Fantasy is the best player in the game right now, I have no doubt about that anymore. He is playing unbelievable Starcraft. JD cannot beat him at the moment.

I hope so much that JD will proof me wrong. My heart is bleeding for him right now.

Wow, Fantasy seemed way behind at first. If he can come back like that, I don't really think he's gonna drop any games tonight. He was just all over the place, whereas Jaedong was clearly only focusing on one spot at a time.

yes, the sandwich really didn't help jd. He needed that to kill off the first ball, but the already sieged taks were too much for dark swarm.

Fantasy is a beast, and that was a pretty interesting opening. fast vult into dship into 5 rax mnm with vessel. Taking a little bit from every player, fast vulture popularized from nada, dship from himself, into mnm with tank heavy.

That first battle was crucial, and although JD sandwiched Fantasy's forces, Fantasy was able to hold it off. Then he went on to deny JD two expos. Plus he is relentless in his harassment.

That vulture drop must have been crushing for JD. It really looked like he was going to go for some sort of Muta/Lurker han-bang, but he lost tons of drones and half his hydras.

terrans are just imba, they have the cheapest units that do a lot of damage, but fear not, Jaedong shall prevail!

Jaedong with a fuckload of minerals... I guess fantasy did a good job denying him from any more gas.

Man, why is Jaedong so weak to dropship play? He's freaking out, maybe he's lost his unshakable confidence after his horrible last 10 or so games.

I love how Fantasy's play has developed and he's definately got amazing army control, but I can't help but feel that Jaedong's decision making is what allowed Fantasy to get to use his abilities in the midgame.

The Early drop on the other hand, was just brilliant.

JD could have flanked on both highgrounds around fantasy. Or the better choice imo, wait for swarm and push with everything from the front under 2 swarms. How do you go from 95 vs 100 supply to 60 vs 120 supply?

Wow. JD had bad control that game. Even suicided his lings single file, more than once. Fantasty is just too smart for JD. He evened up JD's early lead with that vulture drop, used mines so effectively while JD messed up that big attack in the middle. And then there was fantasy's drops and persistent denial of JD's expos. Man.... JD even had bad macro. Come on JD!!! No freaking excuses ):

Jaedong was always this person who can out mechanic the opponent no matter how many things he had to do at once. Last game was the exact opposite. His mutltasking, unit control, and most of all, macro sucked very hard. Recently, Jaedong just isn't himself.
