Jju again being underrated (imo)
I didn't watch the VOD so I trust your judgement, but from the sounds of it Jju didn't necessarily 'just get lucky'. Imo in ZvZ, lucky is when you start off with the 'better' strat, and therefore have the early advantage. Even if it was just hidden ling harrass that Jju came back with, it is better than trying to hopeless take control of the game by just sitting there hoping your opponent won't use their gas and mineral and larva lead on you. Not really lucky, just desperate and appropriate.

I'd tend to agree with you, but I've seen this specific game and Jju was really lucky. Gorush didn't see the zerglings running past his own lings in Jju's base because he was microing scourges or something. He was careless for a second and lost the game there. =/
