All this stuff started to float around the time when they brought back Raid Assault 2 briefly, which was when Jaedong started to repopularize gas first builds, and that Proleague Season or a bit after, there was a sudden explosion in ZvZ builds and theory along with a mindbogglingly fast increase of skill in ZvZ amongst all Zerg progamers.

I remember that JD once said in an interview that he hopes for leagues with many zvz's, because its his best match-up.
now he has leagues with zvz's and gets eliminated by only zergs.
effort, calm, and hopefully yarnc.

guess since he was mostly playing bo1's in proleague his zvz confidence exploded, but now that he is confronted with planned out build orders and strategies his zvz begins to crumble.
All what KT currently needs is a Zerg and a second Terran

Wow sick, I saw the vods and I figured I"d just watch one because it'd be 4 games where Calm wins one and JD rapes him for the remaining 3. Turns out I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions.

more like.... if you watch OSL semi-final B, which took place 24 hours later, it's obvious that jaedong didn't practice for his semi-final vs Calm at all.

rofl @ jaedong not practicing.

I swear some of you guys are just retarded.

Theres also skill involved....you know. Practicing only gets you so far the few days before a match. Its not like he hasnt played 10000 zvzs before.
How do you go from where you are to where you want to be? I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal and you have to be willing to work for it. Jim Valvano

God...if kwanro or calm win the msl, this is the worst starleague season ever. Go Berserker claim your destiny slay kwanro and then feast upon calm.

whats wrong with calm winning the msl?
its not like Bo5 vs effort and jaedong is easy (probably the 2 best zvz'ers, and calm beat them both)
dont use the 12 hatch excuse, its effort's fault

calm's road to the finals:
group: 2-0 (beat sea and zero)
Ro16: calm 2-0 forgg
Ro8: calm 3-0 effort
Ro4: calm 3-1 jaedong

if calm plays iris in the finals, and wins(also if loses), then its far from "the worst starleague season ever"

Just curious, what was the worst star league season ever then ? (not saying this one is bad, was awesome in my opinion)

When Luxury won MSL? When July won OSL in 2008?
Enlighten me

wasnt really my point
when he said "the worst starleague season ever", he meant something like this starleague is bad.
my point was that its far from bad, and imo its awesome.
im not comparing starleagues cuz its everyone's own opionion.

if i say that this msl is better than the msl where luxury won, then its my opinion, not a fact.
every starleague is unique in its own way, some might produce more quality games, but arguing which 1 is the worst is pointless imo.
hope u got my point.

calm v iris would be epic, iris has one of the best tvzs, calm/s zvt is probably around effort's/JD's level

calm v kwanro would just make me sad, especially because i dont think theres anyway calm could lose, considering his amazing zvz streak

looks like jaedong invented the verb and noun hyuk.

Use as a Verb: JD just got hyuk'ed
Use as a Noun: Calm pulled off a hyuk

love it when JD get X-3'ed

That is an ignorant post if I've ever seen one.

Doesn't matter. When you're playing ZvT all day and not studying up on your opponent and practicing the specific maps you're playing, you're going to be in a rather uncomfortable zone when you switch to different maps and a COMPLETELY different MU than what you were practicing.

How in the world did JD invent it?

That makes no sense whatsoever.
