Even for a JD ZvZ, having basically no advantage playing 1 Hatch versus 2 Hatch at Spire tech is virtually impossible. One hallmark of JD's ZvZ play in general is that he manages to avoid getting into those situations virtually every game - this game he just didn't have it at the start. Like I said earlier, I'm guessing he's been concentrating more on beating Kal.... | ||

Replay shows jaedong trying his hardest to lose. That would be so awesome. He kills his CC with his 5 SCVs and right before his CC burns down, he'll type "fuck you jaedong" and then get eliminated. | ||

I think Jaedong throwing the game would be considered so disrespectful both to Flash and to Yarnc that the commentators would be naturally hesitant to advance the idea without more blatant evidence, especially with Jaedong looking a little tired lately. | ||

I think the way it works is the 3 players play round robin until one of the players goes 2-0. When there's two seeds up for grabs the 2-0 player advances as #1 seed and the 1-1 player would advance as the #2 seed while the 0-2 player would be eliminated. If only one seed is available the 2-0 player advances. | ||

I love Flash but I don't think he needs to "try" to throw a game to Effort right now. Flash's problem is he's too greedy (duh). I wish he would sacrifice a little economy to be safer, and if he figures out how to do it in the right ways with his new TvZ build, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe he'll salvage it eventually. I just don't understand why Flash isn't willing to budge on econ a bit more - even in today's "modern era" his macro is still so good that he can pull back to even against virtually anyone. And, if his build really is that good, shouldn't that leave him with an edge still? Too bad Flash doesn't design strats for an edge, but rather to "solve all" which seems nearly impossible these days. | ||
