played twice (1 + 5). What does this mean? Well, not much for ZvP. The only advantage I can see here is that the map features many harass positions and horrible defensive positions for P. Plus and minus means balance. Jaedong has shown an inability to finish off late game opponents on Andromeda. Bisu could steal this game, honestly. Everyone screaming that this will be 3-0 JD are just wrong. Bisu will either win this game or Medusa or both.
Game 2 is interesting as well. Jaedong showed very strong play on Destination before against Bisu with a hydra/muta combo from a solid uphill 3 base turtle style into a punishing denial of a 3rd for Bisu as his army moved out from the main. Bisu must have strong harassment to win this map, but I don't like his style on this map. His third expansion is far too hard to defend from mid game zerg and his timing attack fails against the 3rd JD is sure to take early. Bisu could surprise JD by not going 14 nex to make this interesting, but I think JD takes this one.
Game 3 is Medusa. The only way I see Bisu losing this game is if Jaedong somehow gets on 5 bases without Bisu noticing the fifth and then manages to contain Bisu in his main from that. This map is basically crafted for Bisu's style. The only time Bisu ever looked lost on this map was against by.hero who continually exploited a hydra drop strategy which kept Bisu from moving out and stalling that 5th expansion.
Game 4 is Colosseum II which grossly favors the macro player. In this match, though -- I don't find either player to be particularly macro focused. I think Bisu will stall at 2 bases while JD takes 3 and attempt a timing push based on JD's high drone count. If his attack suceeds, he'll win. If JD gets his mutas out in time to pick off HT as they cross the middle, I think he can defend it. If Bisu loses this map the series is over in my opinion.
Whether it is 3-1 JD or 2-2 at this point does not really matter, in a fifth game on Andromeda I don't think Bisu has the same mind strength as Jaedong to prevail. The only way Bisu takes a fifth game here is in a 50 minute slugfest where Jaedong sweats himself out of form a la FBH game.
My prediction: 3-1 JD with Bisu's win on Medusa as I've stated before.
