ODT - Examining the Zerg Players - Page 2

Jang Wook was once hailed as the new rising Zerg star. He boasted a ZvP record which even surpassed Savior's for a short amount of time, nearly reaching an outstanding 80%. However, his ZvZ is suspect as he usually fails under pressure and makes critical mistakes in build or micro. His play style was likened to the embodiment of the zerg swarms due to his ability to effectively control his entire armies as if the units were moving simultaneously under one will.

Give this kid more time under the spotlight and he will start to conquer not only his nerves, but the best players out there. His play is only sub-par due to his nervousness, not lack of skill.

Game to watch:
-Sea.Jy vs Boxer (Shinhan ODT 2005)

GGPlay had the single best individual record in the last season of 2006. He is also the best player on the Hanbit Stars team, leading the washed-out Junwi. Mostly macro-based, GGPlay's style still boasts a competent micro ability, as ZvZ is his best matchup. GGPlay is high considered by most Korean fans, having been a favorite to win Shinhan OSL2 as well as being a strong force in Shinhan OSL3. GGPlay loves using mutalisks, as shown by his great muta-micro (even without the popular muta+overlord trick used by progamers).

If July has been named God of War, GGPlay should be something similar, like "WarLord." July's game is aggressive, using micro to win battles. Similarly, GGPlay wins battles, but more through smart tactical decisions based on map position and timing, usually catching large enemy armies by surprise and annihilating them. Thus, MBC commentators loudly proclaim GGPlay's fighting ability: "Kim JunYoung fights so extremely well!"

GGPlay's Matchup: ZvZ > ZvP > ZvT

GGPlay also has dispatched some of the best players in their own matchups, including Zergman (ZvZ Monster) and Savior. Here are some interesting statistics:

GGPlay : Zergman (2 : 0)
GGPlay : sAviOr[gm] (2 : 0)
GGPlay : Sea[Shield] (3 : 1)
GGPlay : Kingdom (3 : 1)
