He's not talking about what starting position you get on the map, but on which side of a building units spawn

I think were talking about unit spawn points, not player start points. Random player starting points is certainly there for a reason. When I'm talking, I'm talking about spawn points where units "pop" out.

Why don't people understand that this was a pure build order win in the last game? FantaSy took the risk that he can't defend vs a Zerg that is 9pooling with that wall and Jaedong went 9 pool speed so FantaSy lost.
Its not a choke - he just took a risk and it didnt pay off. it wasn't a good risk to take because it didn't have any potential benefit. why wall off against fast lings if the wall also fails against fast lings yep thats very true. he'd have been better off with a 10rax and sorta lock-and-key building placement with a bunker. there should have been some sort of backup plan for his build, which is exceedingly effective at every position but the one he spawned at. choosing to continue the path regardless was a very poor choice also, what happened to his first marine again? if i remember correctly he had enough time to lift the barracks and bring the marine to the other side of the wall, didn't he? he would have been fine then, but i don't remember how the timing exactly worked out. that was just ugly
the one marine wouldn't have made a difference, fantasy would have lost those two vultures regardless and jaedong simply wouldn't have gotten a hydra den. he'd still win for sure.
but yeah it's odd, no idea where it went or why he cancelled it

seriously. it doesn't seem normal to hate on some of the best players. they elevate the game so much

I, admittedly a Fantasy fan, must disagree with the comparison between Fantasy's cheese and Jaedong's cheese.
Fantasy's cheese was not just a simple BBS, it was a smart fake wall-in strategy that was new and innovative. Jaedong's 4 pool on the other hand was not innovative at all, though to his credit he did display cleverness by hiding the additional lings.
The statement "You liked Fantasy's cheese so therefore you cannot dislike Jaedong's cheese" is therefore in my opinion inaccurate because they were different on a strategic level.
The statement is also a double-edged sword because a good portion of the Jaedong fans now cheering for Jaedong's cheese loathed Fantasy's cheese.
While I understand that the whole "cheese hate" is simply an excuse to bash another player, I still think I should point that this statement is shallow.

is there any, ANY reason in the world why fantasy did the fac wall-in in game 4?
made no logical sense to me at all.
would have been better off with a rax depot wall.

what do you expect from zerg? proxy spawning pool?

zvz Is the most standardized match-up after all. You cant deviate that much from the norm and the games can be over before the initial first contact which isnt all that interesting. But I do enjoy watching zvz when it reaches the lovely balancing between air and ground, and its always fun to watch progamers microing the hell out of their lings.

It kinda depends on who you ask I guess. Although there are more arguments for the OSL being more prestigious, I still believe they are equal.
