I really wanted IdrA to win this round. But Jinro won and that is the best second thing to happen

Z having to put down a drone on choke every game, the thought of that is just fucking retarded. Especially on shit maps.

I think the point is, double bunker going up puts you way far behind while using 1 drone to stop it only puts you a little behind (however many minerals the drone would mine for that time). Patrolling one extra drone is not a guaranteed loss at all, you make it out to be some sort of hugely game altering thing.


terran can just start building the bunkers, drones get pulled off the line, the Z player loses all this mining time, and then the T can just cancel the bunkers. on top of that, the terran player can salvage the bunkers, suffering no loss at all (except the time invested in the push, but the zerg's expo is delayed and the zerg also loses mining time, and has to spend time fending off the push). also, i think it's kind of bs that Z players have to set a drone on patrol and lose that mining time, even if he doesnt know for sure the T player is going to build a bunker. the mechanics are just too forgiving for T imo. but nonetheless, gz to jinro.

IdrA wearing contacts and a leather jacket. I think he got laid recently. Or wants to.

One drone patrolling the ramp stops everything you just described.

Sometimes we just need to do stuff to make sure a strategy doesn't happen. It's like a terran complaining about magic box mutas countering the unit designed to handle them. We just have to deal with it.

Karma caught up to IdrA. =) Best week ever.
Great job Jinro! Good luck!


Hogwash, IdrA just ran into a very good player that is on a roll right now, a roll unseen in a foreigner in a long long time, perhaps ever.

Eh, I'd say the problem was that IdrA ran into some awful maps / positions, coupled with some bad luck.

Not that Jinro isn't a great player, but that isn't quite as relevant, seeing as how we are dealing with the RO8 of GSL Code S (where you expect every player to be a force to reckon with)


Anyway, hope the matches against MKP end up entertaining!

Does anyone know when the semi finals will be played exactly ? I have looked through the page quite thoroughly but couldnt find anything really. The linking to gomtv.com requires korean mastery to be usefull and the league standings doesnt even show the matching of the semis. thx.

Plus Jinro was hiding a second SCV anyway, so if IdrA was patrolling a drone that second non mining SCV would have been a complete waste for Jinro thus making them even. Patrolling drone is totally worth it.


the thing is that zerg has to put themselves behind to prevent stuff. if the stuff wasn't planned they're behind for no reason. a zealot on hold position and a supply depot up, doesn't hurt your economy nearly as bad. that's a slight version of imbalance imo.

also, (somebody already mentioned that) if it fails, they're not punished. they regain 100% of the minerals and the enemy looses at least some mining time.

edit: btw nice writeup!


If u want to be meticulous: building a wall in, will hurt the terrans economy. Would u say the game state is stupid for that reason?? seriously plz stop complaining

I'm glad our foreigner reps are such colorful characters.
Jinro looks like some kind of a nerd-eating badass, while Idra is Idra, man. Look at him. He is half man, half android and all supernerd.

also, if the zerg manages to make the terran cancel the bunker instead of letting it finish, the terran will actually lose 25 minerals.
