Jaedong better win the OSL tomorrow or he would be entering a slump Alternatively, he would be making it to the top 4 of both leagues, showing consistency and high level performance after carrying a Proleague team to 2nd place over 10 other teams in a year-long season. | ||

We had a period where Mechanics dominated strategy and now we're entering a new era where strategy is more important than mechanics (since we're all on the same level again) I agree too, and I look forward to it because I find strategy so much more exciting. It's also an area where shit players like me can emulate the pros more. It should make it all a lot more fun to watch. However, I am not necessarily agreeing that Calm is smart, as I really don't think you can take much out of ZvZ games and I have not seen other MUs by Calm. Luck or risky play can come off as intelligence in ZvZ, more than any other MU imo, so it is more consistency to me that says someone is gifted in that department. One concern for a strat-oriented metagame is some top players that we have grown to love becoming obsolete. I know that's most likely an exaggeration because mechanics still play a huge part (well, mechanics of a certain level are par for the course just like size/strength is in rugby players or height/jumping is in basketballers) but you can't help thinking of how great entertainers like BoxeR and YellOw became somewhat obsolete when people learned how to macro. | ||

Now instead of post-match analysis/discussion there will be 25 pages of fanboys wailing. To contribute to the former and avoid the latter, Calm used some kind of hidden lings every game except for game 3 where he did stuck on 1 hatch and did a +1 timing attack. He had a nice shot at winning the first game too with that hidden ling maneuver but as with nearly every other game, he lost all his lings because he dove into the mineral line, probably while looking elsewhere (his multitasking was bad.). It felt like in even situations Jaedong risked too much on reading Calm's ling/drone count and paid for it dearly, while in bad spots Jaedong didn't try to make many moves to regain a lead. In some games Calm was just good. In others, Jaedong not so good. Can't blame "slump" or broken mentality for all of this. Calm, at least for this MSL run, is not some ordinary Zerg. | ||

You even said it yourself, you didn't see his other games. Go watch his other game ROFL. | ||
