[Showmatch] Clash of the Titans - Page 206

I believe that Zerg is too weak in its current state, however, I think that the outcome of these matches was largely unaffected by balance.

IdrA made a few very simple mistakes (as in: mistakes that are easy to avoid but do huge damage to you if they occur) that cost him games he would've otherwise won.

In game one he basically threw 30-40 banelings plus a lot of lings away into a perfectly placed line of tanks and did almost no damage at all with them. This was just the wrong place to engage Jinro's army.

In the last game, as others have pointed out a lot, he had almost no upgrades (not even baneling speed), was economically behind (which is pretty bad for a Zerg) for a very long time in the game.

The crossfire game was basically over when IdrA had a lot less harvesters than Jinro from the very beginning on. Imo he got a little bit overeager with his 5-6 drones that tried to catch the marines that were about to attack, and then lost a lot of them + lings + lost mining time.

Unfortunately I don't remember Jinros 4th win, but even if that game was lost completely due to some imbalance in the game, one of these 3 games would've been enough to go over to the Metalopolis game.

All in all, Jinro simply played better in this series. I don't know what was up with IdrA, but somehow you could see in the later games that something affected him. Maybe he was tired or tilted, but he didn't play up to his potential. That doesn't mean that he played bad at all, in fact I think he still played as excellent as you can play with ling muta baneling, but as I pointed out above he just made a few crucial mistakes that cost him too many games.
