Maybe after Yarnc wins this, you'll stop calling Semifinal B the "real" finals. | ||

Here's a match between Leta and Yarnc, played couple of weeks ago @ Cooltime This was a non-serious match where both Yarnc and Leta randomed. Yarnc got terran and Leta got zerg. So it wasn't Leta playing horribly in that game. | ||

two things: 1) From the LR thread and our discussion on vent, one thing missing from your summary is that Jaedong changed his approach on Outsider after losing to Fantasy on the same map in Pusan. Instead of using his double gas to fund ultralisks, he used hydra-lurk, which caused problems for Fantasy's unit mixture. 2) If you re-watch Holy World, you'll see that while Fantasy did have two marines when Jaedong attacked for the final time, only one marine was in the bunker. The second marine was in the mineral line, and it was killed by drive-by lings as they swarmed the bunker and cut off the SCVs from repairing. The second marine that pops out when the bunker finally dies is a third marine that spawned from the Barracks and entered the bunker in the very seconds that the final zergling attack commenced. My own analysis of Holy World echoes some of the LR posters. There was a minor disagreement about whether or not Jaedong could have finished the game earlier. In his interview, Jaedong says that he felt he was behind. However, there is an entire minute during which only ONE marine is in the bunker... and Fantasy can't make any more. First, he lifts his barracks. Then, his only supply depot dies at the choke. With the re-landed barracks blocking the SCVs' path to repair on the left side, I think that there's no way that single marine could have stopped Jaedong's zerglings from flattening the bunker in record time, had he chosen to mass up and attack rather than let Fantasy rebuild his depot and a factory to boot. Thoughts? | ||

Watching it however is a different story, it has produced such a large amount of great games in such a short time. It's just too short really. They should make the final Bo7 or Bo9. It would still be pretty short and everyone's more satisfied. | ||

Thoughts? Thanks for the thoughtful post. JD's strategy change on Outsider was also important to this series but I didn't feel it was as crucial as the 3set. You are right about Fantasy only having a single marine in the bunker, but I still doubt JD could have busted him earlier or that he was not in serious trouble when Fantasy held the first 6 lings (keep in mind that Jaedong loses the game if he loses a substantial portion of his first lings without completely wiping out Fantasy). I think the factor you are neglecting is Fantasy's SCVs, which JD would have presumed he would mobilize to protect the bunker. One marine is enough to hold ~8 lings if the bunker is near-surrounded by buildings and stacked SCVs are at work. Of course when JD did finally move in, Fantasy was totally out of position and he was really slow to react — I think you could say that if Fantasy's defense was as bad as it ended up being JD could have attacked earlier and won, but there was no way for Jaedong to know that he would catch Fantasy so off-guard. | ||

Jaedong deserved his victory ofcourse, but too bad the last two games were so boring. If those two games were "boring" then so was Boxer bunker rushing Yellow 3 times in a row, Proleague Finals ace match, July vs Best game 1 etc. -_- | ||
