Yeah the important thing to note here is jaedong has to have all those expansions to keep up, much like protoss on pvt. This is bc fundamentally the toss army gets waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay stronger in the midgame to late game, zeal chon temp reaver is super hard to deal with as zerg, which is y u see games like bisu vs savior in the msl where savior chose simply to never engage bisu's main army. Allowing stork to produce such an army evens out and even puts jaedong behind. Also, on those hatches, drones get wiped left and right, so yes they were up, but not always fully effective.

Well this interview agrees with me at least, was a nice fake building the lair so early with only two hatch.

How could you not say Stork was far behind? He did absolutely *no* damage with his sair reaver build. It's *extremely* important that you do some damage to slow down the zerg. Not only that but his corsairs kept getting sniped left and right. He was in a horrible position. Did you see that massive army Jaedong had? And let's not forget how easy it is for a zerg to replenish his army with zerg's awesome macro abilities. If Jaedong hadn't suicided more than half his army at that horribly small choke point the game would have been his. He had absolute map control and he was on the way to hive tech. If he had managed to get his lurkers and other units into a proper contain position, Stork might as well have just gg'd. Jeez. It's basic tactics.

Sair reaver is so horrible if a zerg can hold it off with a few cheap burrowed zerglings and scourge. He can build up his economy and then macro up his army like crazy, or he can tech and then build a wonderfully potent defiler force.

I really disliked how Jaedong responded to Stork's FE opening with just simply 2 bases. Zerg needs to be ahead of Protoss in at least 1 base, and Jaedong got his 3rd pretty late. I think economy-wise, Stork was ahead in that game because JD opt for fast lair. The bad thing is, the fast lair didn't give him any advantage.

I hate that shit too, but it works and takes management, and Jaedong is a pro facing a pro so he needs any edge he can get.

Does anyone else realize how epic the semi-finals could be if all turns out as expected?
Bisu, Jaedong, Hwasin, Luxury/Fantasy... Wow.

Only thing better MIGHT be to replace Lux/Fantasy with Stork, then it would be like Bisu and his 3 enemies lol.

Well, Storks play was uninspired, haters might even call it boring but it was solid PvZ and above all- save (the last 10-15 minutes very much so).
Jaedong played brilliantly, dominated the early game, was quite a bit ahead and-
made this really bad mistake(s) that cost him the game. Now you can call one or the other "better" on any of those accounts, but there's still some fact to deal with: Even though few expected it, Stork won this game.

I'm suprised myself and hope for a JD advance, because it makes for more interesting games imo.
