For those of you who didn't watch the games. Jaedong IMHO played terrible in retrospect to how he is played in the past.

Anyone who has followed his career and watched him grow knows darn well something is up. I really have no idea what it is, but that is not the jaedong builds/timings/anything I have memorized and mimicked for years. As I poor over his book of builds and timings and strategies, I find nothing in regards to all 3 games.

It almost seemed like he was throwing the match.....

How is saying Flash will win calling it. You could basically just say that every time he plays and be right most of the time.


I don't just said he was going to win, he will rape and thats what he did ^^, and no mister i don't call every flash game a win(no vs JD atleast), but this time i just felt it... but hey Skaters gonna skate i guess

I'm being honest, it may seem like I'm some fanboi that can't let it go, but I literally watched the first game and was like, "What the heck is he doing?!"

Just watch it yourself, unless you aren't familiar with Jaedong's play style. Why didn't he just do his normal muta harass build? Flash went quick expo and Jaedong scouted it, that is an automatic win for Muta build. I'm still completely confused but I'll watch the matches again.

Great article, loved the story!

The 14CC MSL.... I wonder if that'll become standard Flash build. 14CC into Valk

I doubt it. IMO the build loses a lot of its oomph if it's scouted, because Zerg can just morph scourge with their first set of mutas. Jaedong lost the momentum in that game because he had to wait for scourge to spawn and then cross the whole map before he could engage.

On the issue of the 3rd game, was Jaedong's push as doomed as you make it out to be? It's true that he could get siege off a Machine Shop, but aren't Spider Mines or Charon Boosters just as likely first techs out of the Machine Shop (especially if Flash expects 2 hatch muta)? IMO the key moment in that game was when Flash got the late SCV scout into Jaedong's natural and saw that he hadn't taken his 2nd gas yet. That had to have given him some early warning for the push--without it, I'm not sure Siege Mode would have finished in time. All in all, I think the game was a lot closer than the BR makes it out to be.

Good article.

And even though I'm usually a Jaedong fan being a zerg player and all I gotta say I rooted for Flash coming into this. Would have been just to cruel to have such an amazing season then lose in both finals.

The first game was a supreme gambit. It was a brilliant build and he seriously almost had it except he was riding on such a thin line that a single blunder just killed him. That build was totally something that Jaedong would do. A prepared build that is totally ballsy, totally unprecedented, and extremely powerful. He just fucked up and stumbled on the line. I don't think you understand that when Flash failed in breaking through before the first defiler came out Flash was FUCKED. He was in a fucked up position and if he failed to break Jaedong when he did then he would have lost the game. And Jaedong was extremly close to that point. Jaedong got too complacent after getting his first defiler out and Flash took what was perhaps his only chance to win and he succeeded.

Nice writeup.

I actually didn't know about the gladiatorial thumbs-down until I read this. The more you know.
