Can anyone tell me what happened in Fantasy vs Jaedong game???? I just watched it but I dont get why JD lost....


It seems almost inevitable that if a zerg who grabs the double gas doesn't take a turtle terran down with his quick, high gas army, then the Terran will win. It's way too easy for Terran to set up shop at the mineral onlys, and the main and nat are plenty of gas for tons of Vessels and a sizeable tank force.

Jaedong, honestly, probably would've won if he'd gone Mutas for massive harass. Fantasy had like no turrets and a weak MnM force. But he fell into the trapping that is the double gas expo.


Lol, which game have you seen? Fantasy didn't turtle at all, he is very agressive through the whole game! He outexpands Jeadong at mid game and gathers enough resources advantage for the last tank push. And Fantasy doesn't have many turrets because Jeadong does't go mutas harass not the other way around lol.


Um, expanding to your backyard for the first 2/3rds of the game before going for the second main is not aggressive. Fantasy was turtling -- he had a factory and all his tanks shoved inside his nat up until the last like 5 minutes of the game. He pushed out as soon as he had a macro'd up army, but the dude turtled after the Bunker Rush -- for good reason! "Turtling" isn't a bad thing, it's what you have to do to stay alive after failing an 8rax.

Also 'turtling' and pushing out aren't mutually exclusive. But when you've got a third of your supply in tanks sitting behind a wall at your nat, that's pretty turtled.


I repeats which game have you seen? If there is a player turtling, this is Jeadong with fast hive fast goardian, mass sunken. Bunker rush, bunker break, mass dropship harass, push out constantly, outexpanding zerg are turtling? And Fantasy doesn't start producing tank until the second half of the game!


Uggghhh I'm talking about the absolutely massive tankline and back up bio force that never left his nat until he went for the final blow. It's impossible for a zerg to break defense that tight when there's an MnM force on the map. Like I said, turtling and pushing aren't mutually exclusive in a game. By the time Jaedong had higher tech units, there's absolutely no way to break that force. If you noticed, Jaedong completely dismantled Fantasy's in-the-field MnM force several times, but not once could he come close to breaking into Fantasy's nat because of the rock solid defense. Fantasy played incredibly smart, even if his SK is a little sloppy. Playing smart sometimes means having 5 tanks and a control group of mnm + 1~3 vessels at your nat entrance, go figure.

Jesus I'm not even insulting Fantasy -- I'm complimenting his wits, and yet you guys still somehow take offense. Hell I even predicted this would happen (Fantasy opening with a prepared build to snipe Jaedong in a close call), I'm totally with the Fantasy crowd here. =\

You're obviously using the term "turtling" incorrectly here. Keep defenses at home is not turtling at all.

What if I have horrible multi-task, I suck at re-hotkeying my army, and I forget about my army back at home? That'll leave me with a ton of units back at home. Does that mean I'm turtling?

Turtling = playing defensively
Turtling =/= leaving units at home

You could argue that the putting of tanks at his natural was turtling but come on, you can't just ignore the fact that Fantasy was not only harassing JD's expos but also going toe-to-toe with JD in the center of the map.

lol this comment is priceless

I think that was one of the most painful ZvT games I've ever had to endure, outside of sAviOr vs FBH on Python.

If you'd heard Jd denied a bunker rush, denied a timing push, sniped 30 vessels and was playing off 4 gas most of the game, there's no way you'd expect a loss. The game is usually over after #1.

but fantasy just played so smart totally outexpanding JD and slowly building up that huge tank army.

those super clutch defiler snipes with tanks at the end were so awesome (even though it made me cringe as a Zerg player).

I think JD's biggest mistake was that he didnt do any muta harass after defending the sunken break. He took the risk of fantasy catching up by not harassing or pressuring him at all to get a faster and larger high-tech army but it didn't pay off.

I've NEVER SEEN a terran expand that much in a tvz before lol

Well he was definitively turtling as soon as the Bunker Rush ended, and everytime he lost his expeditionary force (Lots of times) he kept crammed in his base for a couple minutes, where he was never threatened because he had half his army there anyhow. Outsider, with it's double back door accessible expansions lends itself to just sitting back, throwing up a monster defense, macroing up, pushing up, rinse, repeat, and Fantasy did that very well.

man im so proud of fantasy for beating JD without going mech at all (unless you count the control group of tanks at the end...)


I would really love to see him triumph of JD and then Yarnc in the OSL and prove himself as the best Terran of today and the true successor of oov and boxer.

Yeah, Fantasy never really got punished for his mistakes, and he just bled Jaedong out. Most of the game, Jaedong was doing a better job keeping pressure on Fantasy's expos than the other way around, but T doesn't need that much.
