Holy shit JWD, this writeup is simply amazing, one of my favorites to date. I really like how you analyzed Bisus group, I never thought about it that way before.

Either way, good job, this is the first 'TL:DR' post that I actually went back and couldnt stop reading until I had finished it.

Oh that's just because JWD is a little SKTT1 fanboy and therefore everyone is out to get his beautiful bisu, bisu against the world...

yarnac did not use standard 2 hatch muta vs flash

Yeah, he went 12pool so the timing was earlier than usual.

Also, his gas timing was so early it was basically a ZvZ build:

12 pool
11 gas
12 hat (not sure cause of cuts to crowd)
11 lair
make a few (4?) lings
17 spire
16 sunk
22 nat gas
21 4-5 mutas

Flash made an ebay once he scouted the super early spire and (I think) started turrets as soon as the ebay finished.

Basically yarnac's build order hard counters any sort of fantasy-ish build that defends muta harass with a bare minimum of gols / turrets / valks, but is bad against anything else because unless you kill them with your first mutas your economy is going to be in shambles.

So who can pick up the Protoss Banner? I'm not quite sure Violet has got it in him to be a real top player, and none of the other tosses have either been consistent or very promising lately =/
Apart from that, I cant really recall any protoss ever doing consistently well against Z's while not being horrible in the other 2 mu's. I might have to wait for SC2 for the re-emergence against Protoss ^^
I'm a man of my word, and that word is "unreliable".

Hey JWD, is Fantasy and JD on the opposite or same side of brackets? If they are on opposite ends, this might end up looking like Fantasy vs JD finals all over again lol

To a certain degree, it serves (P)Bisu right. As good as (P)Bisu is, I always feels he lacks a certain killer instinct unlike (Z)Jaedong or (T)fantasy.

TL.net should have a minute of silence for the fact that there are NO PROTOSS in the ro8. Sad sad days indeed.

just a great post, got me all caught up. not too wordy, and great descriptions.
im not terribly pleased with the fact that the race diversity has already been narrowed to 2.
and just a year ago- the protoss were ruling all~
what a great game :D

12 hatch isn't a risky build JWD

I think he meant that because Flash had a high chance of cheesing, going 12 hatch was risky.

Yeah, exactly...of course 12-hatch is safe and standard (especially on a 4-player map) but in this particular context it was risky.

I don't think his build is to blame at all. He should have been able to micro against a bunker rush, he didn't so he lost.

Stork vs Fantasy really was an excellent game. I thought Fantasy would get smashed, but his vulture + 2 tank in a dropship attack is really just powerful.

Also, even if Flash didn't go for the gay bbs, effort might not have made it out of the group. Although he is no slouch at zvz, yellow[arnc] and jaedong are both zvz specialists (even if yarnc's record doesn't show it) and he would have had a devilishly difficult time with the tiebreakers, especially since jaedong doesn't have any more proleague obligations and would have been more prepared for tiebreakers than he would have been for gom.
