I'm personally not a fan of any game whose first engagement occurs at the 25 minute mark.

Even more so when I get tricked into watching all 25 minutes of singleplayer macro because TL called it the best game of the year.

It's not because there's nothing dying that there's no interaction between the 2 players.



^This. Just because there isn't some kind of insane back and forth battle doesn't mean the game wasn't really interesting. If anything, the lack of actual confrontation is the side effect of hundreds of minor interactions that are happening between players. The second most striking thing about this game is the game plan each player employs: The fact that Jaedong opens double upgraded lings into a potential ultralisk timing into a gigagntic BL/ultra army into multi-pronged harass with pressure into a muta switch is just gorgeous; Patience opens super heavy +1 phoenix harassment into a primarily ground army into a huge air army to counter the muta switch, and it's beautiful.

The transitions are seamless and make so much sense. Just because you don't see a ton of back and forth battles doesn't mean there wasn't anything going on. This game is super densely packed, I can't see it another way.


Side effect of the Infestor/Brood era where people automatically assume <no fighting> = <no action>

The game was beautiful, messy, and felt like it could go either way up until the last moments.

Wish I couldn't tell the bias from the start towards JD, it made it pretty obvious who must have won

I read the Patience viewpoint first before even realizing who won the game. It took me reading the posts to realize there was a 2nd battle report!

I remember watching this game and constantly thinking that JD had lost it, but in the end he managed to win. This game was insane, thanks TL for the battle-report!

Wonderful write-up, keep em coming!

Too one sided an article to be even remotly interessing. Also, the macro hatch was at his third, not his fourth, and patience had 6 stargates, 3 were building and 3 were already done (1 then 2 then 3), the observer showed it as the casters made the mistake...

I only liked this game for the dynamics we saw in the late game, with the close bases they try to take, interesting positions i believe, should be used in future map, and of course the second fight from jaedong (wtf).
